CONSISTENT.

There is a newspaper man in this
,art of the State. He is tall He
IS handsome. He is what you might
call unice." His ideas about who
should hold Office are set forth in
bold round sentences at every cleo
ton. AS you read his articles for
the first time you are startled with
the correctness of his ideas. In fact
there are few such men as he pictures
in his articles. "Honest, practical,
active" &C., all combined in n
The reason we write this article
will be only limited at now. In the
future we shall dwell at greater Length
at the point we merely cite now, and
that is: That we have found just
such a man as he always harps on.
Just such a man as he always insists
should occupy the high offices of our
State and country. Marvellous to
tell this paragon of a judge does not
support this man for office. "Mar-
velous," did we say? No it is plain
to the iniciated. AS we said above
to the casual reader of his articles, it
would appear that his ideas of fitness
for office were perfect, but come now
and let us look over his articles to-
gether and look more closely at the
beautifully rhetorical sentences and
see the meaning couched SO secretly
in each clause, so redolent with egot-
ism, tile sentiment that each word
breathes and then you can e why
he refuses to support a man that Is
Just what he has so often portrayed
an office holder should be, and a
nan tfrnt is as far his superior in
ability, practicability, honesty and
principle as the Heavens is above the
earth. Take this soul stirring clause
for instance. 1--WE want q practical
man" and right under that line you
can trace in unmistakable characters.
"That means me-" Examine this
line. "We want a man of undoubt-
ed ability" And again, you can see
right beneath this sentence in letters
of fire, as it were, gentlemen, (and
fellow grangers it used to be, but
that is played out now,) that means
me-"
Now this is only Il key to the reas-
on why this mighty journalist does
not support a man whose ability,
honesty and faithfulness have beeI
proven in the past and found unim'
peachable. A few men can appreci.
ate no ones worth but their own and
as a general thing such men neeC
their own appropriations.
Some one-horse office seekers ar,
like the dog in the manager. Wher
they have no show for an office they
will do all in their power (Which il
often not much) to keep any one
else in the county from obtaining thu

TO THE MEXICO LEDGER.


First-Mr. Glascock was not a
resident OF Cuivre Township when
elected. lie had been Il resident of
Mexico, with his family, keeping
house there for many months before
he was nominated, and crediting him
to Cuivre Township was not least
among the ~ungenerOus tricks your
wIre-pullers have played on ms. Not
that We object to Glascock-I be-
lieve the Township is nearly unani-
nous for him. But We do believe in
crediting his nomination to the town
ship he lives in. BY the present
plan Mexico might fill all the offices
with Mexico men and credit them out
to the other townships.
Second-The editor of the Leader
assures mt that he did not misrcp-
resent the Mexico editor.
Third am truly glad that you
express Il Willingness TO support ca
pable candidates from other town
ships. 1t is a good new departure. ,
Fourth-Will you publish thi. /,

that if sh" desires to bury the hatch
ct and will give us our due 1--WE ask

half way. FAIR PLAY.
Harrison GlascOck, at the time OF
his election, was a citizen of Cuivre
Township and ven now he gets a
part of his bread and butter from his
farm in that township. Fair Play
need have no uneasincss about the
"capability' being the best at the
fall election. We are for the best
men in the county for the office, no
matter in what part of the county

ssFRAUDULENCY'' TO BE En-
POSED.


