Bro. sweets, as usual. will endeavor to carry the city of St. Louis for him, The evil influences in that city will be used against Mr. Folk, and it remains for the honest men in all parties to line up on the right side. The eyes of the whole worldis turned upon Missouri at this time. This is the first state thathas dared to make an issue of boodling, and the Democratic party has declar- ed in its platform and through its nominee for governor that !t does not expect or desire boodlers votes. That element has accepted the guage of battle and an alliance has been formed With the machine element of the Republican party. Will the honest, conscientious Republicans throughout the state be parties to such an “unholy alliance?” Two years ago the Republican committee of St. Louis formed an alliance of this nature with Butler to carry that city, but 16 was exposed and the state committee through its country members refused to sanction it, even going to the extent of turning down the city members of that committee who held out for such a deal and _re- placing them with clean men. Now the man, Mr, Niedringhaus, who advocated the Butler deal two years ago, is the most prominent man spoken of for the chairmanship of the Republican committee, It re- mains to be seen whether the Re- publican party of tne state willstand for this corrupt alliance at this time.

Colorado has spent one million dollars in maintaining the militia and suppressing the strikers. Stillthe strikers claim thestrike ts not settled. _ Mr. Folk owes his nomination for governor principally to the farming element and to the same people in a large degree he will owe his election. The leading Republicans are notso boastful now as they were. The only claim they make now is that they have an even chance with the Demo- crats in carrying New York. Democrats are wondering by what rights the Post-Dispatch assumes to question the attitude of Democratic candidates. That paper is fighting two of the nominees on the state ticket and demanding of the nominee for governor that he repudiate part of the ticket on the penalty of hav- ing the oppoeltion of the P.-D, When the campaign opens Mr. Folk will make his position upon all questions perfectly plain from the stump, until he enters the campaign, there 1s no reason why he should answer ques- tions fired at him by the opposition. Hill and Murphey have shaken hands and Murphey promises Mr. Parker the undivided support of Tammany, which insures New York for the Democratic ticket. Republican campaign literature is being sent ull over the land. The American Protective Tariff league bas been busy since the first of Jan- uary and are flooding the cout sty with tariff Ilterature. Se Mr. Walbridge, the Republican nominee for governor, was mayor of St. Louls when thecorruption in mu- nicipal affairs were at the zenith. No one claims that he is personally cor- rupt, but the fact remains that no effort was made toexposecorruption in the council or bring bribe givers and bribe takers to justice. He was contented to drift along with a deaf ear and blind eye to those matters and leave the city to the mercy of as corrupt 4 ring as was ever known in this country. It is claimed that Mr. Walbridge is a practical politician and all he wants is votes, no matter how they may be obtained. ——_—___——- Good Republican citizens of Mis- souri will feel more comtortable in the alleys than on the streets when they find they are lined up with the bribe-takers to elect a state ticket.— Nevada Post. With the nomination of H. C. Tim- mons for Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appearls, the Democratic party made a most excellent start and a wise euding of the state ticket. Folk for governor and Timmons for judge of the appeals court ought to be satisfactory to the entire party. De Wyckhoff, the Chicago lawyer who paid $5,000 for the hulk of the battleship Maine, says it will cost several hundred thousand dol- lars to raise it. He will build around it a gigantic tub of piles, then pump out ail the water, leaving the ship in this dry dock. The ship originally cost $5,000,000, and he expects to save the machinery, which cost $735,- 000; the Harveyized steel armor, 180 feet long and 12 inches thick, with a value of $500 a ton; steel bulkheads six inches thick, steel tur. rets equipped with 10 inch guns, and two other batteries, The Topeka Capital was forced last week to return to the city of Topeka, Kan., the sum of $3,052.14 which it had illegally collected-on city printing, says the LeRoy Re porter. What do you call that, boodling, or just plain stealing? The Republican convention at St. Joseph had to do considerable draft- ing {n order to fill out the ticket. Mc- Kinley, for Lieut. Governor and Hadley for Attorney General, were nominated over protests and posi- tive refusals to run. But it was not surprising when it was pretty gener- ally known that the whole ticket wae to be traded for governor. The presidential nominations have caused an immense revolution in New York newspapers. In the two last campaigns the Journal was the only large New York paper that support- ed Bryan. Now, all of them, except the Tribune, Press and Mall support Parker. Some of the papers which opposed Bryan, and are now friendly to Parker, are the Times, Sun, Her- ald, Staate Zeitung, World, Evening Post and the Brooklyn Eagle.
