The Weexty Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address | one year, postage paid, for $1.00, Meeting of the Democratic Central Committee. Notice ‘s hereby given that there will be held a meeting of the Demo- sratic Central Committee at the ©ourt House in Butler on Saturday, Feb. 19, 1898, at 1 o’cloek p. m., for the purposs of fixing time and man- ner of choosing democratic nominees and place where convention shall be ealled; alao to transact such other proper business as may come before the Committee. Every member is arged to be present. Tuos. L. Harper, Chairman. W. F. LaFotrerr, Secretary The Lamar Democrat wants De- Armond for governor. He would make a good one, no doubt of that. He is also making a good congress- man and the sixth district is not yet veady or willing to give him up. He will again be nominated without op- position. S.W. Jurden of Cass county is Being boomed for the republican nomination for congress in the sixth district. The district has a demo- eratic majority of 3,000, and Mr. Jurden expects a rousing good de- feat inthe wind-up. This is Mr. DeArmonda’s district.—Republic. The next General Assembly of Missouri will elect a United States Senator. The term of office of the present senator, Frank M. Cock rell, expires in 1899, and his suc cessor must be ‘chosen. We believe the sentiment of this county among democrats is almost unanimous in fuvor of returning Cockrell. There are so many handsome things being said of Judge DeAr mond by our exchanges tbat we are anable to copy them all, but what- ever ig said cannot possibly make our people think any different than they now do of our talented and worthy congressman. He possesses the unbounded confidence of his sonstituents, who thiok him worthy of speaker of the house or president of the United States. Geo. D. Saxton, a brother of Mrs. McKinley, wife of the President, will have to pay to S. C. George $30,000 for alienating the affections of the latter's wife. Such is the de- eision of the supreme court just handed down. George alleges that Saxton became intimate with his wife and induced here to go west. She secured a divorce in Dakotah, and it is charged Saxton paid all expenses. Saxton is quite wealthy, swning a block of buildings in Canton, Ohio. In the face of the Dingley bill and the promised prosperity, the wages ef 125,000 operatives employed in the New England cotton mills have been reduced 10 per cent. The em ployees refused to accept the cut and a atrike is cn. The skilled labor in the mills were only making from #6 to $9 per week, and to take 10 per cent of this away left them somparatively nothing to support their families on. You remember McKinley said he would rather see the mills opened than the mints. It is evident Dingley and the adminis- tration is having a ran of hard luck in starting up prosperity. The editor of the Petersburg Ind.) News, a rampant republican organ, has become weary of pros- perity. He says in his last issue: “During each month of the year we furnish our readers with republican prosperity supplements—no more such supplements will be sent out with our paper. The supplements are a fraud,a delusion and a lie. We are ashamed of them, sick and sore | at the idea of sending out such!

The action of the Pertle Springs convention was but the expression of opinion as to what attitude the Chicago convention should take on the silver question, and was not and could not have been laid down as the law governing the party on ne- tional issues. It was called for the purpose of educating and influencing thought in that direction. It bad not the power to adopt a platform governing democrats and no one at the time claimed for it any such au- thority. It was simply showing the relative strength of silver forces in this state in order toinfluence other states. Any democrat had the right to still hold his own opinions on that question until it was finally settled. Suppose the party in Na tional convention at Chicugo had adopted a platform opposed te the 16 to 1 idea, does anyone pretend to maintain that all the silver demo- crats of Missouri who took part in, or endorsed the Pertle Springs cou vention, would have been outlawed. THOSE RECORDS. Our esteemed contemporary across the way threatens to publish the political records of those desiring the nominations for Circuit Judge and Senator. A record to be of ser- vice must be complete and not be garbled It starts with that of its candidate fcr State Senator and gives a mere smattering, assuming that the people know he is all right, and, possibly is, from that paper's stand point. It did not mention that it was openly charged in 1892 that he attempted to control the delegation of ths county against Hon. Wm. J. Stone, whose silver record was pronounced even at that date, and in favor of a man who afterwards sulked in his tent, if he did not vote against Wm. J. Bryan. We do not object to political records, we think they are proper subjects for newspaper discussions, but we shall insist upon them being pub- lished full, fair and complete. Qual ifications for the office and past party fealty are proper subjects under this head. Let us by all means have the records. FOR STATE SENATOR. We see that W. O. Jackson, of Butler, is mentioned as a candidate for Circuit Judge. He was a free silver man from