Jefferson City, May 30.—It is stated that yesterday the last in- stallment of ex-treasurer Noland’s shortage was paid into the state treasury with interest from March 4th, 1890—the date the defalcation was made public. One of the beauties of the pro- tective tariff system, which our re- publican farmer friends so patrioti- cally support for the benefit of a few manufacturers, is beautifully exemplified by the fact that the plow which these protected fellows sells to American farmers for $6.75 they sell to Mexican farmers for $5.75.— Ex. ee This week will be found in our announcement columns the name of our popular young deputy sheriff, Joe Shelby, who aspires to write his name as principle the next two years. Joe has made an efficient and popu- lar deputy for the past three years, is active and energetitc in the dis- charge of his official duties and serves papers placed in his posses- sion with promptness and dispatch. Heis thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office and would make and excellent sheriff. He is a native born Missourian and came of a stock that knows neither fear or favor when following duties call. Everett Walton, a young, active, energetic and popular young demo- crat of Lone Oak township, submits his claims to the democratic party of Bates county for the office of Re corder of Deeds. Mr. Welton is a farmer, possessed of bigh moral character, temperate in his habits, a gentleman by birth and education, is competent to perform the duties of the office. He has been a life-long democrat and never wavers in his _ party affiliations. If the democrats “should see fit m their wisdom to — on — gee he will car ry si of his will make a pair who ever entered the court house. D. R. Brapey, Chairman. an Officer second to none | NO NEED OF ALARM. The democrats of Bates county have no need to be alramed at the political outlook this year. When it was first talked that the F.& lL, U. would enter politics as a third party, there was some apprehension that prejudice and passion might predominate on account of the de pressed condition of affairs and the farmer be led astray by the delusion that relief could be gained by a change, no matter how that change | was brought about. But reason is jasserting her authority and her pow- jer is being felt throughout the coun- ty. Whena farmer stops to think that the relief these agitators are offering as an inducement for him to forsake his political principles and sever his party ties are all em- bodied in the democratic platforms and are what the democratic party has been battling for for years, then they realize that the third party cry is but a delusion and a snare, one that is periodically set to capture the unwary. In thepast it has been the tadpole movement, the grange, the greenback party, etc., all prom- ising the relief and blessings prom- ised by the third party manipulation of to-day. The democratic party promised tariff reform, and its works demonstrated its sincerity when under the leaders ship of Grover Clevelandit sacrificed its chances to the presidency rather than depart one step from its prin- ciples on that question. Could you ask more of a party? On the silver question the democratic policy is the same asthe F. & L. U. advo- cates. It believes in an unlimited and free coinage of silver, and to that end the energies of the democrats in congress have been devoted for years. The present coinage of two millions a month is a democratic measure, drafted and submitted by our own Dick Bland, of Missouri,and it has taken a hard and constant fight to keep what we have gained in that direction. You ask why we have not done more and gone furthe er in this direction? For the simple and only reason that the democrats have never had control of both houses and the executive. We are nearer to that consummation than we have ever been. Then why should men who believe in these principles, and demonstrate their belief by incorporating them into their secret order, go off after a chimera and let the substance, so nearly in their grasp, escape them again. But the horizon is clearing in Bates county, discensions are be- ing raised in the ranks of those of- fice seeking politicians and so eager are they to capture the offices, that their official organ has opened up its {vials of wrath and venom upon the state officers of the order and the state official paper, because for the preservation and perpetuation of the order, they advise against a third party ticket. In the issue of the 23rd of May of that paper President Hickman is characterized “a traitor | of the darkest hue,” “the weak kneed, near sighted old party man,” choice epithets directed at the head of their order and one whom a ma. jority of the agricultural counties in the state have endorsed for railroad commissioner. Hon. W. W. Graves announces this week as candidate for the office of State Senator, subject to the ac- tion of the democratic party. Mr. Graves is one of the most promi- nent and successful lawyers in this section of the state. He was county school commissioner for oae term and gave the very best of satisfac- tion. He is highly educated, a brilliant speaker, a man who would fill the office with honor and credit to himself and his constituents. The next senate will be of unusual im- portance, in that it will have to as- sist in electing a United States Sen- ator. Mr. Graves is a strong ad- herent of Senator Vest and we believe that is the sentiment of this district. Mr. Graves is an able and ready de- bater, is possessed of excellent judgment and is a man in every way well qualified for this important of- fice of honor and trust. long democrat, and would add strength to the ticket. By right of rotation the honor of naming the next senator passes to Bates county, and we could not do better than present the name of W. W. Graves as our candidate. ee Hon. John G. Carlise took his seat in the senate last week. | = = Our announcement column this) Jokn W. Duncan announces that week contains the name of R. T. P. Allen, of Walnut township, as candi- date for the office of sheriff. Robert Allen was born in Franklin county, Kentucky in 1852. He moved to Bates county in 1872 and has been a resident of New Home and Walnut townships ever since. He has held several township offices such as con- stable, collector, clerk, etc., in which positions he always gave the best of satisfaction. He has been an ac- tiye and consistent democrat ali his life and this is the first time he ev- er asked for a county office. He is active, energetic and well qualified to perform the duties of the office. Mr. Allen isa brother of the editor of the Tres, but this paper will ac- cord him only the fair treatment and courtesies extended every oth- er candidate for the nomination. He is making the race alone on his mer- its and as such asks the nomination of the democratic party. Noah Nyhart’s name can be found among our announcements this week asa candidate for recorder of deeds of Bates county. Mr. Nyhart is one of New Home township’s oldest and best citizens. He has been an inde- fatigable laborer in the democratic ranks all his life and never before asked preferment of his party. He bears an unblemished reputation, is honorable and just in all his dealings pleasant and agreeable in his inter- course with his fellow man,he is well qualified for the office and would fill it to the entire satisfaction of the whole people. The democracy party would make no mistake by nominat- ing Noah Nyhart. If a tariff of 50 per cent. will con- duce to the general prosperity, why would not taxation to the amount of 100 per vent. double the univer- sal Liessings? The experiment of taxing a nation into prosperity migiit as well be carried to its logic- al conclusion. 1s Stonea Dark Horse? Nevada, Mo., May 29.—The con- gressional committee for the Twelfth congressivaal district met in this city this afternoon and _ selected August 6th as the date and Butler as the place for holding the con- gressional convention. All the com- mitteemen were present except from St. Clair and Cedar counties. Jas- per county was represented by proxy. The basis of representation was fix ed at one delegate for every 250 votes and fraction of 125 cast for Cleveland in 1888. This gives Ver- non 16 delegates, the largest dele- gation of anv county in the district. There are three candidates now in the field for the congressional nom- ination: H. W. Grantley of Appleton City, Joshua LaDue of Clinton and C. H. Morgan of Lamar. The pres- ent incumbent, W. J. Stone, declines to enter the race, this being his third term, but it is said he will ac- cept the nomination if it should be tendered him. The Vernon delega- tion will give him a complimentary yote anyhow, and it is very likely a strong effort will be made by some of his friends to give him the nom- ination. CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. | To be Held in Butler, August 6th, 90 From the Neyada Mail. The congressional committee which met here Thursday fixed the basis for representation for the dem- ocratic congressional convention which meets at Butler Aug. 6, one delegate for every two hundred and fifty votes and every fraction of one hundred and twenty-five votes and over cast for Cleveland in 1888. This will give the convention 96 delegates. The votes of the counties compris- ing the Twelfth district, for Cleve- land in 1888, was as follows: COUNTIES. VOTE. DELEGATES.
