The city convention Monday night passed off harmoniously aud nominated a strong ticket ot young aggressive business men, who have interestsin the city’s welfare and prosperity. Col. Pace, was nomi- nated by acclamation, a fitting en- dorsement of ‘his course as mayor for the past two years. He will be elected by a larger majority than two years ago and the city will con- tinue to prosper under his able guidance. M. S. Horn is a young lawyer of ability and energy and will make the city fathers au excel lent legal adviser. R. M. Wright for marshal, Geo. Patrick for collect or, J. E. Williams treasurer and H. M. Cannon recorder, all good strong men, representative democrats und will make competent and worthy of ficial. Our council will be compos- ed of such sterling young democratic business men as T. J. Potter, W. C. Burrus, John Patton, T. K. Lisle and Harvey Clark. The editor of the Times is very much gratified at the flattering en- dorsement and vote of confidence given him by the sterling democrats of Bates county, in convention as- sembled, ou Saturday last. We ap- preciate it the more highly because of the imputation that had been cast upon our democracy. We have no disposition to boast,and will not say one word that will tend to reflect upon avy gentleman who saw fit in his wisdom to oppose us in this mat- ter, but we cannot forbear to express our heartfelt thanks and deep appre- ciation to those political aud warm persoral friends who so nobly stood by us in this matter. For our honorable opponent, Col. W. P. Coleman, we have nothing but the highest regard and admiration for him, as an hovorable gentleman of the strictest integrity, aud a foe- man worthy the steel of any oppo- nent. He is our warm personal friend and we would delight at any time to do him honor. The name of Presiding Judge Henry Reece was sprung at the last moment without his consent and he was not a candidate in any sense of the word, though competent and worthy in every respect to represent our people in the national conven tion. SEE The story, started from Jefferson City, that Col. Stone had withdrawn from the governor's race because of sickness, is emphatically denied by his Nevada friends. Col. Stone went into this race with his eyes open, aftera careful survey of the field and he will be found “in it” after the state nominating convention has ‘completed its work. He is one of the brainiest men of the state gifted with the power of eloquence few can boast of even in the whole nation. He is a statesman of experience and would make a governor second to none the state ever had. aes The McKinley president and his party have put back on coffee a tax that the republican party had sense enough to take off at a time the national debt was over twice as great as it is now. What little sense there ever was in republicanism of Harrison, Reed, McKinley, Quay, Dudley and Wanamaker.—St. Louis Republic. Senator Berry spoke for a good many democrats when he asked: “Where has that Treasury surplus of more than $100,000,000 gone, which was turned over to this ad- ministration three years ago?” COUNTY DEMOURATIC CONVEN- TION. The democratic county conven- tieu to send delegates to the state- national convention, at Sedalia, May 11th, 1892, met at the court house Saturdag, and orgauized by electing Hon. John B. Newberry chairman, and John Taggart secretary. On motion the following commit- tees were appointed by the chair: Crepentiats:—S. W. Dooley, D. A. Colyer, J. C. Martin, J. C. Hale aud Zera Raybourn. OxDER OF BUSINESS AND RESOLU- J. C. Hayes, W. R. Thurman and H. Pliibrick While waiting for the committecs to report Judge Gibson, candidate for governor, was invited to address the convention.

We, your committee beg leave to report further the following resolu- tions: Waereas, It is the sense of the democrats of Bates county, by and through their delegates in conven tion assembled, that the question of but when, after gaining a district, aud the capital invested in them has tariff reform and reduction of tax+s, thereby lightening the burdens of the masses, is the chief and most vi- tal issue of the coming campaign, | their feelings hurt —St. Louis Re-} and Whereas, Grover Cleveland, es an officer and citizen, is and has been the great leader of the party upon this most important issue and-one | upon who:n the party can safely re- ly foru vigorous fight against trusts, | said tit o:« reason beyond all oth-| 4 3 ' and monopolies and the unjust tariff taxes, by the aid and influence of which such monopolies and trusts are fostered, created and sustained, therefore be it Resolved, That the delegates se-, lected by this convention to repre- sent Bates county in the state na- tional convention to be held at Se-} dalia, May 11th, are instructed to vote for such men only as delegates to the national couvention as are known to be friendly to the candida- ey of the Hon Grover Clevelaud should his uame be presented to such convention as a candidate and be it further Kesolved, That is the event ex- President Grover Cleveland will not permit his name to be used in the national convention, then for such men for national delegates known tobe pledged to work for some other good westeru democrat. Which report and resolutious were unavimously adopted. Hon. W. W. Graves then present- ed a list of 14 delegates to the state convention, pledged to support J. D. Allen for natioual delegate. as are S W. Dovley presented a delega- tion representing W. P. Coleman, Marion Todd named a delegation favoring H. C. Reece. Ona call of the townships the vote stood, for Allen 84, Coleman 36, Reece 14. On motion the endorsement of J. | D. Allen was made unanimous. | The delegates selected to attend the State convention are as follows: J N. Bricker, Geo. W. Newberry, S Hoffman, C. R. Walters, H. P. Nickell, W. R. Thurman, J. C Hale. W. W. Graves, J. H. Gregg, E. C. Mudd. NE. Stephenson, Oscar Reeder, R G. West and J. H. Craw ford On motion convention ad- journed. Col. Henry Watterson of the Courier-Journal, will lecture at Springfield the 30th inst. Would it not be a good thing for our opera house managers to get him to come to Butler while he is in this section of the country. Everybody far and near would like to hear Col. Watter- son.

Mareh = 14.— Governor Francis, this transmitted to the Senate a supple afteravon, mental message recommending reduction of the maximum taxation for State revenue from 20 to 15 cents ou the $100. The message is the most impor- tant and will have the greatest bear- ing on the state campaign, from a democratic standpoint of auy sub- mitted to the general assembly at the extra session. Senators Major and Rouner introduced a bill providing for car- rying out the suggestions contained in the Governor’s message. each State Conventions. St. Louis, March 16.—The State fixed the time of holding the State Judicial convention July 6, aud the convention to nomivate governor and balance of State ticket July 19.
