Cass Ee Johnson “ St. Clair “ Cedar Gs Dade ee The committee requests the chair man of the various county central committees to take all necessary steps toward selecting delegates to the Congressional Convention ROBERT DAVIS Announces this week as candidate for Judge of the south district. Mr- Davis is a prominent farmer of Hudson township. He was born and raised in Bates county and no man can point toa single mean or dishonest act committed by him in his whole life. He 1s just and hon- orable in all his dealings, a courteous, clever gentleman and his popularity is bounded by his acquaintance. He is a man of good judgment, has made a decided success in his own business affairs and just such men should be chosen to look after the county's interests. He is a life long democ:at and his nomination would add strength to the ticket. The natives were greatly surprised Saturday to learn that P. H. Hol- comb had renounced his republican- ism and accepted the pop nomination for prosecuting attorney. When ealled on by the convention to state his position he stepped to the front, and without reserve placed both feet square on the pop platform and de- clared himself to be in full sympa- thy with the movement. While we are somewhat surprised at Mr. Hol- comb’s sudden change the Trwgs has not a word to say derogatory to his standing in this community as a lawyer and christian gentleman. We believe, however, he has erred in judgment in taking the step he has, and that he does not endorse all the isms of the populist party. Believ- ing as he does in a tariff for revenue and the unlimited coinage of silver, he could have come to the democrat- ic party with better grace. But, perhaps he thought the leap from The dispatches say the the storm which swept over Lake Michigan Friday was the most disastrous of recent years.

Washington May 21.—Represen- trust, to induce them to vote against the tariff bill. As Senator Peffer has secured for his son a good fat job in the trust it is quite likely his evi- dence would make good reading for pops if the truth was told. To Keneas belongs the doubtful honor of producing the first pro his former political views too far for one jump and for the present he would drop in “de middle ob de road.” The Congressional committee for the Sixth district met at the Court House in Clinton yesterday and is sued a call for a Congressional con- vention to nominate a candidate for Congress. Every county in the district was fully represented except Johnson. and the members of the committee from the several counties represent the Democracy as thor- oughly in earnest and united in the coming work of the campaign. From the members of the committee we learn that the people of the District will come up solid for Judge D. A. DeArmond for the renomination for Congress. Mr. DeArmond has made a splendid record as Congressman from this District, and it is a high compliment to see the people united in his support for a second tern — Clinton Democrat. Senatorial Convention. JOSEPH BARTON Of Osage tewnship, announces this week as candidate for Probate Judge. The Rich Hill Review, his home paper, has the following to say of his candidacy. ‘’Squire Joe Bar- ton, as he is popularly knewn, is one of the pioneers of Rich Hill and pete sonally one of the best men in Bates county or any other county in the state. He isa Southerner by birth, and during the unpleasantness be- tween the states (which. however, has dwindled down to such a trifle that it is hardly worth mentioning .|in these days of Coxey armies,) 0! .| course Joe Barton was on the losing . | side. .|times elected township judge, or Since then he has been three justice of the peace, as the law puts .|it, which should be ample attestation not only as to his ability but to his popularity, and in all his dealings he has always endeavored to mete out fair aud equal justice. For honor and democracy Judge Barton can- not he excelled, and should he be entrusted with the responsible duties of the office which he seeks at the hands of his party. viz: the probate judgeship of Bates county, the people can depend upon it that he will give the duties his undivided time and attention and that he will administer its affairs to the best of his honor and ability Senator Cockrell and Congress man DeArmond expressed them- selves as follows on the Missouri platform: Senator Cockrell said that the action of the convention was no sur prise to him. It was a cause for little comment and much condem- nation. The expression of the con- vention on financial questions was what he had always known to be the opinion of the Democracy of Mis- souri. It was a good convention, he said, and it fairly expressed the will of the sovereign people. Represenative DeArmond said: The platform is a good one. It will be generally satisfactory to the party in the Southern and Western states, It may be criticised in the North east, but even there it will meet the approval of the mass of the people. The nominees are well known men, thoroughly qualified for the offices. Taking it all together, the platform and the ticket will, I think, be in- dorsed at the polls in November in a manver which will prove entirely to the satisfaction of the party with the work of the convention.” The Verdict in Adyance. If the Missouri campaign is one of reen, the democratic ticket will be elected, because the republicuns can not find three men who stand as will before the people. If itis to be a campaign of measuses, victory is as sured because the platform satifies two thirds of the voters of the state. If Jno B. Henderson is a typical Mis- sourian, the tariff plank suits about the whole vote. Warner and Filley can get together as soon as they please and make the fight of opposi- tion on whatever lives they please. They are beaten.—St. Louis Repub- lic. KNOWLEDG Ata meeting of the senatorial tracted deadlock of the season. The republican congressional convention at Olathe seems to be having a hard time of it. Between Congressman Funston and ex-senator ‘Billy” Buchanan it is no wonder that the delegates are completely at sea. Be- tween two evils they are trying to choose the lesser. Which is it?

