EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-A careful re-
view Of the democratic vote of Jackson coun-
ty, at the primary. reveals The fact that Hon.
W. Ii. Wallace Is the choice of that county
for congress in this district, he having recciv-
ed some 800 more votes than his opponents.
In case Mr.. Wallace Is not nominated, 1t will
be setting at naught the will of u large mnjor-
lty OF his party In the county which controls
the district, aud is not this d wise and good
selection. Mr.. Wallace IL u native born citi-
zen of this district, and one fthe most prom.
ising young men In Missouri. reared upon

In clearing the lands of Jackson county, It
Is no that could and would truly aud honest-
ly represent the agricultural Interests of our
district. You who know him can truthfully
say that he has the will and the nerve TO do
that which he believes to be right. Mr. WAL
lace Is not a man to dodge and shirk import
ant trusts; he has shown thlsb by his very acts.
We want d representative In congress who
will stand by us in the great battle Joined
with the monOpOlies and high protectionists.
We want a man whose record will not have
to be explained; a man who will always be at
his post of duty. One who will not vote
away our money by the millions In pensions
to camp-followers, who never did service in
the army. A representative that cannot be
persuaded by the distillers' union to favor
them in the payment Of taxes, and put the
burden of tax upon honest industry and ag-
riculture. A man OF honest convictions, who
will not try to deceive you by false clap-trap
measures. or bills introduced that have no

LAFAYETTE COUNTY, DEMOCRAT,

OUR ROADS.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-I want to say
something about the wretched condition of
our county roads through your paper. But
let me say l am not one to throw the blame
upon our district overseers, for 1 know from
experience that they often have double the
work to do for their means and time allotted
them.
1 have learned to-day that individuals are
at work trying to MAKE the roads passable for
loaded wagons. 1 do think that whilst Lex
ington is doing all she can to build up the in-
terests of Lafayette county and make her
what she ought to be, the best county in the
state, that our county officials ought to use
every legitimate means to make our roads
safe and passable ut all seasons of the year.
Lexington has u right to ask this of her peo-
pie and Of the county. Why should our
country trade go to johnson county for want
of sufficient and safe roads to their own coun-
tv seat? Friends, one and all, this ought not
to be. Lexington wants all the trade that
belongs to her. and she mast haus 1t, If 1t does
cost a little extra money over and above what
Is now allowed. We ought to have good
roads from Lexington to all points in the
country, and 1t seems as if we will not get
them until the subject is ventilated through
the press. WATCH N WORK.

RESPONSE OF COL. CHILEs.

To T. S. McChesney, W. T. Cheatham and
others-Gentlemen: I find In the last issue
of this staunch old democratic paper, a COM
municatfon from you and addressed to me,
asking the fuse Of my name" for the import
ant position of Representative of Lafayette
county, in the next legislature. I most
cheerfully yield my consent to a request so
kindly and flatteringly presented. In doing
SO I am not only sensible of the honor you
would confer upon me, but of the full re-
sponslbility of the position now assumed, as
well as that which may follow as a sequence.
Hope, however, to be able to meet this re-
sponsibility IN whatever form it may be pre-
sented, and in such manner as may be salts
factory to you and honorable to myself.
THANK you, gentlemen, individually and
collectively, for the honor you have done me
In thus publicly calling attention to my name
In this connection.
And, in conclusion, allow me to express
the hope that the efforts of yourselves and
other democratic voters, to be made at the
primaries on Saturday next, may result in
the harmonious nomination of q full corps of
sound, capable, honest men for the several
offices within your gift. and thus add strength
and vigor to other nominations already made
by your fellow democrats, here and else
where. HENRY C. CHILEs.

The O%OLLHOTORSHIP.

