Suppose over 700 republicans d'd II
vote at the democratic primary in this Il
county, and the assertion is ~nonsensical "
and untrue, what difference would that p
make as to Senator Cockrell? Even with
these eliminated he would have 1900 81
votes to 391 for his highest competitor. y
There is a very great difference be- 2
tween loyal and fair criticism OF a par =
tvs acts by its members, in the inter- =
est of fairness and right, and hyper :,
critical f%ault-fnding and misrepresen- ;.
tstion. The one is healthful, the other :
ia detrimental; the one is honest, the :
other is dishonest. :.

Gen. Cockrell won a sweeping victo. =
ry among the democratic voters Of u
Buchanan county at the primary cleo :
ton there, last Saturday. The vote
stood: Cockrell, 1888; Sherwood, $50; 2
Carter, 11s; T~horoughman, 200. The .
nominee for state senator, NJ. G. Moran, i
and the nominees for representatives, {
w. s. Wells, DIR. Donelan and w. H. {
Haynes, are all tor Cockrell. This '
about settles the fight against the sena- '
tors reelection. l.
The battle in Buchanan county is |
over. 1t resulted in an overwhelming L
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 |
is the old military call. 1t mean dis
cipline; it means organization; it
means serried ranks for democracy. 1t
means victory in November. We print

Last Monday evening the republi-
can senators assembled in caucus in the I
judiciary committee room. The COM
mittee appointed at the caucus at Sena- j
tor Sherman's house to outline q sub
stitute for the Morrison surplus resolu-
ton made its report, recommending
that the minimum reserve be fixed at
4110,OO0 900 and the maximum at
$780, 00, 900. A proviso was added
authorizing the president to suspend
the operation of the resolution on
emergencies. (
Independence Sentinel: -"Judging /.
from the howl republican politicians
are raising over the vetoes of a batch
of pension bills by the president one
would never suppooe that those same
fellows have had sixteen years of COL
den opportunity for %pensioning not on
ly every man, woman and child con-
nected with the Union side of the late
war, but even the barefooted small
boys who stubbed their toes while
hustling out to a military parade by
the home guard"
