H ELECTION LAW.
Following is the law governing elections:

FOliONlnS IL the INV governing eieCllOus .
Every male citizen of the United States,
and every male person of foreign birth. wh0
may have declared his intention TO become a
citizen of the United States according to law,
not less than one year nor more than hVe
years before he offers to vote. who is over the
age Of twentv-one years. possessing tine fol-
lowing o. publications., shall be entitled 10 vote
at all elections by the people: First. he shall
have resided in the state one year immediate
ly preceding the election at which he offers
to vote; second. he shall have resided in the
county, city or town where he shall offer to
vote. at least sixty days immediately preced-
ing the election md each Uoter SAaN C3te oaiy
az tie t0scastip an htcA he restless, or II an a
to0n or city, then an the ~etecticn district Mlre-
IN in ,ohich he resides provided, however. That
no officer, soldier or marine. IN the regular
army or navy of the United States, shall be
entitled to vote at any election in this state ;
and provided. further. that no person while
Kept at any poorhouse or other asylum at
pubic expense nor while confined in any
public prison, shall be entitled to vote at any
election under the laws of this stale; nor
shall any person convicted of felony or other
Infamous crime, or of a con-
nected with the exercise OF the right of suf-
frage. be permitted to vote at any election,
unless he shall have been granted a full par
don; and after Il second conviction of felony
or other nfamOu crime. or OF Il misdemeau-
or connected with the exercise of the right
of suffrage, he shall be forever excluded from
voting.
1t will be seen by this law that ar lien who
votes on his first papers must have procured
these papers one year before he offers to vote,
and that he cannot vote on them over five
years; that a voter must have been in the
state one year, and in the county, town or
city where he attempts to vote ut least sixty
days; and that a man cannot vote outside Of
the township where he resides.

voter at the primary election; he was a

voter at the primary election; he was a
candidate before it. How his attitude
strikes his friends may be illustrated
by what one of them said to us. He
remarked:-"l am glad you printed
that article about Frank Thomas | have
been his friend. l have voted for him
every time he was q candidate; but he
obtained my vote under false %pretenses
Il thought he was a democrat"
Suppose Mr.. Thomas had stated
before the primary election that
he intended to bolt the ticket
and vote for three or four repub-
licans, how many democratic votes
would he have received Not a
bakers dozen. Therefore, good faith
to the men who voted for him as a
democrat requires that he shall stand
by the nominees of his party, II of
whom he expected to be; in which
event, we should like to know if he
would now be opposing the election of
democratic nominees to office?
1t is true that the place to which Mr..
Thomas aspired was a very small one,
but the principle 10 the same. ASH it
were the governorship of the state.
We are much more sorry tor than
angry with Mr.. Thomas. His detection
is as foolish as it is wrong. He cal
accomplish nothing by it except to
ALLEVIATE many old friends for sake
of people who when they nave once
obtained his services will drop him as
they would the skin of a sucked
orange.

JUDeE

For member of congress from this
district the democratic party offers to
the people the name of Hon. John F.
Philips, a man of spotless personal in
tegrity, of scholarly attainments, Of
large experience in public affairs, and
of AZ warm aud generous a heart as
ever beat in mortal bosom; a dignifed
gentleman, a iurist who has reached
the supreme bench of the state, and
honored it with his legal eruditon and
incorruptible honesty.
His opponents have endeavored to
drag his name in the mire, but each
one of their false assertions has recoiled
upon them, and left Judge Philips moi
only ~scatheless, but with added lustel
to q name that it has been his pride
through life to keep free from blemlsh'
There are a thousand reasons why
democrats, with such q candidate.
should 90 to the polls next Tuesday
enthusiastic and earnest in their deter
mination to secure for him every vote
that they a fairly influence.
Upon every public question Judge
Philips is with the masses as against
the encroachments of the few. A dem.
ocrat after the original, pure meaning
of the word, aristocrscies of either
birth or money are repugnant to him
and from the monuments of European
splendor he looked through the tinsel
and the sensual to see in the recesses
Of his heart the beauty of an elevated
humanity in the land of his fathers; and
his apotheosis of the home in his speech
delivered in this city was not only the
grandest tribute to the efficacy OF
American liberty, but the noblest plea
for the working man that was ever
heard in Lexington.
Judge Philips is an orator and a
statesman. Opposed to him is a gen.
tleman who thinks %demagogy and buff
foonery is good enough for his audi
tors; who is mean enough to assert the
falsehood that Judge Philips draws his
mantle about him and shrinks away
from a workingman, when as a
matter of-fact no man could be
more their friend than he; a man who
could stoop to boast and gloat over
having done more in congress than Sem
ator Vest during the past session when
he knows that during nearly its entire
continuance the senator was upon a bed
of illness that his friends thought would
be his last. Whatever may be said of
Philips, no matter how hard blows he
strikes, and he knows how to fight, no
man will ever hear him make such mean
and demagogical attacks as these.
What must workingmen think OF the
estimate Major Warner puts upon their
intelligence when he resorts to such
stuff?
The men are before the people. One
is an orator and a statesman; the other
is a demagogue aud a politician. Dem
ocrats cannot hesitate between them,
and all sensible, conservative, steady
citizens who vote independently should
support Judge Philips, because he is
the ADLER and better man of the two.