EDITOR ENTHUSIASTICALLY this con.
centrated, simultaneous attack upon Judge
Harrison !? Why have the other candidates
for this office shaken hands and formed a
conclave TO cast their combined venom against
one man Tn only correct answer Is that
he Is foremost in the race. They seek by
united effort to injure him. But why not
fairlyr Why this miserable resort to wrong,
ridicule and unkind thrusts to tarnish his
character and strike down his good name i.
The response Is that fair dealing and sober
reason as to the canvass have failed to de-
ract from bis popularity.
Then again, why do these attacks come so
late In the day of this contest? Evidently In
order that the vote of the county may be
polled before Judge Harrison has an oppor-
tunity to make any defense.
But bis success in the conflict demands no
reply at his hands. His official record and
private character are a sufficient answer to
any reflections upon his energy, capacity or
Integrity. The people know that in urging his
claims he has resorted to no %dishonorable
means.
And now, Mr.. Editor, Notwithstanding the
vituperations of his enemies notwithstanding
their unfair o Of warfare; potwithstand-
Ing they have ceased to light other candidates
and hurl their fiery darts ut him; the Judge
Is stronger to-day than he has ever been be-
fore. He will come forth from the flames of
and calumny incident to this can

understanding with him as I have with

A WORD FROM FREEDOM.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-In the matter
Of III relationship, it Is being claimed by
partisans that the vote of Freedom township
will be cast almost solid for Mr.. Mountjoy.
A greater mistake never was made. The
people Of the township are opposed en- masse
to the undemocratic, unjust and bad policy OF
giving any mai q life tenure on office. The
fact Is the larger and better element of the
party in Freedom as elsewhere, are against
him. His opposition is somewhat divided
between his honorable and worthy opponents,
Messrs. Harrison and Chambers, with a few
scattering votes for Mr.. Beatty. The people
here would be perfectly satisfied with either
of these gentlemen just named, but they
realize that it is necessary to disregard
slight personal preferences and consolidate
upon the strongest man. Judge Harrison
has many personal friends in this township
who would be glad to confer any honor upon
him, but in this race many of them realize
that his hope is a forlorn one, and will vote
for DR.. Chambers as the most available man
to beat MIR. Mountjoy. FREEDOM.

printed on an extensive scale at Sara

WIN. q. WALLACE.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Hon. William
H. Wallace, of Independence, candidate for
congress, spoke to a large crowd of people last
night at the courthouse. Mr.. Wallace made
many friends by his manly and able manner
of presenting the great issues before the
American people. His speech was devoid OF
personal references to his opponents; was a
straightforward and magnificent presentation
of the great questions of the day. He showed
himself to be in thorough accord with the
great west, where he has been raised. and
whose interests he would defend and protect,
elected to congress.
MI. Wallace Is one of the ablest young men
of Missouri, and, II nominated and elected,
will make a brilliant representative of this
district. His voice will be heard In the coun-
Of the nation in defense Of equal justice
agricultural and western interests, and 1t will
be hard to find one more earnest and able to
our district or state, than VIM. H.

St.Louis Republican:-Senator Sher-
man is building a new and palatial
mansion near Mansfield, o. The esti-
mated cost Off is not given, but as the
senator has a long purse the cost is not
a matter O fmuch concern. Republican
statesmen do not allow their devotion
to their country to bring them to pow
erty. They always manage, in look
ing after the interests of the nation, not
to wholly forget their own. Clay,
Webster and Benton had a hard time
of it to get a living from their official
salaries, but Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Sherman
and the republican statesmen Of this
day manage to turn their official sala-
ries into fortunes of half a million each.
To those republicans who have con-
soled themselves with the belief that
the independent movement in the east
will not amount to much, the proceed
ings and speeches at the great meeting
in Brooklyn Tuesday night-must have
appeared sorely d~iscouraging. The
rush for places in the hall was so great
that only those who took pains to pro-
cure tickets could be admitted. Even
with this check the great auditorium
was filled to the doors. The enthusiasm
was commensurate to the crowd. Mr..
Schurz was cheered to the echo.

