Shows How Recklessly the Re- publican Organ Juggles With Election Fig- ures. | DISCREPANCY OF 1800 VOTES SETS TIRE COLD as can be done. ing to the figures of that paper, 4 Democratic loss since °96 of 2,562; the official figures show that the Democratic majority in Joplin in ’96 was 224, while in 1902 it was 95, a net Democratic loss of 129, or 2,523 less than the figures editorially given by the Globe-Democrat. Theshrink- age in the Democratic majority in Joplin was insignificant when we take into consideration that in '96 we had a presidential year and a fusion of Democrats and Populists on Elec- tors, while in 1902 we had a purely off year, with serious local troubles in Jasper county. Springfield, according to the Globe- Democrat, sustained a Democratic loss of 1,106. The official records show that Springfield went for Mr. Bryanin '96 by 18 plurality; in 1902 Instead of Democratic Lost of 17,780 in Twenty-eight | Judge Valliant lost the city by 143; ne | ora net Democratic logs of 125, in- Smaller Oties in ise, seeker ine, There is a Gain Sedalia, according to the Globe- of 204 Democrat, sustained a Democratic loss of 162.

De Soto is claimed to have sustain- ed a democratic loss of 129 The official figures show a democratic gain of 206, the republicans having carried the city in ‘96 by 198 and loat it in 2902 by 8. Brookfield, according to the Globe- Democrat, had a democratic loss of 249; there was a net democraticgain in that city of 20. In '96 it went republican by 65 and in 1002 by 45. Trenton, in the Globe-Democrat’s figures, shows a democratic loss of 454. The official figures show that the republican majority for "96 was 292, or a net democratic gain of 244 instead of a democratic loss of 454. Louisiana, according to the Globe- Democrat, sustained a democratic loss of 7; there was a democratic ‘|gain in Louisiana of 103, Bryan having lost it by 41 votes in 96 and Valliant having carried it in 1902 by 62, Mexico, which is claimed by the Globe-Democrat to have sustained a democratic loss of 7“9, gave Mr. Bryan a plurality of 764 and Judge Valliant a plurality of 514. The democrats cast 1392 votes in that city in "96 and the republicans 628; in 1902 the republicans had 273 and the democrots 787; the democratic loss, therefore, was 40 per cent and the Republican loss more than 55 per cent. Marshal, in the Globe-Democrat’s figures, shows a democratic loss of 865, In 1896 Bryanhad a plurality of 763; in 1902 Judge Valliant’s plu- rality in that city was 603, or a net democratic loss of 160, or practical- ly 700 less than claimed by the Globe Democrat. Clinton shows, according to the Globe-Democrat, a democratic loss of 886. There was a net democratic gain in Clinton of 229, Bryan having carried it in 1896 by 22and Valliant {n 1902 by 251. Fulton, if the Globe-Democrat’s figures were correct, would show & democratic loas of 256. The official iigures, however, show that the dem- ocratic plurality of '96 was 138, while in 1902 Judge Valliant carried that city by 319, or a democratic gain of 181, Cape Girardeau, according to the The 28 cities selected by the Globe- Democrat to make this comparison and in which, according to Its figures there was a net democratic loss of 17,730, show, according to the offi- cial returns, a net democratic gain of 204, or error in the figures of that paper of nearly 18,090.

Infact, the democratic plu- rality in 1902, when the campaign was waged strictly on state issues, was the largest in the history of the state. Unknown Man Killed Near Here. Liberty, Mo., Oct. 3.—An unknown man was killed by the Burlington Eli two miles east of Kansas City to- night. He thought the train was on the Wabash track, which parallels the Burlington’s, and stopped over the latter. The body was brought here and waite the coroner.

Colorado Springs, Col., Resolutions were adopted by the Colorado Springs Federated Trades council calling on the citizens of the state, regardless of calling, to de mand the impeachment of Governor Peabody for sending the militia to Cripple Creek in a time of profound peace.

