The Globe- Democrat says Judge DeArmond is one of the leading and strongest men in congress. Pretty geod compliment from a republican aparece. But the Globe-Democrat is not so hide-bound that it cannot see merit in the opposition. The Times would like to see the name of William McKinley bead the Republican ticket and that of William R. Morrison the Democratic ticket. These two names stand for a principle and the democrats would willingly uccept aoch a guage of battle. The marriage of ex president Harrison to Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dimmick wiil be solemnized Easter Monday, April 6th, by the Rev. Dr. John Wesley Brown, of St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal church. The eexemony will take place in New York but the place has not yet been designated. The Globe Democrat says: “The contest for the republican nomina tion for the presidency is a friendly ene. The several gentlemen who are seeking the prize do not dispar- age one another and do not violate avy of the rules of courtesy and kindness.” It isto be hoped that the above is true that the public may escape the torture of another book of memoirs. SSeS It is announced that the Populist senators have gone into an agree- ment with the republicans to take up the house tariff bill again. There is no dependence to be put in a pop aliet office holder. He is one thing today and another to morrow. The trusts as they need them buy them ep. You remember how the sugar trast caught Peffer, by giving his family good paying positions just because they took a liking to the boys. —_—_—es The Republic sent the following query to the democratic editors of she state: “If a man goes into a convention is he in honor bound to support its nominees,” With only two or three exceptions the answers showed a unanimity that left no doubt as to how thecountry press stands on the bolting question. A man is so bound by all honorable obligations. A bolter can always find an excuse for his actions. The only hope of a party is that its mem- bers abide by the decisions of its conventions. An honorable man will mot go into a convention if his in- tentions are to oppose its nominees. ‘There are no Tilmanites in Missouri. The Kansas City Times’ troub!es areat an end. Thursday evening the paper was sold at public auction at the south door of the court house in Kansas City by Master in Chan- eery D. B. Holmes, pursuant to an order of the court, to satisfy the creditors and discharge its debts. It was bought in by Wiley O. Cox, president of the Kansas City State Bank, for $82,300 in cash. The Times is now in better shape than it has been ina long time, and under | the new management and being clear of debts and entanglements which have heretofore hampered the success of the paper, the Times! is destined to Hourish and keep pace with the greatest of metropolitan papers. Success to the new manag ment and long live the Times will be the wish of the people of the western part of the state. ‘| | WiLL CONTEST.

That is the right kind of talk and coming from those supposed to be in the minority, will have much to do with curbing the intemperate talk of some hot heads that the party must adopt a platform to con- form to their views, or they will not abide its decision. It is not only the priyilege but the duty of every democrat to take an active interest in framing the party platforms, and sustain their contentions with their best endeavors. After the party has spoken in convention, then contrary contentions become treasonable, and the democrat uttering them is a traitor. We trust that every demo- erat in the State will feel that he will not be driven out of the party on account of his financial views Maj. Wm. Warner bas changed his mind again. He now announces he will be arepublican gubernatorial eandidate. It is surmised his candi- dacy is to defeat A. P. A.

I am nota candidate, and hope my name will not be considered in that connec- tion. There are many strong and popular Democrats spoken of for the position, and in my opinion any of them could represent the party as well or better than myself. “T am willing to make any person- al sacrifice for the Democratic party, but I do not mean this as a sugges- tion that I desire to be appointed. I do not wish to be a delegate. “Your second question is ‘whether the reports published in some of the newspapers that Iam for compro- inising the silver question at Chica- go are true” “If any newspaper or individual has stated or intimated that I have at any time favored any adjustment or compromise which surrendered the free and unlimited coinage of Filley this year and almost any sacrifice will be made to accomplish the result. The democratic central committee of Vernon Co. in their indorsement of congressmen DeArmond in his controversy with U. S. Hall, might have gone farther with perfect pro- priety and endorsed his entire official record in congrese,as he has not be- trayed a trust in casting a vote dur- ing his entire service in Washing- ton. ${If the republicans have any repre- sentatives in congress from this state, they are never heard of with the exception of river improvement. Hubbard and anti free silver Burton. It’s the democratic congressmen we hear so much about in the pa- pers. Judge Burton’s manhood left him when the lash was applied, and he planted his vote against the silver resolution. So the people see now what they missed when they turned down honest Charlie Morgan.

