The Hannibal Journal is letting is zeal for its favorite candidate, Mr. Dalton, get the better of its judg-| ment. Col. Knott should remember that this is a friendly contest within the party for the nomination and that whoever is successful in being the party standard bearer has the rightto expect the undivided and en- thusiastic support of every democrat and every democratic journal in the state. We all have a right to our choice before ¢he convention, but we should be moderate and temper- ate in our expressions so that we will not have furnished the enemy weapons of warfare against our own nominee. The Journal is making a special fight against Col. Stone, and among others equally absurd it charges that he bolted the demo- cratic nomivee for circuit judge in 1880, and thereby caused his de feat. It is a matter of history that there were, unfortunately, two democratic conventions in that district at that time and Col. Stone affiliated with the one which nominated Judge Scott. Which, if either was at fault remains a mooted question between democrats. It is a well known fact, however, that Col. Stone has thrice been elected to congress from a dis- trict whose boundries inclosed every county in that old district in which that unfortunate dispute occurred and it was a significant fact that every one of those counties support- ed him tor the nomination in all three of his races. It is also a notic- able fact that the Bates County Democrat, which now claims to know so much about that event and insin- uates that the Journal's charges are true, was one of Col. Stone's ardent supporters in his congressional race and defended him against these very same charges Col. Stone is a true and loyal democrat, a distinguished statesman | anda worthy and talented gentle- man and if he should get the nomi- nation he will conduct one of the most brilliant campaigns ever wit- | nessed in the state and be elected by | an increased majority. If he is de- feated he will be found battling for the democratic ticket just the same. ‘Washington dispatch in Saturday's | Republic: “The republican senate, | by a large majority, in which, | strange te say, many democrats par- ticipated, voted to charge the tax- payers of the United States the $100,000 for the entertainment of the grand army here. The demo- cratic house, however, as before | stated, has refused to go into this scheme, but is willing to allow $75,- 000 to be taken exclusively from the funds of District of Columbia. In| the fight in the house over this | question Mr. DeArmond of Mis- souriand Mr. Dockery took a con- spicuoues part. Mr. Dockery, in fact, being the chairman of the sub- committee, took the most active/ part of any man in the house against the scheme to rob the taxpayers at large, and he was ably supported by Mr. DeArmond, who, by the way, adds to his reputation every time he speaks in the house.” Congressman DeArmond’s renon:- | ination will take back a keen, quiet, hard tempered man whose services as a supporter of the administration Mr. Cleveland will learn to rely upon. He makes no blunders, is afraid of nothing, and reserve his speeches |nothing short of a scandal. FOSTER, JOBBER. The Leonard Warner Combine.

This is perhaps, | taking it all in all, the boldest and | | greatest outrage that has ever been | perpetrated with deliberation upon the American peop'e. Foster is at the present time the attorney of six foreign governments at this capital, and he is also the attorney of about 150 foreigners who have claims, or think they have claims, jagainst our government. He has been in the lobby, and in what may be called wita propriety the job | department, for years. His appoint- ment as secretary of state only con firms that Harrison still believes in the theory of government and pro- priety that caused him to place Wanamaker and Elkins and now Foster in his cabinet. Foster has been the attorney of the Mexican government here for years. He is also attorney for the Chinese gov- ernment. He is special attorney for the Spanish government. He has a retainer from the British govern- ment He has been identified in the lobby with at least folr of the South American republics for five or ax years past. When Mr. Bayard was secretary of state he refused Foster and Trescott permission to examine papers in the state depart ment on the ground tiat both were the attorneys of foreign governments and were lobbyists before congress. AS A FOREIGN CLAIM AGENT. As soon as Mr. Bayard retired from the state depertment both Fos- ter and Trescott were appointed to pominent positions in the state de- partment, although neither of their names have’been carried on the rolls. They were paid by the secretary of state from what is known asthe con tingeut expense account. Neither of their salaries have been regulated by congress, nor have their appoint ments been approved by the senate or by any congressional committee Foster has appeared six times dur ing the present congress before the house committee on foreign relations. He has made speeches against this goyernment; Spanish claims against this government; Chinese against this government; Peruvian claims against the government, he has also made special pleas in behalf of private claimants. In fact, Mr. Foster has been a lobbyist, pure andsimple. He was so recognized by members of congress, and his connection with the state depart elaims and | ment, even in an extra-official capaci- ty, was looked upon as a scandal. The fact that Le has been appointed secretary of state while still the agent and attorney and lobbyist of several foreign governments and of several foreign individual claimants who think they have claims against this government, is looked upon as He was contirmed promptly by the senate. The democrats did not vote, but were very happy to keep silent and sume the responsibility for his prompt admission. All of the iron mills in Pennsy!- vania closed down July Ist, and over fifty thousand laboring men thrown out of employment. The plants | have been surrounded by high board fences, and the men are told that they must accept reduced wages be- fore the mills are again started up. Here is an example of how protected industries increase wages and we are at a loss to know how the republican campaign liar and stump orators are going to fix the wage problem for Mr. Carnegie who is now spending the summer in his Scotland mansion and ordering wages cut on his Penn- sylvania mills. The Democratic platform was not written to please tha Republican or- gans or the party of Force bills anda tariff for protection to Plutocrats. allow the republicans to vote and as. | | democrats and they will ‘ticket this fall. this will give Maj Warner, the re- poublicar nominee, more press a fight-| make a neck and neck race with the! | demceratic nominee.” All this and yet Mr. Leonard! | claims to have loved democratic prin- | ciples. third party has no show for success, | but will lend his influence to Major | William Warner the republican nom- | inee. Democrats, you who sympa thize with the alliauce, open your/ eyes and see the trap this man would | lead you iuto. A vote for Leonard means a vote for Warner. Then be on your guard and vote the straight | democratic ticket.—Howard County Democrat. The New York “Post” says it has received the following conundrum | from a “Mother of a family” who has been fitting out her children for the | summer: Will you kindly assist me lin barmorizing Mr. MeKinle’y Min- nexpolis speech with a paragraph in a recent number of the Sunday “Tri- burs” Mr. McKinley said: “We sta:.d for a protective tariff because itr: > resents the American home, the A::erican firesides, the American fam: and American girl, the Amer- ican boy ind the highest possibili- ties of American citizenship. The Dem cratic party belieyes in direct taxniion, tuat is, in taxing ourselves, but we do not believe in that princi, ple so long as we can find anybody else to tax.” In the “Home and So- ciety” department of the Sunday “Tr:bune” of May 29th, Tread: “An- other favorite material this year is Galztea, which is of the ‘ticking or- der of good, but is very light and serviceable. It comes in all colors fand can be easily jaundered.

