THE STATE TICKET.

The convention which met on We'd
nesday, at Jefferson City, has spiked the
guns OF those who thought to wave the
bloody shirt over Missouri democracy.
The nomination of John S. Phelps fol
governor was a master piece OF wisdom.
1t takes the wind out of the sails of all
who were only waiting for a chance to
identify democracy with what they are
pleased to call the 'srebel clement
With the names before it of a number of
able men ''who wore the gray" the con-
vention selected on the third ballot, for
governor, a man who ''wore the blue.n
1t is a blow, right between the eyes, to
that miserable lot of contentious sore
heads who have never been able to see
anything but a rebellious spirit in de-
mocracy. The name of John S. Phelps,
our candidate for governor, is a house
hold word in Missouri. He has been a
prominent man for more than thirty
years. For eighteen years he represen-
ted the Springfield district in
where his talent soon became recognized
and he was made chairman of the COM
mittee OF ways and means, which posi-
ton he held until the end of his term of
Office. in this position he displayed so
great a capacity for retrenchment and
SO great 4 desire for an economical dis
position of the public funds that he
acquired the soubriquet of the ssbull-doe
OF the treasury. At the outbreak of the
war ne espoused the cause of the Union,
and, since its close, has sought t. pour
healing balms on the wounds then made
between the sections. We are abun-
dainty satisfied with the selection.
The other work has also been done with
Judgment and discretion. The candi-
dates are all men of ability and large
experience.
For Lieutenant Governor they have
given US Fl. c. Brockmeyer, Of st. Louis.
A better selection could not have been
made. Mr.. Brockmeyer, though a Ger
man, was educated at Georgetown, Ken
lucky, and ranks among our very ablest
men. He will carry with him a yerv
large part of the German vote, and his
nomination by the neutrality-suspicious.
will exercise no little influence on his
countrymen in the presidential election
We give elsewhere the ticket in full,
and, with it, we feel every confidence
that our majority in the state will be
increased to fully fifty thousand. Well
done, say we, for the Jefferson City
convention. The delegates seem to
have been actuated by the purestmotives
and selected the ticket, throughout,
rather on account of the merit of the
men themselves than because of availa-
bility oron account of tavoriteism. Owing
to the late hour at which the full list of
m was received, we are unable to
say as much about the nominees as We
would desire. But they are, without
exception, men well and faverably known
throughoutth the state, and will 90 through
with a hurrah,' before the people.

sections of Texas causes a very serious
question among the farmers and ship.
pers, as there seems to be a want of a
market close enough to be paying. The
prices asked for corn, to be delivered at
the farm in October, is but twenty to
twenty-five cents per bushel, in any guam
tity, while oats on future delivery only
demand from eighteen to twenty cents.
Other grain, as wheat, barley, etc., is at
correspondingly low figures on account
of the immense yield.

The Joplin Democrat publishes state
ments and affidavits going to show that
the story about raising the rebel flag at
Oronogo, in Jasper county, on the 4th
OF July, is M of those radical lies hard
ly worth %retuting. The st. Louis Jour-
nal and its correspondent are placed in
the position of having put a matter on
record without a particle of truth for a
basis. Several persons make oath that
there was no rebel flag displayed and no
intention to raise one. Thus, one of he
vilest ofthe radical lies is nailed to the
floor. This same lie was republished
in the Register OF this city.

Chicago Tribunej.

A prudent young husband on Burn.
side place, whose loving wife had Inn
portuned him to take her to the Gen.
tennial, has convinced her that, In view
OF the depression that exists In all de-
partments of industry and trade, and
the expense such a visit would entail at
this time, when we should emulate the
simplicity OF our forefathers, she had
better forego the visit. Besides" he
added, 1T will be so crowded that you
will have no pleasure whatever In the
trip" But, George" she replied,
half regretfully, II should 80 like to
go and see a Centennial, just to say that
1 had seen one, you know" "Well,
never mind, my darling" he replied,
"don't fret, and when the next one
comes round I'll take you there, and
we'll spend a week; and we II take your
mother, too" 20, Georgel" she cried,
in a rain Of happy tears, "you are 30
kind. We won't go this year.