The sefect-eomMittee for the fraud
investigation was named Monday and
is conceded to be very strong. Mr..
Potter, the chairman, is abs ent in
New York and the committee will
no organize and get to work before
the end OF the week. The idea is to
conduct the investigation at Wishing
ton, although it may lie necessary to
send to Florida and Louisiana for
evidence, especially TO the former
state az McLin is there quite i'll.
Driggers, the probate judge of Baker
county where the principal frauds
were committed, is said to be in
Washington under the eyes of the
Democratic managers. Garfield pre-
senlcd in the house Monday a cable
gram from Minister Moves asking to
be subppnaed before the committee.
The Republicans are somewhat re-
cOnciled to the minority representa-
ton on the committee, although it is
not what they wanted. Jacob ID.
Cox of Ohio is the only man Oh the
committee who is anything of Il friend
of Mr.. Hayes and his friendship is
nothing like that of Foster, Garfield
or Matthews of the Ohio delegation.
Great things are expected of Reed of
Maine. He is Il new member, but
Hamlin and other Maine men say he
is the strongest man in the Maine
delegation in or out of the senate.
The Democrats are very well pleased
with their representation on the COM
mittee. Three of the members, Nor
rison, McMahon and Blackburn were
on the Louisiana committee of IL year
ago. None of the members were on
the Florida committee. Hunter was
a member of the electoral commits
sion. Stenger is Mt present a mem-
Der of the Judiciary, and although
Young is an able man. Comb is IL
new member, but is credited with
much political wisdom. Morrison is
generally conceded by the Democrats
us being the guiding spirit of the
committee, and as such has their full
confidence. McAlahon will conduct
the examinations before the commit
tee. Potter, the chairman, will he
eminently fit in all he does.

He is not far from 60 years of age,
a mar of the purest life and charac-
ter, and perhaps better acquainted
with the legislature of Missouri than
any other man. He is not, strictly

man, who has always lneen Il faithful
and Industrious servant Ct his fe,-
low-citizens when placed by them III
positions of trust. His record as
Governor, will always he pointed to
as a model of exactitude and econo-
my. Under him the State govern
ment was run at far less expense than
since the war, and he accomplished
many reforms of lasting value. Natn-
rally of "a retiring disposition and
modest in his pretentions, he will De
sure not to take any prominent part
personally in the canvass, depending
solely OH the warm place he has il
the hearts of the people. No man is
more generally respected by Mis-
sourians than ex-Gov. Hardin. They
look upon him as one in whom they
can put absolute dependence. What
he promises he will fulfill ut hazards

ROLIAN HAVOC.

The suburbs of St. Louis were visit
ed by the worst storm of the season
shortly after noon last Saturday. A
bank of dense black clouds formed
in the west, and heralded by constant
rumbiing of thunder, the storm came
up with great rapidity. West of the
city, in the River Des Peres valley,
the bank of clouds seemed to part,
one portion moving northeast and
the other southeast. The wind blew
very hard and considerable rain fell
in the western ceLtra portion OF the
city, but the main force was felt in
the southern and northern sections.
The storm passed through Forest
Park, playing havoc with the trees,
uprooting them by the score, and
leaving the ground strewed with
branches. Cote Brilliante, the dis
trIct along the Natural Bridge road.
tie Fair Grounds and Tower sus-
tanned a great deal of damage.
In Carondelet and the southwest
ern suburbs the storm was scarcely
less severe, prostraGing chimneys and
demolishing several structures.

A Gifted Exnert.

One of the most skiIful experts in
America is J. F. Tandy, coin examiner
at the treasury, to whom 1 am indebted
for much valuable information. Mr.,
Tandy has remarkable gift for discern
ing the slightest fraud in specie, and vet
he can hardly tell how it is done. II a
counterfeit piece be concealed in heap
of money he will detect it blindfelded.
All that is required is to run mis-
fingers through the mass, and in q few
moments every one is tested. This is
the result of that remarkable power of
touch which is only perfected by long
practice. cuch g man is of immense
value in place like the treasury. Coin
in this institution is handled in large
sums, and it is wheeled ON trucks like
other merchandise, but in weighing a
bag the loss of a single piece would be
noticed. The treasury is fOored with
marble tile, but these would soon be
destroyed by the heavy trucks that roll
through the specie department. For
this reason the strongest wooden floor is
used, being MADE of maple strips set in
edgewise and fastened in the most secure
manner. Even such a bottom is none
too solid for the iucessant trituration of
iron wheels and heavy burdens. Troy
Times.
