Senator Hill is not getting any consideration from the press on his speech in opposition to tariff bill and personal attacks on the president. The president has nominated Jno. E. Lynch for marshal of the eastern district of Missouri Mr. Lynch is chief of police at Moberly, and is said to bea good man for the place. The senate committee have report- ed unfavorable on the nomination of *C. H. J. Taylor, thé negro politician of Kansas, whom the president nomi- nated for record of deeds of the Dis- trict of Columbia. It is claimed the office belongs to home talent. In the Pollard-Breckinridge trial the jury returned a verdict of $15,- 000 against the Col. Motion was made for a new trial and if denied an appeal will be taken. The trial was a dirty one and for the good of the rising generation the evidence should have never been reproduced in the newspapers. caueus adopted unanimously the following resolution offered by Judge DeAr- mond: Resolved, As the sense of the cau- cus, that the committee on rules shall report to the house a rule or an amendment to the rules, by means of which members present and not voting may be taken into account the existence or non-existence of a quorum and to compel the attend-| ance of absent members. Rich Hill Review 11.—Judge De. Armond has been occuyping the right position on all questions that have come up before Congress since he became member of it and his re- nomination is a foregone cenclusion. The review might have added that he can be found at all times in his seat voting on every proposition the comes before the house. Dedr- mond never dodges a vote and the country is never in doubt as to how he = on all questions great or small. | FAIR PLAY. WM. M. DALTON.

It is an open secret that a plot is now being formed to encompass the defeat of Hon. David A. DeArmond, | while he is at his post of duty fight-| ing ably and efficiently for the rights his constituents. The plan of certain aspiring politi- cians is to have a candidate from each county jin the district, and to further hamper Judge DeArmond by having a candidate from his home county. Each candidate ex pects to be permitted to select his home delegation, and of course it will be anti-DeArmond. We warn the men now engaged in this disreputable scheme, that it will not succeed, and further, that it will be the political death of every mem- ber of the combine. The people of this district are for Judge DeArmond this time, not only because he boldly and fearlessly rep- resents their interests and demands, but, as has been said by the Bates County Democrat, he represents a principle which the people are bound to uphold, if true to themselves. Judge DeArmond is not giving himself any uneasiness about being returned to congress, but he is re- maining at his post of duty and is perfectly willing to trust his people to take care of his interests at home. of SAM’L- H. FISHER, Present incumbent of the county treasurer's office asks a renomina- tionand indorsement of his of- ficial record custodian of the people’s money. It has been the custom of the democratic party, in this state and county, when a public officer has been faithful to the charge committed to his keeping, diligent in the performance of his duty, and courteous in his demeanor, to again favor him. This is especial true of two year offices. This Mr. Fisher asks with the full assurance that he has discharged every obligation of the important position he holds with perfect satisfaction to the general community. He feels as though he is entitled by custom te one more term and in the selection of delegates to the county convention he asks the party to remember him. as THOS. L- HARPER. This week we announce the above samed gentleman as candidate for the office of county clerk. Mr. Harper has filled this position one term and the people are well acquain ed with his ability and superior qualifications for the important po- sition. Noman who has hereto- fore held the position went out of the office with a better record or performed the duties more satisfac- torily than Mr. Harper. He was at all times clever and accommodating and no one having business with him ever complained that he was not treated in a gentlemanly and court- eous manner. Mr. Harper asks your support in the township conventions and also in the county convention to follow. JOHN W. JAMISON, That genial,popular gentleman from would bearefully guarded and pro- tected. C. C. DUKE This geteman is too well known to the petle of Bates county to meed an imoduction at our hands. He las heldiany positions of hon- or and trust,nd in each one he has | so demeanedhimself as to endear him to the pe¢le. He is a christian gentleman, affale and courteous to all with whom » comes in contact. He is sober, indstrious and would fill creditably any office that might be entrusted to hi.

Mr. Duke sks the demo- crats of the eounty t nominate him for Recorder and prmises to lead the party into victory his fall. We can heartily recommenl Mr. Duke as a gentleman worthy the office he seeks -_ DR. JOHN W. UHOATE Who ably represented our people in the last General Assembly, will a:k the endorsement ofa second term the democrats of the county, and he well deserves it. A representative of another county, who, by the way was a recognized leader in the last House, writes to a friend in Butler that Dr. Choate made an able and conscientious repreten- tative and that Bates county might well be proud of him. His acquaint- ance has been increased, his knowl- edge of legislative procedure broad ened and he would be of much more sO. from | Geo Davis, Jos Graves, W. E. Fletch- value to his people in the next House tban he was inthe last. He comes from a section of the county which casts a larger democratic vote and gets few of the plums. Dr. Choate has the ability, the honesty and the industry and the people of Bates county could not do better than to send him back for a second term. This is the wrong year for dissen sions in the democratic ranks. The principles of the party should not be held to accountability because a few of its individual members who have been entrusted with high offices have deviated from the lines of de- marcation and insulted the plat- forms and wishes of the masses of the party. Stand solid democrats, and rid the ranks of traitors as fast as they show their heads. The extravagance of Congression- al funerals does not consist wholly in the time wasted in high flown panegyric. The funeral expenses of the late Senator Hearst, in addition to several thousands paid for print- ing the memorials, took over $22,000 from the public treasury. The prin- cipal items were for special trains and supplies for the appointed “mourners, carriage hire, hotel bills and silk sashes and gloves for the committee. The high times indulg- ed in on that memorble trans conti- nental trip are well known and need no comment. They merely suggest that Columbia's grief over the mis- doings of her Senatorial children should be tempered with joy that those expensive luxuries die but once.—K. C Times. Nothing Suits Him. Rich Hill, who is every,man’s friend and whose popularity is confined only by his acquaintance, has signi- fied a willingness to serve the public jin the capacity of county clerk, pro- vided it meets the approbation of the democratic county convention. Mr. Jamison’s business life has been de- voted principally to clerical work, which fits him in an eminent degree for the office he seeks. He is a gen- tlemen of the highest impulses, hon- orable and upright in all his dealing, clever\courteous andaccommodating. He is a strong democrat from prin- ciple, but has many friends members of other parties. He would make a strong man on the ticket anda model county clerk. David B. Hill has denounced President Cleveland, assailed the tariff priciples of the democratic party, condemned the income taxes and objected to free raw materials While there will be some surprise that a New York senator elected as a democrat took the floor to antago- nize everything in the policy and leadership of the party, it is a relief to be certain that Hill, Murphy and the other traitors are on the repub- lican side. Cleveland luck is com- ing back. Hill’s speech will restore Cleveland's hold upon multitudes of men. There will be a feeling thatthe president knew what he was doing during the 10 years’ battle with Hill and Hillism. Hill and Gorman may be the providertial means of bring- ing out democratic voters this fall. —Republic. > the convention. Summit—G W Walton, J W Bea, man and Josiah Cox.
