Southeast Politics.

Says the Jackson Cash.Book: "From pres.
ent indications, the Pennington Times will
| have its hands full from now until after the
election. The Times has a big contract on
hand. It proposes to elect Judge Carter to be
Supreme Judge and Gen. Hockaday for Gov
| ernor''
| of Iron county, was in town the fore part of
| the week, trying to get up boom in the in
terest of the Republican convention to be held
at Sedalia soon to send delegates to the Chica-
20 Convention. 1t wasn't much of boom he
met with here, however"
Pennington Times: 1.-THE Potosi Indepen-
dent is still hammering against Mr.. Clardy,
and disfiguring the face of its editor. It's a
clear case of a man cutting off his own nose to
spite his face. The worst point the editor of
that journal has ever made against Mr.. Clar-
dy, If true, makes himself a party to the
wrong.'
Greenville journal: ave think it I: very
unjustly that the Cape Girardeau News at
tacks the character of Judge Carter. Know
ing that Judge Carter's honesty and ability as
a lawyer cannot be questioned, the News con-
soles itself by preferring against him the seri-
GUS charge and declaring to the world that the
judge is even stingy."
Benton Record: "Mr. Thoroughman, of
the Iron Mountain Railway Service-Depart-
ment Of Justice-so says the Post-Dispatch.
announces authoritatively that Hon. Thomas
Allen is candidate for United States Sena-
tor, and that he will make his canvass as thor
Ough as any other man. This will be crafty
Ing news to Mr.. Aliens many friends in South
east Missouri"
Greenville journal: s'The Cape Girardeau
News for some cause (or without a cause)
has opened vile and unbecoming abuse
against Hon. L. H. Davis. If Mr.. Davis is
such bad man as represented by the News,
why did he carry Cape Girardeau county by
such an overwhelming majority in 1878? The
people from this portion of the district are
hi ly pleased with Mr.. Davis action as
Representative, and will vote first, last and all
the time to retain him as such.''
Hillsboro Democrat: ave learn from the
st. Louis Re publican that Hon. Marshal Arnold
torney General. This leaves Judge Dining
as the only candidate for that office in this
part of the State, and If there is ybody who
huoWS u any ROOu reason why ne SnOul1 not
receive the unanimous support of Southeast
Missouri, let them now speak, or else forever
after hold their peace.'
To which the Fredericktown Plaindealer
adds: IF the Democratic party will only
elect such men as Judge Dining to office it
will succeed. The Plsindealer tenders the
Judge its hearty endorsement"
Commerce Dispatch: According to the
Pennington Times, Senator Cockerell wrote
to Mr.. B. B. Cahoon informing him how he
could secure his confirmation as Census Su-
pervisor. 1t would be of interest II stated
upon what conditions that information was
given, or whether it was the spontaneous
offering of our noble Senator's generous
heart. It is not reasonable to suppose that
a U. 8. Senator with such brilliant a record
as Senator Cockrell and who has won by
his close attention to the interests of the
people that honorable distinction, The Watch
Dog of the Public Treasury would sto, p to
traffic in Census Supervisorship. No, Sem
ator Cockrell can 20 before the people upon
his record, and need made no trade"
