THAT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. The Republican Cousty Commit- tee held a meeting last Saturday to cbservations.” A committee was appointed to confer with the populist committee and _ report. Later some of the members of this address | sub committee, if not all of them, — |met by appointment W. O. Atkeson 'and James Drysdale. This confer- lence lasted from the afternoon until athe night. Now the ratural query is what there in common between two such pronounced mid- jle of the roadera as Atkeson and ; Drysdale and the representatives of | the republican party. It is reported that one of the republicans said “if we make the dicker we must have the ‘lion’s shars.” Tho aes BES oe Committee Meeting. | will the populists of Bates County Notice is hereby given that there! be traded off by Atkeson and Drys- = a ch vhom, we are corfiden- will be a meeting of the Demeratic| dale each of whom, we ss Judicial Committees of thie, the 29th | tially 1nformed, expect something Judicial circuit, at the law office of |“@dually as good.” We would also Walter E.

Clar next query is Governor Stephens and his adju- tant general, Mr. Bell, have well earned the gratitude of all Mis- sourians in the self-eacrificing and efficient work they have performed in preparing the National Guards of the state for reception into ths vol unteer army. Asa result of their combined labors Missouri's troops go to the front well organized and inspired with a coufidence in ther commanders —Appleton City Her- ald. It is now declared that tke first- clas3 battle ship Oregon has not arrived at Key West as reported but is far down on the cost of South America. If that is true she may not yet be out cf danger. But if the Spanish fleet intersepts her they will find they have stirred up a hor- net’s nest. ee Labor Commissioner Rozelle, Chairman of the People’s Party State Central Committee, has called a state convertion at St. Louis on July 7, 1898. It is emphatically denied by the state department at Washington that Italy or any other nation hes made a protest against the blockade | of Cuba If the sincere and conscientious reformers inthe populist party per- mit themselves to be carried into the gold bug republican camp by the earstwhile middle of-the roader, Atkeson, they are made of different metal than we supposed. Judge Dorsey W. Shackelford was renominated by the Fourteenth Judicial democratic convention held at Jefferson City. He has been an able and fearless judge and his unanimous nomination was a fitting endorsement of his course cn the bench. If Mr. Atkeson was sincere in his middle of-theroad doctrines, for which he bolted the populist state convention and of which he harped throughout the last campaign, how ean he now consistently advocate or agree toa fusion with the republi- sans in this county? If he does eaue tion it now he will lay himself open to the suspicion that he wasn’t “fixed” then and has made all proper arrangements now. Our government hes at last awak- ened to the absolute necessity to this government of compl-tiog sn4 owning the Nicaragua canal. Naval expertshave about conclud- ed that armored cruisers are the best all round war ships. Sixth Congressional Convention. The democratic congressional com- mittee has fixed the representation of each county at the Clinton con- vention ag followe: COUNTY. VOTE. Bates, Cass, Cedar, Dade, Henry, Johnson, St. Clair, Capt. Clark, of the war ship Ore- gan, very properly said to the stra- tegic war board, when given long instructions how to escape the ene- my: “Please don’t tangle me up with instructions, I am not afraid of the whole Spanish fleet.” Com- modore Dewey was not tavgled up with iustretions and the whole world acclaims. It is very evident that rear admirals Sampson and Schley have been badly tangled by instruc- tions from the very begining.

The present judge being from this place may work against Mr. Wheeler as some may think that Benton county has had her share for awhile. There is such a warm fight for the office that our man may get in as a compromise. He is worthy and competent and of course the demo- erats here will be all Wheeler men first and probably for Graves as second. Texas Lawyer is Shot, Collua, Tex, May 22—-W.
