He fished gentleman, of pleasing address nf t but not o’erbold. He is free from the wiles and subti- fuges of the practiced politicians in evading pointed questions, but is tree and frank in stating his posi- tions and bis answers convinces one of his sincerity and carries convic- tion. In response to questions he said in substance: “l am a democrat, believe firmly in the princi- ples as promulgated by Mr. Jeffer- son the founder of our party and ex- emplified by the party in nation and state, and am proud of the manage- ment of Missouri affairs by the Dem- ocraticparty. | have notadvocated party claims in my public speeches up to this time for the simple reason that I have not made a political speech this year, have made only four, and they have been on special subjects selected for the occasions. | will be down in your county this fall to meet and talk to your people.

St. Louis Republic, 18th, Local political gossip yesterday was to the effect that*prominentsup- porters of both Folk and Reed had asked Walter Williams, of the Colum- bia (Mo.) Herald to become a eandi- date for Lieutenant Governor, each desiring that he be a runniug mate for the rival gubernatorial candi- dates. * | “Walter Williams was requested yesterday,” said a prominent poli-; tician to The Republie, “to enter the race for the Democratic nomination ; for Lieutenant Governor, I have it! straight that he may if he wishes run | either on a Folk or a Reed ticket. “Walter Williams is popular with | the country editors in the State, and it is thought could get their support for most anything he wants. Besides this, he has a wice acquaintance in the State. | don’t know what he willdo about the matter, but I do know that he has been importuned dates mentioned.” Mr. Williams was seen in regard to Whether by appointment or by Judge James B. Gantt, Harry B. Hawes, Secretary of State Sam B. . perform for good government in candidates for State offices, though none but Judge Gantt has positively announced his candidacy, were in consultation with friends. “No one can tell at this time,” said Judge-Gantt;“anything regarding the relative strength of the candi- dates for Governor, I have no idea what the extent of Mr. Folk’s sup- port will be; neither do I know how much strength Mr, Reed will have. Mr. Hawes has not yet announced his candidacy, and I will have to say the same regarding his support. “It is along time until the Demo. cratic Convention takes place, Many things panes can happen before then. I am looking after my own candidacy strictly and 7 friends are —— me very kindly over the State wherever I have spoken.” “Have you decided yet toannounce your candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor?” was ask- ed Mr. Hawes at the Planters. “I haven’t determined that as yet. The statement I gave The Republic not, I will find no fault with them, From a knowledge of the situation I believe | can carry & majority of the wards in St. Louis, if police interfer- ence at the polls is prevented, if not, and our rights are denied, our people will protect my interests, even to the point of contesting every ward in the city.’ Mr. Folk thus frankly discussed the situation wit hthe knowledge that he was talking to one not committed to his candidacy. He talked of the great work he had been permitted to prosecuting boodlers, with which our people are familiar through the metropolitan press. We were deeply impressed with his sincerity and honesty of purpose. We assured him that our people would accord him a warm welcome on his visit to our county. The people of Kansas City on Tues- day voted a bond proposition of $2,175,000 for publicimprovements. The purposes and amounts are as follows: Waterworks, $1,100,000; Parks, $500,000; City market, $250,- 000; City Hospital, $225,000; Im- proved fire equipment, $100,000, The bonds were carried by a vote of more than three to one. The people of that young giant metropolis of the west thereby showed their deter- mination to keep Kansas City to the front, by the same enterprise and pluck that has enabled them tomake that city what it is to-day.

Burlington Free Press and Times, In the death of Albert C. Spauld-} ing, Burlington loses one of her substantial business men and a man who probably had as wide an ac- quaintance and as many firm friends as any man in the city. Mr. Spauld-} ing died at 7:10 last evening afteran illness of several weeks, his first at-! tack being pneumonia, which later | developed into typhoid and from! which he was unable to rally. His condition during the illness has been varied, his rallying spells being fre- quent and bright enough to fill bie friends with hope and for the past few days, until a few hours before his death, there had been such a marked improvement in his condition that his recovery was regarded as proba- ble. His brother, Ernest J. Spauld- was in Europe but upon receiv- ing word that Mr. Spaulding was seriously ill, sailed for home on the first steamer and arrived in Burling- ton a few days ago. Mr. Spaulding was born in Jericho, June 10, 1850, and was therefore 53 years old. He was the oldest son of Cyrus M. and Abbie Gould Spauld- ing. During his early manhood he was employed in Massachusetts but later returned to Jericho and be- came a partner with his father in the wholesale produce business, which proved to be @ very successful ven- ture, Later the senior members of the firm retired and came to Burling- ton and Mr. Spaulding continued the business alone, While a resident of Jericho Mr. Spaulding was one of the substantial citizens of the town and secured and retained the good will and respect of all with whom hecame in contact, About 18 years ago Mr. Spaulding came to Burlington and became a partner in the firm of Van Sicklen, Seymour & Co., the firm name being changed to that of Spaulding, Kim- ball & Co. The business of this firm has been carried on most successfully throughout the State and is widely known asa wholesale house of honest and upright dealing. Mr. Spaulding early became identified with some of the leading business and financial in- stitutions of the city and at the time of his death was vice-president of the Baldwin Refrigerator Co.; treasurer of the Champlain Transportation Co ; president of the Consumers’ Ice Co. and director of the Howard Na- tional Bank. Aside from being prominent in business lines, Mr. Spaulding was well known in social circles, being a mem ber of the Alonquin and Ethan Allen clubs. It was in politics that Mr. Spaulding was especially known. Although urged to accept the nomi nation of every city office within the gift of the Republican party in Bur- lington, Mr. Spaulding constantly declined to accept, and put in all his efforts to secure the election of some one else who would accept. Mr. Spaulding is survived by a wife and one son, Frank, one sister, Mrs. H. E. Percival, and a brother, Ernest J. Spaulding. ' > , Lai (ttt ! Of disease is often the trail marked by a woman's gown.
