INTERNAL DISSENSIONS.- One of the most notable political battles in the history of this nation will be fought in this year of our Lord, 18 Armies are mustering and recruiting, drill-masters are hard at work drilling the raw recruits into soldiers and trying to bring organi- zation and discipline out of chaos. Woe uuto the army that neglects this time for fortifications are left out of repair and defenseless, whose companies aud regiments are without arms aud aw- anitior, and remain raw recruits ine stead of trained soldiers. When the battle comes on they will make but @ poor resistance and certain and in evitable defeat stares them in the face. One of the worst enemies a party as to contend with on the eve of a campaign is internal dissension. To be successful a party must reserve all its amunition for the enemy, aud fay aside petty jealousies and per- sonal ambitions for the good of a great cause. It 1s a commendable ambition for a worthy and compe preparation—w hose ent man to seek the nomination of aF, held at W. great party to the highest office in the gift of the people. But each andevery aspirant for this honor should bear in mind that the suc oss of the grand principles of the democratic party are paramount to the gratifications of the personal ‘awbitions of any man, and he who forgets this in his zeal for promo- ‘tion is unworthy of the high posi ‘tion, no matter what his attainments and qualifications for the office This same principle applies forcibly in state and county as in national politics, and while the can- didates for the different offices to be filled should be given an opportuni- ty to be seen and heard, so that the ‘very best meu may be chosen, all Ditterness and acrimony should be kept out of the campaign, so that swhen the nominations are made and the tight on the oppostion is begun, an unbroken and impregnable front can be presented to the enemy. This isa very serious question, and one with which every majority party | has to contend. There is no doubt ‘but what it contributed largely to -our defeat in Bates county two years -agoand unless wisdom is learned from the past and senseless aud un- seemly personal fights among the | candidates are avoided, the same re- sults this fall may be expected. We therefore urge upon every democratic aspirant in Bates county, on the very out set, to avoid these bitter and acrimonious fights. If -your opponent has a chapter in his life that would make him a weak aman upon the ticket, depend upon it that the people will find it out without your assistance; and by you and your friends, in your interest, cirenlativg reports of a detrimental character to an opponent will not make you any stronger on the ticket af you should happen to secure the momination. Make a fair, honorable and manly campaign, and if nominat- ed you have friends, where otherwise you would have enemies in your own party. The Cass County Missourian gays: “Bates county nominated J.
