A Card.

Allow me to say to my friends, through your
columns, that thanking them for their earnest
and cordial support, 1 take this method of in
forming them of my withdrawal from the state
senatorial contest. and in SO doing desire to say
that had been aware that Ex-Governor James
Young would be IL candidate for the position of
state senator, l would not have been q candidate
at any time, and now withdraw from the race
in his favor. l urge my friends to support Gov
ernor Young for said position, for the reason
that he is an Old-tine democrat, of ripe expert
ence, untiinching honesty, with great frmness
and decision OF character, and a practical re-
former and economist; and rs this will be the
last Office and honor he will ever ask at the
hands of the gallant democracy, I feel that
they will generously accord it to this old battle
scared veteran who has SO long, earnestly and
faithfully battled Tor their rights and principles,
and in hOnoring him honor the party and them
selves. Governor Young is, l understand, at
his old home IN Tennessee, but will be here in
time to see his friends. Adding that he knows
nothing Of this card, l have the honor to sub
scribe myself a high private in the front ranks
of democracy, fully armed and am really to do
battle for Tilden and Hendricks, and the prin-
ciples of eternal justice (pure democracy on
any field assigned to me. A. J. HALL.

FOR GOVERNOR.

tFrom the Kansas City Evening Mail, July e.
1t is to be regretted that the county executive
committee did not OF could not devise some
means for testing the sense of the people OF the
county as to their preferences fer state officers,
particularly governor, the position of the high
est dignity and Importance in the state. The
delegates to the state convention ale chosen by
the delegates to the county convention from each
representative district. The delegates who
choose these delegates will be selected in view
of the person they favor for congress, for state
senator, for representative, for collector, treas
urer, marshall, sheriff, and several other minor
offices. There will be no expression of the pee
pie, directly or Indirectly, in regard to state
offices, and the delegates to the state cen entlon
will represent either the delegates to the county
selves, but in no al authoritative sense the people
Of the county or OF the different representative
districts.

THE FARMERS AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP.

From the st. louis Journal of Agriculture. ]
The country is now producing annually Six
millions OF wealth. OF this amount agriculture
produces four millions. From these two facts
injustice or even immodesty assert a voice IN
making and administering our laws. In shap-
ing and in executing the laws which determine
rights and property and its modes OF transfer,
farmers have enthusiastically two thirds maJorlty::
Tins right. this power. they do mol exercise.
power to exercise it, they who hold the right
ana power are not entitled to pity if they suffer
abuses. He who. having fuel and match, Is
freezing, ought to freeze.
Farmers do not deserve to be pitied. il they
continue to be gulled by politicians and insist
on being gulled. Prior to this, there was some
excuse for the constant ignoring of the rights Of
farmers, in the fact that they We're isolated and
unable to act ill concert. But now the case is
changed; they are now aggregated anu organ
lied, and can speak and act IN n body; they can
demand to he respected; they can compel re-
spect. Will they do it?
Among the candidates for the governshlp of
Missouri, there is one gentleman who is an &C
tual, practical farmer-COl. M. v. L.. McClel-
land, OF Lafayette county, is the farmers can
didate.
In early life he was engaged in the mercantile
business and was signaily successful. His clear
and powerful intellect, large intelligence and
and gave him besides y familiar acquaintance
with the ramified and interviewer interests OF
commerce.: MOI man has q clearer conception OF
the material and mercantile resources and
necessities of Missouri.
Elected to the legislature in 1874, he at once
demonstrated his ability to grapple with public
questions. He soon took q foremost position as
u legislator. His keen perception, and his
plain, clear and logical arguments made him
the dreaded foe Of rings and schemers and mo-
nopolists, and gave him the confidence of the
house as q safe, wise and conscientious legisla-
tor.
No filter man for governor can be named. He
is u farmer and Patron. We can trust him. His
interests and symputhies are our interests and
sympathies., LIDO not dlsparage any of the other
candidates, but Col. McClelland is our man.
Let us elect him; let us attend our primary
meetings en- masse; there Is the place to strike
the effective blow. We can attend them ut NO
cost. Let us elect at the primary meetings as
delegates to the State Convention only those who
will duly consider our interests. BY control
ling the primaries We control everything; by
controlling the primaries We secure the nomfna-
ton of a man who, without being unjust to
other interests, Will be just to ours. We owe
this to ourselves. We have the power, and il
we do not exercise it, we shall deserve to be
despised and ought to despise ourselves.
1t is but justice to Col. McClelland to soy that
he is not u politician, nor is he Il candidate from
choice, but At the earnest solicitation OF his
many friends who appreciate his worth in that
position. CITIZEN.

