raE GOVERNOR SPEAKS.

T. T. Crittenden, Governor of Missou-
ri, spoke at the Masonic hall Tuesday
afternoon to a very large audience.
The Governor is not remarkably clio.
quent but his position, and his recent
notoriety in connection with the James
family has made him an object of Gu
riosity to the people. The Governor
deserves lots of honor and sympathy,
honor tor what he has done to re.
store a good character to the state
abroad and to remove from it the stig-
ma of being the 'robber state" and
sympathy for the bitter abuse and hatred
he has received at the hands of one
wing of his party in this state. The
crowd that was out to hear him Tues
day was very large, orderly and atten-
tive. Governor Crittenden will find
that in republican north Missouri his
fight against law lessness has hearty ap-
probation. AS for the points Of the
speech we are unable to speak as we
heard but small part of his remarks,
but we presume it was IN vindication
of his policy and administration OF
affairs mostly. There is some things
yet which the governor might distin-
guish himself in doing, but we fear the
job is greater than that of breaking up
the James gang. Well informed peo-
pie say that our constitutional provisions
against parallel and competing railroad
lines being under one management is
daily, boldly and Systematically dlsre-
garded by those great corporations
and the people steayily robbed
by that means in defiance of the law
If such is the case, T. T. Crittenden
can add another wreath to his handsome
brow by putting stop to it. Will he
DO it?

A Heavy Jolt.

Mr.. F. A. Leavltt acknowledged to a
citizen, for whose veracity we vouch,
that Bill Hatch is paying his expenses
during this canvass.
Any greenbacker who can be influ-
enced by this bought candidate is a fit
person to send to the ''Asylum for
Fools"
Leavitt's candidacy is in the interest
of Hatch-as has been attributed from
the beginning. We have hesitated to
give credence to the current report. be-
cause of our regard for him personally ;
but when he acknowledges, himself.
that he is in the pay Of the democracy,
we feel like saying--and do say-that
F. A. Leavitt is the most stupendous
political fraud We have ever met

A Fable.

One day an old turkey took a walk
through the meadow to see how the
crops were getting along. Seeing a
hornets nest by stoae wall she fond
ly imagined she could hatch out the
contents. So she sat down upon it
and did hatch out the contents in about
swo seconds. Five minutes later she
stood filled with humiliation, running
her bill through her feathers and at.
tempting to count the number of per-
foratlons in her breast, which looked
very much like nutmeg-grater. The
moral of the fable teaches us that
squatting on other peoples property is
a perilous proceeding; and that there
are Some humble institutions which can.
not be sat upon.-PNek.

4 PLEASANT VISIT.
A Graphic Csrrespondent Visits IN
C0antry-A Pleasant Country
Home.

EDITOR GRAPHIC Dear Sir:
On last Sunday morning we boarded
the North bound train for visit to Mr.
John Ely's. Thirty minutes ride
brought us to Sublette Station. we
were met at the depot by the gentle
manly agent, Mr.. ]. ]. Clark, and escor-
ted to his residence where we were vel.
coined and entertained by his estimable
lady. After an hours pleasant chat We
went to Mr.. John Ely's, and if there is
such a thing as genuine happiness in a
country home we found it there. Mr..
Ely has lived on that farm about twenty.
five years, has been industrious and
saving and the result is he has now the
most convenient farm arrangements
and We might add the most beautiful
surroundings in the country. We were
kindly shown around, and took pleas
ure in hearing him explain and exhibit
his inventions and appliances for the
performance of his farm labor. One
of his achievements is large pond or
artificial lake near his residence cover
ing something near four acres. The
water is clear as crystal and from four
to fifteen feet deep. There are great
many fish in the lake and we had the
pleasure OF irving our luck a: angling
and found that we could jerk them out
at the rate of four fish in three minutes.
He has spent large amount of money
and time in excavating and building up
embankments and stocking the lake
with fish. He intends planting trees
and shrubery within the grounds, and
otherwise beautifying the surroundings,
seats will be erected, sheds will be
built for horses and all the necessary
arrangements made to make it desir-
able summer resort for the pleasure
seekers of Klrksville and surrounding
community. We next visited Judge
D. A. Ely at his home spent an hour or
so very pleasantly. We went back to
Sublette late in the evening, a gged the
first train that came by and arrived at
home at eleven O'Clock p. m, tired but
we'll pleased with our visit. T.

AssuRplry rERsoslrlED.

The Democrat denies that prohibi-
ton had anything to do with the re
publican defea: in Ohio. Now this is
presuming a little tao much on the
ignorance Of the public. Any man
with any political sense at all &soars
better. In the first place the prohibi.
t,onist ran an independent ticket which
shows large gains, most Of which came
from the republican party because that
party did not take sufficiently advanced
ground in that direction. Second,
owing to the enforcement Of the Sum-
da, Saloon closing law by ,eps6iieax
authority, the german vote which was
especially heavy in the cities. went over
to the democrats on account of their
position against "sumptuary legislation"
of which position Senator Vest is an
eloquent exponent, and yet our bran
new. logical, nice. conscientious demo-
cratic editor SAYS "Prohibition" had
nothing to do with it. If 1t wasn't
that it must have been the River and
Harbor Bill, of which our able cotem-
porary, we see by this weeks issue, is
a special friend and champion. II
that is what beat republicans in Ohio,
how will it affect Mr.. Hatchs Accord
ing to the Democrat it must have been
one of those "other forces" that work
ed defeat. Oh no! Prohibition
was no issue at all. 1t was Saloon
closing on Sunday and some other
things that did the business. The
GRAPHIC amt an organ Professor, and
what it says it says honestly. We pity
a paper which must talk one way when
it thinks another. If the republicans

issue, the same as your party did Ohio.

ALWAYS THE CASE.

The Republican party is not dead
That IS or 80 Republican voters in
each Precinct in Ohio who felt so little
satisfaction with the management ofthe
party that they did not go to the poll:
shows nothing only that they had rea'
sons for their indifference as to the re.
suit. If they had voted with the Dem.
ocracy 1t would have had a much more
serious outlook. But, with the excep.
ton of a few thousand Germans who
struck for Beer and Liberty" they did
not do this. They simply staid away
from the polls, as they have a habit Of
doing in Ohio when the party manage
management is distasteful to them.
The same explanation will apply to
Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York.
When any issue of National importance
is again represented to the people the
Democrats will as invariably take the
wrong side of 1t, as they have always
done, and the Republican party will
sweep the country again with its old
time majorities.
The failures this year will make VIC
tory in 1884 certain. The Democrats
are now,-as they always are upon the
first CLEAN of fsuccess-intoxlcat with
the idea that the country is about to
be handed over to them for all time.
They cannot help so grossly abusing
their victory,-so disporting themselves
in their hour of triumph, as to give the
country a fearful fright as to the danger
of entrusting them with any more pow
er.
Next year the revulsion will come,
with all the Republicans out and vot-
ing, and the Democracy will go down
again into its old wallow in the Slough
of Despond.-zoledo BLADE.
