FRGrND GREEN--The canvass goes Oh bravcly
in this county. Judge Bots is the democrats can-
didate for the Legislature but was selected on ac-
count Of his availability alone. He is good man,
and enjoys large popularity, personally, and it
was thought lie would be able TO unite iiie An ties
and Benton meh, by having a majority resolution IN
regard to voting for Senator, tackled to his tall
and by canvassing the county with a sticking plas.
Ter over his mouth Tie finds, however, that the
mum policy don't go down well with the soye-
reigns hereabous; and as the wings have an inteli-
CERT aud daurtlcss whig on the track, who is IA
milar with the principles and policy of our party,
and is, g7thul not afraid to state and advocate
them before the people, we have no fears for the
result
By-the-hye, that bright particular star Of de-
mocracv, Judge Rowland, has been in our county
for about week, ard III order 10 give aid and
comfort 10 Judc Eotts ii the canvass, undertook
to reply to Mr. scy, the Wing candidate for
Rcprcsen'at.v on several occasions In his first
speech he threw out Few of the hca"icst and most
insulting banters 10 the whics-daring them to
bring out their best man against him. and he
would soon show them how easy he could far
him.
lie Informed us he had been honored with seat
in the General Assembly Of Missouri. aud should
not therefore. condescend to reply to every squib
that might cross his path, (eyidenty referring TO
Easley,l but il the wings Touii place his equals
before him they would always find him ready and
willing and prepared for the conflict, and to up
hold and shield his party from all and every at
tack
On Yesterday Judge Rowland made asecoad AMI
--dymocrots themselves .oy-yery unius,iiiabe At
tac!, upon Easey, and if Easev did not flax him
10 his hearts couttut he is harder 10 satisfy than
the immortal Caib himself, or even the rcdoubta-
bic Gen. Clark. At al events, IN this township
to-day, his begging for quarter was almost ear
nest and ridiculous as his first pgesumptious
Dragging; and he Immediately left our county for
Charlton or parts unknown,
How will Charlton county relish Judge Row
land, who in his speeches in this county was dead
set against any further extension of tha credit of
the State for Railroad purposes until the roads now
| chartered and under way are completed, and then
| he would be governed by circumstances. This
| Judge Rowland is great peoples man, and by
way of showing this, gave us 10 understand that
/ he considered it piece Of objectionable gno-
rance 70 be asked how he would vote for L. States
Senator if elected and even refused to say how he
voted, when in III" Legislature four years ago in
the election for Senator, and seemed astouihci any
man should have the presumption to ask the
| questions.
Is Rowland the best Specimca the collective wis
dom of the democracy of Linn. Charlton and Ma
con could select as their standard bearer in Ibis
Senatorial District? WHY he Is even a .',l3lrer
corcl" han F!ournoy. One of his arguments how
ever, never shall forget. and that was both sub
stautially and vcrbalr as follows;
"The constitution Of Missouri cnjoins that in
ternal improvements shah be forever rostercd and
encouraged in the State. That constitution was
/ framed by Democrats; therefore the democracy Of
hs State is, aud always has been, in favor of in
tcrnal improvements"
/ Should any of our coleges be in want OF a pro-
/ fessor Of lying, Judge Rowland is their man. The
FIRST idea that occurred to me on hearing this lucid
and convincing argument was that the leaders Of
the democratic party in This State ought to be
forthwith arraigncd for treason, for SO srenuou,ly
| opposing the "Fc'crol Wigs when striving with
all their might as in 1913 to carry into practical ef-
feet the plain and positive iujunctons Of our con-
sttution.
Tho wings of this county are all alive. and viii
be found on the first Monday in August next at the
Polls, and will vote to a man for Iind'ey and Eas-
! ley; ard stake my reputation as prophet in the
prediction that Flounoys' majority in this his own
| cOuufy will not exceed Iacl.sOuS hy but 4 rsyy