A Visit to Wonderland.
Our Correspondent Visits the big
Show.

Especial correspondence to the Intelligencer.l
DEAR Observation-Disclosures my letter
of last week, 1 must say that until yesterday
things in this locality ran rather smoothly,
not the least thing worthy of mention having
taken place and I actually think that the
jewellers in and about Louisiana would have
died from sheer inactivity were 1t not for the
fact that they were bouyed up by expectancy
and anticipation awaiting the advent Of the
biggest and best of all big shows, Sells Bros.'
Monster 80 Cage Menagerie and Great Four
klns Circus. For weeks the town has been
clad in regal holiday attire, gaudy colored
Autographs lining the shop windows and the
walls and fences, etc., everywhere one
looked.
Everybody went to the show yesterday and
last night, and everybody went home pleased.
L was informed by one Of the managers that
the date of the shows appearance in LeXing-
ton has been definitely settled and 1t will now
appear In your handsome city on Thursday,
August 2lst. so that l hasten to tell you what
j saw.
In the first place, on entering l was almost
carried by the crowd through the first of the
huge menaserie tents, containing Just q cages
OF living wild animals, and then into the see
ond tent containing 20 cages (their menagerIe
is so large that it requires a double tent; they
advertise so cages, but show in reality 53-
three more than advertised; l suppose that
they chose 50 because it Is an even lumber.
1t was, indeed, II splendid sight, and many
animals were to be seen which, 1 am certain
are not to be seen anywhere else, and which
will probably never be seen anywhere.
Splendid specimens of the giraffe family the
only ones, l am sure, now on exhibition; q
monster three-horned rhinoceros, the only
sacred elephant, and the largest of
giant elephants, We're to be seen as some of
the special features of the big show. The
greatest and most wonderful sight, however.
and one which completely eclipses everything
ever exhibited is the huge pair OF blood
sweating hippOpOtami-without any manner
OF doubt the only pair of their kind Oh exhi-
billion In the world. One thing which was
particularly pleasing was the fact that there
aoas more to be seen Mon avus adyerzised-
something very unusual with a circus. l find
that my limited space will not permit me to
give a detailed account, and so must close by
saying that it IL, all In all, the best 1 have
ever witnessed. l will run dOwn to LeXing-
ton on the 2lst of August to see the big show
again; there will be excursion trains from
this place, al reduced rates, the same as on
the show. JUsTUs.

A SPECIAL from Peekskill announces
authoritatiyely that Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher has decided to support Cleve-
land. General Horatio C. King, q
member of the Plymouth church, spent
last Wednesday evening with Mr..
Beecher, who is stopping at Peekskill.
General King had just returned from
Buffalo where he had gone at Mr..
Beecher's request to investigate libelous
stories circulated by an obscure news
paper about Governor Cleveland. The
result of the investigation was altogeth-
er favorable to the governor. MI.
Beecher, after expressing pleasure at
what he heard, declared his intention
of continuing to give his fullest support
to Mr.. Cleveland. In conversation SUBJ
s%equently, Mr.. Beecher said he had been
undergoing aiudicial process, but now
the clouds had broken away, and he
was beginning to understand that the
stories about Governor Cleveland are
untrue and vile ISLANDERS. "You can
say" he said, warmly, "that l expect
to brand those who have promulgated
these stories as blackmailers and liars,
for l now see the governor acted the
part of a man in the whole affair.
[ shall take the stump for him and
tell the people of the country that they
must elect him president. l shall en-
ter this campaign with an enthu-
siasm second only to that with which l
entered the war.

st. Louis Republican:-t'In view of
the paralyzing disclosures recently
made regarding the history of the Union
Pacific railroad, we are continually re-
minded of a campaign report which

it is declared that whenever he or Sem

legislation for the purpose of securing
payment of the governments claims
against the Pacific railroad, they were
sure to find James G. Blaine acting for
