Post:-"A democrat, a defeated
candidate at the recent primary, went
to a republican at Lexington last week
and announced that he "a anxious to
become an independent candidate for
the office which he had failed to secure.
He received no encouragement. If
we gave his name it would create a
sensation. For the present it is with
held" Why not name him? Maybe
it would not create much of a sensation
after all.

There is a very great difference be-
tween loyal and fair criticism of a par

critical fault-finding and misrepresen-
tation. The one is h%ealthfal, the other
is detrimental; the n is honest, the

The battle in Buchanan county is
over. 1t resulted in an overwhelming
victory for Senator Cockrell, and yet
Maj. Edwards, who has been fighting
him vi ct arms, puts behind him the
quarrels of the campaign and cries
aloud to his followers, "Fall in!" 1t

Senator Cockrell, while attending to
his duties at Washington City, received
a majority for reelection, in Lafayette
county, of 1886, and for this he is call
ed a boss. Because 1927 democrats in
this county wanted him for senator,
and only 391 wanted the next highest
man he is a big boss, and all Of his
friends are little bosses. Truly, this is
the very insanity OF prejudice.

Suppose over 700 republicans did
vote at the democratic primary in this

0FFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.

William Hyde has been confirmed as
postmaster.
Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1886-07-31

The head and front of the war upon
Senator Cockrell has been the st.
Joseph Gazette, edited by Major Ed
wards. That paper has been on the
ground and has been u%nsparing in its
warfare; Senator Cockrell has been in
Washington City attending faithfully to
the duties for which he vas elected;
he has said neither yea nor nay to the
attacks upon him; and yet when the
democrats vote upon the question in
Buchanan county Senator Cockrell re-
ceives 1888 votes to $50 for the next
highest man. This, naturally, to a
sensible man like Major Edwards, ends
the war, and the Gazette Loyalty comes
out now in support of the Cockrell
nominees to the Legislature. 1t says:
Therefore, above everything else
should the democrats of this county
quit their quarreling; heal their
breaches if there are any to heal; unite
upon principle by subordinating The
grievances Of defeated or disappointed
aspirants, and elect every nan on the
ticket nominated for the legislature
Now, that sounds like a democrat who
loves his party, aud we commend the
sentiment to other gentlemen who have
tried to down Senator Cockrell and
| have failed.

Gen. Cockrell won a sweeping victo.
~ among the democratic voters OF
Buchanan county at the primary cleo
ton there, last Saturday. The vote
stood: Cockrell, 1873; Sherwood, $50
Carter, 11S; Thoroughman, 200. The
nominee for state senator, NJ. G. Moran,
and the nominees for representatives,
w. s. Wells, DR.. Donelan and w. H.
Haynes, are all o Cockrell. Thii
about settles the fight against the sena'
tors reelection.

upon county clerks. Quite a number
are still outstanding. The statement
for st. Louis city alone shows that for

were licensed 1850 dram shops, the
state taxes ON which amounted to
$S7 COS, while the city collected from
this source for the same time the sum
of $763, 769, making the total taxes

The Herald has failed, up to this
time, to adduce any evidence of its ALE
cations of fraud in the primary; it has
taken no steps to satisfy the committee
that its. complaints are anything more
than the result of disappointment of its
individual desires, and the committee
therefore has nothing to act upon. We
are satisfied that the gentlemen of the
committee look upon the primary as
having been as fair and honest as it
is possible to make an election of that
kind. Consequently the primary will
stand as the action of the party. 1t is
tar enough along in the campaign, we
should say, to ask the Herald to define
its position. Does it propose to sup
port the democratic ticket or to fight
it? We ask this question politely and in
no factious spirit. 1t is now nearly
two months since the primary election,
and the Herald has not yet hoisted the
ticket. 1t is only fair that its contem-
poraries should know whether it is one
of these or one of those. 1t cannot ex-
pect to be treated like a friend if il con.
tinues to act the part of a Cossack
sulking in his tent.

any wise committed to railroads and

people is more free from that sort of

not know how many individuals con-

VIZ are glad once more to see the St.
Joseph Gazette among the newspapers
which defend the democratic party. 1t
has been waging q bitter war against
Senator Cockrell, and incidentally
against everybody who supported the
senator for re- election. When Major
Edwards goes into a fight, even within
the party, he goes in barehanded and
he strikes the hardest blows he knows
how. Sometimes these blows may be
unfair, as in attributing intolerance to
the friends Of Senator Cockrell. but
when the battle is over the major drops
it, and goes to work for the democratic
party with renewed and increased
vigor, and we commend his editorial
.'Fall in!" to those democrats who dc
not seem to know where personal de
sires should give way to party fealty,

Sedalia special to Kansas City Times:
t'Judge Theodore Brace of Paris, was in
this city to-day, calling on the demo-
cratic politicians and old friends and
preparing for the democratic conven :
ton to elect delegates to the state con-
vention to be held August ID. He has
quite a following in this county in his
race for the nomination for supreme
judge, but the party leaders say that the
Hon. Alexander Martin will ecure the
delegation. Judge Henry is out of the
race so far as Pettis county is concern
ed. For railroad commissioner, Nc
Grew appears to be in the lead and will
probably secure the delegation"
