We point with pride to the state ticket at the head of our columns as the result of the deliberations of the democratic convention held at St. Joseph last week. It is a ticket strong in its individual make up; well selected as to locality and wise and judicious nominations consider- ing the interests tepresented. Judge Gantt stands at the head of the bar in the state as a lawyer of ability, a man pure and clean in pub- lic and private life, possessed of the courage of his convictions and with- out a blot or stain upon his charac- ter. Heis a noble, high-minded gentleman and his name at the head of the ticket will give it strength throughout the state. Prof. L. E. Wolfe, of Moberly, one of the best and most experienc- ed educators in the state, will make an excellent superintendent of pub- lie Instruction. He is in every sense of the word a self educated man, having attended school but a few months in his life, but he is one of the best read men in the state and has devoted the greater portion of his life to teaching. He is an ex- cellent gentleman, courteous and af- fable. A man of marked ability and prepossessing manners. He is young, energetic and will make a strong race, and fill the office acceptably to the whole people and to the advan- tage of the schools of the state. Mr. Hickman is a practical farm- er, is president of the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union of the state, isa man of natural ability and thorough ly in sympathy with the farming classes. He has made a close study of railroads, their management and government, and is well qualified to fillthe important office of railroad commissioner. He will see that the laws are enforced strictly and there will be no discriminating in favor of a few and against the great agricul- tural interests. It was a wise and judicious nomination when Mr. Hick- man’s name was placed on the tick- et. Allin all it is an excellent ticket, astrong ticket and the press and prominent men over the state have congratulated the convention on its good work. —_—__—— AN EXTENSION WANTED. Messrs. Ingalls, of Nevada, and Malin, of Ft. Scott, together with ie PE ty ewe Joewey we now ( .sramg io Secure un extension of time on same, which expires on the Ist of July. About three weeks ago the gentlemen met in secret cav- cus with the numters of the city council, in the rear end of the post- office building, and elicited a prom- ise from each member to vote for such extension on certain conditions. On Saturday night last the council held a special session to consider this matter. The gentlemen asking the extension presented a certified check for one thousand dollars, as a guarantee that the works will be completed by the date specified in the ordinance. This check was cor- ered so completely by conditions that several members of the board considered it no more than a straw bond and voted against it. The vote on the extension ordinance resulted in a tie, Messrs. Graves, Smith, Legg and Carter voting no. Sunday afternoon Alderman Boyd, accompanied by Mayor Pace, visited all of the aldermen and secured the names of seven out of the eight to an agreement for an extension pro- vided the company put up a forfeit- ure of $1,000 without conditions, and deposit $10,000 worth of materi- alon the ground. Mr. Graves re- fused to sign this agreement. The Trars has interviewed nearly every lawyer in the city on the question of the legality of such action of the board, and in every instance the opinion is that the council has no legal right to extend this franchise without first submitting it to a vote of the people. This is the very thing these gentlemen don’t want and are using the argument with the members of the board that the peoplewould not vote an extension. In this they are correct, for we believe after a careful investigation that three-fourths of the people of Butler are opposed to such an action. There are many rea- sons why this extension should not be made. The people are better ed- acated on the question and while they voted it, thinking it & good by ie ‘ Sa a aoe \ proposition, they know now by in-|lands now held for speculative pur- vestigation that it is not. Among|poses should be — pas og hi objections that could|Y#lue- We further demand the for- mugen apa aes : ._ | feiture of all land grants to corpora- be argued against this ordinance is tions not actually earned, and that that of granting the company the| measures be taken to prevent aliens right to name its own plumber with-| from holding or acquiring title to out frestriction to his charges, a |land in the United States and terri- ious defect.

