Ben Butler in a card printed since
the election says:-'Last year l had
135, 900 votes. The largest vote ever
polled was in the Garfield election OF
1Ss0-Garfield 1861 900 Hancock 112,-
900, total 277 900. This year the vote
is $4,000, of which 1 have 1872 200.
This enormous increase has been caused
by the freest use Of money, fraud and
corruption by my opponents. More
votes have been cast than will be in
the next presidential year. The eight
or nine thousand plurality Of my oppo-
nent was more than lost in the city of
Boston. Massachusetts, is therefore
surely democratic, if l make another
state canvass without further gain.
When a man has increased the demo-
cratic vote from 112 900 to $4,000 in
three years, is there any need of an
answer to your question as to what my
programme will be 1 am pleased
with the result; had rather have my
vote than to be elected by $4,000. In
that case it would be said that Massa-
chusetts is a republican state; she has
a large reserve vote which in a presi-
dental election will come out. Now
we have had them all out and measured
them, and in the next presidential
election, with a judicious platform and
a popular nomination, at least we
keep all republican men and
money at home to take Of Butler, in
of sending both to Ohio and
Indiana to corrupt those states"
he announces himself a can
for governor in 1884.

A GARD FROM JUDGE LoOKHART.

To my Fellow Citizens II deem it due to my
self and my fellow-citizens that l should public
ly give the reasons that induced me to tender
my resignation as a member of the county court.
Most heartily thanking my friends for their sup
port In thP two elections in which l was the
reason for my resignation. that complications
and difficulties arose in the discharge OF my
official duties wholly unexpected and not ut all
anticipated by me when l consented to make
the race. Then unforeseen trouble owing to the
enfeebled condition of N own health and that
position simply impossible. Any further at.
tempt 10 discharge the duties OF the Office would
have demanded u sacrifice no less thun the abb
solute ruin OF my private business. the total
neglect ofmy family and the wreck OF my own
health, already impaired by prolonged illness.
These reasons. coupled with the honest convIc-
ton that one fully qualified to ucceptably fill
the position with Tar less risk OF private and
personal interests can he found. l deemed suf-
dcient to explain my conduct in the premises to
q thoughtful and generous constituency.
In conclusion. l expect to live in Lafayette
county. help bear the common burden, assist in
developing her resources, and stand by my fei-
lOw-citlzens in the darkest hours of peril, until
relief shall come, and prosperity once more
gladden. our hearts and homes.
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. LOCKHART.

county. Mo: Doctor ALFRED LEWIS Tow
LES. in the Goth year of his age. He leaves be-
nind him an afflicted widow and seven children
TO mourn his loss.
Doctor Towles was born near Lyme hburg, Va.
on the 18th day Of Nav 1917. His father, Mai.
Oliver rowles. died while he was - child. and
his early training dsvolved upon his mother,
who is spoken OF by those who know her as q
lady Of rare intelligence and exalted Christian
character. His grandfather was Col. Oliver
Towles. OF Spottsylvanla county. Va, an officer
Of the revolution, who is mentioned by WASH
ington in his correspondence as a gallant officer
and his personal friend. His mother belonged
TO one OF the historic families of Virginia, beng
the daughter of William Lewip, of the Sweet
Springs. a niece Of Col. Andrew Lewis, who
commanded the troops at the battle of Point
Pleasant, where he was killed and the near re.
lstion Of Lewis, who was the uri-
vate secretary OF President Jefferson, the leader
OF the expedition to explore the couatry be-
tween the Missouri river and tue Pacific Ocean.
and the first governor of Louisiana Territory.
Just then acquired from France.
DE-. Towles came from Virginia in 1912. and
settied In Saline county, whence he removed
curing the war 10 LaGranRe. He will long be
encountered by the people among whom he
lived 30 long, with affection and gratitude, He
WAS literally and truly the poor mans friend.
Not only were his professional services given
but his house was the home of the widow and
the orphan. They came there and lived there,
and some of them died there and were buried at
his charge. The news OF his death will bring
tears to the eyes of many q humble friend, who
while they live. will treasure the remembrance
Of his disInterested kindness, which was the
distinguishing trait OF his character. Alas! he
is gomez they who loved and honored him in
lie, Can only remember and initiate his virtues.
For her. so long his faithful and loving COM
panion, aud whose remaining journey through
life will be so lonely. We can only pray
''That He who stills the ravens clamorous nest.
AM decks the lily fair in flowery pride,
Would in the way His wisdom sees The best.
For her and her children dear provide,
But chiefly in their hearts with grace divine
preside"

of the taxpayers convention the people
of the county have the utmost conf

with Judge Lockhart from the bench
with the very best of feeling for him.and
with thanks for his past services. The
