Good point.—Miscourl Tele- graph. —_—_— Some have expressed surprise that the Democrats of the south are for Parker. The explanation is easy. Parker locked to them like the most likely candidate to beat the negro- equality champion with.—Dade Co. Advocate. When a private citizen, no one will object to Mr. Roosevelt’s negro eguality opinions. But the line is drawn when he prostitutes the great- est office in the gift of the American people by entertaining a negro at his table. Cyrus P. Walbridge, of St. Louis, has decided to accept the nomina- tion on the Republican ticket, if the convention at St. Joseph the 27th inst. will tender it to him. It is safe to say Mr. Walbridge belongs to the Jederal office crowd. By promptly endorsing the plat- form and without hesitation an- nouncing his intention to support the Democratic nominees for Presi- dent and Vice-President. Mr. Bryan ’ has demonstrated to the party that de is a stayer and @ loyal and true Democrat. fon The warfare between the two Re- publican factions in this state over the federal patronage Is getting very bitter and promises to split the party in twain. It’s a fight to the death between the ins and outs with the ehances greatly in favors of the ins at this time. The Democratic nominee, Judge Alton Brook Parker, is 53 years old, G feet high, weighs 180 pounds, ami- able disposition, brown eyes, large aquiline nose, wears a heavy mous ache, plain clothes, a lawyer and a native of New York, enjoys farming aud horssback riding. —Ex. oS se Se The New York Sun, like the Kan- sas City Star, can’t understand why po indications of the Folk presiden-| tial boom manifested themselves at ‘tte St. Louis convention. If the Sun and the Stars could only get down to polid earth onte the mystery wuld probably be explained.—Jop- ASM. We have made special effort to learn the views of prominent Democratic workers throughout the county on the national ticket and platform giv- en us by theSt. Louis convention and |find a dienosition toaccept the result i and support the ticket wich anenthu- | siasm which is very gratifying and presages good results for Democratic cause in November. The platform is not all that some| people desired but they recognized that when the party in different sec- tions is divided on great questions, that the policy of compromise must be accepted and @ common ground found on which all can agree, if the party is to be successful at the polls. Mr. Bryan made a magnificent fight for the views of the western Democrats and accepted the compromise. The reuniting of our great party after an estrangement of so many years, Was so much better than we had even dar- ed to hope, that when afew weeks ago certain defeat stared us In the fnce with a divided party, now we have more than an even chancefor victory. With a untted party we havea better chancefor national Democratic sue- vess than we have had since 1892 and our people are going into this fight with enthusiasm and a firm determin- ation to win, Mr. Cleveland was among the first of the nation’s big men to congratu- late Mr. Parker on his nomination and by so doing Mr. Cleveland virtu- ally announces that Mr. Parker will get his ald and support. Mr. Cleve- land may have lost some of his popu- larity in the West but he is still a power in the Democratic ranks in the Kast, and his endorsement of Mr. Parker in that section of thecountry will be worth thousands of votes. So with Mr. Cleveland and Mr, Bryan in hearty support of the ticket it is apparent that the Democrats will show a solid front in November and come under the wire a victorious party. Hearst's New York Americen says: “There was fighting at the St. Louis convention, pleuty of it, and every body had his say, every faction was given a hearing. And the conven tion having done its work itis the duty of good Democrats loyally to accept the platform and ticket and exert themselves for the election of Parker and Davis." Gen, James B. Weaver, who was a member of the Iowa delegation to the St. Louis convention, and who was twice nominated by the Green- backers and Populists for President, says he will stand by the flag and the Democracy, and that he will stump Iowa and other states for Parker and Davis. General Weaver will do to bet on in this great party conflict.—Clinton Democrat. The Nevada Mail considers that “the paramount issue in the coming campaign is men aud not measures. The money issue has, for a time at least, settled itself. The question nowto be determined, is between men, with Judge Parker on one side and Mr. Roosevelt on the other.” It is easy to see the Muil is right on that proposition Attorney General Knox is a self- sacrificing man. He gave up a $70,- 000 income as a lawyer to accept $8,000 asa Cabinet officer, and swap- ped that for a Senatorship at $5,000. But meantime he had got a $600,000 fee as an attorney for the steel trust. So he can still afford to take sugar {n his coffee.—Ex. Parker was swimming in the Hud- son when notified of his nomination. Roosevelt was refreshing himeelf with a bowl of soup when notified of his. Is this a precursor that henceforth Parker is to be in the swim and Roosevelt in the soup?—Ex. Now is Mr. Roosevelt’s opportu- | Louis, directly after the adjournment of the convention, Thos. Taggart of Indiana was indorsed as chairman of the National Committee, to succeed Senator Jones. But itis understood that this movement does not meet with the approval of Inde Perker’s New York managers, and tt is further said that Judge Parker willfavor the selection of Senator Gorman, of Mary- land for this position {f this distin- guished party leadercan be prevailed upon to accept the place. The telegram from Muscogee, I. T., citizens to Alton B. Parker was no doubt ratifying. Itstated: “Atan election held here to-day, July 12, the first in the United States after your nomination, Muscogee, claimed by the Republicans, went Democratic. This fs the first gun of thecampalgn, and is considered a fair test. The Indian Territory is on fire with un- conquerable Democratic zeal.” The State Superintendent of public schools will ina few days apportion $1,285,530 to the several countiesin the state for the support of the schools, and there will be an increase of about 3 cents to a child in the amount of money apportioned for schoo! purposes for the ensuing year. The amount per capita this year will be between $1 29 and $1 30, —-—_———_ First the Republican papers ridi- culed the Democrats for nominating Judge Parker, an unknown man for president. Now they claim he is owned by Wall street, and next they will have him at the head of ‘the Standard oil trust, the beef trustand all the other trusts and a deadly foe to labor. Watch and see if they don’t, Personally says Mr. Davis, the vice presidential nominee: ‘1 favor Senator Gorman very strongly for chairman of the National Democratic committee. His mother and my mother were sisters, you know, and that draws us very close to- gether.” The committee selected to notify Mr. Roosevelt of his nomination for President by the Chicago convention will perform that duty July 27th, The notification will take place at Oyster Bay, where the President is spending his summer vacation, The request of the relatives of the late Mr. Kruger, formerly president ofthe South African republic, who died a few days ago at Clarens, Swit- zerland, for the interment of his body beside the remains of his wife in the Transvaal, has been granted by the English government.

