The state ticket nominated at Jef- ferson City last week, and which can | | be found nailed to our mast head, \is from top to bottom, one of the | |very best ever nominated by the democratic party in Missouri, and | will receive a majority at the coming election that will make the average | republican’s head swim. David R. Francis, the mascot now of the state | democracy, was nominated outside | of all the large cities combined, with |a good majority, showing that he is ) the choice of the farmers of Missouri. As chief executor of a city contain- jing nearly four hundred thousand |souls he has shown a wisdom and | foresight that has won him adher- | ents from all classes. It has been truthfully said that the politicians | were against Francis, but the peo- | ple gave him their unqualified en- jdorsement. The geography of the {ticket could not have been better. | Francis and Barclay from St. Louis, | Stephen H. Claycomb comes from | the great southwest, Jas. M. Seibert from the southeast, Ed. T. Noland of the western portion of the state to satisfy Kansas City, John M. Wood, a faithful and fair representa- tive of the northeast, Col. Robert McCulloch, that grand old war horse of the central portion of the state, Alex A. Lesueur, of Lexington and Timothy Hennessy, ot Randolph, how could a better distribution have been | made. While the young democracy is elated at the munificent recogni- tion received, the old democracy was not neglected. A comparison of such a ticket with the little side show enacted by Mr. Filley at Seda- lia, and the contrast is so great that even a republican would be ashamed to mention the two in the same con- nection. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. There is one requisite every public official in this country should pos- sess, that, in our opinion, is as essential to the proper enforcement of the laws for the best interests of the whole people as talent and brains, and that is a stiff back-bone. As little as may be thought of it, more of our public officers fall far short of their duty for lack of this one quality than on account of any deficiency in ability, integrity, honesty or adapta- bility. A man may be possessed of the soul of honor, of the strictest integrity, of unquestioned ability, and yet fall far short of his duty because of an uncertain, wavering policy. Grover Cleveland has this quality developed to a wonderful ex- tent. He has just thrown another bomb into the camp of the republican Senate that has created intense ex- citement and completely demoralized and prostrated all their deep-laid plans to embarrass the administra- tion. The Senate, in refusing to pass the House bill adjusting the fisheries question, attempted to place the president in the embarrassing position of using retaliatory meas- ures, thereby injuring one section of the country while benefiting another. It was a masterpiece of strategem, but they had not reckoned on the enormous stiffness of the president's spinal column. Mr. Cleveland, hold- ing a full hand, refused to be bluffed, but saw them one better, and asks in an able message that the power granted him under the retaliatory act be extended to enable him not only to retaliate on Canadian vessels entering American ports, but that he may stop the whole of the vast traffic now sent yearly, under bond, from Canada through our country to the Atlantic coast. If the Canadian government will act the hog and detain and harass our fishing ves- sels, the president will protect the American citizen by a retaliation that will prove effective. Now the next moye by the Senate in the great game being played before the whole country will be watched with a great deal of interest. ———— Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, re- fuses to even make a few speeches jfor Harrison. He says his health | will not permit. ; excuse for not making a speech for | Blaine, was that he was not in the | criminal practice. It may be Sena- | tor Edmunds does not favor Chinese and free whisky. Congressman Warner, of Kansas | City, writes a letter from Washing- ton positively declining the re- nomination for congress. ——_———— | Itis estimated that there are 300,- | 000 Sons of Veterans in the United ' States who will cast their first presi- | dential vote next November. It is | safe to predict that these young men will vote as their fathers shot—for the union and a free ballot.—Rocky | Mountain Herald. You bet they will, Bro. Rhoads, and it won't be for Chinese Ben and | Boodle Morton, either. We are of the first voters and will cast our vote for Grover and tariff reform. As to the Union soldiers being republicans, we refer you to the republican lead- ers who are vigorously waving the bloody shirt, viz: John Sherman, Jobunie Ingalls, Jimmie Blaine, Evarts & Co. Where were they during the bloody strife? Can you answer, or does it cause a big pain to own them? The above is from the Colorado Bandanna, whose editor is Joe H. Buck, son of W. G. Buck of Butler. Anyone doubting Joe being the son of a Veteran can be satisfied by ap-| plying at G. A. R. headquarters, this | city. Joe has the manhood of his | convictions and voices the sentiment of many of his brethren, who will | vote their sentiments, and not be} controlled by such sickly, sentimen- | tal rot as the above from the Rocky Mountain Herald.

This week we announce the name | of J. H. Sisson as a candidate for associate Judge of the county court for the northern district, subject to the xction of the democratic pri- maries to be held Sept. 15th. Mr. Sisson is one of our best citizens, upriget, honest and thoroughly quali- fied for the important position, and the Times, from long and intimate acquaintance, has no hesitancy in recommending him to the democrat- ic voters of the north district. If nominated and elected he will con- scientiously discharge the duties of the office with the strictest economy. He is every inch a true democrat and a hard worker for the party. Some Things we Don't Like to See, and Would Like to Know Why. Summit Township, August 25th. Ep. Trurs: Day after day I see the citizens of Bates and even of the near vicinity of Butler, hauling train loads of oats, flax and timothy seed out of our county to Montrose, Ap- pletonCity, ete., and ‘bringing back flour, groceries and implements of all kinds, and I wish to ask why? I have seen grain this week within 3 miles of Butler go to Montrose to! market and am sorry to see such a state of affairs, when I know that | our Butler merchants could success- fully compete with any town within 25 miles. At this time fully one- half of the trade of eastern Bates is going through the hands of oiher dealers than our own, and I have | been told that it is the same way on the west side. These things ought | | the present congress in passing the ; of supply and demand. | the state bear willing testimony to | cial conventions, recently held at PLATFORM. What the Committee Will Report to the Convention. From Thursday’s St. Louis Republic The platform committee, of which Hon. John H. Overall. of St. Louis, is chairman, agreed on a report to- night, and will present their docu- ment to the constitution in the morning. It is as follows: 1. The demoeratie party of the state of Missouri in convention as- sembled, hereby reaffirms and adopts the declarations of principles set forth in the platform of the national | democratic party assembled in con- vention at St. Louis, June 7. and pledges its earnest support to Groyer Cleveland and Allen G. Thur- man, the nominees of that conven- tion, for president and vice presi- dent of the United States. 2. Contident of the mtegrity and wisdom of the democratic party in 1ssg, conducting the affairs of this state, | we invite the closest scrutiny, and we congratulate the people upon the prospect of an overwhelming ap- proval of the state and national ad- ministrations as conducted by the servants of the people and the rep- resentatives of the democratic party. We approve the action of the democratic house of representives of 2 3. Mills bill and declare it to be in obe- dience to the terms of the constitu- tion limiting taxation to the pur- pose of raising revenue for the pay- ment of the necessary expenses and | and obligations of the government. 4. The democratie party, us the special champion of the people, con demns all trusts and monopolies, and favors such wise legislation as {will secure to both producers and | consumers prices based on the laws 5, We deplore and deeply lament the untimely death of Gov. John S. Marmaduke, and the democracy of his honest and faithful adiministra- tion as chief executive of the state and to his exalted character as a Mason and public servaut of the peo ple, whose integrity was above sus- | picion. 6. The splendid judicial ticket nominated by the democratic judi- Springfield, met our approval, and we hereby indorse and commend them to the hearty support of the people of the state.
