From the Bonnie Terre, st. Francois Co. Banner
!; Hon. L. d. Walker, Of Pennington, was 1
: Wednesday. Mr.. Walker, who Is one Of tn
= best posted men in the county, thinks the rae
, for Governor will be between Crittenden an
!. Hockadsy, with Crittenden on the iusld
track.
And now the irrepressable John H. Morse
of Jefferson county, comes to the front, an
, through the columns Of the Jefferson Demo
crat announces himself . candid ate for Con
gress from the First Congressional District
We are not surprised to learn that Mr.. Mors
Is candidate; on the contrary, we would
ave been surprised to have had reliable in
formation that he was not q candidate. In
deed he has been q candidate as far back al
we can remember, and we think Il Is generally
all time.
From the Cape Girardeau News:
We thought we had made it sufficiently
plain whom we would support for Governor.
but AS several parties have asked US 1t would
zee m that our position Is not known. To SET
the matter at rest we will state that our
choice is Hon. T. T. Crittenden, for these sew.
eral reasons:
1. He is Democrat by birth and life.
2. He has mingled much with the people OF
the State and understands them and their ne
| cessities.
3. He Is q man Of strict moral integrity.
4. He is . statesman of superior ability.
5. He is temperate in habits of life and lib
eral in his views.
6. He has the energy and backbone to do
his duty.
2. He is q ripe scholar, a thorough gentle
man, and has proven his honesty, capability
and devotion to the true interests OF the State
by his past public career. We believe him a
pure man and the choice OF large majority
of the people of the State for the position Of
Governor, and while we have high regard
for the other aspirants, for the reasons above
cited, the News will support Hon. Thomas 7.
Crittenden.
From the Hillsboro Jefferson Democrat:
Judging from reports from other counties
in this judicial district, Nh. Thomas will have
no opposition. His acceptance Of the candi-
in Iron and Reynolds counties.
From the Pennington Times:
We don't think Mississippi county acted
wisely in instructing for State offices. Every
county in the Southeast should send delegates
of good judgment, sound Democracy and un-
Improbable integrity to tina State Convention
men ubon whom they can rely TO work for
the best interests of the party. The delegates
may then get together, exchange views freely,
take in the situation, and not having their
hands tied may organize Systematically and
make their influence ia the Convention felt.
We can't expect to get all the cAndidatesj
two at least If we stand by each other; II We
do not, we are not sure of anything.
From the Marble Hill Herald:
The Herald has heretofore taken pleasure |
in supporting Mr.. Davis, and it has never un- !
dertaken the task with brighter outlook for
success, and with a feeling of more willing |
ness, than it does now, at the outset of the |
coming campaign.
Men of character and Intelligence heve in |
formed US, who have seen Mr.. Davis at Wash |
ngton, that he Is, and has ever been, dill. |
ne is studious and industrious in preparing |
himself, in looking after those things that |
must be learned and understood in order to |
act understandingly. It has always been . |
'ule with Mr.. Davis not to act hastily, but |
With deliberation.
We feaIlessly present his record as one /
hat is reasonable, without blemish nd
above criticism. In doing So, we ask fair
md considerate opposition, for upon his
merits his friends intend helping him to
make this canvass. No one, we suppose,
lesires to make war upon Mr.. Ward. Mr..
Davis does not himself. 1t is not through
he defects of his opponent that he
xpects to be returned to Congress-; but be-
ause his claims are superior, his education
or the position better; and further, because
he entire man stands head and shoulders

wards him seat in Congress two years Ion
Ter. Because 1t would be unjust and falsely
lckle for any people. to dislodge good and
man, who has endeavored to serve
hem. and to put in another, not his equal, II
or no other reason, because he lacks expert
nee.
Our candid opinion It that Ward is eminent
y selfish, in this, that he would unblushingly
acrifce the party and its interests to the
rawlings of his own morbid ambition. We
ove-we honor q bold and honest ambition,
