Curmton, Mo., Marcu 11, 1896. By virtue of the authority as €hairman cf the Democratic Con gressional Committee of the Sixth Congressional District, composed of the counties of Bates, Cass, Cedur, Dade, Henry, St. Clair and Johnson, { hereby call a meeting of said com mittee, to be held at the County Court Room in the Court House, at Clinton, Missouri, on Weduesday, the 25th day of March, 1896, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of con- sidering and fixing date and place for holding a convention to nomi nate a Democratic candidate for Congress in said district, and to de termine the ratio of representation im said convention and to transact such other business as may come before said Committee. _*Pryton A. Parks, Chairman. About thirteen inches of enow fell in New York Friday. William A. Shoemaker, senior eouneel for H. H. Holmes, the mur- derer, has been disbarred for one year for getting a woman to signa false affidavit. To stamp out the tramp nuisance in Wiseonsin a law has been passed to put all able-bodied men begging and all prisoners in jails to work on the reads. It is now estimated upon govern ment authority that Uncle Sam can place in the field on short notice nine million men. With such an army the powers of all Europe could not invade this country. The Kentucky legislature is on the war path. Last week the house members bounced one democrat from his seat, and the senate retali- ated by giving two éenators their walking papers. Armour & Co, have closed a two years’ contract with the British war office, whereby the firm will furnish all the canned and salt meats that will be consumed by the British army and navy for the next two years. The bacon will ba sent to every country in the world, wherever a contingent of the British army is stationed. This immense contract ought to raise the price of the American hog. re The Glebe Democrat says there will be no evasion or ambiguity in the financial plank in the republican platform this year. Since reading the platform adopted by the repub- licans in Ohio last week at their state eonyention we are inclined to think the Globe-Democrat is a little previ- ous in speaking for the party on this question. The indications now are the plank will not only be ambiguous. but delusive and evasive—a straddle. Osceola Democaat:—Johnson, Cass, Bates and Henry, and perhaps Dade, can enter the ring to fight for the congressional nomination, but} Osceola wants to be selected as the battle ground.

This has been a very exciting contest for United States senator from the be- ginning and no more threats, boasts and rumors of grave plottings was heard last week than had been all the time. To intimidate by a show of force has always been republican tactics in southern states. Formerly it was to surround voting precincts with armed federal officers to intimi- date the voter under a similar cloak to that which Bradley calls out his state militia to elect a republican U. S. senator. Any other southern state that might accidentally elect a republican govornor could look for similar dis graceful proceedings. Even grand old Missouri would not be exempt if her sturdy yeomanry should for get the history of that party's con trol of state affaire just after the war and again put the republicans in power. Our state capital would probably witness the scenes now being enacted at the capital of Frank- fort brought on by a cowardly and scheming republican governor. It must have been a ludicrous sight, the three candidates for the republican nomination for governor, on their knees to the A. P. A. Con vention at Kansas City Tuesday. It has been understood all along that the A. P. A. in Missouri was attach ed to the tail of the republican kite but when the Mayor of St. Louis and @ candidate for governor, cancels an important engagement in the interior of the state and hastens all the way to Kansas§City to bow down to this secret power it would appear to have become the kite itself. This secret organization is foreign to the princi ples upor. which our government is founded. The dark lantern tactics they pursue is enough to damn it before the American people, and it’s power will be felt the greatest in as sisting scheming republicans into office. re William F. Johnson, who is asking the democrats to nominate him for Treasurer of Bates county, was born in Johnson county, this state and moved to this county in 1878, and located in Elkhart vownship. He served as assessor of that township four years with the best of satisfac- tion He has made his home at Rich Hill for a number of years and the high esteem in which he is held by the people of that township is wit nessed by the fact that they elected him township collector three times and he is now serving as Trustee and Treasurer. It is conceded that he is one of the most popular men in the township, and well deserves his popularity He is well qualified to perform the duties of Treasurer and if nominated, would be elected | and serve the people faithfully and conscientiously. Capt. Thomas Phelan, of Kansas City, has challenged congressman Linton, of Michigan, to fight a duel. The treuble between them was brought on by Mr. Linton opposing the appropriations for sectarian in- stitutions, and the placing of Mar- quette’s statue in Statuary Hall. It is pretty certain the duel will be fought with pons at long range in stead of broad swords. MODEL CLOTHING COMPANY.
