The theory of a primary election for the selection of party nominees is that each iz ual voter of the party may have his part in making the ticket. Now, the average demo- crat in Bates county has no interest |in the approaching primary, except to do his party and the whole people a service, by helping to nominate the men who, all things considered, ought If he will vote wisely, there can be no fault found with the ticket, for it will contain the names of men who can run and need not be carried or hauled. A ticket is as strong as the weakest man upon it. If there be no weak man upon it, then the ticket is as strong as the party which places it in the field. | When a weak man is unfortunately | placed upon a ticket, all work for | the party and for the ticket, as a whole, must stop, while every effor that can be made must be pull the weakling through. Now let us nominate our strongest made to | men if possible; but by all means let us nominate no man who is not as strong as the party. We must be free to work for the whole ticket, that Bates may show up grandly for We cannot afford to have saddled upon us any dead weight. If we do our duty no exception can be taken to our ticket and no special effort for any nominee will be need- ed. But if we place any weak man or men upon our ticket we invite the opposition to strike where we are weak, and, being weak, we must the democracy. |needs re-inforee at the expense of the general ticket. If we have a strong ticket the lines will be sharply drawn, and no straggling need be feared. Let us think of our party and our cause when we vote in the primary. Believing that a party journal that looks to its party for support is far exceeding the bounds of propriety when it attempts to dictate or in- fluence, directly or indirectly, its the Tives has ously avoided saying anything that would tend to show that it favored any one candidate over any of his opponents. We have been repeated- ly approached to publish communi- cations from different portions of the county, as paid advertising matter, but have persistently refused to do so, believing that sueh course could be construed into an indorsement. We believe this to be the most con- sistent course to pursue and retain the party confidence and support. A paper may choose between party as- pirants and by persistent work se- cure his nomination and election, ex- pecting to be paid by the patronage of the office. But in such a course a paper loses the respect and confi- denee of its party and its own digni- ty. The Tres expects to dwell with the good people ot Bates county for many years to come and cannot af- ford to lose their respect and es- teem. We sincerely trust that the demo- crats of the county when they get to the polls onthe 15th, will be actuated for the best interests of the party and nominate a strong ticket that will not have to be apologized for, then in working for the ticket as a whole, the democracy of Butler can roll up a majority that we can point to with pride. Give us a good tick- et and we will promise arousing ma- jority. strenu- It was in 1868, twenty years ago, that John Sherman, now the great protection senator from Ohio, said: “Every advance toward a free ex- cnange of commodities is an advance in civilization; every obstruction toa free exchange is born of the same narrow, despotic spirit which planted castles upon the Rhine to plunder peaceful commerce; every obstruction isa tax upon consumption; every facility toa free exchange cheapens ;commodities, increases trade and | production and promotes civilization. ; Nothing is worse than sectionalism ce towusnip, as candidate for the ote ciate Tudge of the county court of Bates county, norta district, subject to the action Of the democratic party ; | Within a nation, and nothing is better |for the peace of nations than unre- | stricted freedom of commerce and intercourse with each other.” A Hannibal man threshe knocked out 2 this Ww tor | j | We take pleasure in presenting | through our announcement columns the name of that sterling thorough- bred, all wool and a yard wide dem- ; oceat, Thomas Gualt, of Osage town- | ship, as candidate for representative, subject, always, to the will of the democratic party. Every democrat who has attended a democratic coun ty convention in the past two years is familiar with the face of Tom Gault, who can always be found to the front battling for party suprem- acy. Mr. Gault is a clever sociable gentleman, a good neighbor and en- terprising citizen, and thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the farming class. Tom Gault would make a creditable representation for any county. Judge Thurman Improving. Washington, Aug. 30.—Represen- tative Outhwaite has returned to the city and was at the house to-day.

He may follow the plan of last election, going to New York late in the campaign, and from there into Indiana to close.” sav not do as well in go at that time. oceurs in A Card. Ep. Tres. Noticing an article in last week's Times headed, “Things we don't like to see, and would like to know why,” which is intended to reflect upon me particularly, and the business men of Butler in general. I wish to say that “Observer” evident- ly thought more of injuring Butler and her business men than he did of benetiting her, and from the tone of his communications between the lines, an intelligent man can read spite work for some fancied wrong that is probably sticking in “Observ- er’s” craw, or he one of those “eute Aleck kickers” that will crawl into every community and are per- mitted by God Almighty for some unknown reason to exist to attend to every body's business instead of go- ing to work and attending to his own. There may be some farmers who have sold part of their grain at other places and they will do soas long there is competition in business, but “Observer” has grossly exagerated the facts. Ihave been and always will continue to get the business that belongs to Butler and have bought thousands of bushels of grain this year from the immediate neighbor- hood of the M. K. & T. and Gulf roads and have paid as much or more for the crops as any dealer could af- ford to do. I will venture I have thousands of dollars interest in our community where “Observer” hasn’t acent. The business men of Butler are selling and buying more goods at the present time than for three years past, as the receipts at the R. R. section will show, and farmers can get as much for their produce here as at any other place where the freight rates are equal. Facts and figures which are in my possession will prove that “Observer” don't know what he is talking about. E. K. Cazyes. is It would give us pleasure to see | Miss.

Lesvev It is worthy of being chronicled, in this connection, pt. Lesueur will be no “deadhead” in the cam- paign. He is an orator of fine address and can make an eloquent and force- ful speech, and therefore his assist- ance on the stump will be found in- valuable. He is the first nominee for Secretary of State on the demo- cratic ticket possessed of ability in this direction profitable to the cam- paign. THE CONTRACTS LET. The Kansas City and Sabine Pass Road to be Built at once. Captain William Anderson, gen- eral manager of the Kansas City and Sabine Pass railroad, arrived in this city from Europe, where he had been in the interest of his road. The contracts for the first 170 miles of the road out of Kansas City have been let to the well known contract- tor, Mr. R. P. McCormack, of this city. The contract for sixty miles of steel railshas been let to the Ed- gar Thompson steel company. They are to be of the latest approved pat- | tern and will be sixty pounds to the yard. Contracts for ninety miles of ties have been let to local parties along the line of the road. The de- livery will commence the last of next week. Captain Anderson was busy yesterday closing up contracts for terminal facilities in this city and ex- pects to have the contractors break ground not later than the middle of next week. Itis the intention to push the work and complete the line, | if possible this year. Ed. S. Vance wil be a candidate | for the office of chief clerk of the next house of representatives. Ed. is a former resident of Bates county, having taught school here for a number of terms, was connected with the Rich Hill Review for a long time, and later was deputy county clerk under Judge Henry. In every po- sition he proved himself a good citizen, a clever, sociable gentleman, a young man of more than average ability and a democrat to the very core, ever ready to battle for party supremacy, in season and out of season. He was official reporter of the house of representatives for two consecutive sittings of the legis-| lature. Ed. has a number of friends in this county who willalways rejoice to learn of his prosperity. The Truzs wishes him success in his as- pirations. A Millionaire's Family Hurt. Pittsburg Pa.
