The wild and tumultuous applause which greeted every reference to the name of William Jennings Bryan, shows him to be the idol of Missouri’s splendid Democrats, and there is little doubt where the vote of this state will go in the next National Democraticcon- the place she {s clearly entitled to it, under such an arrangement. It is true that Bates county hasn’t had the Senator since the district was changed by taking Case off and add- ing St. Clair and Cedar, and on that theory Bates county might urge her claims this time. The reports indicate that the mob was composed of drunken men and boys, irresponsible hoodlums, with- out a leader or -organization, anda few brave, firm officers could have dispersed the crowd, saved the lives of the prisoners and the city the shame and disgrace attached there- to.

All thistime the sheriff and a half dozen deputies were standing on the inside of the jall pleading with the mob to desist. Nota shot was fired in defense of law, and the only excuse offered by the sheriff was that he didn’t want to kill any of the neighbor boys.
