berry fair.
i, IS reported thai the invitation

The Jim Boy wing OF the
democracy have carried things just
"leetle' too far this year.

Wilbur F. Storey, the proprietor

hopelessly inbecilc. A sad ending

of the democracy to bear down so

The democracy OF Kirksville
are hard up for grievance. so much
so that fictitious grievance is greeted
as godsend and nursed and coddled
accordingly.
- The n. Y. Lndebendent was un-
able to stand the strong meat of
democracy any longer. 1t ilatly re-
fuses to go any further in its support OF
Cleveland. See extract in this issue.
-Democrats affect to sneer at the
suggestion that Missouri might 90
against Marmaduke at the November
election; but they are getting scared
up over the signs Of wide spread disaf-
fiction in nearly every portion Of the
state.
The, Chicago TiJNnc at the
close of long article reviewing the
resent situation of affairs in Missouri
says "Wlth harmony in the ranks CT
the opposition. and long pull and a
strong pull and a pull all together, Mis-
sour may be saved"
Remember the call for a repub.
lican Mass meeting to elect delegates
to the State convention to be held in
this place next Saturday. Every men,
ter Of the County Central Committee
ought also be present in order that
final action can be taken for the prima-
y election which comes off on the 9th
Of next month.
The Soldiers Campfire and
re union promises to be one of the
greatest gatherings ever assembled in
kirksville, second only to the great re-
union OF four years ago. 1t is conf
IDENTITY expected that fully twenty thou
sand people will be here to take part.
We hope all visitors from the territory
Immediately surrounding Kirksville
will come not only prepared with am
pie provisions for themselves but with
some to spare for their friends and
Others less fortunate, so that there may
be no lack of fsupplies.
--One may wonder much that
managers of fair associations should
desire to draw a crowd through a NOR
bid curiosity to see "Frank James"
but when he is rendered an "ovation"
as he was at Boonville, last week, and
given a purse by his open admirers
and in every way treated as hero
and martyr it is enough to disgust
every right thinking, law.abiding citi-
zen in the state. No wonder Missouri
has bad name abroad. 1t is time
we had "a change" and republican
victory this fall, would be worth a mil.
lion dollars to the state and help wipe
out the lafamy so unjustly placed upon
the fairest section of our broad union.
The Republican State conven-
ton has been called to meet in Mober-
ly on Tuesday, Sept. 9th, which, is
also, we believe the day on which the
Moberly fair opens. Inasmuch as
the Moberly association has, through its
officers seen fit to make Frank James
one of the chief attractions OF the oc.
casion we second the Glo6c-D c-Dem0eyafs,
suggestion that the place of meeting
be changed, and We would suggest
Kirksville as proper substitute. We
could assure the Republicans of the
