There is no question but that a ma- jority of the delegates at the Sedalia convention were for Col. Stone for governor,as much so as the same con- vention 4 years before was for D. R Francis. The impression among politicians all over the state is that the fight 18 between Stone and Dalton with chances in Stone’s favor. It is generally conceded by all the counties of the Gth district that Judge DeArmond will succeed him- self in congress without opposition. This is as it should be. He is mak- ing us an able aud brilliant repre- sentative, a hard worker and is al- ways at his post of duty. The in- terests of our people are safe in such hands. —_— If the mayor and board of alder- mea detire the distinction of being the most cordially hated gentlemen ever in Butler let them put an occu- pation tax upon our business men. They already pay an immense tax for the privilege of doing business in the city, now to force an addition- al hardship upon them is the last straw to break the camel's back. Le AaaREEEENESEaEE A certain paper in this town, be fore the election, kept it continually before the people that there was to be no occupation tax levied. That same paper is now paving the way for an oe- cupation tax. The revenue is sufficient to run the city and make all needed improvements, and the mayor and eity council had as well understand at the very outset that the people will not stand an occupation tax.
