should be satisfied with the same men,
and that they should elect the same
delegates; but other democrats might
not be, and they have the same right to
their views that we have to ours. In
a district as close and doubtful as is
this one we consider the action OF the
convention exceedingly unwise, as 1t
should be the desire of the party to
bind every democrat to the party by
a manifestly fair course, rather than to
ALLEVIATE anyone by action of doubtful
propriety or right. 1t may not reach the
ears of those who took part in the mat
ter as ii does ours, but we assure them
that there is much complaint, and
by some of the ablest and most stalwart
democrats in the county. Our cores
pondent's inquiry demanded of us that
we should frankly state our views upon
the matter, and we have endeavored to
do so, briefly.
There is still time for the congress
sional committee to rectify its error.
In no factious spirit, with no wish to
find fault, but sincerely desiring the
peace and harmony of the democratic
party and its success in November we
trust it may do so.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
To the People of the state of mis-.
souri,.

FELLOw.CITIZENS: The farmers and mer-
chants and shippers Of my county (Lafayette),
in their convention assembled on the l7th
day of July, 1886, voluntarily and without
my solicitation, instructed our delegates to
the state convention to vote for me for rail-
road commissioner They did so because they
know I am decidedly for lowering all rates
on all railroads in the state of Missouri, and
because l am for the people Is against the
railroads. and because 1 am largely interest
ed In coal mining, milling and grain. and
wants, Of a shipping public. and because nv
people think / have the ability and nerve and
will and qualifications to stand up squarely
and fairly for the people rs against the rail-
roads. Hence fer these and other reasons my
fellow-citizens want me for railroad commits
si0ner of the state of Missouri. l therefore, ON
these grounds, plsce myself before you and
announce myself as q candidate for railroad
commissioner for the state of Missouri, subject
to the nomination of the democratic party at
the state convention to meet In st. Louis on
the 18th day of August, 1886; and on this
platform ask the people Of all the counties in
the state to help to nominate and elect me,
assuring them II nominated and elected, my
time, my means, my energies, my all snail be
used toward lowering all rates on all rail-
roads in the state OF Missouri, and thus af-
fording relief and benefit to the now oppres-
sed people of every class. l shall not make
q personal canvass Of the state nor any part
of it. I introduce myself to you in this way
and refer you to any of my fellow -citiZens
here Lafayette county,, and ask your in
structions and your votes.

Not because it desires in any way t,

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

The county convention Of Lafayette
county, last Saturday, presented to the
state the name of Mr.. James G. Nc
Grew for railroad commissioner. There
are a great many worthy gentlemen
seeking this position, but Mr.. McGrew,
we believe, is the first who has been,
without solicitation upon his part,
without being in any sense a candidate,
nominated for the place by one OF the
most important counties in the state OF
Missouri.
MIR. McGrew was born in this city in
1876. His father was an enterprising
and very prominent merchant and
manufacturer of this section OF Mis-
souri,. Mr.. McGrew has been very sue
cessful in the coal business in Lafay-
cite and Ray counties, and has amassed
a handsome fortune. He has recently
also embarked extensively in the mill
ing business. He is, in consequence,
very much interested in the shipping OF
coal, grain and flour. In the course OF
his coal business he became involved
in a war for freight rates with the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, in which his
cause was that of every private coal
operator In Missouri. This contest re-
suited in a public investigation before
the state railroad commission, which
has 80 far proven fruitless, but which
attracted the attention of the entire
state to Mr.. McGrew and the justice of
his demands.
Mr.. McGrew is not a candidate be-
cause ofthe emoluments of the office He
does not need the salary. If he is nom
mated and elected it will be openly and
avowedly to fight the battles of the
people as against the railroads. He is
young, active, vigorous; with rare ex.
ecutive ability; a born fighter, and he
means what he says in his card of an
nouncement, that he will vote to cut
rates of freight right in two; that he
will so act if the power be given him
as to reduce the earnings of railroads
to a fair percentage upon their real
rather than upon their watered or fic'
titious value.
If the people of Missouri are in earn.
est in desiring to curtail the rapidly
growing power of railroad corpora.
tons, they will do we'll to lay aside any
mere personal preferences for men
any questions of locality; and make 6
platform on the railroad question by
electing to the position Mr.. James c
McGrew.

The Boonville Advertiser mistakenly

The Boonville Advertiser mistakenly
says:-"At Lafayette, where the chair
man of the democratic committee de-
clared the party had the 'ring-worm
and dry-rot.'" We assure the Adver-

cratic committee of this county never
used such an expression, and that, far
from being 80 pessimistic in his views,
he is quite the reverse. VIM. H.
Chiles, Esq, the gentleman in question.
