We are authorized to announce L. 8,PADDOCK, Mt. Plearant township, as candidate for the office of sheriff ut Lates county, subject to the action of the democratic party. FOR COUNTY TREASURER, We are authorized to announce SAMUEL STARK, of Pleasant Gap township as candi office of county treasurer, subject to the action of the democratic party. Township Delegates. The following is the number of delegates each township is entitled to send to the county convention on May 9th at Butler: Mingo 4 Mt. Pleasant 16 Spruce 6 Lone Oak 3 Deep Water 5 Osage 24 Hudson 5 New Home 8 Rockville 4 Charlotte 4 Prairie 3 Elkhart 4 Pleasant Gap 6 East Boone 5 Summit 4 West Boone 4 Shawnee 4 West Point 3 Grand River 4 Homer 2 Deer Creek 5 Walnut 9 Mound 2 Howard fe The Clay county democrats have instructed for Grover Clevelaad. —_—_————_—— We do not see that the interests of Mr. Harper and Col. Stone conflict in the least, and a delegation for Mr. Harper should not be anti-Stone. In the national convention hall in Chicago 350 seats will be set apart for the daily newspaper men in ad- dition liberal provisions will be made for the country press. The Times is earnestly in fayor of Thos. L. Harper for railroad com- missioner and the delegation to the state convention from Bates county should be enthusiastic for him. Col. W. J. Stone is evidently the choice of a large majority of the democrats of Bates county. That being true the delegation from Bates coun ty should support him for gov- ernor. The republican eonvention held in New York Thursday, goes to the na- tional convention —uninstructed. This the dispatches say is a black- eye to Harrison. Depew, Platt, His cock and Warner Miller, were elected delegates at large. The Henry County Republican thinks because the people of Mis. souri, regardless of the past, have assisted the ex-Confederate home at Higginsville, Senators Vest and Cockrell had no right to vote against that hundred thousand dollar appro- priation for holding the Grand Army encampment at Washington. Will the Republican please name auother city in the United States, where the encampment has been held that con- gress has donated a dollar toward the expense. This being true why make an exception in the case of Washington City. Heretofore oth- er cities (for the advertisement and benefits derived) have been only too glad to entertain the encampment without asking government aid, and this dodge of the Washington peo- ple to steal from the national treas ury is not appreciated by the mem bers of the organization in Illinois and many other states, who have de nounced the scheme and entered their protest againsi this unlawful pillage of the public money for the private use of acity. Again it sets a very bad precedent for other cities to take advantage of in the future. Vest, Cockrell and the other senators that entered their protest against the steal should be commeded for guard- ing the public crib. The newspapers of the sixth con- gressional district are apparently united in support of David A. De- Armond’s renomination to congress. The Clinton Democrat, among oth- ers, says: “Judge DeArmond for a new congressman and a very modest man, already ranks high among our national legislators. No opposition to his re-election has yet been heard and in all probability he will be re. nominated by acclamation. It would be a fitting compliment to an able and honest public servant.”—St. Louis Republic. te forthe | jfor this office In selecting their | candidate for governor the republi- |caus displayed considerable wisdom. Mr. Warner is an able lawyer, a shrewd politician, a good organizer and oue of the best debaters m the jstate Col. Stone is his peer in ev- jery respect and as nominees of the two great parties, it would indeed be a meeting of giants, and the peo ple of Missouri would witness one jof the most brilliant campaigns ever j conducted in the st Secoud. The dena placed y of Ver non county that of county under great obligation when they nominated tavored and crac | our congress. While Vernon county has been removed from our congres al district, this in canuce’s our obligations in this matter, an sion nowise her gratitude by sending a delega- tion to the state convention that will support Col. Stone for governor Third. Aside from the above what appears to us cogent reasons, we be y of the lieve that a large major democratic voters ot our county are Col. Stone’s friends and desire his nomination, and they should claim the right to be represented. MR. WALTON NOT A POLITICIAN. Itis said that Col. Walton, a prominent Butler banker, is anxious to go to Jefferson City as a de from Bates county, terests of Col Stone. erate inst the in The agricul Walton remains at home.—Nevada Noticer. Mr. Walton is owe of the promiuvent and successful business men not only in this county but iu Southwest Missouri. He came to Bates a poor boy, and by {ndustry and shrewd business sagacity has amassed a fortune. In all of his busi ness dealings he has been scrupulous ly just aud honest, rendering unto every man his just dues. If Wm. E. Walton haz an enemy in Bates coun ty we have yet to learn of him. He is not in politics and th» effort be ing made by certain politicians to use him as a cat's paw to drag the political chestnuts out of the tire will not avail. If Mr. Walton wants to go as a delegate to the state eon vention, we believe that he will be elected without serious opposition and we know that he will fully and fairly represent his people, and if a most majority of the democrats of Bates eounty are for Col. Stone, he will vote for that gentleman for gover- nor. We repeat that Mr. Waiton is not in politics, is not making any fight against Col. Stone or avy other candidate and the stones that are going the reunds to that effect are false and malicious. Amende Honorable. Kansas City Times, 2. Mr. J. D. Aller of Butler, who was referred to in these coluwns as being against Cleveland, writes a de- nial. He says: “The Times evidently received its information from one of my friends (7) who endeavored to encompass my defeat iu Bates county by the same tissue of falsehoods. I am for Grover Cleveland for presi- dent, first, last and al! the time, and the sterling democrats of Bates couuty knew this when they gave me their endorsement over my esteemed Opponent by a two-thirds vote in the county convention. I am satisfied the Times has no disposition to do me an injustice, such as the publica- tion of the above item is calculated to do, and trust and believe it will give this card equal prominence in its columns.” Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas deliyered four lectures in Clinton last week. In speaking of his speech the Clinton Democrat says: He scored the Republican party from top to bottom. The McKinley bill was thoroughly sifted When: he reached the wool question the re publican sheep raising farmers were made to wince and twist in their seats.

Brussels, April 28.—There has been another duel as a sequel of the Fox Rorrowe affair. Comments in clubs, cafes and public places gener- ally baven’t been restricted and as a result of the varied comments a du el took place Wednesday evening be- tween Harry Vane Milbank and a Frenchman whose name has not been divulged. This much however is known. A duel occured at a place distant about two miles from Osteud. The cause of the affair was a remark made by the Frenchman regarding the character of the Fox Borrowe meet- ing. The Frenchman was wounded in the hip. Whether the wound was serious isnot known. The entire matter was kept a profound secret, the principals, second and a few oth ers of the party keeping aloft from outsiders. The weapon used, the points of the cartel and in fact every thing pertaining to the meeting seems to have been kept from public otservation. Later advices show that the Frenhman’s wound is of a very dan- gerous character. The weapons used were the regulation dueling pistols and the duel was fought at adistance of twelve paces. The wounded man was taken aboard a steam yacht lying oft Ostend and is being attended by friends. Oruler.
