On and after For Vice-President, HENRY G. DAVIS, OF WEST VIRGINIA, the nature of a boomerang. But fs it luck? Rather is it not his own straight-forwardness and utter lack of guile? Has not the failure to harm him been brought about by the invulnerability of his honesty and simplicity ? Looking back over his rec- ord, reviewing events carefully, it would seem that his success has never been achieved by anything approach- ing subtlety or political shrewdnees, Trained politicians unite fa declar Ing him a tyro iri the game, and thoee by whom he has been surround- ed were novices like himself. Because of this ignorance of political rules and tricks, mistake after mistake was made, and each time the opposi- tion figured that irreparable injury had been done. The reason why mistakes had no power to effect the Folk movement was, and is, due to the superb faith that the people of Missouri have in Mr. Folk himeelf. They believe him to be absolutely and incorruptibly honest, Senator Stone and his crowd are not the sort to successfully shake this faith. Rather will they only discredit themselves the more, and hurry their exit from the stage of life, Another thing that will tend to in- crease the Folk ifajority is the well grounded belief that Mr. Walbridge, the Republican candidate for gov- ernor, has entered into an alliance with the Butler forces in St. Louis, and the “ring” in other parts of the state. The Republican party is also hava" icapped by the fact that it went on record as endorsing Folk in the be- ginning, when it seemed that he had no chance Of, winning. Now that he has won, and is the nominee of the Democratie party, Republican criti- cism of him is digeredited. There is thecase of the Globe-Democrat, tor instance. No paper in the state was more violently in favor of Mr. Folk until he got the nomination, and then commenced painful efforts on the part of the G -D. to back water, and “get in line’ as a Republican party organ. FRANK JAMES A REPUBLICAN, Frank James, at the reunion of Quantrell’s men at Independence last week, publicly announced his inten- tion of voting for Roosevelt and the whole Republican ticket, Two reas- ons are aseigned for Mr. James’ announcement. One is that Roose- velt’s methods better suits the ex- bandit’s ideas of how a popular government should be run; and the other is the action of a Missouri Democratic House refusing to make him its door keeper. It is said\tur- ther that Le has no use for Mr. Folk’s campaign. Either reason, or any other that Mr. James or hix friends might advance, would be per- fectly satisfactory to Missouri Demo- crates who have bad to rest under the odium of bis support for many years. It is said that Frank James once claimed that the Democratic partyin Missouri owes its continuance in power to him and his brother Jesse, who gave the state such a bad name that Enstern Republicans were afraid to settle here. We congratu- late our Republican brethren upon this acquisition to their ranks.It de notes the burial of their bloody-shirt iesues and their favorite slogan of “poor old Missouri” and ‘Robber State,” etc., should be heard no more in the land.

That would be a large sized fortnne to some worthy pecple of our ac quaintance. especially and emphatically for coro- ner—but he reiterates it. He goes further. He says he wants every man who is not @ boodler to vote the ticket, Democrats and Republi- cans, black and white—and he prob- ably would not go behind the returns to throw out the votes of any stray boodlers that might creep in. And when the election is over Coroner Allen will do his duty regardless of the boodle issue. In fact he would prefer to sit on the corpses of the boodlers if any preference were shown and would do the black and white Republicans full justice. He is not at all sensitive on this issue.” —_—_—_— Judge W. W. Graves, of Butler, has informed the editor of the Intel- ligencer through a common friend, of an error which occurred some time ago in these columns in giving an account of the proceedings of the Jefferson City convention. He says that he did not attend the conven- tion as a proxy and was not defeat- ed for delegate, having declined to bea candidate, The judge’s state- ment is, of course, accepted without the slightest question. The editor of the Intelligencer was not at the con- vention and he made up his account of it from the reports in the two Kansas City papers.

Washington, Aug. 19.—Mary Alex- ander Almorolia, a negreas, who died recently, leita will which cuts off wil her negro relatives and be- queaths the whole of her estate, valued at $75,000, to two young white men, Lewis Alexander, 27 years of age, and Joe Alexander, 24 years of age, whom she had adopted in their infancy and reared until they reached the age cf maturity. The woman was educated and be- came proficient as a linguist. She wrote, spoke and readily understood English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, and was an accom- plished musician. “She also had an uncommon amount of business sense, administering hor bhusband’s affairs with remarkable success and with h'm accumulating a fortune. In addition to the will, leaving all her property to the two boys, their foster mother left four typewritten pages, directing them to open a large trunk after her death and find there certain valuable papers, which would protect their rights and clear up the mystery that invests their lives, .

The Missonri State Fair at Sedalia closed Friday, and it is said, was z=] financial success, notwithstanding it was rained out Thursday and y : Friday, and good racing was spoiled on account ol the heavy track. The streets of Sedalia were crowded with people the last two days of the fair, unable to get to the grounds on a account of the rain. * § A number of Bates county Demo- | crata will attend the opening of the i? campaign at Springfield next Thurs- j day, September 1st. Reports from different portions of the state indl- cates that there will be a tre- mendous outpouring «f Democrats that will tax the capacity of that town to the limit. Mayor Neff, of Kansas City, says the labor organizations of that city are for the Democratic ticket and he thinks Joe Shannon has hipnotized or corrupted them. If Mr. Neff would carry his investigations far enough he would find the laboring classes all over the country for the Demo- j cratic ticket this time. The promises of the full dinner pail and full stom- achs four years ago were not fulfilled and the boys will pot. be caught ly such cheap talk this vear. State Senator Francis M.

RUST REPORTS September Wheat on Chicago Board of Trade Sells for Chicago, Ill, Aug. 20.— “Spring wheat ruined by the black rust” was again the cry yesterday in the spec- ulative wheat market, and the price mounted to meet the situation. After the previous immense rise, a further advance of 5 cents a bushel, which took place yesterday, gives some indication of the seriousness of the reports received, and the agita- tion of the struggling buyers on the board. May wheat got to within one- eighth of a cent of $1.15 and was only oue cent under that at the Wheat for September delivery sold as high as $1.10 closed at $1.09.
