Democratic Committee Meeting. A meeting of the Democratic} County Central Committee is hereby called for Tuesday, March 17th at 2 o'clock P. M. at the Court House in Butler, to fix dates for the ceunty convention to select delegates to the state convention to at Sedalia and also to select the time and man- ner of nominating candidates for county offices. It is important that every township be represented, and all members of the committee are earnestly requested to be presented either in person or by proxy. T. K. Liste, H. G. Wattox, Chairman.

It is given out that he will speak at Mo- berly, St. Joseph, Kansas City and possibly St. Louis. A proposition was made by Mr. Francis to divide time with Silver Dick Bland, but that gentleman politely refused. What's the matter with the cities, are they in doubt? If defeated in convention the sound money democrats will expect the free silverites to take their medi cine gracefully and fall into line If the free silver wing prove the strong- er then they will expect the sound money boys to walk up to the trough and take their corn. - This is fair, and that the majority should rule is democratic. If the sound money crowd do uot intend to abide the will of the majority in convention then they should not make a fight for delegates to the national conven tion. McKinley's misfortune is to get most of his backing from Republican strongholds or hopelessly Democrat- ic States, while the pivotal States, 8 | 3 j | ablest man to be nominated by the| | free silverites as the democratic can- | didate for Governor. This is a tip from inside sources, jand it is further stated that Gov. Stone,. R. P. Bland, Col. Sam Cook, State Treasurer L. V. Stephens and other radical silver leaders in Mis souri are in line to secure Gibson's nomination. Judge Gibson was a candidate before the state convention four years ago, and had it not been for the opposition of the Dalton forces he would have landed the guberna torial plum. Up to the time that Gibson espoused the silver cause he was the personal candidate of Ex Governor Francis for governor, and had the Francis-Maffit Carlisle sup port four years ago. Now he is bit- terly opposed by those men. Kansas City is entitled to the gu- bernatorial nomination this yeas and if the silverites can name the ticket Gibson will undoubtedly lead the ticket with Lieut. Gov. J. B. O'Meara of St. Louis for second place. MOB FIRED ON. Florida Whitecaps Given a Warm Reception.

Death Adds to the Complexity of the Kentucky Fight. Frankfort, Ky., March 9.—For the second time death has added to the complexity of a Senatorial con- test that has engrossed public inter- est in this State for two months and attracted wide attention throughout the country. The death of Senator’ Rosel Weissinger of Louisville to- | day removes, besides a distinguished | member of the Louisville bar, one / of the most active and energetic fig- | ures in the Senatorial fight—a man who had within the past few weeks | defeated Dr. Hunter,the Republican | nominee, and successfully bafiled | every attempt of the followers of | Senator Blackburn to secure the re | election of that leader.

The Northern Normal college at Stanberry, Mo., was destroyed by fire last week and 400 students will take an enforced vacation. The loss is $50,000, insurance $20,000. Wm. J.

St. Louis Post Dispatch is making a manful and dignified fight for the free coinage of silver, and of the metropolital dailies is abou the only champion for white metal in the state. Those Spanish students who are tearing up the United States flag and stoning the American legation, could do Spaina better service by shouldering a musket and marching on Cuba. A stampede of republicans to Carlisle in the Kentucky legislature Saturday came very near electing Blackburn. For a while it was thought Blackburn had carried off the prize and wildest excitement prevailed. John Sherman is working likes wheel horse to get up a fight with Spain. The sly old fox. while the democrats are away from home doing the fighting the republicans slip in and gobble up the presidency and other offices. The dispatches say the president bas slated the name of ex-congress- man Tarsney for consul general to Havana or Capetown. This does there is no doubt but that McKinley is far in the lead, but with the united opposition of other candidates he stands a mighty good show of run- ning against a barb wire fence before the goal of his ambition is reached. The Fund tor Criminal Costs. Jefferson City, Mo., March 10.— The last general assembly appro- priated $550,000 for the pay of crim- inal costs, $50,000 of which amount was for a deficiency carried over from 1894, but of the half million appropriated for the year 1895 96 {there remains to-day in the treasury of the state only $800. All the rest has been expended and a con- servative estimate is that there will be a deficiency of at least $250,000 for the next general assembly to meet. This will have to be carried by the sheriffs, circuit clerks, clerks of criminal courts and special judges in the state. They will have to wait for their fees until the next legisla- ture appropriates money for that purpose, which will be about April 1, 1897, nearly thirteen months off. There are now criminal cost bills in the office of state auditor James M. Seibert amounting to $16,554, and only the $800 balance mentioned in ihe fund. It invariably is the case that there is a deficiency in this fund, owing te the short-sightedness of the law makers in not setting aside eufficient meney for it. Can't Check Silver Movement. Washington, Mareh 6.—The FPast- ern candidates for the presidency are seriously disturbed over the new element of silver and protection, | which has so recently made a strong |showing among the manufacturers. |It has disturbed Reed, Quay and | Morton. As its strongest supporters boro County. the morning be was awakened by a pounding on his front door. Barely had he sprung from his bed and seized his rifle when the door gave way and 15 or 20 masked men ran into the room. Without waiting to ask any questions Sykes opened fire Four men, who had appeared to be the leaders, fell to the floor, and the others took to their heels. Sykes ran to the door and fired on the fugitives, wounding, six others. The four who were groaning on the floor were John H. and Alonzo Barnes, John Gilliland and Dennis Driggers. The Barnes brothers were wounded in the head and Driggers and Gilliland hed bullets through their lungs. Many letters have been sent to Sykes recently warning him to leave the neighborhood. He found a pic- ture of a coffin nailed on his front door, with this warning: “Leave or you will fill me.” He determined to stay and defend himself. It is said the neighbors have no specific charges against Sykes. The Nebraska Compromise. Omaha, Neb, March S--J. C. Smyth, claiming to be the chairman of the Democratic State central com- mittee, has transmitted to Euclid Martin, claiming to be chairman of the Democratic State central com mittee, the following letter: The Democratic State central com mittee, of which I have the honor to be chairman, has instructed me to invite your committee, through you, to submit to the Democratic voters of Nebraska, at a primary election, tbe question: “Shall the United States, without the aid or consent of any ether nation, restore the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 12” The committee also proposes that the decision of the voters shall be bind ing as an instruction on the dele- gates to the national cenvention and that the organizaticn against which the decision is rendered shall not send a contesting delegation to the Democratic national convention in Chicago.