Ihave always said, and say now, asa delegate to any conven- tion, or a member of any legislative body, or asa citizen, I would sup- port the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and if that ratio could not be had, then at any other possible ratio, the great and overwhelming question being real bimetallism—the making gold and silyer standard money of re- demption without discrimination against either metal. As the ratio of 16 to 1 is the old ratio, under which contracts were made for eo many years, and our people are ac customed to consider it a part of the free coinage system, not absolutely necessary to bimetallism. Free and unlimited coinage at any other ratio would secure bimetallism. “At one time I believed the state- ments of the monometallists that they were willing to accept bimetal lism if more silver should be put in to the coined dollar, and I reported from the Senate Finance Committee a bill fixing the ratio above sixteen, but I soon found that free coinage of silver and not the ratio was the real objection. Afterwards the silver men in Congress proposed free ccin- age at all the ratios from sixteen to twenty-four, and then the Bland- Allison act, but it was found impos- T have no doubt that a large majori- ty of the silver Democrats would be satisfied with a declaration in the national platform for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver as standard money of redemption, the ratio to be fixed by Congress, this declaration to be accompanied by another against the exercise of the veto power as to a measure passed by Congress and admitted to be constitutional. “I am afraid, however, that this would not be accepted by the advo- cates of a single gold standard, for past experience demonstrates that they are against the free coinage of silver at any ratio. “The conflict is between mono. metallism and bimetailism, and any adjustment which does not recog nize the free and unlimited coinage of silver as standard money of re- demption is impossibie. “While Iam unalterably in favor, | of bimetallism, I am not prepared to jleave the Democratic party because | I am beaten in the National Conven- |tion on that,issue.

The Lanky Austratian is the Champion of the World. Langtry, Texas, Feb. 21.—Peter Maher was kaocked out by Bob Fitz simmons to day in the first round, atter one mons played the same old game he has so often played before, leading on his opponeut until he had bim where he wanted him,and then land ed a lightning right hand swing on the jaw, and it was over. It was the identical blow that knocked out Jim Hall, in New Orleans. For the first part of the round Maher had the better of it He led often and forced the fighting In his eagerness to get at Fitsimmons he committed a palpable foul during a clinch, and was warned by Referee Siler that its repetition would cost him the fight. Maher fought well, but be was no match for his red headed cppovent, who proved him self today one of the craftiest men that ever stepped in the ring. Fitz simons is now, by Corbett’s action in presenting the championship to Maber, the champion of the world, ard after the fight was over he de- elared through Julian his willingness to defend the championship against any and all comers. Nervous People often wonder why their nerves are 80 weak; why they get tired so easily; why they start at every slight but sudden sound; why they do not sleep naturally; why they have frequent headaches, tndigestion and nervous . Dyspepsia The explanation is simple. It is found in that impure blood which is contin- ually feeding the nerves upon refuse instead of the elements of stremgth and vigor. In such condition opiate and nerve compounds simply deaden and donot cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the true remedy for all nervous troubles.

Fitzsim- | silver Republicans have carried on in and out of Congress, with a view of foreing their party to make concessions to silver at St. Louis, and he has reached the conclusion that this conspiracy will in part suc ceed. In the President’s opinion, the Republicans, fearing loss of the new States of the far West, and placing their main dependence upon the charms of high protection, will juggle with silver and substitute rhetoric for frankness. If they do this, Mr. Cleveland thinks they will leave an opening for the Democratic party, an opportunity which, grasp- ed with courage and boldness by the Convention at Chicago in July, will lead to success at the polls in No- vember. ‘ This is the idea upon which the Administration pian of campaign is arranged. Mr. Cleveland himself, | with the boldness for which he is noted, has sugges‘e! it. Moreover he has inspiredsome of his followers with confidence. He has roused in their minds the hope that. after all, ithe Democratic party may retain power. slightest sign of Republican waver- ing on the financial question may prove fatal to that party if met in the proper manner by the Democ racy. that on such an issue, the Republi cans dallyiog with silver and the Democrats standing squarely for the gold standard, many of the States of the North heretofore looked upon as reliably Republican will cast their votes for the Democratic nominee.
