JUDGE v. r. Chiffon,

The gentleman whose name appears At the
head # this article, the Democratic candi.
date for Representative in the State Legis.
laiure, is too we'll known in Sedalia and
Pettis county to need any commentator As
q citizen or ss q candidate. One of the
earliest settlers in this county, Judge Chi.
ton il known far and near, ard IL univer-
sally holored and respected tor his intelli-
gence, culture, integrity and public spirit.
We have refrained from needlessly urging
our readers TO vote for Judge Chiffon
when it seemed improbable that any con-
siderable number of them could hesitate 70
vote and work for his election. Whenever
he has consented 10 be q candidate for any
Office, he has been elected BY unusually
large msjorities, receiving the votes Of in.
telligent, respectable citizens of all political
parties. And in every Office he has ever
held, he has performed its duties in the
most honorable and satisfactory manner.
Pettis county never had better citizen
uOuC l0tSuAOt OAAACSbs SU1U SuoSS
Chiffon; and though farmer-allied ia
interests and sympathies with the agricul-
turai element, he has ever been . warm
friend and supporter Of every measure and
policy calculated to advance material inter.
eats Of Sedalia.
We have not noticed, and shall not nov
attempt to notice. any of the frivolous
senseleas, malicious and slanderous charges
and arguments that some have attempted
to use against Judge Chiffon. His charac
ter is too noble and his reputation toe
surely established, to justify any notice
Of his petty detractors.
And now that the election il at hand, We
can truly say that nothing has been, or can
be, urged against him to show him to be
unworthy of the cordial support Of any
Democrat. or any voter, Who wishes our
county and city to be properly represented
in the next Legislature.
His election seems to be assured, and ve
call on eli good citizens TO aid in swelling
his majority.

All through one election day
The wanderer p,rsued his way.
And ever and anon bis prayer
Rang out upon the startled air
"M0se Greenbacka."
Next morn they found the foolish man,
Near where saline river ran,
lust ready to embark and sail
Up stream, but able still to VAIL
"MOre Greenbscks."
There in the morning, clear and bright,
His vessel gl,ded out Of sight.
And from his lips in after days
Was heard no more the foolish phrase
"MOre Greenbacks."

That Loud talk on the back Seats.

There is some loud talking on the back
seats in the workingmen's party that Mr.
Kinskey does not properly attend to his
duties as toet nurse of the party. Now Mr.
kinskey should not be abused for what he
no longer controls 1t is true he was per-
mitted to announce for four weeks through
the columns of the organ" that, to use
his own words, the workingmen's county
central committee have made arrange
ments for the publication of (such) a news
paper under their general advice." Mr.,
klnskey's announcement was dropped last
week to enable 1.-THE organ grinder" to ap-
peal to old democrats to come to his sup
port on the grounds of his being an ole
time democrat" Now let that noise OF
the back seats cease until z few old time
democrats can be worked over to the or
gan" when Mr.. Kinskey will again tax,
hold of the crank ald grind out thu
Chicago workingmen's platform togethe
with little music for the men whom th
street commissioner wanted to force +
carry rock 800 feet in their hands ant
break it at 80 cents day. Just give Mr.
Kinskey little time His organ is liable
from long use to hard money times an
defence of monopoies, to run q littl
crooked. During such times the Uaio
will write up nice little articles and sig
them wv Nottingham, and while ''the or
gar" is laboring for the democratic party
the workingmen can, by signing their ow
names to their articles, have them put
lished in The ARGUS, and thus we can
! get along harmoniously together and nc
have any loud talk on the back seat
+ This is the first time Mr.. Kinskey and tn
street commissioner ever run party c
their own and this growing and lou
) noise disturbs their profound meditations
Gentlemen we sincerely hope you will kee
quiet now that you understand the situa
ton. Your party is of course shor

democratic party when yours is NUN bere