Now I would like to have you }explain to me how itis that the tax of 33 cents a yard on this English cloth which 1 buy for my children comes out of the foreigners pocket? The “Post” gives it up. Boss Quay’s Bets Catied. Mewphis, Tenn., June 28.—A. W. Billings of Chicago, who owns all of the street railway lines in Memphis, has offered to wager $20,000 that Cleveland will be elected and that ae will carry New York, Iliimois aud Wisconsin by large pluralities. Mr Billing had beard that Senator Quay made the remark after hearing the result of the Chicago convention that he would wager $10,000 that Harrison would be reelected. He has telegraphed the Peunsylvanian to put up. Major William Warner made a trip to Washington City, on the heels of his being nominated for governor. He saw and talked to the president and the national com- mitteemen. He came home, and the next thing we hear Leverett Leon- ardis nominated for governor by the people’s party. What next, well, Mr. Leonard says: “As a matter of course it (alliance state ticket) will be detrimental to the democratic party, as four-fifths of the people's party is composed of democrats and they will vote the ticket this fall. I am aware that this will give Major Warner, the republican nominee, more than a fighting show, as our vote will reduce the democratic majority sufficiently to make a neck- ard-neck race with the democratic nominee.” If this does not look likea bargain and sale for filthy lucre, please give vote the} I am aware that | jing show, as our vote will reduce the) |democratic majority sufficiently to j He virtually admits that aj} {tions merely of policy, expediency has never been stated with greater distinctness than in the leading par- |agraphs of the platform adonted dat Chicago: We solemnly declare that the eed of a return to these funda- mental principles of a_ free popular | government based on home rule and jindividual liberty was never more j urgent than now, when the tendency j to centralize ail power at the federal capital has become a menace to the} jreserved rights of the States that} | Strikes at the very roots of our gov- jern: ment under the constitution as | | framed by the fathers of the Repub | lic. | Sec. 2.

Two years ago the revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls; but in contempt of the verdict the republican party has defiantly declared in its latest authoritative utterance that its suc- cess in the cowing elections will mnmean the enactment of the force bill aud the usurpation of despotic contre] over elections in all the states.

Tue com pany will have in its employ up- stitution maintained in its integrity with the laws pursuant thereto which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled prosperity; and we pledge the democratic party, if it be entrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the force bill. Read this carefully. Read it over and over again until the mind hus mastered the principle behind the phraseology. Then you are in pos- session of a fundamental truth of democracy, aud you know wherefore the democratic party exists and why democrats are still democrats despite differences of opinion concerning mivor articles of opinion aud ques-| or party discipline. The makers of the platform did well to put at the very front fhe fun- | damental issue which binds together the party organization, north and south, east and west They did well to declare without qualification and without bringing in auy other question as an alleged factor in the result that to the determination of the united democracy to resist the federal aggression and to maintain the rights of the states and of the individual citizen was due to the overwhelming defeat of the republi- cans in the elections of two years ago, a democratic victory following democratic disaster in 1888, when the canvass turned up on a different wards of 24,000 meu. When the democrats ‘regained eon trol of iNiiaecur4 in 1870, they found , the state burdened with a debt of | $27,000,000, created by Republican | extravagance and dishonesty, and a tax rate of 50 cents on the $100 val- | uation. Since that time the democ | racy have reduced the debt to a lit- | tle over $7,000,000, and the rate of | taxation to 15 cents. In this year of our Lord, 1892, we are coufronted with the same old pariy, and a por- tion of the same old crowd who par- ticipated with Count Rodman and | his geng of plunierers in robbing | the ete and leaving the treasury | bankrupt. The recor of our Dem. ! ocratic state administrations is clean | and bonest, and thisis not a time | when democrats should waver in! their allegiance to the party.
