JEFFERSON CITY LETTER.
JEFFERSON CITY. Jan. %. 1879.
EDITOR INTELL1GENcER As yeu know,
e'er this. the senatorial battle has been
fought to a conclusion. 1t remains for
me to take up the story of the field
where it was dropped in my last. that
the readers of the Intelligencer may
have q clear and succinct view of the &C.
ton.
The organization of the caucus, and
the election, so far as its voice was con
cerned, of Gen. James Shields, for the
short term, l have mentioned. While
it is true that much feeling conferred
around wen this election, Gen. Shields
friends being earnestly interested IN his
behalf, it was, of course. as nothing
when compared to the struggle for the
high position of senator from the great
state of Missouri for six years from the
fourth day of March next. In this con
test were men of eminence, %eloquence
and learning. Not one whose name was
offered but would have graced the posi-
ton SO far as culture is concerned; and
when their names were presented to the
caucus the words of enc omium and OF
praise which fell from the lips ct Bal
lingal, Cabell, Dryden, Cowan, Parish,
Mcintyre and others, were not words OF
tulsome flattery, but honest tributes to
the worth of gallant Misseurians, of
whom we may we'll feel proud. Patriots,
all. stirred up with high hopes of being
useful to their fellow men, and with the
wisdom to make their purposes of avail.
So well are their merits known to you
and to your readers that l will not de-
tain you to speak particularly Of each,
or OF his following, but will briefly
state the result finally reached, after a
pretracted and very warm canvass, con-
Quoted, 1 am glad to say, with every
good feeling and courtesy upon the part
of the principals.
