These are the main questions upon Which the

While fully appreciating the magnitude 81

be unmindfu of the Importance of questions
which affect the West. and especially the state
of Missouri. Among these Is immigration

State-its fine climate, its fertile SOL, anu l.s
great mineral resources everything is goou
here except political domination bourbon
Democracy Is the foe of immigration In Mis-
souri, as it always has been in Kentucky and
in other States. A Republican victory in the
State would do more to encourage tne pest
class of immigrants to come within our borders
than can be accomplished in any other way, or
through any other agency, Inc heaven Is
working, and we have faith in its success
within a few years. In the meantime We shall
not forget that while Republicanism is help
to immigration, immigration is also help to
Renubli icanism. The thrifty farmers OF the
Eastern States who move West in pursuit OF
more land t, meet the necessities of q growing
family are not bourbon Democrats; and the IN
dustriOus foreigners who come here Tor homes
and fields will soon learn to choose rightly be-
tween the two parties. ,
As q newspaper the GlObe-Democrat will
hold the pre-eminence which it has already
gained 1t will present in all its editions a full
and faithful record of current events. Its IA
cilities are unrivaled. No other newspaper
East or West has larger corps Of active and
Intelligent correspondents in all SECTIONS III the
country and the world. We spare neither en-
ergy nor expense in the collection of news, as
our columns from day to day abundantly show.
Our weekly issue is made up from the most
valuable of the contents of seven daily issues,
carefully selected and edited with view t.
completeness and timeliness 1t has, as spe-
cial features, the fullest and best market re-
ports from all the business centers of the
world; the choicest and current Literature f,r
