That is just what the Union of this city has been doing for months and the state con- vention endorses the very men it so bitterly denounces. It is also inconceivable to us why the F. & L. U., a non-political or- ganization, should always choose the most ultra and radical union labor leaders to represent them abroad. Why don’t they choosea representa- tive from each political party, or choose those not offensive to either? The cause is apparent without wait- ing for an auswer.

Bravey, Secretary. Chairman. F. & L, U. OONVENTION. The State Convention of the Far- mers & Laborers’ Union of Missouri ‘was held at Sedalia last week. It ‘was composed principally of intelli- went and representative farmers of ‘the state who showed by their acts that they were interested more in ‘the welfaré of the farming classes and the preservation of that organ- azatidn for the benefit of that class, sthan in assisting aspiring politicians iin perverting the order for their ben- efit. Of course there were some edemagogues in the convention. It vould be hard to pick so large a “body of men without finding that sthat creature had slipped in una- ‘wares,and in this case they tried thad to drag the order into politics, wbut the sound, sober judgment of sthe.better element prevailed and the “order was saved from so humiliating a fate. U.S. Hall, state lecturer, was -chosen its president, over General -Norymon J. Colman by a vote of 85 sto.54. This in spite of the fact, and Owe say it with deep humiliaty, that -General Colman played the part of demagogue by expressing the sen- atiment that he was willing to re- mmounce his political principles for ‘his office. Considering the fact t he has been honored far above e natural deserts by a democratic ‘wadministration it was, to say the - aleast, unbecoming in that gentleman. #6©6=s-Then the Journal of Agriculture, “with Phil Chew as editor, was re- F wmdorsed as the state organ, in spite sof tire fact that the third party fel- flows had gone to the convention : ng vengeance upon his devot- "ed head. The Union Labor party of this county, under the cloak of F. +& L. U., had resoluted and plotted ‘every conceivable manner to de- F “capitate Phil Chew and his Journal, fied:by Capt. Donohoe that the legates from this county would to the state convention to defeat m for preaident of the order. It ast be humiliating to these little fellows to reflect upon their own lit- Hlenese, and a just and deserved re- e to the F. & L. U.in this county allowing itself to be captured y this Union Labor anarchist ele- nt. “We fail to understand how the better element of the F. & L. U. can port a paper that was started as ‘ ¥.& L. U. organ, which peraist- this county has been captured by the Union Labor fellows, and asa consequence the best men in the F. & L. U. order, those who are not ready to renounce their political principles, are fast leaving it in the hands of these political schemers. The order in this county is in a bad shape and President Hall should give it his individual attention at an early date. That this is true it is only necessary to add further, that while the President of the F. & L. U. or der of this county, Pierce Hackett, should be using his best endeavors to keep politics out of the order, he was chairman of the Union Labor convention and is now stumping the county in the interest of that party. SEE EEE MAJOR J. 3. BRADLEY. Major Bradley, after urgent solic- itations of his many friends through- out the district, consented to accept the nomination for State Senator, tendered him by the Harrisonville convention. This convention recog- nized his pre-eminent qualifications and fitness for the office when it made his nomination unanimous as soon as Bates county presented his name. Major Bradley is a farmer of large ezperience; possessed of a clean pri- vate and public record; has had much experience in legislatiye matters, having represented this county once in the lower house and the district once in the senate. He is a man of sound judgment, a deep thinker and forcible and logical speaker. He has the interests of the farming classes directly at heart and . will faithfully see that they are protect- ed. And last but not least, no bet- ter democrat, or one who has done more in an honorable way in this county to perpetuate that party ever drew the breath of life than Maj. Bradley. His nomination was a wise and judicious measure, and he will carry the full party strength and many, not of his political com plexion, will vote for him who know him and love him for his worth. Denies the Charge. Cuintoy, Mo., Ave. 181, 1890. J. D. Auten, Esa. Dear Sm—Your favor en- closing a short editorial in the Rec- ord of Aug. 16th, 1890, in which he stated that the Democratic Central Committee assessed me $2,000 for the campaign this year, and that I had refused to pay one-fourth of the assessment, has been received. The whole charge is untrue. The Committee did not assess me $2,000 and Idid not refuse to pay one- fourth or any part of it. I do not know where Mr. Austin obtained-his information, but he has either been misled, or has drawn upon his im- agination.for the facts, the latter, however, I am unwilling to believe, because while we have always dif- fered politically, he has always shown me great courtesy and kind- ness. Very truly yours, J. B. Gawrr. Old man Filley again seems to be the high-cock-alorum of the repub- lican party in Missouri. He has as- pirations as a United States senator and think he would make a good substitute for Vest. With a view to securing this coveted office, he pro- poses that the republican sacrifice every candidate in an effort to se- cure the legislature. Chauncey I. will be at the republican convention, Pertle Springs, Monday, and give his instructions privately to the par- ty leaders and openly avow to the nominees that they will undoubtedly be elected.