VENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING. Members of the Bates county democratic central committee are hereby notified that a meeting ot that committee will be held at the court house in Butler on Saturday, July 25th, 1896, at 10 o’clock a. m. for the purpose ot selecting a cam- paige committee and for the trans- action of such other business as may come before it. Candidates on the county democratic ticket are invited to meet with the committee. T. L Harper, Chairman W. F. LaFouierr, See’y. Illinois swings her forty eight votes into line for Bland. The trusts want high protection and the gold standard. Lon Stephens is a sure winner and Bates county will have the honor of materially assisting in that con- summation. There is one thing certain, the nominee of the Chicago convention for president will not be backed by the bond clippers and trusts. The parties who are now fighting Lon Stephens for governor are the ones who have been fighting Gov- ernor Stone, Senators Cockrell and Vest, Mr. Bland and all the other free silver leaders of the party for the past year. William P. St. John, president of the Mercantile National Bank, of New York, on account of his pro- nounced silver views, has been forced to resign his position as president of the bank. This goes to show to what extremes the gold men carry their prejudice. Then they talk of international agreement. What non- sense! The following counties have in- structed for Hon. Lon V. Stephens for governor: Reynolds, Miller, Cooper, Cole, Douglas, Iron, Lewis, Platte, Scott, Holt, Butler, Ozark, Mercer, Saline, Randolph, Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Maries, How- ard, Mississippi and Dunklin, and delegates elected by a number of counties are pledged to him. He is a sure winter. Fifteen hundred Bland rooters left St. Louis for Chicago Sunday night. A majority of the excursion- ists wore Bland suits, consisting of a ccat, vest and pants of white duck with the name of “Dick Bland” across the front. The Fritsch brass band and the Emerald Zouaves drum, fife and bugle corps, accom. | panied the Bland silver club, which Politics have run high weeb The bal! opened Tuesday at Chicago | end the first blood being by the free silver crowd in dows of Hill and the seating of Virginia, as jtemporary chairman of the conven- tion, was a victory for silver, which | | caused great satisfaction among the | in earnest, drawn the turning of Daniels. | foll owers of Bland in this city. It is said the republican leaders lare bleeding the trusts and manu-) |facturers to the tune of ten millions |of dollars to be used in the coming | campaign. Raising this enormous | sum is not done for legitimate pur-| | pores and it goes to show to what! desperate straits the republicans are | jin.

Of course these men that contribute to the campaign fund un-| derstand that they get back, in case | the party wins, two dollars for one. A Times man had the pleasure the | other day of meeting Col. John C.} brown, of Richmond, Mo, member of the state central committee and | candidate for the office of state audi tor. He was here in the interest of his candidacy and forming the ac quaintance of our people. The Colo- nel is anative of the state anda thorough democrat. He is one cf the leading business men of his home town, end his integrity and ability to serve the people in any capacity 1s not brought into ques tion. Col. Brown hails from a sec tion of the state that has not receiv- ed recognition onthe ticket for many years, but which has at all times been depended upon to roll up big majorities. This being true, the | Colonel certainly has every reason to expect‘ due consideration of his candidacy from the delegates who will shortly assemble at Jefferson City to make up the state ticket. In the voting this fall,friends of sil- ver should not overlook the democrat ic'nomince for representative of this county,Geo. B.Ellis Ths next legis- lature of this state will elect a United States senator and it is absolutely necessary that the friends of silver be on their guard and not allow the republicans to capture the legisla- ture. In such a contingency Filley would certainly be elected. Geo. B. Ellis, our candidate for representa- tive is a true blue silver man and will cast his vote for a silver senator, therefore, it is important that his canvass be looked after and his elec tion made sure. No voter, who is honestly for silver and who puts the cause above party politics, can afford to vote against Mr. Ellis. So in or- der to make sure of securing a silver senator, the Times would advise its populist friends who intend to sup- port Judge DeArmond, to also in- clude Geo. B. Ellis in the make up of their ticket. The same advice is also offered to the silver republicans. On the silver question we must stand together if we expect to win, and the mere fact of electing a pres- ident and losing the congress and the legislature will amount to noth- ing in securing silver. We must have the senate and house in line with the views of the president, then all is well | 2 ee An Eastern Silver Man. Boston, Mass, July 2—An even-| ing paper states that George Fred | Williams, delegate at large to the national democratic convention at Chicago, will favor the free coinage | of silver. Mr. Williams is quoted as saying: | “The time has come for a great | popular uprising, and I propose to be init In taking this step of su porting silver I realiza that I am | doomed politically in Massachusetts | and that I shall never be forgiven by | men who claim to be democrats.

Many prominent Republicans and well-known politicians throughout the country are deserting McKinley and the gold platform. Judge Cunningham R. Scott, of the District Court at Omaha, Ne-} braska, is out in a letter in which he| states that the Republican party } has gone back on its principles in adopting a gold platform, and that | he cannot support it.

The shock completely unnerved her and since then her mind has been a perfect blank She has undergone treatment at various places and is now under Dr. Stili’s care at Kirks When shown her baby a day or two ago she did not recognize it atall. It is to be hoped she can be cured. ville. Chased by a Man-of-War. Key West, Fla, July 6 —The steamer Three Friends passed here at 9am, pursued by the Spanish |warship Alfonso XII.