the start and we have been informed that he was the only free silver lawyer in Butler for some months after the wave started. He is a man of bright intellect and haga fine sense of humor. Asa} lawyer he is the peer of apy man in the circuit. The above is taken from the El- Dorado Free Press, and while Tue Times can heartily endorse all the that paper is mistaken as to the of fice for which his friends are urging him. At the next session of the Missouri Legislature the statutes will have to be revised, and it will, therefore, be ot more than usual im portance and interest to the people of our pecple that the next senator from this district should be a man well versed in the law. The statutes are burdened with many useless and some very important cnes. And for this reason, Mr. Jackson, who is one of the best lawyers in the district, is| being urged to allow his rame used | for State Senator. He is an influen-} tial democrat, at present state com- [sacar elected by the Pertle Springs convention, jing and ability who would reflect | credit upon his constituents. swing in Naitionai year. What bas become of the} promised prosperity? good things said about Mr. Jackson, | of the state. It is set forth by many} some vicious laws and are lacking inj jmitteeman from this congressional | a man of learn-| affairs for one! | QUALIFICATIONS AND LOYALTY. We hold that the test of a mau’s ‘right to the nomination on the dem-| ocratic ticket is, first, his qualifica tions; second, his loyalty to the! | party. When a man has served bis) | party all his life, always accepting | uncomplaivingly the party platforms |and tenete, and seeking by every effort to advance its interests and | who has subordinated his own pri- | vate opinions to party success, is he} jnot entitled to recognition? Is it possible that the democratic party jis to exact of members that they are | to have no opinions on great public questions and party policies, or having them, they must be in accord with what the party adopts in Na- tional convention, else they are for- ever debarred from holding office. Will these righteous fellows who are now trying to make so much capital out of the silver question, please in- form us what penance is necessary for a democrat to make who happen- ed to hold views prior to the Chicago convention opposed to the majority, but who accepted the platform and supported the nominees, to reinstate himself in their good graces. Will they please inform us if it is to be the !aw henceforth of the demo cratic party, that ® man must be judged by his opinions before the party has spoken and not efter. If that were trua there would have to be mighty close trimmiog by every democrat who possessed a mind ca- pable of thiaking. for fear hoe would fall cu'side the breastworks As the result of the alliance of McKioley and Hanna with the off- scourings of the divea and dance halls cf Now O:leans, the republican vote in Louisiana fell from 92,000 to 2,800. But what does Mr. McKinley or Hanna or any of “us” care for the republican vote at the polls in Lou- isiane? It is the republican vote in the republican convention that is valuable enough to buy even at the high price of public morality and pulic honor.—New York World. It is a source of pride to the Sixth Missouri District that Congressman DeArmond has takea the leadership in the aggressive policy on the floor of the house and has electrified the country with his practical statesman- ship and patriotic courage.—Clinton Democrat. Those democrats in congress who want Judge DaArmond for speaker of the next house are wise. He is today, and has been for several years, the ablest membsar of con- gress from Missouri. Had he the faculty of Dockery for getting his pame in the papers every time he has two consecutive thoughts, he would have been the nominee for president ia 1896. But he is a very modest man; he avoids reporters and notoriety; he does not even mix with the crowd as much #8 he should. His real worth will be rec ogn‘zed in time, however.—Dunklin Co.

Committee but about 40 minutes to dispose of the ques tions of fixing a date and place for holding the next State Convention and providing for the number of delegates. Springfield was selected as the place, and Wednesday, August 10, the date. The basis of represen- tation was fixed at one delegate for each 500 votes cast for Bryan in 1896 and fraction of 250 and over. This giyes a total of 728 FUSION MOVEMENT There was a good deal of talk among the committeeme: and visit- ing politicians in regard to the ques‘ion of fusion with the populists. and from an outside source an effert was mace to haye it appear that the populists will demand cne place on the State ticke: as the only terms npon which a fusion cain be effected. The committee recognizing tbat it bas no power toact on this question, did not, it is said, discuss it. Itisa matter that can only be decided by the convention, and hence it was deemed best not to cross this bridge uatil it is reached. . There is a difference of opinion as to whether there ehou'd be a fusion on the State ticket, aud, judging from those whoattended yesterday's meeting, the sentiment is not favor- able to splitting up the State ticket with the populists, and it does not appear that any considerable number of populists are expecting as much.
