SAID that his faction would support EI-Gov.
ernor Nichols as an Independent Democratic
candidate, if that gentleman would consent
to run To-day, however, all rumors of this
character were set at rest by formal letter
OF acceptance from Kellogg. 1t is now GER
tain that the fight in the district will be a
triangular one between Acklen, the Demo
cratic nominee, Kellogg and Beattie. The
latter has already announced that under no
circumstances would he withdraw, and his
psrtissns held large ratification meeting in
st. Mary parish. His committee claim that
they have abundant funds for campaign pur-
poses. Darrall, the present Congressman
| from the district. who is chairman of the
Beattie Campaign Committee, left for Wash
| lngtou two days ago to secure the recognition
| OF Beattie as the regular nominee of the
| Congressional Committee. Pinchback left
at the same time in KelIogg's interest. Ack-
| lens election is regarded certain unless
one of the Republican candidates is with
drawn, which is altogether improbable.

and party from the disgraeeful consequences
OF their betrayal by so-called leaders in
committing them to the support Of Chalmers.

VERY MUCH MIXED CONTEST.
The political situation in Missouri is very
much like that which prevails in Egypt.
Boss Filley is the xhedive and Burch is
sort of Arab Pasba who is setting his SOW
ereign's will at defiance. The Democrats
may be compelled 10 initiate the English
and restore order in the name of the con-
temned khediye, taking forty-year lease on
all the State offices for their pacifcatory ser
vices.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

THE DEMOCRACY TAKING BOLD STAND
The Massachusetts Democracy is evidently t
n the eve of new departure. The boldness /
isplayed in calling State convention one {
ay before the Republican convention meets |
as been the occasion of much comment.
olonel Jonas III. French, one of the leaders '
i the party, told reporter OF the Boston I
'ost that the old ruts must not be abandoned. b
he Democracy in Massachusetts, he said, 9
ad definite beliefs, and he hoped to see in ]
lie platform ga clear, sharp expression of I
pinion on the tariff and on civil-service re- s
,rm. The Democratic party cannot live on !
hat it has been; it must become the party v
progressive ideas We want to fight for o
wing principles. The past is dead, and no q
ne csres what party once believed in or L
nee did. Voters want 10 know what it is
'ing to do now; what its position is on the
uestions of to-day"