—Warrensburg Journal- Democrat. diers for the state will be held at Nevada, to-day and to-morrow. : HELD UP AND ROBBED. | A Missouri Pacific Passenger Train | Hela up at Otteryille. We clip the following particulars | of the train robberry,which occurred | near Otterville Saturday night, from | Sunday morning’s Sedalia Bazoo: Train No. 3, due here at 3:15 this morning, as indicated in the Bazoo’s special from Otterville, was held up ashort distance east of Otterville at 2:15, just as the train was climb- ing the grade. Four men jumped on the engine and shouted to Engi- ‘had the surveyor’s chain held out. neer Frank Graver and Fireman Tourcille, “Hold up your hands.” The trainmen obeyed the order to bring the train toa stop. The rob- bers then marched Grayer and Tourcillie to the express car, in charge of Messenger S. R. Avery, where the robbers were joined by three others, all of whom wore It is claimed that the increase of population in Chicago during the | past decade has amounted to a frac- | tion over 118 per cent. The increase | would probably have been greater { Chicago’s marvelous growth has been due to her facility of annexing territory. If she had lacked afew thousand of being the second city in the land she was prepar-ed to take in two more counties.—Seda- lia Bazoo.

SUMMY, of Praine township, for Representative subject to the action of the democratic primaries, held August 50th. Weare authorized to announce J. B. DEYERLE, of Mound township as candidate for Represen- tative of Bates county, subject to the action of the democratic primaries, held August 30, ’90. FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE, We are authorized to announce J S. FRANCISCU, Pleasant township, candidate for masks. The leader told the engi neer to tell the messenger to open the door, and not to give an alarm or he would blow his head off. At Grayer’s signal Avery opened the door and was quickly covered with guns. The robbers then entered the ex- press car and took from the safe, which was open, and from a table all of the money packages in sight. Upon the arrival of the train in Sedalia the messenger refused to give any information or estimate how much was taken. But a passen- ger said he heard the messenger say the company had lost more than $30,000. The James boys held up a train at the same place a few years ago. A posse in charge of Delong and Constable Ramsey left this city at 4 o'clock for Otterville. Speaker Reed thinks the southern republicans do not have their share of irflucucs in the councils of the nation. He will be interested to learn that few days ago J. W. Jacson, a negro, who was vice-pres- dent of the recent republican state convention of Arkansas, was charg- ed with stealing from a neighbon’s corn crib, and convicted of the of- fense. Later the same charge was again brought against him, and he was indicted for grand larceny, though on a change of venue he suc- cessfully pleaded that he had al- ready been punished for the same crime. The secretary of the con- vention, J. M. Daggett a white map, who was formerly postmaster at Marianna, was arrested for stealing public funds in his charge, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary.—Jefferson City Tribune. Will Be Gains Everywhere. The simple explanation of the in- creased democratic majorities is that the whole south, white and black republican and democratic, of north. ern or southern antecedents, is hear tily disgusted with the mad machi- nations of the present congress. So, we believe, is the whole country, and the same phenomena will be observ- ed in the north at the first opportu- nity.—Boston Globe. The Alliance President’s Views, Mr. Hickman, who stands at the head of the alliance said that the farmers were organized thoroughly in 113 out of 114 counties in the state. “The alliance,” he said, “is composed of representatives of all the parties and for that reason I do not care to discuss politics as its president, Ican say, though, that the democratic platform is in thor- ough accord with the demarids of the alliance. There is no danger of any falling out between the democ- racy on that question.” It isa melancholy and significant fact that the Union soldiers are dy- ing now about as fast as they died during the war. The death-roll of the Grand Army of the Republic 2°" last year was 5,475 out of a member- ship of 464,462. This will grow larger in each succeeding year, of course, and the time is not very far distant when the great majority of the veterans will be in their graves. —Globe-Democrat. eee Senator Plumb's courage increases ashis vision over the tariff field widens.