The resolutions also declared that the militia 1s com- posed of the most undesirable ele- ments in soclety—‘“youths of inex- perience and men of low character.” ElDorado Springs, Mo., Tourist.— Tickets on sale daily until Sept. 30th; return limit 30 days at one and one- third fare round trip. Bates County Investment C 0, ¢ ri, next highest in population to St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, was 17,780, and that but for the Demccratic majorities in the three cities named, Missouri would have gone Republican in 1902. Mr. Cook has prepared from the ofticial records a comparison of the vote of 1896 with that of 1902, which are the two years used by the Globe- Democrat. His statement follows: apis The election of 1896 does not give a fair basis for making comparison of the party vote in Missouri. year there was a fusion of Democrats and Populists on the electoral ticket ag ine # Be tothe Republican party supported Mr. Bryan. The vote of State offi- — ctals would be a fair comparison, but That | and practically all the forces opposed | Democrat, showed a Democratic loss of 67. Instead of a loss, the official figures show that the Democrats made a net gain of 362 in that city, the Republicans having carried it in ‘96 by 78 majority and lost it in 1902 by 284. Jefferson City shows almost as great an error in the Globe-Demo- crat’s figures. According to that | paper, the Democrats sustained a | loss at the State capital of 51. Bry- an lost Jefferson City in '96 by 150, and Valiant carried it in 1902 by 17, or a net Democratic gain of 267. Moberly, in the Globe-Democrat’s figures, shows a Democratic loss of 581; in 96 Mr. Bryan's plurality was 308; in 1902 Judge Valliant’s was 157—searcely the ordinary off-year Globe-Democrat, had a democratic} yiad to get ladies’ accounts, Call at loss of 401.

The official figures show that there wesa net democratic gain in that city of 112, the republi- cans having carried Warrensburg in 1896 by 32, and lost it in 1902 by 80. Maryville, in the Globe-Democrat’s figures, shows a democratic loss of 1,115.

The purpose of the Globe Demo- crat’s editorial was to create the im- pression that but for the fact that St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Jo- seph have Poliee and Election boards appointed by a Democratic Govern- or, Missouri would have gone Repub- lican, and that practically all of the cities in the State, which have not Election and Police boards appoint- ed by the Executive show heavy Democratic losses in the last cam- paign. This contention is ridiculous igs in view of the fact that the three big 3 cities named had the same partisan Police and Election boards in 1902 that they had in 1896, when all three of them went Republican. Asa matter of fact, obnoxious Re- publican local government in thecity ot St. Louis, known as the Ziegen- hein administration, brought about @ revulsion in public sentiment in that great metropolis, which resulted in wiping out the Republican major- ey ity of 15,000. As to the twenty-eight cities which have no police or election boards ar- pointed by the Governor, the official returns show strikingly different re- sults from that stated by the Globe- Democrat.

Boonville is shown by the Globe- Democrat to have sustained a demo- cratic loss of 474. As a matter of fact, the republicans cast 40 more votes in Boonville in 1896 than they did in 1902, while thedemocrats cast 12 more votes for Bryan, or a net democratic gain of 52. Poplar Bluff, in the Globe-Demo- crat’s figures, shows a democratic loss of 202. The republican gain in Poplar Bluff was 47, or 155 less than claimed by the Globe Democrat. Lexington, according to the Globe- Democrat, sustained a democratic loss of 462. The official figures on the contrary,a net demo- gain of 180, McKinley having SOLITARY INSTANCE, St. Charles, according to the Globe- Democrat, had a Democratic loss of 298. Asa matter of fact, the Repub- licans made a net gain in that city of 333, or forty-two more than the Globe claims. This is the solitary instance where that paper got any- where near the actual figures. Nevada, if the Globe-Democrat’s figures were correct, would show a Democratic loes of 1,876. This is more than the highest vote cast by all parties in that town at any elec- tion. The Democratic majority in 1896 was 654, in 1902 it was 332, or a Democratic loss of 322, which is 1,555 less than claimed by the Globe- Democrat, and this loss was wholly eratie due to local conditions. ied Lexington in 1896 by 76, Chillicothe, according to the Globe-| while Valliant carried it in 1902 by Democrat, shows a Democratic loas| 104, of 927.