DICK BLAND FOR PRESIDENT. That is the Desire of the Silver Demo- crats of Missourt. | Jefferson City, Mo., March 8—The | programme of the free silver leaders | of Missouri is to nominate ex Con- gressman Richard P. Bland for the Presidency at Chicago in July. | They claim that if the silver people | are in the ascendency in the national | convention, Bland is the logical cane | didate. Morrison, they say, is not | sound enongh on silver and is dis-| trusted. Boies would be acceptible, and so would Governor Matthews, but if a solid free silver delegation { goes to Chicago from Missouri and} the silver men capture the conven ticn, a big effort will be made to) make “Silver Dick” the standard | bearer of the national Democracy. | This much was dropped by one of | the leaders of the silverites in the} State here tc-day. It is said that if | this programme is carried out Gov- ernor Stone will be candidate for | Vest’s place in the Senate, Colonel | Lon V. Stephens will be a candidate | for Governor, and Judge Dorsey W. | Shackleford will try to goto Con-| gress from Bland’s district To the} outline, of the above programme | may be added the statement that if the free silver Democrats capture | the convention ai Sedalis, April 15, | no “administration” or “sound mcn-. ey” Democrat will be permitted to go as a delegate to the Chicago con- vention.

Telegrams and letters to friends |in Missouri from Senator Vest are in evidence, showing that the Sena- tor would like to have the indorse ment of the Democracy of the State for President. Not that he expects the nomina |tion. On the contrary, he does not | yet see how a free silver man can win this year, but he thinks he is equally entitled, with Mr. Bland and Gov. Stone, to national recognition. This is why Senator Vest’s person ality has suddenly become an issue This it is which has caused so many complimentary notices of the Senator in the St. Louis Repub lic and incited some opposition to him from extreme free silverites, who think that Bland, as the pioneer and leader, should have the right of way. Senator Vest has a strong follow- ing in all the silver States, and it would be greatly gratifying to secure an indorsement of his course from them on the money question. Such & suggestion, it appealed to him with great force, and now Bland and Stone must look to their national honors. The Senatortal Nomination. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. There are two good reasons why | the proposition that the state con- | vention nominate Senator Vest for re-election to the United States sen- | ate should receive the hearty sup- port of Missouri democrats. One reason is the beneficial effect the nomination will have on the, Senator | democratic campaign. Vest’s name will greatly strengtien the state ticket and his influence and work willinyigorate the canvass | | of the state. Instcad of concentrat ing their efforts on the legislative contests, friends will co-operate with the can- didates for the state offices and the combination should be worth many votes that might otherwise be lost to the democracy. But another reason is the encour- agement this action of the Missouri democrats will give to the general Senator Vest and his| policy of nominating senatorial can- | didates. tion by legislative caucus is undem ocratic and vicious. It creates opportunitibs for money bags and wire pullers and has filled the sen ate with ignorant millionaires and political tricksters who have no. ©“ in the senate , more claim to seats than a burglar has to the comforst of the home he has entered by the skillful use ofa jimmy.
