HOPE FOR MISSOURI.

Strange as IL may seem, there are many who
believe that Missouri may swell the Republican
electoral vote in November, and give majority
e. the Hon. Nicholas Ford Mr.. Ford was nomi-
mated by the Republicans and by the Grcenback
party, and has been making very effective
canyass. man with n fine record, an excel
lent member of Congress-, and II merchant of un
doubted integrity, he was one of the Irish
arebels of 1913, and has been very widely
known to voters of that Nationality. His OPP
ponent, General Marmaduke. was not only II
rebel, but one Of the rebel guerias who dcvas-
tated the western part of the State 80 savagely
during the war. A great many Union Demo
Gratis refuse to support him, rs well rs many of
Irish nativity, while the Republicans, and all
other opponents of the Bourbon clique, appear
10 be heartily united upon Mr. Ford.
The electoral ticket has been divided so that
if the joint ticket succeeds part of the
electoral votes will be given to Mr.. Blaine.
The effort to redeem the State is not as hope
less as some may suppose. The majority for
Hancock in 1850 was only 19,907 in a total
vote of 397, 1000. At that time st. Louis gave
him n plurality, whereas the feeling now Is
such that shrewd observers believe that the ma
iorty for Ford will be not less than 10000 in
St. Louis In the western part of the State Il
great number of Democrats have declared for
Ford, and in nearly all the leading cities his
friends expect o majority. Apparently full
vote of the anti BourDOns would elect him, aud
it is hardly necessary TO say that such result
would be of incalcuabe value to the State.

4 CAMPAIGN OF DISHONEST PRETENCES.

The Nep- York Times would have the public
believe that it turned its back on the Republic
can party. not because il had become Demo-
cratic in its convictions and ASPIRATIONS but be-
cause it regarded Mr.. Cleveland as trust
worthy and aggressive administrative ref0rmcr,
and Mr.. Blame rs unworthy of confidence.
THE TRIBUNE has proved, by repeated quota
tons from The Times editorial page, that its re
gard for Cleveland is mere pretcnce and sham,
the truth being that within a year it has re-
peatedly denounced him to its readers as an
official utterly unworthy of the public con-
hdeDce. The Times really trust Cleveland :
Why, only year ago it pilloried him as:
political blind man; Of desperate hariihood;
authorizing great public robbery; man yielding
to political pressure man commenting himself TO tine
pablic distrust: willing TO swinile the States
creditors; man playing cheap and scurvy tricks; a
very low pricoi reformer; man backing an Infamous
political job for the onric hment Of political gang; a
man of humbIg political Iretensions; IA man making
nominations for considerations purely political; pre-
posterous Presidential csuddate pIrochia statesman
Ii is impossible in the nature of things that "a
paper which felt moved to apply such opprobri-
ous cpithets to Cleveland can put faith i'll Cleve
Land. People are entirely justified III conclud-
ing that The Times is advocating the election of
Cleveland out of its love for free trade, and its
malice for Blaine.
As for the Republican party, The Tines took
occasion just before the Republican National
Convention met this year TO show that it had
ceased to care picayunc for that organization.
Writing on the 26th of May, it referred to GER
tain delegates to Chicago who, in its opinion,
believed it would be "a good thing for the Re-
publican party to 40 out of commission for fonr
years" Commenting on this proposition To re-
tire the party, The Times said "worSe things
"might happen. Tho tinbcrs of the old ship
are ~ sound as ever. but it has been evident
for good many years that she ought 10 90 into
the dry-dook and get rid of her barnaces."
These arc not tho worls of Newspaper that
earnestly desUod the success of the Republicans
In the Presidential canvass of 1884. They are
the words Of u paper that was ready aud willing
to betray the Republican ticket, no matter who
might be nominated.

The most noteworthy part of DIR. Armitages re-

this city can register their names in order To
vote a week from next Tuesday. The duty OF
voting is one of the gravest duties that devolve

order to prevent frauds at the balot-box. 1t Is
therefore a duty only second to that of voting.
Even If YOU have not fully determined to go to
the polls on November 4, do not throw away
the privilege of going. The places where the
registration officers sit, together with the
boundaries of the election districts, are gwen

The Democrats continue to express their ex-
