The Congressional convention of the 12th district which convened in Butler on last Weduesday, finished its labors on Siturday morning by nominating Judge D. A. DeArmond, of Bates county, on the 521st ballot. The convention was called to or- der Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock by S P Francisco, chairman congres sional committee. After prayer by Elder E. C. Browning, Mayor J L Pace was introduced and welcomed the delegates and visitors to Butler in a few well chosen and appropri- ate remarks. Mr. Francisco, after a neat little speech, named the follow- ing officers of the temporary organ- ization, prepared by the committee: J D Perkins of Jasper county, chair- man; J D Allen of Bates county, secretary; RS Catron, sergeant at arms. On motion the following commit. | tees were appointed: Permanent or mary election. W. F. Tygard, I. N. | ganization and order of business: W Mains, J. C. Clark, J.

This vote remained practi- cally unchanged until the 520th bal- lot when Cass gave DeArmond 7 votes and Vernon gave him 9. The vote stood Morgan 34, DeArmond 36 and LaDue 27. LaDue was drop- ped, when the tug of war came be- {tween Morgan and DeArmond. Ex ‘eitement ran high and friends of both gentlemen were circulating j freely among the delegations. When the balloting began the proverbial pin could have been heard fall. Cass county was called, 4 votes for Mor- gan 8 for DeArmond, was the re- sponse. Cedar, 6 for Morgan. Dade |6 for DeArmond. Henry, 2 for Mor- j gan, 11 for DeArmond. Then the |Jatter’s friends set up a shout, but the next county was Morgan's friends chance and they responded with a tiger when Jasper went 15 for Morgan and St. Clair followed suit with her 7. “Vernon county” ealled the cheery voice of the secre- tary. There was a pause, and the convention heldits breath well know - ing that Vernon held the power to make or break acongressman. The response came, Morgan 2, DeAr mond 14. Then pandemoniam seem. ed to have broken loose, hats were tossed high in air and cheer after cheer rang through the court room to be taken up on the outside when the result was known, men shook hands, hugged and pounded each other and the clerk’s voice calling for Barton county’s vote was drown ed. Barton went 8 for Morgan and Bates 14 for DeArmond, making the vote stand, Morgan 44, DeArmond 53 One of Jasper county's delegates moved that DeArmond’s nomination be made unanimous, which was car ried with a whoop. A motion was made and carri- ed that Judge DeArmond be invited to address the convention. The chairman appointed J. T. Smith, B G.

The Judge was visibly affected, but made one of the happi- est efi rts of his life. He said that he could stand defeat with stoicism, but victory over such strong and manly opposition overcame him. He thanked his friend and those who had so ardently stood by him in this fight, and dwelt upon the noble, un- selfish devotiun to him of his old fricr 4s and neighbors of Dade coun ty, who kad stood by him unmoved through the whole of the proceed- ings. He thanked the Vernon county delegation who owed him nothing for its generous support, and kindly remembered Cass and Henry coun ties. To those who had seen fit to oppese him he had nothing but praise and admiration to offer for the fair and courteous treatment. Col. Morgan was called for and responded in a happy effort He thanked his friends and compliment- ed those who opposed him on their courteous treatment. He gave the democracy some excellent advice and offered his services in the com- ing campaign. After the adoption of the pending resolutions, the convention adjourn- ed sine die. Be it resolved by the Twelfth con- gressional district: First—That we reaffirm and in- dorse the principles laid down in the national platform of 1888 and the state platform of 1890 Second—That we favor tariff for revenue only and the free and un- restricted coinage of silver. Third—That we refer with pride to the bold, honest and patriotic ad ministration of Grover Cleveland and that we approve of the course of our senators and democratic rep- resentatives in congress. Fourth—That as labor is the source of wealth we pledge ourselves to do allin our power to prevent labor from being robbed of its hard earning; that we favor the equality of all classes in the commercial world. Fifth—That we denounce as wick- ed and intolerable the McKinley tariff bill for increasing the tax on the necessities of life and decreasing that on luxuries. Sixth—That we denounce the Lodge elections or force bill as a great step toward centralizing the power of the government and a di- rect attack upon the liberties of tho American people. Seventh—That we denouuce the present republican administration for its extrav: ce and unfriendly legislation to the farming and labor- = amo we condemn the re- ublican y for ing subsi- Aes to ship sce aa, iron, woolen and other monopolies, there- by placing the burden of taxation upon the toiling masses Ninth—That we are in favor of strict economy in national, state and municipal government Resolved, That we are pleased | careful of party interests. | biographical sketch from the K.

Judge D. A. DeArmond, the suc-; cessful nominee and, by virtue of! that, the next congressman from the ; Twelfth district, is one cf the lead-} ing lawyers of southwest Missouri. | He is well known throughout the! state in both political and legal cir. cles. He was born in Blair county, | Pa., March, 1844, and was educated | in the common and high schools of | Blair county and Williamsport, Pa. | After completing his education he| engaged in farming and teaching | school. In 1867 he was admitted | to the barof his native state and} from that time began the practice of | his profession with eminent success. | Judge DeArmond came to Mis | sourl June 23, 1867, locating in Dade | county. He practiced law until 1878 when he was elected to the state | senate. Although a democrat he| was indorsed and supported by the greenback party in the counties of Dade, Dallas and Hickory. In 1884 he removed to Bates county settling at Butler where he has since resided. On the resignation of Judge Phillips as a member of the supreme court commission in December, 1684, Judge DeArmond was appointed to succeed him. He was the special cousel for the state in the celebrated Hannibal and St. Joseph sailroad litigation. He was elected judge of the twenty-second judicial circuit in 1886. He is married and has four children.

M. Steele, of Pleasant Gap township. can be found in our announcement columns as a candidate for presiding judge of the county court, subject to the action of the democratic primaries. Judge Steele is an old citizen and a tried democrat of our county. He has held important positions in every township in which he has resided and has had experience as a county judge having served one term as as- sociate justice. He is a man of ex cellent moral character, and public record. He has made a success of his own business and would look just asclose and careful after the county’s interests. Judge Steele would make an excellent presiding judge and the people need have no fears to intrust their busiuess in his hands. . Col. Clarkson first assistant post® master general, has decided to quit the cabinet and is busy settling up his business affairs in this country. He has decided to locate in Japan and engage in commercial business. Missouri congressmen seem to be giving satisfaction. R. P. C. Wil- son was nominated by acclamation, a few days ago, and “Silver Dick” Bland was treated in the same way at Jefferson City, on Wednesday.
