Geo.,P. Huckeby has been a resident of Bates county for about twenty years, a large part of which time he has been hanging on the fed- eral patronage teat as postmaster of Rich Hill. We believe he is the most ultra radieal we ever knew; in his estimation no good can possibly come out of the Democratic party and all Democrats are just a little bit better than horsethieves. He has abused and villitied Democrats and the Democratic party since he set foot on Bates county soil and now he is running over the county asking Democrats to vote for him. Do Democrats realize what that would mean? It not ouly meansa vote for their traducer, but a vote against the talented Stone, aud that grand old man whom our people all] love and delight to honor, Francis Marion Cockrell, For the State Senator is elected for four years. The Democratic party is charged by the Republicans with being the whiskey party. Our attention is called to the fact that ft was a Re- publican Congress in 1862 that past the national license law. President, Lincoln was prevailed on to sign it against bis will, to secure revenue to| continue the war.