W. B. STEELE.

There is probably no man in Latay-
cite county who is better known to It's
people than MIR. VIM. B. Steele, at
present county clerk, and the demo-
cratic nominee for reelection to that
office.
Mr.. Steele has been in Office
twelve wears. So far as his inclination
was concerned he was ready to step
down and out and give some other
good democrat a chance. He so stated
often. He is no fool. He does moi
think he Is the only man who can I'LL
the office, nor that the people owe him
the place but scores of democrats from
all parts of the county asked him to
again be a candidate. They led him to
believe that the desire was general and
he consented.
In his conduct of the Office he had
been faithful and fearless, a Chevalier
Bayard for the county's interests.
The tax dodgers he had forced TO pay
their share of taxation fought him with
savage emo Persons who had
~endeavored to wrong the county in
contracts opposed him. Bondholders
who had ~endeavored to get Skylock's
pound of flesh schemed against him.
Every enemy of the county who found
him like a watch dog barring his
way decried and reviIed him; and yet
against a bitter TRADE of calumny and
most vicious abuse he was nominated
by a good majority, over a very worthy
gentleman, lat a primary election which
polled the full vote of the democratic
party.
Many good democrats, who had not
a word of fault to find with the way he
discharged his duty, voted against him
because of his long tenure OF the office.
But with all true, loyal democrats, men
who love their party better than they
do their personal grievances, when The
majority spoke upon that point they
yielded a ready acquiescence.
Amidst all the bitterness of invective
that has beer hurled upon his devoted
head by malice aud partisan opposition
there has not been II person so bold
in vituperation and falsehood as to i'm
pugn his personal or official integrity.
Not only has MIR. Steele looked careful
" after the conduct OF others toward
the county, but he has been faithful in
his own pecuniary relations with it,
and he has returned to the county
treasury as excess of fees larger sums
yearly than has any county clerk in
Missouri in comparison with the re-
ceipts of his Office.
FEES RETURNED TO COUNTY TREASURY
Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1886-10-30

The people should remember, next
Tuesday, when they go to the polls, that
there are a few men in this county who
claim to be a privileged class in not
paying their full quota of taxes, and
they are making a special war upon
Mr.. Steele. They need to be rebuked
al the polls. Vote for Steele!

The following deserved compliment
to Col. WIN. R. Morrison appeared as
the leading editorial paragraph in the
Washington Post Monday morning:
"Every friend of revenue reform in the
country should put forth every effort
to secure the return of Congressman
Morrison of Illinois to the fifteenth COLI
gress. The Pennsylvania protection
lists are using money and expendlng
energy to influence the labor Die OF
his district against him, but it is believed
that the aborers out there are sufficient
-ly intelligent to know where their true
interests lie. After the defeat of a
dozen OF the tariff traitors within the
party, who helped to prevent the con-
sideration of revenue reform last win
ter, the leader of the house ought TO
come back with an increased majority
and the enthusiastic plaudits OF his
people," And he will. In spite of the
fact that the republican Legislature of
Illinois periodically tries to clergyman
der him out he is always elected wen
in a republican district, because he has
made it clear to his agricultural con-
stituency that it is unfair for New Eng
land and Pennsylvania manufacturing
lords to increase their already plethoric
wealth at the expense of the farmers OF
the west.

could have retained, but he has con-

Mr.. Steele is the nominee of the

man, and a competent officer. He has
been trusted aud is known to be

who have business with him, and ac-
commodating to all who seek informa-
ton He is a good clerk. He will
stand by the county in the remaining
bond litigation, as he has done IN the
past. No true democrat can vote
against him, and no republican

the county should do so.