In fact it looks a little strange that these gentlemen should so persistently in- sist upon having an extension of this franchise when only 12 days of the time remains and they could then come before the board and ask a new franchise. Democratic State Platform. The committee on resolutions pre sented the following, which was read by E. W. Stephens, of the Co- lumbia Herald, and adopted without a dissenting voice. The democratic party of Mis- souri, in convention assembied, de- clares its renewed and unfaltering faithin the principles of the party as the only security of republican government and the perpetuity of the liberties of the people; the su- premacy of the general government in the exercise of all the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, the reserved rights of each and ev- ery state in the Union as to all such powers not so delegated or by the Federal Constitution prohibited to the states; opposition to class legis- lation, monopolies aud trusts; equal and just taxation of all classes, with- favor or distinction, for the mere support of the government, which shouid protect life liberty and prop- erty ulike; the absolute equality of all citizens before the law without distiuction. On the maintenance of thes« principles depend the perpe- tuity of our free and enlightened repubiican form of government and the general welfare and the happi ness, prosperity and continued free dom of the people. We condemn the present system of turiff taxation as unjust, inequita- ble and iniquitovs, whereby the principal burdens of taxation are laid upon the necessities of life, and the uxuries are enabled to escape their just proportion, and we de: maud the entire revision of the tar iff system ona revenue basis so ad- justed as to place the burden of tax- ation upon all classes alike with equal and exact justice to all and special favors to none, and we ar- raign the republican party as being directly responsible for the enact- ment of the present unjust tariff system. We regard trusts or combinations of individuals and corporations to control prices as a legitimate result of the present iniquitous tariff, and we demand the repeal of the tariff taxes that enables such corporations to extort from the people exorbi- tant prices for the products which they control. We declare it to be the duty of our legislators, state and federal, to use all reasonable effort within constitutional limits to prevent the creation and circum- scribe the powers of monopolies, which in their operation have the effect to forestall markets and other- wise interfere with the free exercise of trade. We arraign the present national administration for having violated its pledges to the people and fla- grantly usurped powers not commit- ted to its hands. The reckless pros- titution of the civil service by the president and senate has only been exceeded by the brutal overriding of the minority in the lower house of congress in defiance of every time- honored precedent and in disregard to the constitution which apportions representatives to the several states according to population. We de- nounce the arbitrary rulings of the presiding officer of the house of rep- resentatives as flagrant usurpation and we cordially indorse the gallant and stubborn resistance of the dem- ocratic minority in their defense of the rights of the people. We declare that the people of the several states are the source of all power and they alone are authorized to direct and control the affairs of their respective goverments, subject ee and self-impos- ed limitations, and we further hold that any interferance or attempted interferance on the part of the fed- eral government in the selection of oursenators and representatives in congress is an assumption of power unwarranted by the constitution,and an arbitrary attempt to encroach up- on the rights of the several states. We are in favor of free and unre- stricted coinage of silver, and the increase of volume of currency to meet the legitimate demands of trade, and we believe the power to issue and control the volume of such currency should be exercised by the government. The public, the heri of the people, should be held for actual railroads or 5; and all settlers only, not another acre to as the Australian ballot system pass- ed by the last general assembly of the state, so that it may apply to all the counties, and permit any politi- cal party or any individual to place a ticket inthe field without having given a previous expression at the 8. The democratic party founded in Missouri and has ever favored a sys- tem of free education, and we point with pride to the magnificent and liberally sustained public school system of this state,which it has inau- gurated and fostered. We denounce | |combinations and trusts by which | the price of school books is large- ly increased above s reasonable cost and we favor such legislation as will free the people from their grasp. and | give the school books to the children of the state at a reasonable cost. | We are justly proud of the splen- | And Road Carts, Hay Rakes, did record of our democratic sena tors and representatives in the pres-| S&XALladay Wind Mills, Iron F’croee ent congress, and point with special and Tanks.

Vest in the United States senate in behalf of human liberty and equal rights, by which he has endeared himself to the democracy of the en- tire Union. he democratic party in Missouri believes that a public office is a pub- lic trust and it demands and will require of every officer strict ac- countability and honesty and efficien- cy, and when in any case a public officer has proven recreant it de- mands his removal and punishment. We refer with pride to the prompt action of Gov.
