How to Elect Congressional Delegates

The st. Charles Cosmos gives .
graphic account Of the st. Charles
Congressional convention. The dele
gates were instructed for Edwards.
Norton is their second choice, OF at
least the claimed second choice Of
the county. A friend OF Norton thus
addressed the convention:
MI. j. II. Daniel was the first to
catch the speakers eye. He evident
ly feared that township rights were
in danger as his remarks then, and
subsequently, proved. He said he
had no objection to Mr.. Edwards re-
ceiving the hearty endorsement Of
the convention for Congress. In
deed he was for Edwards first, last
and all the time; but he objected to
the method of selecting the delegates
who were to represent him at Mont
gomery City. There were certain
things to be considered; should it b.
discovered that Mr.. Edwards could
not receive the nomination then thu
several townships might have a SECOND
choice and it would be proper TO
their delegates to represent the voic'
of their respective townships. II
did not believe that any one maj
had a right to arrange a list of dele
gates. 1t must be arranged by tn
townships themselves. He represent
ed the banner township Of st. Charlie
county. Take away the Democrat
vote Of Cuivre and Dardenne town
ships and he knew where the vote Q
the county would be. The conven
ton should GO back to the origins

, by townships. Mr.. Daniels said th
, townships asked some. voice in tn
matter. The convention was the Sci

Norton as Second Choice,

Norton's friends want no second
choice in Audrain. No, of course
not. This is what Norton said at the
st. Charles Congressional conven-
ton as CLEANED from the st. Charles
Cosmos about second choice in tina;
county. His views differ when it
comes to different counties:
Mr.. Norton then rose to address
the audience and was received with
much applause. He said he only de.
sired to make q brief explanation.
Col. Jimmy Edwards was mistaken
as to his having said he wanted nc
second choice. He never so e1.
pressed himself as to the delegation
from Lincoln county.

Col. T. W. B. Crews, Of Franklin
county, spoke to a large audience Of
democrats Wednesday evening at the
court house. He, in a very dignifed
and gentlemanly manner, announced
the fact that he is a candidate for
Congress with the vote OF his own
county at bis back, after which he en-
tered upon a thorough discussion of
the political issues of the day. He
was followed by N. c. Dryden, of
Lincoln county, a kinsman of Col.
Hutton, who is travelling over the dis
trict in the interest of the candidacy of
Hon. r. II. Norton, his law partner,
of the same place. He made a per-
sonal attack upon Judge Robinson
and denounced his candidacy in very
evere terms. Dryden is an able and
terse speaker and handles sophistry
as artfully as a three-card monte-man
a deck of cards. His strong opposi-
ton to Robinson is under-pinned
with a desire to see his friend Norton
get the nomination for Congress, and
because he knows Robinson is the
strongest candidate in the field
against his man. "Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad

They Den,t Pu9 themselves.

We notice all over the State, whore
editors are candidates for Office, their
own papers take no part in the boom

Lesueur and Jake Chiids- This Is
commendable modesty.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1884-07-31

The communications received al
this Office against the "Home Candi.
date" for Congress have been con.
signed to the waste basket. In the
first place, the LEDGER publishes nc
personal attacks without giving the
name of the author; in the second
place, if you want to vent your spleen
you cannot use us to do it. This is
a political and not a personal fight,
as some would lead the public to
think.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1884-07-31
The People Want HIM.

1t is thought by some that Judge
Robinson will have considerable OPP
position in the convention-possibly
a great deal more than either of thu
other candidates-because he is re
garded as the strongest man in the
race. What has made him the favor
ites The one simple fact alone thai
the people want him for their repre-
sentative, and all the combination
and schemers in christendom canno'
keep him out of the nomination.

Pike and Audraln Counties.

4
This paper is not disposed to quar-
rel over the claims OF the various
candidates for congressional recog-
milton. 1t wants to be fair and just
to all. But when VIC zee seven or
eight gentlemen all pooling their is
sues to defeat one man-Judge Elijah
Robinson of Pike county-we have
a right to enter our protest; and the
means by which it is proposed to ac-
complish it ought to and will arouse
the Indignation Of every fair-minded
Democrat in this county. Let Judge
Robinson be defeated fairly and his
friends will not murmur. For nearly
twelve years this county has stood
shoulder to shoulder with Audrain
for her " countyman for Congress,
and that too on two occasions when
she had her own candidates in the
field. 1t stood by Gov. Hardin when
he asked the nomination for the great
Office which he so acceptably filed.
1t stood by Audrain when her gifted
son, Hon. D. H. Mcintyre, asked for
the Office which he now so ably fills.
1t stood by her lamented Carroll
when he vas before the state conven-
ton for a high and honorable Office.
1t has always stood by her. In re-
turn she has asked nothing at Aud
rains hands until now. Shall she ask
in vain :? Will Audrain county suffer
her hands to be tied against Pixies
nominee Judge Robinson? These
) are questions to be answered by the
| fair minded Democrats of Audrair
on the 2nd of August. Col. Huttor
is a most excellent gentleman whom
l we highly respect and esteem, but b.
ought not to suffer himself to be uset
1 simply to divert his own county from
? Judge Robinson in obedience to
few men, who scruple not at tn
' means to attain their purpose, with
out the shadow of a hope of success
a himself. Col. Hutton must see thi
himself. He cannot be blind to til
real purpose Of the men who urge
% his entrance into the canvass. ]
was hatched out in this city long be
: fore the primary election in this coun
! ty but kept in allegiance until afte
that event. We have kept siler

be untrue to truth, untrue to th
Democrats of this county, untrue
O ourselves and untrue to fair dealin
l. as between gentlemen. We might g
is on and give the details of the circun
70 stances which induced Col. Hutton I
enter the race, where and by whol
it was first suggested and the motive
which actuated those engaged in II
,r but it could serve no good purpos

If Hutton was not let into the secre,
1t would not do to tell him why the
wanted him to come into the canvass
It would spoil the broth. We ca
only beg of Audrain to act wisel
and not suffer her hands to be tie
too tightly.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1884-07-31

We are glad to see our contempora-
~ opposed to abusing candidates l..
We were certain it was making q mis-.
take when it abused a gentleman
lately spoken Of by MS friends as q
candidate for mayor and also in its
remarks rejecting on General Mar
maduke-both unwarranted and un-
called for attacks.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1884-07-31

One of tie silliest arguments ever
used against a candidate for office is
put forth daily by the editor of the
Inteligencer against Judge Robinson:
HE should resign before offering
himself for a higher office" Did
Gov. Hardin resign his seat in the
State Senate until he had received
the nomination for Governor! Did
Mr.. Cleveland resign the office OF
Governor of New York before he re.
ceived the nomination at the hands oi
the Democracy for President Die
Hon. A. 81. Buckner give up his Office
as Congressman when he offered him
self for Governor, lately? It ough'
to be consistent just once, for tn
paper supported the two latter nam
ed gentlemen. And, then, HE is too
good a Judge; We can't afford to lie
him 60 off the bench" The Conyen
ton to nominate O candidate TO
Congress is not called upon to decid'
who is the best Judge this judicia
circuit ever had. 1t is called to de
eide who is the best man before
for Congress. Who ever heard of
man being too good a man or to-
good a Judge to be promoted?
Mexico weekly ledger., 1884-07-31

There may be q difference of opin-
ion in Audrain about who should be
nominated, but after the nomination
the party in this county win be solid
for the nominee, no matter what his
name may be. That is the kind Of
Democracy we are Justly proud of.
