founded. The facts here set forth cannot be
conlroverted. aud if any one will take The pains
TO inquire at the banks al Washington, they can
be informed that Blair and Rives were drawn
upon by Lynde Elliott, of the Missouri Stand
ard, for certain amount Of cash, and that the
draft was endorsed by Mr.. M. Blair the Tyler
office holding SON Of Mr.. f. P. Blair, of Wash
ington. The draft was cashed by the Bank OF
Missouri and The money was used TO put the
STANDARD in motion. The paper, however. has
almost no circulation, and is intended main
" for effect abroad, aud to distribute among the
Benton clique of this State for graiuilous circu-
lntion
BY The by, it is high time that Mr.. Tyler
should give the Globes SON here gentle hint,
that his office of District Attorney might safely
and properly be handed over TO some friend OF
his own.
Some have supposed that il Mr.. Montgomery
Blair were removed, il would be looked upon as
an act of hostility on the part of the President
towards the Globe, and possibly be construed
as an offensive movement against Mr.. Van Blu
ren's friends. But why should the President
longer retain men in office who are constantly
throwing every species of odum upon hinself
and his Administration, and striving in every
possible manner to break them down2 II is
worse than suicide to give influence to those
who are your constant and bitter revilers.
1t is true, Mr.. Blair canot do much good or
harm TO any party-but the President owes it
TO his friends as well as himself, to cast such
men from his Administration, and give their
places to energetic and worthy advocates Of his
Republican principles and mea ures. There
are plenty of good and true Van Buren, men
here who would rejoice to see this change take
place, and captain Blair" of the "Montgome-
ry Guards" left to stand on his opn bottom.
w i'll you see 10 this, Mr.. Ed.tor2
This same gentleman visited the Legislature
at Jeer City, last winter, to obtain aid Of its
members Tor the establishment of the 'sStan-
dard," which he intendt to have put in motion
in March; but, failing in this alt, mpt to buy
over the members, he decided to write " Pa" at
Washington, whom he had not seen for Two
long years, and request him 10 visit st. Louis,
that he might see for himself the great induce
nents to establish Standard of Democracy
here, and thus make g The success Of Mr.. Van
Buren, in 1914 the success Of Colonel Benton in
drawn-the press put in mo,io.-and the whole
work of riding rough-shod' over Col. Penn
and the liberal Democrats was supposed TO be
no sooner said than done. You have seen the
sequel!

Did not Benton and the Globe instisate the
movement as long ago as last fall and was not
the first open demonstration made on the 9th of
February last in the ST.. Louis Democratic As

More than TWO TO ONE of the hundred mem

shelf ere another year rolls around.