In many places the rivers committee for this district, held at Clinton, May 18th, it was decided to hold the nominating convention at Clinton, Thursday, July 17, 1894, at 2p. m. The ratio of representation was fixed for one delegate for eyery 500 and fraction of 250 on the last vote cast for Congressman DeArmond. This apportionment will give nine- teen delegates, as follows: Bates, 6; Henry, 7; St. Clair, 3; Cedar, 3.

Attend your township convention, democrats, and send to the county convention Monday a set of dele- gates that will look to the interest of the party. Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and traly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling oles headaches and fevers an rmanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

San Fracisco Examiner. The New York capitalists who are so disturbed at the prospect of a 2 per cent tax on that portion of their incomes in excess of $4,000 a year should look about them on their trips abroad. In England the in- come tax is about 40 per cent. In Italy the tax on incomes derived from invested property is 20 per cent. But it is in Germany that the rampant Populist financiers whom Wall street abhors, have achieved their deadliest work. In the Diet of the Grand Duchy of Baden, presi- dent of the minister of finance has introduced a bill providing for a progressive income tax, beginning with 5 per cent and increasing to 40 per cent on incomes of $50, a year and upward. At that rate 36 of the leading millionaires of New York city, whose combined incomes amount to $75,000,000 a year, would pay $30,000,000 in taxes. In other words those 36 ladies and gentle- men would pay as the Wilson bill proposes to levy on the entire wealth of the union. Shipping Wool to England. Casper, Wyo, May 21.—Saturday Senator Joel J. Hurt shipped three cars of woul to England. Senator Hurt is a pronounced free-trader and one of the largest wool growers in the State. This is the first direct wool shipment to Europe from this sectior, and a matter that is attract ing more local attention than any thing that has happened in the wool business for years. Senator Hurt says he will top the American mark et 2c per pound. If the Senator’s next season will be shipped direct to Europe. The l}c commission charg ed by the commission meu, when they are only getting 632 per pound for Wyoming wool, is looked upon as little less than robbery, and the wool raisers are looking for a market where they can get their wool han dled cheaper. Johnstown Again Floodea. Johnstown, Pa., May 20.—The heaviest rain storm since the big flood of 1889 ceased this morning, and early light disclosed flooded streets and all alleys and cellars full of water. Merchants here worked all night getting goods out of cellars. About $15,000 worth of timber be- longing to the Connemaugh Lumber company broke loose and was carried away, tearing two bridges away and causing great damage. Fifty feet of stone wall along the Connemaugh river was washed away, and crops in the vicinity were ruined, entailing a loss of thousands of dollars. Three more days for the candi- dates to visit friends and present their claims. The nominating con- vention meets Monday to cast the \die.

May 21.—Sen ator Hil! was in his seatto day. He stated in reply to a question that he had been at Albany during the greater part of his absence from Washington. When informed of the report which had been current about the capitol that he was pre- paring a new tariff bill, as a suusti- tute for the pending bill, he simply replied: ‘faven’t they enough tar- iff bills now? The criticisms seems to be general that there ara too miny.” He said ha might deliver another tariff speech later in the de | bate. CARMER. Stricken Down with Heart Disease.
