Democratic Mistakes.

If the Democrats have done any
thing,.but make mistakes in this can
vass the public have failed to notice it.
They made a mistake when they
nominated an unknown man against
one of the best known men in the
country.
They made a mistake when they
announced that the '1rish might go
d-n EN-
They made a mistake when they
quarreled with John Kelly and invited
him to also, "blank him.
They made mistake when they
denied the Halpin scandal, then adj
mitted and explained it by an expla-
nation that didn't explain worth
shucks.
They made a mistake when they
hired Puck to caricature and black
guard the Irish.
They made a mistake when they
concluded that Pat wouldn't take his
shiIlalah and smash things IN return
for insults and Safeguarding.
They made a mistake when they
nominated a man for V1ce-President
who would stop in the middle of the
race and go TO ciphering whether it
would be better to take off the head of
the ticket and put him at the head.
They made a. mistake when they
supposed that they could cheat the
people on the tariff question, and "pal-
ter with them in a double sense" in re-
gard to it, and win.
They made mistake when they put
Morey Letter Barnum, Prince & Co.,
to run reform campaign.
They made mistake when they got
up that slanderous story about Mr.. and
Mrs. Blaine. For proof write Shoe
maker, Indianapolis Sentinel.
They made mistake when they
nominated Marmaduke to be beaten
by Ford.
Thus they have piled mistake upon
mistake all the way through. But the
people will put a full and final stop to
this blundering business. There is no
mistake about that anyhow.

Hon Nicho las Ford is making
splendid canvass for governor. Heis
speaking twice day. and is going d.
rectly to the homes of the people and
meeting voters face to face. Hundreds
of Democrats in Johnson, Cass, Bates,
Barton, Vern on, Moniteau, Cooper,
Saline and other counties below have
declared that they will vote for Ford
in preference to Marmaduke. The
same is true of Northeast and North
western Missouri. In the latter Mar
maduke's strength Is waning every
day. Ford will carry the Fourth con-
gressional district by 1000 majority
and the Third district will certainly
give him more than 1000 majority.
In the Thirteenth district he will have
not less than 5000 majority.
Mr.. Ford will carry all the leading
cities of the State over Marmaduke.
St. Louis will give him 10, 600 MAORI
ty; Jefferson City will give him 200;
Sedalia will give him about the same;
Warrensburg Is good for at least 200;
Kansas City ought to give him at least
1850; St. Joseph promises 1000
majority.

COLONEL Alex. Mcclure, the astuto
political sage of Pennsylvania recently
writes: Mr.. Tabor, the celebrated thir-
ty-days' Colorado Senator, is getting ready
to run for Governor of his state. To ac-
complish this result he is putting ont
money where he thinks il will do the
most good and is confident hat he will be
successful. 1t is also given out quite OPP
portunely that he has Just struck a pay
ing lead in a new mine. This will, no
doubt, tend to improve his chances with
the boys and enable him to make the con
test at the primaries somewhat more
lively than they might otherwise be. As
the Republicans lost Colombo by. a bad
nomination in 1882, it may be that they
are anxious to do the same thing this year,
and until they have become accustomed
to the process" The Democrats of the
Centennial State have honesty and mum.

after due investigation hold to the
opinion that the disease among cattle in a

disease, but that the maludy which aflicts
the cattle is the result of frozen feet and
@nostrils during the severe cold weather OF
the winter. The malady in Kansas,

section of the state, more nearly resem.