Jackson of the Medical Faculty of the University of Missouri has declined a flattering offer from one of the most prominent eastern universities and will return to Mis- souri next year. Dr. Jackson sprang into prominence a few years ago as the inventor of the sectional method of teaching anatomy. His plan was, inatead of picking the specimen to pieces, to solidify it and cut it into thin cross sections and study these instead. The method has since been adopted in the leading medical col- leges. ; Dr. Jackson is now in Europe where he has been for the past year as the University of Berlin. He will return to Missouri in time for the opening of the University, September 13th. The Russians Lost 1,000.

When the Temporary Presiding Officer Was Named a Great Cheer Went Up From the Delegates. Jefferson City, Mo., July 19.—It was shortly afternoon to-day when the Democratic state convention was called to order by the chairman of the state committee, W. A. Rothwell. “Two years ago,” said Mr, Roth- well, “you made me your state chair- man for that campaign. That honor was received with much trepidition on my part; Since then I have done all within my slender ability for the advancement of my party and the advancement of my people. Now I come to you and return the chatr- manship to you,” Mr. Rothwell called attention to thefact that although two years ago wasan “off” year, yet the Democracy rolled up 45,000 majority, He plead- ed for harmony now in order that the ticket would roll up 100,000 next fall. He then named the temporary officers. The mention of W. D. Van- diver’s name for temporary chair- man braught the Folk men to their feet with cheers that plainly showed itwas a Folkconvention, Thecheer- ing lasted several minutes and was full of ginger. After the election of Mr. Vandiver as temporary chairman, the conven- tion men, by a vote of 401 to 290, named tary secretary, JUDGE GRAVES TO PRESIDE, The Permanent Chairman For the Con- vention Agreed On. Jefferson City, July 19.—Judge W. W. Graves, of Butler, will be perma- nent chairman of the convention. This was .decided by the commlttee on permanent, organization this af- ternoon. Otherwise the temporary organization of the convention is to be made permanent. There had been some talk of Judge W. N. Evans for permanent chair- man, but after he was slated for chairman of the state committee Judge Evans said he did not wish to take any other honor. Judge Graves was entirely satis- factory to Mr. Folk. He is more than satisfactory, for Graves has been his very loyal friend throughout his canvass. Judge Graves was the judge who had charge of the “Ed” Butler trial at Fulton last winter. He also tried the Farris case in Jef- ferson City. Camp Bates. The camp of the State militia on the State asylum grounds at Nevada has been christened Camp Bates, in honor of Gen. John C. Bates, of St. Louis. Gen. Jackson and Capt. Evans of the regular army will assist Brig. Gen. Harvey Clark in reviewing the troops, and maneuvers will be made within a radius of elght miles of camp. Gen. Clark and staff occupy twenty tents, of course in a desirable loca- tion, but the whole camp is desirably situated and especial attention is being given to sanitary conditions, all refuse being burned daily in the regimental etreets. Crude petroleum is employed as the destroying agent. Maj A.C. Landon of Clinton has been made a field officer of the day, and Maj. E.R. Churchill of Nevada James Nolan for tempo-, out by the combful?

Y., July 18.—Judge Parker received a letter to-day from General Nelson A. Miles, Tho letter 1s In General Miles’ handwriting, and {s as follows: St. Louis, Mo., July 10, 1904.— Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y. DearSir: Safety for the good ship of state {s of the first importance. At a time when a material crisis is pend- ing, when democratic Institutions are in peril, when great evils should beeradicated, when tmportant polit {eal questions must be decided, it is fortunate that the Democratic party hasgiven to the country a candidate for President {in whom that great council. of representative men have every confidence, and we have the best of reasons for believing that the confidence will be confirmed by the intelligent, patriotic people of the country. We all do know that the instincts and training of the judge are to hold insacred regard the constitution and the faithful interpretation and execu tion of laws. Hence we believe that under your administration its law will be administered with fidelity and integrity. I believe you will be elect- ed and thereby have an opportunity of rendering our country a service of immeasurable value that will redound tothe honor of the Democratic party and the glory of the republic.

Lexington, Mo., July 18.—Ennis Simmons wasshot and perhaps fatal- G|ly wounded by Laren Menaugh this morning. The shooting occurred in arestaurant on Tenth street. Dif. ferent stories are told as to the cause of the trouble. Menaugh claime the shooting was accidental. He says they were en- gaged in a friendly scuffle and he did not know the revolver was loaded. Simmons was taken to the office of Doctors Tucker and Fredendall, where the wound was dressed. Simmons says the scuffle began in a half friendly way, but grew to be serious, and claims that Menaugh shot him infentionally. Menaugh was arrested and the case is being in- vestigated.