Attention is called to the advertisement of
the grand excursion on the steamer Fanny
Lewis, which will be found elsewhere.
From six to eight hours will be spent at
Kansas City and Leavenworth, to give time
to the excursloulsts to go ashore and "do''
those cities, and every arrangement will be
made to make the trip as pleasant as posi-
BILE. Persons who contemplate going,
would confer a favor by giving notice OF the
TACT to some member of the band.
We hope the determination OF Mayor Marshall,
to discontinue the night police, may not result
in u revival of those crimes which it was estab-
lished to prevent. The fines collected from per-
sons arrested, are more than the policemen re-
ceive from the city to compensate them for their
services, and upon the score OF economy alone,
We think it would be advisable to continue the
night watch. rather than discontinue it, to say
nothing of the risk OF incendiary fires and bur-
glaries, such as were frequent before a special
watch was put on to prevent them.
10 say the least, we think it base ingrati-
tude for a paper to perslstently, knowingly
ana Wilfully misrepresent, Yilify and abuse
every democrat in the county, whilst re-
ceiving the support of and being sustained
by these same democrats. An examination
of the columns of the Register, of this city,
will show that at least four-fiiths of the adj
vertising patronage which it receives is from
these who act with and claim to be demo-
Gratis. The last issue OF that paper, filled up
as it Is with venom and falsehood, Is enough
to damn it even in a republican community.
MIR. John G9hner, marble worker of this
city, has just completed and placed in Mach
pslsh cemetery a splendid monument to the
memory of Jackson Longdon, lately de-
ceased. The monument is eleven feet high
with base three feet -four Inches square and

THE INSTRUCTIVE RAMBLE.

During the present centennial year it will be-
know as far us possible the many inventions and
useful improvements in manufacture, which
American skill has produced, and always anx-
lOus to see and learn whatever may benefit or
improve, l saunter in my leisure moments for
something new or useful. y few days since,
while passing up Main street, opposite court
house, my attention was attracted by a show
card ut the door of McCausland Il BedfOrd's, No.
-, reading: six Best Shirts for seven dollars
and fifty cents" Let me sec, thought l, how
much did my last Six cost me? l will take the
price ola shirt and multiply it by six:
3 yards Wamsutta cotton ut l5............$ 40
l ine linen bosom, 3 ply ................. 60
l pa il tine linen cuffs %
Cutting and making. 90
Total one shirt s. 30
SIX shirts .$l3 81
After making the above estimate, l concluded
to step i'll and see what kind Of shirts We're Of
fered ut 81 b each. 1 asked the clerk to please
show me some Ofthose shirts 4 for 81 so. He mvit-
ed me to the counter and ut once laid before me
box after box Of shirts made i'll the best manner
OF Wamsutta cotton, with the finest Irish linen
DO SONS of the most elegant and latest patterns.
At first l could not believe my eyes, or rather
thought the goods must have been stolen, to at
ford them at such u price. But as l raised one
from the box l found the side seams We're not
sewed up. Why, says l. how is this? Well,
my friend, replied the clerk, this is the great
secret OF our being able to produce the very best
shirts, usually costing from 81 50 to "a 90 each,
at only one dollar and fifty cents for one shirt,
or " 90 for Six, which is less than half cost at
any other establishment. These are ''keep's
Patent Partly Made Dress Shirts" You see
these shirts are all cut in large quantities by
measure, in sizes and exactly fitted. The bOs-
olms are put in, the neck band fitted and put on,
the shoulders sewed up, and cuffs made, SO
that all that ID left to be done is to sew up the
side seams, put in the sleeves, and the shirt is
completed. We are thus enabled to furnish the
very best material, do ali the cutting and what
ever requires skilled labor, and supply the shirts
ut the price you see. l saw that point; but as l
had previously made my figures. l could not see
now the shirts could be supplied at less than the
regular price for the material. remarked that
II would still cost more than they got. But You
must remember that these shirts are not made
by the single half dozen or dozen at a time, but
by many thousand dozens, and even engaged for
SIX months ut q time, when material Is low,
buying and selling only for cash. And we are
sstlshel with a small per centags of profit on
each sale. Being now fully convinced, l Sc
lected my half dozen shirts and went on my
way rejoicing, determined to spread the good
news among my friends and neighbors.
