The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1886-07-20

The BAzoo yesterday asked what
Mr.. Heard had done for his con-
stituency. Following are few Of his
official acts
He appointed his sworn enemy,
John ID. Russell, postmaster of Sc
dalia at the command of the Knights
of LabIr, not because he loved them,
for he says he does not, but because
he believed by so doing he would Sc
cure their vote for second term.
He appointed Mr.. White Of. the,
Warsaw Enterprise, railway pOstmssk
ter of the narrow gauge railroad, not
because he loved him, but because as
editor of the Enterprise, be had iop-
posed Mr.. HearPs election and he be-
lieved by appointing him he could
secure his editorial services in helping
him to second term and has done so.
1' He appointed Mr.. Alexander, of
Alexander township, Benton county,
postmaster. because the Warsaw
court house ring and Alexander's
many kinsman who had opposed
Heard's election before pledged them
selves 10 deliver the vote of Benton
comfy IN him for q second term If he
would do 50. - = -
He appointed John Han
nav, of the Versailles Ga
zette to government position in
Washington. D. c., because John
Hannay as editor of that paper had
opposed him in his campaign but
promised to support him for a second
term if he would give him the APP
pointment. '--,
He appointed Mr.. WALTON Of the
Howard County Advertiser, post
master at Fayette because Wal
don who had supported John
Cosgove against Mr.. Heard,
agreed to use his paper for Mr..
Heard for second term. 49,.
To be trief Mr.. Heard has made a
deal il every county in the Sixth diss
trict whereby he has secured from his
former opponents a pledge from one
or more of them to help him secure a
reelection and he's the support OF one
or more papers in each county BY the
appointment of their manager or some
friend with political influence who
opposed him before. Had Mr.. Heard
used the same energy to secure legis-
lation for the benefit of the people
that he has to secure the support OF
individuals for himself he would have
made a record that would have
given him an almost unanimous
vote. But he has neglected,
the people to look after Heard and
will do it again should he be reelected
by such questionable practices Ii
YOU desire congressman who believes
the people pay him to look after their
interests you cannot vote for Mr..
Heard. If you believe the people
elect and pay a congressman solely to
look after their individual interests
and to see that nobody else but them
selves shall be allowed to go 10 con-
gress then vote for Tricky John Trim
mer, the boss Yankee of the west.

Judge w. S Shirk returned thanks
for the compliment conferred upon
him by the convention, stating that
he considered it great honor to be
selected to preside over the dellbera'
ton of any republican convention. de
said that he considered a Pettis county
convention a truly representatye
BODY of Missouri republicans. He
thought that, although there Is dem

harmonious action of this convention

would have an excellent lighting
chance for ultimate victory. 1t can
nidates were placed in nomination

and who would uphold the officers In
their efforts to enforce law and order,

riOus.

The republicans of Pettis county
assembled Monday in delegate con-
vention, for the purpose of nominal:
ing candidates for the various county
Offices. The time set for the assemb-
ling of the convention was ten o'clock,
and at that hour quite a number OF
the faithful were assembled at the

crowd as was present at the demo
crates convention, although quite a
number of interested spectators were
present in the criminal court room
sometime prior to the hour appointed
for the convention.
The enthusiastic politicians and
faithful het chmen of the republican
party, were busy hustling around to
ascertain if delegations were
present from the various townships. L
was discovered that while meetings
had not been held in all Of the town.
ships, yet those who had the interest
of the party at heart, had delegated
themselves and were on hand to take
part in the deliberations of the con-
vention.
There was no particular manifesto
ton of enthusiasm, but there seemed
to be a certain earnestness manifested
which indicates that the republicans
propose to make an energetic effort to
elect at least portion of the county
ticket. It is said to be the largest
county republican convention which
has assembled In Sedalia for
many years, every township being
represented. The proceedings were
quite harmonious throughout.
