OUR NoMINEE-ALEx. GRAVES.

The Sentinel has no personal &C
quaintance with Mr.. Alexander Graves
the democratic congressional nominee
tor this district, but it most heartily en-
dorses his nomination, and will, as lar as
its influence extends. do all q its power
~ secure his election. The Sentinel Il is
true, desired the nomination of a Jack.
son county nan for reasons heretofore
given; but for these very reasons shall
work all the harder for the gallant gen.
tleman whose name heads this article.
All we know OF MIR. Graves is. that he
came before the convention the choice
of the democracy OF one of the best
counties in the state. a county whose
population is replete with men OF intelli-
gence, OF education, OF refinement and
ability. A people who can boast such
eminent names as Wood, Ryland, Nc.
Clelland and Shelby, would not consent
to put forward as their representative, a
light weight Or u ma OF little conse-
quence, but on the contrary, with a
whole galaxy of ability to choose from
they would naturally select The star, and
such an honor Alexander Graves, we
are assured. proudly wears.
Of course y desperate effort will now
be made to defeat the democratic nomr-
nee. The republican party, with the
treasury OF its p%o;iticsl committees filled
with q campaign fund wrung from the
thousands Of government employees,
'.blood moneys. drawn by the party
leeches from the pagesiof congress and
the half starved washer W omen who
scrub the public stairways at Washing
ton Clty-..blackmail" levied upon the
hali.paid female department clerks,
largess stolen from the public treasury
by the score of rings that plumber ad
libitum, will make, we say. a desperate
effort to defeat the election of Mr..
Graves and again misrepresent this dis
trict by electing4a republican to con-
gress. Every engine OF political cor
rnption will be used every prejudice
of locality and section will be infuen.
ced. In order to carry out the republican
programme. and elect the republican
nominee. But We say be the fight ever so
bitter, the democracy must stand to
tteir guns. We must have no Sinking,
no lodging, no deserving. With every
man In line, he victory is ours by $500
majority, and a majority less than that
will faint success with dishonor.

THE FIFTH

[From the st. Joseph Gazette. Augusta
AS the telegraph told US yesterday
morning. Alexander Graves off Eafay-
cite has been nominated tor congress by
the democracy OF the fifth district. This
means more than that Kansas City has
been defeated. Tor it will save the dis
trict from the possibility OF another re.
publican triumph because OF democratic
division. A democrat will be sent to
congress in November to AXE Van
Horns 9 4
Lafayette Is q new county In the dis
trict. The ENVIRONMENTS of Clay and
Jackson have not been Il concern to her.
and she has made no old scores which
demand settlement in November.
Graves is o strong democrat and an
able lawyer, but politically he is too
young to have made enemies or provoke
party opposition. Everything her is
serene down below. Through deli5-
crate intention, jackson county has cut
the perplexing Knot which complicated
the democratic political situations. and
democrats all over the state, who have
the whole interest OF the party at heart
will indorse the opinion that this
chance stroke was aztec all the me- ST
effective one possible.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

from the Kansas City Times. Aug.4
1t was expected, and, therefore, it
is not surprising. from a Kansas City
standpoint, that the objection is
urged against the democratic candi-
date for congress that he is not a res
ident of Kansas City or Jackson II
ty. In anticipation of ench an objec-
ton. and i'll Difference To the local
pride that actuates it, in which the
Times shares no less than any one Of
the city, this paper WAS urgent for
the Jackson county delegation TO
combine its strength and win the
prize. Having, however, failed to
heed this advice, it is well to consid-
er what real merit there is in tho
single objection TO the democratic
candidate, aud what grounds there
are in 1t for any opposition from any
resident of Kansas City, whatever.
The purposes of parading such all
objection is easily discernlble. 1t is
hoped to SOW discord and dissensiou
in democratic ranks, and thus serve
the interests of the republican party,
and possibly enhance the value of the
chances Oh which they are ready to
gamble. The democracy of Jackson
county aud of Kansas City cannot af.

NO MISTAKES THIS TIME.

Missouri does not appear to be max
ing any mistakes in its congressional
nominees so far. Buckner and Graves
will not only be elected but will reflect
honor on their constituents in the body
to which they go. We refer to their
standing as citizens. Judge Buckner is
known to The entire union in his public
character.

HAS ENpEARED HIMSELF TO THE PEG
fLE. IS

From the Independence Mo-. Progress:l2
The convention at Kansas City last
Wednesday, after the usual tugging and
pulling for favorltes finally decided on
Lafayette county's choice. and Alexan-
der Graves, whom the people of Lafny-
cite county love, was made the demo-
cratic nominee Tor congress in the nov
fifth district. Mr.. Graves, although not
very well known outside OF his own
county, Is a man OF the highest integrity.
and q man that has endeared himself to
people with whom he has eyer been
thrown, by his sterling worth. AS a
democrat his record is clear and he will

ALEXANDER GRAVES NOMINATED F,

I'D -
From the Odessa Herald
Now to the front. We have u candi.
date whom we can honor and support,
and he will be elected.
Who is Graves?
He Is q citizen of Lexington; born in
Mississippi in 1843. His father was a
talented Presbyterian clergyman of that
state, who gave his son, Alexander, a
liberal education, finishing his classical
education while quite young, and then
he graduated at the law university OF
Virginia, In 1864. Five years alter
wards. in 1869, he located. q mere boy,
in Lexington, where he at once took q
leading course in the practice OF the law.
and was once city attorney and once
prosecuting attorney Of the county. in
which POSITIONS he won great credit by
his able management OF business. His
law practice gradually grew until he IS
now regarded by q supreme court
and the circuit court Of the United States
In Missouri, as n OF the very ablest
lawyers in the state, and if success is o
criterion, then he is such.
Mr.. Graves has none OF the 'tswell
head" about him ; none of the braggart.
but he has the t'sand In his craw" 10 90
to the bottom Of everything he touches.
Hei is logical, exact, insisting, critical,
and Is -capable OF combining fact Tor con-
illusions that is not easily matched.
We predict an able canvass, and that
be will be elected, and that he will play
his part In congress to the entire Salts
faction of all honest andinlelligent dem
oorats.
Hurrah! for Grayes!!
