Of course this threat is merely made to frighten the Democrats away from St. Louis, but it will not work. If there was rotteness and fraud there the people want toknow it. The election in Bates, Cass and Henry was fair and nobody will object to theclosest scru- tiny of the poll books and the ballots. —Osceola Democrat.
