Probate Judge Sheriff Circuit Clerk County Clerk Recorder Miss Ann Frey Treasurer W. A. Bales Voroner W. Ruble The republicans are taking a poll of their staength in the county. The mills and factories are start ing up and if you don’t tie your hat on you will lose it in the cyclone of prosperity that is sweeping over the eountry. Col. Stone, republican nominee for presiding judge of the county court of Jackson county, is an ex rebel, ex-democrat and member of the A. P. A. organization. It is safe to predict with this record he will never get there. The Union, under the management of W. O. Atkeson, is conducting the worst billingsgate campaign ever known in this county. It was thought that the former editor of that paper gould not be beat in vilifying and traducing all who stood out against the success of the union labor party. But Atkeson outherods Herod in his denunciation and vilification of the two old parties. He makes himself extremely disgusting to intelligent and thinking men, who desire argu- ment instead of abuse, and who will be guided by reason and not preju- dice at the next election. It is gratifying to learn that a number of democrats in Osage town- ship who strayed away from the fold are returning to their old love, the democratic party. By the vote of the populist senators on the tariff bill they find they have been deceived and no confidence can be placed in the party of promises. The populists were strong advocates of tariff reform, yet ut the very first opportunity when their votes would have placed sugar on the free list they sold out to the trust and planted their votes against free sugar. The senators for office lied to the people and betrayed their confidence. Itis to be hoped that more demecrats in this county who have strayed away will see the folly of their way and on election day will go into the booth and vote the straight demo- cratic ticket. Dr. J. W. Choat, Bates county's faithful representative and demo eratic nominee for re-election, was in the city the other day and gave the Truzs a pleasant call. He is still suffering from injuries received at Rich Hill, by being thrown from the train. He said he had been very busy for several weeks looking after hie farm and caring for crops raised and had paid but little attention to politics, but, he had matters in fair shape now to leave home and frem this on he expected to make as good a canvass of the county as lay in his power. The doctor can get over a heap of ground in a short time when he makes up his mind to go,and the republicans and populiet better clear the track when he turns his gattling gun loose. {schedule time. At least a discussion | there ix unusual activity in the wool- jof the political issues between twojen and cotton mills. The wool aud) |of the nominees, Judge DeArmond | (otton Reporter devotes a page every jand Mr. Lewis, with a side show, Mr. Francisco, who goes along to |ereate fun for the crowd by what he | terms “skinning the other candi- |dates.” Mr. Francisco made the | first speech and clos¢d in a 20 min- jutes talk. He told a number of | “funny” stories, illy suited to point }a moral, but more applicable toa He jcoarse und vulgar allusions to his {two honorable opponents. He said he had a right to‘“whip his own | Jackass,” in his reference to Judge DeArmond at Rich Hill, and applied the term “skunk” to his opponents. Mr. Francisco is a fluent talker, has a@ good voice, and it is a surprise among his friends that he chooses to make an exhibition of himself in stead of discussing the political issues before the people ina sensible and gentlemanly manner. Mr. Lewis followed in a very creditable speech,devoting his whole time to a logicai discussion of tariff issues, from the republican stand point, and his party friends had no cause to be ashamed of his effort Juudge DeArmond made a states man’s speech, which he always does, able, forceful and logical. He pre- sented democratic nuts for his op ponents to crack,which weut straight home to the conviction of his hear- ers. of reason and education, and that is just whatthe people of this day want The discussion was held in the Opera House, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. It was a good natured audience and strict attention was given the speakers. | : é bar room discussion. He is conducting a campaign Dave Colyer has fallen under the ban of Atkeson’s displeasure and is thereby raised 100 per cent in the estimation of the best people of this county. Mr. Colyer, like the rest of us, may have his faults, but of them is not the cowardly, buckbiting, con- temptible one of slandering and vililying his opponents. He is a bold, courageous fighter, worthy any foeman’s steel, and always gives blow for blow in honorable warfare, and his record makes him proof against such onslaughts as is being made by the Union. Dave Colyer has made one of the best sheriffs the couuty ever had; is un honorable gentleman and has as many strong personal friends as any man in south west Missouri. The Tres has waited patiently for Atkeson to make one charge against him that would dis- qualify him for sheriff or cause him to forfeit the esteem and confidence of the best people of the county, and not one has been or can be made, but imstead that paper in- dulges in frivolous bickerings and viscious assaults on this popular official. But, go abead, At., your course is sure to make lots of votes —for the democratic ticket. McKinley says the sugar trust got allitasked for in framing the new tariff bill, as regards sugar. The Louisiana sugar planters give this statement the lie by becoming so dissatisfied with the passage of the bill that they have held a meeting and joined the republican party. Un- der the McKinley bill a single plan- ter in Louisiana was paid in bounty for raisiug cane, $468,900; another got $392,200; and several others received in bounties $200,000 each. The new tariff bill discontinued the bounty and because of this fact the planters are disgusted with demo- cratic legislation on sugar and have gone over to the republican party. So ifthe new tariff bill benefitted thesugar planters and trusts as charged by the republicans isn’t it strange that they have become dis- gruntled. —_—_—_—_——— In failing to commend the course of the Trves and its editor the Union pays us the very highest compliment it was possible for it to pay It our acts and policy should meet the ap- proval of Atkeson and his paper we would feel that we had been remiss in our duty to the democratic party and the best interests of the people of this county. made} “Bul which, week to a | prises,” tin of New however, mills shutting down Ente includes | There used to! be more iills shutting down than | r- starting up; but since the passage of | “the free trade Wilson bill,” which) was to “annihilate” the woolen in-| dustry,the record has beena remark- able one—better than for any two} weeks during the four years of Me-| Kinleyism.

Another, for making and worsted yarn, is to occupy a building 110 by 200 feet, which struc- ture alone is to cost $30,000. ‘*The} plans forthe new plant,” says the} Reporter, “have been ready for some time, but it said the construction of the mill depended upon the settle- ment of the tariff question.” [tis lo- cated at Philadelphia. Another cot-| ton mill, with 25,000 spindles, is to be built Gaffney, S. C., with a capital of $250,000. Another cotton mill, with $400,000 capital, is proposed for Bath, S.C. Two hundred thousand dollars have already been subscribed. The other new mills are for the manufac- ture of woolen, cotton, knit hosiery, and silk goods. Under the “Enlargements and Improvements” there are eighteen mentions. Under} the column ‘‘Starting Up and Shut- ting Down” twenty mills are men-| tioned as having started or about | to startup. One of these has been | closed since April last, another over a year, and a third for two years. All three are woolen mills. Only four are | mentioned as shutting down cotton, wool column another because of a death, and the last is running on short time on ac- count of low water. If this sort of | business goes on until November the result of election may not be so satis- factory to the Republicans as they have been anticipating. They must either manage to keep the mills clos- ed or to keep the backwoods voters from knowing that more wheels are turning than ever before. Can they stave off prosperity until after elec- tion?
