0meial ssDemoerotic Organ.n

Our friend John F. Mounts, who is ed
iting our contemporary while its editor
makes his usual race for Office,
writing for his paper in Iowa says
he is going to Mexico to "edit the Demo-
cratic organ of the 18th Missouri Congress
sional district" Wonder on what
grounds he claims the Fog Horn to be
the organ. There are good Democratic
papers in every county in the district
equally worthy to be called the organ,
and we notice that when the state print
ing was distributed this season it was
given to several papers in the district, but
the "organ" was ignored, the commits
sioners giving it to the LEDGER instead OF
the Fog Horn. So without going out Of
the county wen our contemporary is not
the organ. Can it be that its editor il
running for office on the strength of con-
Quoting the organ of the district? Sew.
eral worthy papers in the district will b.

Milk In The Cocoa.

The LEDGER has always been for
Buckner. The people of Audrain
have always been for Buckner.
Buckner has always been and is now
worthy the support Of the party for
any office in the gift of the people Of
the United States. If he had an
nounced a little earlier he would have
been nominated for Governor without
any trouble, and may be yet. If
Marmaauke is not nominated on the
first ballot Buckner will be Governor.
The joke of the whole matter is
that for 10 these many years when the
LEDGER and the people have been ap-
preeisting and supporting Buekner
a certain ''fog horn" Of this city did
not find out there was such a man as
Buckner in the world. Now Buck.
ner comes out for Governor. The
editor of the "fog horn" comes to
the surface as usual for Congress.
The "fog horn' begins to blow and
tell the people about Judge Bucknel
things they have read in the LEDGER
years ago and appreciate fully as
much as the man who never sees any
good in any one until be gets out Of
his way. The people are for Buck
ner for Governor on his merits. They
will be for a man for Congress on the
same grounds. There will be nc
tieing on or swapping allowed. Buck
ner at least would c~ountenance moth
ing Of this kind.

We see some squibs and Jokes in
our exchanges about Audrain having
a candidate for Senate, Congress, OF
something of the kind. We had a
candidate for Senate but he with.
drew. The LEDGER generally keeps
posted on the news, and as a usual
thing we are informed when Audrain
has Il candidate for any Office. II
Audrain has a candidate for Congress
We know nothing of the matter and
we presume will remain in blissful
ignorance. Audrain has just had the
Office twelve years and we don't
think will ask 1t again.

Tilden's Letter.

There is apparently a great diversity OF
opinion concerning Tilden's letter of de:
clination. Some hold that it is a plain re.
fusal to rum, Others claim that it means
nothing except that he does not want the
office. If Tilden will run he can be NOM
mated by reclamation, but in our opinion
he is not the kind of a man to write al
ambiguous letter at this stage of tht
game, but meant just what he said.

CONVENTION.
Hardin's Opinion OF Tilden's Letter..
Everybody For the Old Ticket.

Salt River democrats met in con-
vention last Saturday to select ten
delegates to county convention which
met here yesterday to elect dele
gates to st. Louis convention, to send
delegates to Chicago convention, to
nominate S. j. Tilden the next presi-
dent of the United States. j. M.
Gordon called meeting to order. C.
II. Hardin was called to the chair.
j. F. Llewellyn was elected secretary.
The following delegates five from
town and five from county were
elected: W. W. Fry, D. D. Wood
ward, ]. F. Llewellyn, j. n. Cor
don, Z. NJ. Lakeland, Wood Maddox,
Chas. Powell, C. II. Hardin, j. W.
Luckie, R.. NJ. Price.
Every time Tilden's name was
mentioned it was received with ap-
plause /; as was the nam Of Ex-Gov-
ernor C. II. Hardin when endorsed as
suggested by the LEDGER three weeks
since for delegate at large. The
convention was harmonious, and the
business at the meeting promptly at
tended to.
Wick Mason introduced the fol.
lowing resolutions, which were unan.
imously adopted amidst great ap-
plause:
Resolved: That Ex-Governor C.
H. Hardin Is the choice of this con.
vention for one of the delegates al
large to the Chicago convention.
Resolved: That our delegates
vote to instruct delegates to Chicago
to vote for the old ticket, Tilden and
Hendricks, so long as it is before th,
Chicago convention.
]. F. Llewellyn then introduced
the following resolution which wa:
heartily endorsed:
Resolved: We denounce the pres
ent tariff as q master piece of injus
tice, inequality, and false pretence
and We desire only such candidate
as are warmly in favor of tariff re
form.
On motion of r. n. White. Ex-Gov
ernor c. H. Hardin gave the conven'
ton his opinion of Tilden's letter il
about the following language:
II we were to judge of Mr.. Tilden'
letter from the remarks and com
ments of the press. the conclusion
would necessarily be that it vas
declination, but as you have aske'
my views of it l will say that l an
not astonished at it. 1t is just sucl
a letter as that great man might hav'
been expected to write. As We
there has been no authorized cal
made upon him. l look upon Mr.
Tilden as of strong and sound intel
lect and find abundant proof of it II
the letter he has written. Mr.. Til
den is war of the great pressur
{ that is brought upon President
in these days of Office seeking
When Gen. Harrison was electe'
everybody insisted upon shakin
hands with him, and his arm had t
; be bandaged and withheld. If Nj
Tilden is elected, and if he is nomi
mated he will be elected, there will b
1O0,0 900 Office seekers after him i'm
mediately. This is what Mr.. Tide
/ shirks from. As far as cabine
meetings, message writing, ~consults
tons, and public men and commit
tees, and advisory suggestions &C
| he is abundantly strong for that sol
of work. There is nothing in hi
> letter to justify belief that he wi
not accept if he IS nominated.
don't see how Mr.. Tllden coul
have done more than he has done
5 and I trust that everybody that goe
to Chicago will vote for him. (Lou
and continued applause.)

Robinson For Congress.

About the only argument we have
heard yet why Robinson should
not be sent to Congress, is that he
makes too good a circuit judge to be
taken from the bench. According
to all the rules of logic, if he
were unfit for judge, these same
gentlemen would insist that he
should go to Congress.-Vandalia
