Upto jdate thirteen counties in the state have selected delegates to the state convention and eleven of them have instructed for Stephens. Lyttleton Price, delegate from Idaho to the St. Louis conveation says a ticket nominated on the gold standard platform will not get 150 votes in Idaho. In other words, he says the republicans will never know they had a ticket in that state. Judge Gantt, of the supreme court, has officially notified his friends that he will not be a candi- date for governor at the coming election. No doubt the Judge would have received warm support had he permitted his name to go betore the convention. He is very popular throughout the state, and in this section no man stands in higher fa vor with the party. He gave good reason for not desiring to make the race, which we suppose fully satisfies his friends who were urging him to become a candidate. The Kansas City World has sud denly changed its views trom free silver to gold. Wonder if this has anything to do with the threat of the eastern money lender to close western mortgages in case silver prevails at Chicago. There is one reliable paper in Kansas City, the Times. It stands for the gold stand- ard now and the nominee of the Chicago convention. It believes in the majority. It is democratic at all times and under all circumstances. It is a tirst-class metropolitan paper. The State central committee, del- egates to the Chivago convention and the chairmen of the county cen- tral committees of the State, met in St. Louis last week. The Post-Dis- patch says the meeting resembled a state convention. The gathering was the result of an invitation ex- tended some timeago by state chair- man to meet the State central com- mittee in conference for the purpose of adopting a definite and practical scheme for a thorough re-organiza- tion of the party of the state. Thos. L. Harper, chairman of the central committee of this county responded to the call and was present at the gathering. Mr. Harper is one of the working democrats of this county, and his experience in poltical mat- ters, fits him for the important place he holds, and he will thoroughly; ‘that a solid silver delegation be sent 'to the Chicago convention, while it | was yet uncertain as to the result in | Missouri, has made him very strong ‘with the silver clement, and that lelement predominates overwhelm- ‘ingly in this county. | Besides our people know Lon Stephens as an honorable gentleman, a clean politician, possessed of good ability, a clear, level-headed business |man, who knows the needs of the state and understands her finances better than any other man in it. The business interests of Mis souri demand that such a man be placed at the head of affairs in ihe state and he will be, in spite of the fact that he is not a scheming poli tician, and lays no claims to that eloquence in the forensic arena which a great many imagine is essential in a hotly contested campaign. Lon Stephens is strong with the people, if not with the politicians, aud this seems to be one of the years in which that class is having a say in public affairs. Up to going to press with the Tiaes, there is no news of special import- ance from the big national republican convertion ip session in St. Louis. The convention was called to order promptly at 12:20 o'clock Tuesday by Chairman Carter, and a tempo- Tary organization was effected by the selection of C. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, as chairman. The pro- ceedings were opened with prayer by Rabbi Samuel Sale. The con- vention was in session just ninety minutes when adjournment was taken until the hour of noon Wed- nesday. The indications of the con- vention are that a nomination will not be made before to-day and pos- sibly not before to morrow or Satur- day. If changes unlooked for do not occur McKinley will receive the nomination. The platform will read for sound money, and possibly the word gold may be inserted. The city papers report the ftem- porary organization as cold as anu iceberg. There was no hurrah or shouting as is customary on such occasions, and the big men of the convention passed up the aisles and took their seats unnoticed. Even Mark Hanna, McKinley’s manager, and boss of the show, created no en- thusiasm when he made his appear- ance. A P. Hackett, in the Bates County Appeal, tells some plain truths re garding the conduct of the populist county convention: ‘The afternoon session was calied to order promptly, and the report of committees heard It was apparent some silent work had been going on when the com mittee on order of business changed the regular order of nominations, and placed the treasurer ahead of sheriff. The ‘powers that be’ may deny the accusation from now until doomsday, but they will never con- Vince any sane person that there was not some si.z@y woré in connee- tion with this matter.

Peyton A. Parks, Chairman. Mason Tarovrt, Secretary Clinton, Mo, June 11th, 1896 Wm. J. Stone is Silver’s Logical Can- didate, Says Senator Tillman. Lebanon, Ind., June 13 —Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina addressed the largest political gath- ering at Fairview Park this after- noon that ever assembled in Leba non. He arrived here last evening and hundreds of farmers of all parties have called on him to-day and com- mended the bold stand he’is making for bimetallism. Senator Tillman is of the opinion that Gov. Stone of Missouri is the logical democratic candidate for president. Indiana Democracy. Indianapolis, Ind., June 15.—The free silver leaders take it that the action of the Second District Con- gressioual Convention indicates what may be expected in every district in the State. Matthews’ candidates for dele gates to Chicago were elected with out opposition, and the resolution declared that these men must vote for x free silver pintform at Chicago, and must not vote for any man for President wko is not in accord with the independent coinage idea Hoods Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier and build- ing up medicine leads everything ever produced. It is positively the best. Others may make the same claim. But there’s this difference: We proveit. Not by an- tiquity, but by Merit. Not by what Wesay, but by what Hood’s Sarsa- a r parilla does. a It has @ rec- ord of Cures unequalled in medical history. It positively, perfectly and permanently | cures when ell other medicines fail. That the keen discrimination of the people recognizes its merit and the cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, is shown by the fact: that they buy Hood’s | Sarsapa- @ Tillainpret. | erence and to the ex- | clusicn of all others. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has a larger sale than | all cther blood purifiers. It wins cor- | fidence everywhere because the state- | ments in its advertising and testimonials | are verified by all who take it. No other | medicine has ever received such praise, o: 80 many voluntary testimonials of won | derfulcures. No cther medicine possesses parilla the peculiar combination, proportion and process use preparing Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla, and which give it merit peculiar to ; itself.
