1--WE noticed number of democratic
friends present at the Convention in Boon.
vllle--and we heard none of them com.
planning that they were mistreated, or that
they did not get enough to cat. The
Wings invited them there, and made il their
business to see that they were properly
attended to. 0TWas this the case al the

UNPARALLELED MEANNESS.

On Friday night, of the Convention at
Boonvlle, the banners were placed in the
Court House, and some time during the
night, some rascal made two missions with
knife, in the Howard Banner. From the
manner in which it was done, the rascal
was evidently in a hurry--or he would
have satisfied his fendish disposition by
doing it more damage. This is about as
little, low-lived trick as ever was per-
formed--and clearly shows what kind Of
opponents the Wings have 10 contend
against. There is q portion of the loco
foco party-and we believe and hope it is
small one--who would stop at no efforts
TO carry their point they will cut banners,
throw stones into q crowd-and were il
necessary, and they thought they could
escape detection, they would stick their
knives into human beings as quick as they
would into the representation cf one on
banner. The feelirg--the spirit is in them,
and fit leader and fit opportunity is oil
they want to let it ou.. If the name Of the
manor rather, thing-who did that deed
were known, and his course through life
scrutinized, we venture the assertion il
would be ascertaincd he has been guilty of
crimes that would put him in situation to
"do the State some service" or, if he has
not, and is permitted to live, he soon will
be. No man who would be guilty of such
a trick has right heart--and sooner or
later his innate rascalily will betray him.
The following reward is offered by the
Clay and Ashland Clubs of Cooper County,
for the detection of the scoundrel.
500 REWARD!
In obedience 10 joint resolution passed BY the
Clay and Ashland Clubs of Cooper County, the
undersigned offer the above reward for the appre-
hension of the person who cut and mutated the
Fayette Banner, in the Court house. in the city Of
Boonville, on the night of the Ilth inst, with
such proof as will fully convict said person of the
offence thus committed.

owe have heard it intimated that Sc

this section of country, will support Col.
Benton for the United States Senate, in
preference to any other democrat. These
gentlemen certainly have right to do as
they please in this matter-but had we to
act in their places, we should act different
ly. Col BIS able advocacy of the Texas
question, and the great amount of good he
has done the wings by maintaining his pc,
siton with such Roman firmness on this
subject, would not make US forget his long
and bitter denunciations of our party. A
few months service in our cause, and an of.

us forget years of abuse and misrcpresen-
tation. We say TO them look well-think

OHIO.--We have but few returns from
Ohio. Our friends in Cincinnati enter
tanned confident hopes from such returns
as had been received at that place, that the
wing candidate, Barley, had been chosen
Governor. A Locofoco Governor was
elected in this State, in 1912, by majority
over 5000. Mr.. Corwin was the defeated
wing candidate-and as far as heard from,
Barley has gained considerable on his vote
We think BARLEY is elected by small
majority. We entertain no doubts as to
the vote of this State for President.

following amusing anecdote :
A jolly young fellow, named Soubil!e,
made his appearance at the bar of the Cor

smile on his lips, expressive Of self content

sent was aslonished when it was found that
he was charged with beating his wife. The
following colloloquy ensued between the
presiden, and the prisoner
