not men in Mexico buy the hogs at

NOMINATE PHILLIPS.

While we do not reside in the fifth
congressional district, and hence are
not entitled to NEEDLE in its political
affairs, yet in common with other
Democrats in Missouri, we regret to
see so important a district, and a
district which is, and ought to be,
Democratic, represented IN Congress
by a Republican; and III common
with all good Democrats, we want to
see the district redeemed. Hence,
our suggestion will he pardoned by
all Democrats who have the interest
of the party at heart, and we have
no apologies to offer to others. If
the Democrats of the fifth district
want to succeed, let them nominate
Judge John F. Phillips, of the Kan
sas City Court of Appeals. In point
of ability, Judge Phillips is the peer
of any man in Missouri. As a lawyer,
he stands at the very head of the bar
of the West, as an advocate, he is even
equal 10 Senator Vest, while on the
stump, he is a terror to radical ora
tors. His high character as a man
and reputation as a lawyer are known
in every county in the state. He is
capable of making a national reputa-
ton. He can beat Maj. Warner or
any other Republican in the district.
He will properly represent the grand,
growing interests of the Gate City
district. Nominate him and his
election is a foregone conclusion.
