Walbridge that he will ac- cept, if itis tendered to him, republican nomination for governor commented upon without taking sole consideration of politics. Aside from democracy or republicanism, there is no man of intelligence in the | state who will not indorse the move- ment of which Mr. Walbridge’s an- nouncement is a manifestation. It means a revolt against slum domina- tion in one of the great parties. It isa breaking away from the Filley influence. The Filley influence is the solidarity of the ignorant, direct- ed and controlled by tke genius of the corrupt. games. It has it’s end in profit fo the boss and places for his servants. It represents the sale of nominations the levying of fixed tribute upon of- fice holders for the bosses susten ance. The declaration of Mayor Walbridge is a glove thrown down in behalf of better things in politics. It offers battle to Filley, who is in- carnate, scheming, conceit, inele- gance and venality. It is a move- ment of gentlemen against a force that is compact of vulgarity, ruflian- ism, bigotry and boodle. Filley is a slave-driver and a slave. He con- trols the niggers of St. Louis, and isthe only man who fraternizes with them in an intimacy so pro- nounced that their idiom colors his speech. In dealing with his Teu- tonic adherents Filley is a bulldozer. In all hia political methods he isa braggart and self-seeker. If he has, now and then, reputable men “on use them while they use him. a kind of self pollution on his part that speake the mental attitude o: the decayed Roman. the talent that is remarkable only as contrasted with the purposes for Mr. Filley has made politics hi busine: well, without any visible means of support.

Gen erally they exist more by virtue of the unsophistication of others than by tha overpowering ability of them- selves. The opposition to Filley recently formulated is the opposi tion of gentlemen to cads and of in- telligent purpose to the cunning of the ignorant. One may be execused for preferring the dominance in pol- itics of these with whom it is agree- able to the finer instincts to associate, toamanoraclique that has the taste of the nigger dive and the eth- ies of the primary slugger. It may be that the ignorant are entitled to the liberty of their ignorance with- out any restriction, by the intelligent, as some have maintained, but without some con- sideration of the better men and better things the drift of a commu- nity would be altogether toward savagery and moral anarchy. The practical politician has his use and place, but when he gives practically the supreme place to the dislodg ment of all higher things, he stands for the doctrine that ‘might is right.” Practical politics means license for the corrupt elements in our life and interference with the rights of peo- ple who have principles instead of itching palms. As a general propo- sition intelligent people must side with gentlemen as against Filley and his followers. That is why Mr. Walbridge enters the gubernatorial fight with the backing of all decent republicans and with such sympathy of all decent democrats as they may have short of rendering him the | support of their votes.” The Filley influence has it’s origin in dives and crap Men who ‘live by their wits’ are, as a rule, deserving the Elect Good ‘Men. | When the people select menbers He Pays His Attention to “Old De- of the Legislature the coming sum-| Deacon Bros. & Co. mer they ought to havea distinct) } understandin his election such a pass in this State, as well as Groceries and Farm Produce) that the lobby comes) As the soon as a man iselected to the Leg- re he is forwarded a railroad | of this state is an event that thay be| pass, and if he uses it, as most of} them do, he then places himself at | other States, very near shaping Legislation. islatu |the mercy of the lobby. the only way to avoid such a mi men in the start. and half of them put their foot in their usefulness is at an end. lobby pursues a man once in its power is a matter the public knows but little about.

C., Feb. 6 —The National Farmers’ Alliance and In- dustrial Union, which has been in session here three days, adjourned this afternoon. Important action was taken during the closing session. The “sub-Treasury plan,” to which the Alliance has been committed for a number of years, and the demand for an increase of the circulating medium to $50 per capita were elim inated from the platform. Resolu- tions were adopted opposing the refunding of the Pacific railroad debt and agreeing to meet next year at Dallas, Tex., if the ity will make suitable offers. A committee was appointed this morning to appear before the proper Congressional committees to complain of alleged outrages and murders on the Max- well land grant in New Mexico ard in Colorado, the Des Moines river grant in Iowa, and the Sierra Forest grant in California Allinnce mem- bers, who lived on these grants had complained to the national organiza- tion that they were illegally evicted in favor of corporations. and the Alliance now proposes to call the attention of Congress to these cases. 0 d y be Free Pills.
