Missouri Politics-John B. Henderson a
Candidate For Governor.

SduulGate + or Governor,
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, August l8,-Ross
Gullin, Assistant United States Attorney
at Kansas City, is making tour of South
west Missouri under orders of his chief,
Major Warner, chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee His mission
is to visit the leaders in the different
counties and work up boom for General
John b. Henderson as the Republican
candidate for Governor. 1t appears
that Ex-Governor Charles Z. Johnson has
informed members of the Republican
State Central Committee that under no
circumstances will he run against General
Marmaduke, and that they must look
elsewhere for their candidate. Major
Warner has been looking over the field,
and has come TO the conclusion that
General Henderson is the strongest can
didate, and Immediately started out his
assistant, MIR, Gutiin, to work up
A HENDERSON BOOM.
Mr.. Gunn's argument to the Repub-
licans here was this: "henderson is the
best stump speaker in the State, and if he
gets the nomination for Governor he has
promised Major Warner to make thor
ough canvass of the State. Beside, he is
popular with the Democrats and business
men, and will receive at least 10000
Democratic votes, which, with full
party vote and with the aid of Green
hackers, will defeat Marmaduke. Even
should he not be able to defeat Marina
duke, with a vigorous canvass the anti
Bourbon elements might control the Leg
stature and reward Henderson by elect
ing him TO succeed Vest"
WANTS TO GO ABROAD.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Guttin said
that General Henderson, even with little
hope of success, was anxious to make
canvass as it would strengthen his
chances for foreign appointment under
Blaine. He also intimated that Chaun-
cey |. Filley would not object to Hender-
son. Mr.. Gullln's trip here was rather
successful and Henderson will probably
get large support from southwest Mis-
souri,. There is some objection to Hen
| derson among the stalwart Republicans,
and Nicholas Ford is preferred to him.
Some Republicans say Ford IS a
! better Republican than Henderson. Cuff
| Tin argued that that was one reason why
! he should be nominated, as he would be
all the more popular with the Democrats
| 1t was also learned from Mr.. Guiiin that
Major Warner had just completed an es-
innate of the vote in this State, which
shows there has been large immigra-
ton in this State, and that u large per-
centage has been Republican, SO that the
Democratic majority is not nearly so
large as is supposed.
FRIEND OF HENDERSON TALKS.
General Henderson is at Saratoga, but
a gentleman who has Conversed with
him on the subject of race for Gov
ernor, said he did not believe the Cen
eral would accept nomination. He is
too careful of his foreign mission to risk
heavy defeat, as he recognizes that
the Democratic party is united in the
State, while it would be next to an
impossibility to harmonic the Republi'
cans.
