The Richmond, Ray county, DEM
ocrat says that the proper thing to
do would be for "Audrain to with
draw Hutton and go for Robinson"
The proper thing-the decent thing
for the Richmond Democrat to do
would be to keep it's nose out of other
peoples business.-Merieo mteUi-
gencer.
The same thing might be said of
an Iowa paper which is often quoted
by the hteHigencer in regard to the
congressional race.-Merico Ledger.
The "decent thing" the imported
editor of the Mexico InteUigencer
might have done, since its real editor
is the candidate from Audrain for
congress, was to have kept his fly
trap closed, and not made an ass of
himself by declaring that it is no.
body's business outside Of the dis
trict, who is selected for congress.
The editor of the Inteuigeacer may
be so wrapped up in his own vault,
ing ambition that he are nothing
about what the other c~ongressiona,
districts do-whether they elect re
publicans or democrats, able men, Oh
hay-fever-grannies who would do as
much good in congress as a stone
image. But the average democratic
editor who is not ~eternally hankerine
after Office thinks that he and hi
readers are deeply interested in tn
matter of selecting Missouri con
gressmen, no matter what distric
they hail from. Unfortunately tn
Democrat poked up the wrong anima
in the Seventh district congressiona
menagerie; had we suggested tina
Judge Robinson withdraw in favo
of editor Hutton, then our hose woul
have been "stuck" just to tickle tn
craving journalist. Unfortunately
for us, we are a warm friend and
former fellow-citizen of Judge Eliza
Robinson, and believe that he is th
ablest man in the race for congress
We shall continue to take an interes
in the congressional race, in not onl
the Seventh but every district in tn
state, for it is right and prope
Meanwhile we advise Col. Hutton |
rid himself of worms before the col
gressional convention meets agail

Out of the Race.

Special to the Republican
ST. CHARLES, Sept. 6.-Hon. A.
H. Edwards is out in q card announ-
cling his withdrawal from the Demo
cratic congressional contest in this
district. The contest for the delega.
ton from this county will now be be-
tween Messrs. r. HI. Norton and c.
E. Peers. Both have strong friends
here and the contest for the control
of the convention On the 18th inst,
will be a lively one.
From the above it will appear that
the race is now narrowing down. If
Audrain don't want Robinson she
will have a chance to give US Peers,
Norton or Crews. She just as well
make up her mind to do something
for the people Of the district want a
nomination made and they show very
clearly by counties which have nc
candidate who they do not want.
