THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
GOVERNOR.

Col. Thos. l.. Crittenden was the
lucky man at Jefferson and is the dem
ocratic candidate for Governor OF this
great state.
The nomination is good one Col.
Crittcnden is man of ability, with a
clear record and his nomination reflects
credit upon the wisdom of the denocra-
cy of Missouri. and indicates that there
is some hope Of advancement in the
principles, and ideas Of thr Missouri
democracy.
Of course we think it would be much
better for the prosperity of the state to
have republican Governor, and we
are sorry there is so little prospect ofel-
ecting one. but as it seems we must
have democrat, Col. Crittenden will
make as good a governor as any man
