THE CONVENTION.

THE CONVENTION.
A notice has been already issued
and printed calling the citizens OF
SedaIia to come together in mass
meeting, on the evening of the 31st
of March, the council chamber having
been selected as the place, to take
steps towards preparing for q suitable
reception and entertainment Of the
members OF the Republican State
Convention, which meets here on the
18th of April. We are glad to see
this important measure in o fair way
of being set go properly afoot. There
should be no party distinction thought
of in this connection. Regardless Of po-
litical beliefs and affiliations the people
of Sedalia should turn out and each
man should offer in the cause of hos
pitality a ready hand of help. Our
reputation will be placed on trial, and
if We acquit ourselves as the BAzOO
believes Sedalia can and will do, a
great point will be gained. Sedalia
has secured a prize in securing this
great state convention from the out.
stretched hands of larger cities, and
she must show herself not unworthy
of the honor. Her reputation once
established and her ability to entertain
once demonstrated, her position as the
metropolis of Central Missouri will b
lsss grudgingly admitted. and the way
to future conventions made easy. The
gathering here of such large bodies Of
leading and influential men, represent
ing every constituency in the state, as
will meet on the 18th of April, serves
ss an advertisement for a city whose
value cannot be estimated. We have
only to be known to be recognized as
what We claim to be, therefore let
nothing stand in the way of our making
~ fav ,rable an impression as possible
upon our visitors. 1t is the first
chance that has been offered. Wise
men viii sec the necessity Of improving
it to the utmost.
Again We say, let no consideration
Of party deter anyone from adding his
weight to the gathering of Wednesday
night. ana let the voice of Sedalia then
60 up in favor of exercising that noble
which is innate to her char
acter.
The House Committee on Indian
Affairs yesterday called on Secretary
to make report as to whether
there had been any frauds or corrupt
practices committed in his department
since July 1877, the great difficulty
with Carl will not be in finding Out
these frauds.
Damage SUIT.
On the 24th day of February John
OKeife, who keeps a notorious den
and los groggery jim East Sedalia.
claimed that be was robbed of money
in bank bills and coin to the amount
of over 81, 100.
O'Keife swore out a warrant charg-
ing William Bergin with being the
thief and in default of bail the accused
was incarcerated in the county Jail for
about fourteen days. and then when
his preliminary trial was called in
judge Webber's court, OKeife did
not put in an appearance to prosecute,
and of course Bergin was turned
loose.
Bergin has, by bis attorneys S. A.
Warden and L. L. Bridges. COM
menced damage suit against Okeife
for s., 600 and which he prays Judge
ment for.
The public do not sympathize with
Bergin to any great extent and think
that he should be punished some for
being caught in such miserable dive
ne O'Keife's. At the same time he is
entitled to damages and will probably
get the amount for which he sues.
O'Keife subsequently found his
money. hence he did not appear
against Bergin when the examination
was called.
