EDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY, APRIL IT, 1888

cratic mistakes have defeated democratic
nominees Tor the presidency, how will any
representative republican account for the
overthrow OF Grantism, the election OF
Tiiden, the last overwhelming defeat i'm
Ohio, Indiana, New York and California,
and the overwhelming majority in the next
house OF representatives? III democratic
mistakes will do all this, feel very much
As George the Third felt when some courtier
came TO him and protested against the
sending Of Wolfe to Canada. He is mad,
your majesty, and not fit to command an
expedition Half bewildered and half
idiotic, the plethOric old king blurled out:
"Mad-msd-Wolfe mad? Iwish TO God
he would bite some of my other generals"
If democratic mistakes do what / have al
ready told you that they have done, ought
not every true democrat i'm the land to pray
for multitude OF such mistakes between
now and 1882"
WHO is the coming man in your party,
senatOr?"
Mcdonald, of Indiana, think. He is
! q pure, able, clean, unobjectionahle man,
with no enemies in his own party, and no
snimosi,ies to heal or feuds to settle. Then
again he comes from the right section Re-
graphically speaking. Then again he is
as sireng in the east as he is IN the west.
Then again he can carry his own state
sgsinst the field"
"Whavabout Tilden?"
81 hear that Mr.. Tilden has renewed his
youth As it were, and is now hale and
hearty. sincerely hope that this is So.
H.. is splendid organizer and an inval-
liable leader. There is no ADLER democrat
in all the land than he is"
And General Hancock"
"He is very strong in the south. Indeed,
the southern people have great love fOr
Hancock. They feel grateful 10 him for
his course after the war, and gratitude with
these people means great deal"
And Hendricks"
"You may very safely say that Hendricks
will not be a candidate"
"Who will Re the candidate of the re-
putlicans. senatOr?'
Arthur, undoubtedly He is a much
ADLER man than he ever had credit for be-
ing. As politician, he has few su-
periOrs in the country. Then, just consider
Tor moment what immense power he has.
Over one hundred thousand office holders
owe their bread, meat and wages TO him.
He is the head OF the nation, the ruler over
59,000,O0O of people. Give any man OF or
uinary common sense the office of presi-
dent, and if he DOES not re-nominaie HIM
self it will be because he does not care for
the denomination. Yes, Arthuris the COM
ing man, and he knows and feels it. So
do his friends, and SO do his enemies also.
Ii will be bitter fight, however; but Arthur
will win.

The whole town and county want to see

Il have to 60 on through to Topeka,
Kansas, on important legal business i
will be back, however, by Thursday, and
remain in Sedalia good long time"
Have you read the prOnunciamento of
the prohibitionists?
"Oh, yes! Life is mighty short, but
have managed 10 read il"
what do you think of the document ?"
"A mere tumble OF words and glitter
ing generalities. The people of Missouri
do not want prohibition, do not mean to
have it, and are not asking for it. As for
the arraignment this vindictive scfeed
makes of the democratic party, that was to
have been expected. The democratic party
has been fighting every internal issue, cum-
bination and aggregation vi renegades, de-
serters, and fanatics for nearly an hundred
years. Look at the long list. federalism.
Black Republicanism, Know Nethingism,
Prescription, Reconstruction roconsulism,
Greenbackism, and now comes up again the
spawn of Maine, Iowa and Kansas, called
Prohibition. 1t will 60 the way the balance of
all the enemies OF democracy-die . dogs
Gesth and be carried to the pottsr's field.
W hen you are dead, and am dead, and our
children's children are dead, the democrat
ic party will be making still its one long,
devoted, unchanging, memorable fight for
home rule, states rights, personal liberty,
and the constitution of the fathers"
"Whst of the high license laws?"
have neither studied it nor sought to
investigate its workings. 1t does not 60

works we'll in Nebrasks. We can only tell
of its workings here after We have seen
something OF them"
"Will it serve in any manner to appease
the prohititionists?"
Not in the least. II will only whet
their appetites. Like raw meat to tigers
cub, it will only make them the more raw
enous."
"How will you pass the simmer? Are
you going on any pleasure excursions ?"
Indeed / am not. / am going to settle
down to hard work. am going back to
the Law with renewed energy"
Here the warning cry Of "sll aboard"
rang out clear and shrill, and the reporter
hurried away just in the middle OF another
important question.
What Has Happened Before Will
Happen Again.
The event has occurred again. IL was
