SWEET SPRINGS, Mo, June A.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met here to-day and issued the
following call:
SWEET SPRINGS, Mo-, June4, 1874.
AT a meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee, held at this
place, it was ordered that the State
Convention be held on the 10th day
of July, at Jefferson City, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for one Supreme Judge, State Super
intendent of Public Schools, Register
of Lands, and one Railroad Commits
sioner; also to elect a Democratic
State Central Committee, and such
other business as may be deemed
necessary. The committee fixes the
basis Of representation in this con-
v6ntion at one delegate for every 500
votes polled for President Tilden at
the general election in 1876 and one
delegate for every fraction in excess
of ESQ votes; provided, that every
representative district in the State
shall be entitled to at least one dele
gate.
The Committee recommends and
requests the various counties and
representative districts in the State
to make provision for the selection of
their delegate to the convention at as
early a day as practicable.

Last Saturday was regular stock
sales day and Mexico was crowded
with men intent on business. A car
losd of Cooks buggies was disposed
of at ruinous low prices. Mexico is
always a live place, but few towns in
the state do a better or larger bust
ness than is transacted in Mexico
on stock sales day.

L. S. SENATOR.

In looking over the Sedalia Demo
crat of September y, 1877, we find
that Il st. Louis correspondent III re-
viewing the probabilities rs to who
would be the candidates for the L.
S. Senate wrote the following OF FIX
Gov. c. II. Hardin of Audrain coun-
ty:
Ex- Gov. Charles ii. Hardin has
friends in every direction who will
work Zcal0usly TO secure his election.
and who are even now ut work with
energy and discretion. Hardin is II
qdiet, undemonstrativc, uneXcItablc
man but by no mean either Il sci
fish or a hearlless one. His mind
simply dominates his body and this
mind is always collected and always
analytical. Much reticence belongs
to this phase of the intellectual de
velopment, and also the inevitable
habit of listening a great deal. The
masses undoubtedly gatherabont him
who appears colossal through his
speech. Here and there demlgoGncs
and demigods are synonymous terms.
Resonance is often mistaken for rca-
son, and an accomplished buglcr for
an accomplished politician. The
masses, however, do not elect soma
tors. Something more is needed than
lungs, brass buttons, and hand-shak-
ings. and Oily Cannon declarations
OH every subject from the American
eagle to the turnip seed Wilkins
Micawbcr received from the Hon.
Leouidas Fosco. Probably no man
ever left the executive Office OF the
State with a laircr naine and a lnore
generally endorsed record than cN-
Governor Hardin. Three things
made it a memorable administration
three things so needtul that all eyes
were turned upon them to separate
the true from the false, the honest
from the cOunterleit-thcse three
things being integrity, economy and
Democracy. BY such a standard
was Hardin measured-in scales like
these was he weighed and not found
wanting. The State prOspered un-
der him: old-fashioned taxpayers
took note Of the way things were
done; law-abidrng people felt CON
tented confidence abode i'll every
household; the chronic bahbling
about rings ceased as suddenly as
the noise of a brook the sards swal-
low up; the laws were rigidly e%ntorc-
ed, and when the end Of his official
life had come a great many sensible
and influential people were heard to
say: ''Well, we must make Hardin
Senator" And they are at work
this moment like beavers trying to
make him Senator.

Judge Buckner, it seems, has
changed his views concerning the
Potter investigation, and is now OF
opinion that the inquiry should be
relentless and thorough; further
more, that in cas9 Hayes is found to
be really implicated in the frauds, he
should be impeached. These are
doubtless the views Of candid and
conservative men everywhere. I'm
less the President and Secretary
Sherman and Senator Matthews can
clear their skirts completely of the
enormous misdemeanors imputed to
them, they should one and all be
made an example of. Nothing less

ribtc visitation and ruin of our small
city last Saturday. | cannot present
the facts i'll their foil force. and shall
no. attempt it. The most graphic

clone not only Frustrated houses,

Whirled everything over houses and
all intervening obstacles, and bore
them for milcs-many of them to

We have 60 families houscless and
utterly destitute; we are doing all We
can. Eighteen have been buried up
to this time ten more will probably
die, and we have - wounded to
nurse; every house is more than full.
Many Of the women aid children
have nothing but what they were
clothed in-iurniturc. clothing, every
thing in ribbons. Those from the
adjoining towns and cities who have
visited the scene have returned home
end their people promptly and gencr-
ously responded. The most eloquent
speech for aid is to see the scene 4;
" sturdy English fails utterly. |
know yours is IL small town and has,
ike most others, had its own gricv-
anceS, but il you can induce your
