better newspaper if it did not have the

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch PROCESSES
to be democratic newspaper and yet
prints an editorial paragraph like this:
-"Tne republicans of the tenth dis
trict have nominated a respectable
Union veteran for congress. We know
of no reason why any republican should
vote against Col. Ledergerber, and we
may add that we know of no reason
why any citizen of any party should
vote for Martin Clardy" In what is
Martin Clardy less deserving of sup
port because he represents democratic
ideas than is any other democrat? las
it come to pass because the present edi-
tor OF the P-D is mugwump that the
paper has ceased to know why demo-
Grat should vote for q democrat?

The Post-Dispatch is entirely well
come to fight Mr.. Glover's battle in the
ninth district. In that battle we are
with it heart and soul. No matter
what may have been our preferences
before the nomination, if we had any,
which can cut no figure now, Mr..
Glover stands for democracy and for
the democratic party, and he is entitled
to the support of every democratic
newspaper and politician in Missouri.
The Post Dispatch does right to sup
port him; but 1t does wrong to print
false and baseless assertions regarding
the situation in the fifth district. There
is no schism or disturbance among
democrats of this district, and Senator
Vest had as much to do with Judge
Philips nomination as he had with the
abdication of Alexander of Bulgaria.
The Post Dispatch will do well, if it
has any fight with Senator Vest, to con-
fine it to him, and not to run a muck
against everyone who may have the
pleasure of his friendship. There is
such thing as political rabies.

Lexington weekly intelligencer., 1886-09-18
THE REUNION.

On next Tuesday, wednesday ana
Thursday, September 81, % and %,
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
battle of Lexington will be celebrated
in this city by grand reunion of Old
soldiers of both armies.
We print to-day vivid account of
the battle and cOntemporaneous events,
from the fertile and fervent pen of Col.
Richard II. Musser. 1t is written from
a southern standpoint, and in part re-
fleets upon the acts of certain Federal
troops in Jackson county. We should
have left that much of the account un-
printed, perhaps, except for two con-
siderations: ~ The time has passed
when soldiers upon either side Justify
all that was done by their comrades.
(2) The statements made, by vivid con-
trast, place in an honorable light the
name of James A. Mulligan.
A thorough gentleman and a true
soldier the commander of the Federal
forces in the battle which we are about
to celebrate defended his post with
perseverance and bravery, and only
yielded at last to overwhelming num-
bers and fortuitous circumstances
which no prescience upon his part
could have prevented.
When the blue and the gray shall
meet on the battle-fi field made sacred by
the blood of martyrs to convictions of
duty, there will be in their heart of
hearts no b:tternesses-neither upon
the one hand will the victor magnify
his deeds, nor upon the other will the
vanquished have aught to be ashamed.
True soldiers, unlike the demagogue,
not only respect the valor of foe
without whose bravery there could
have been no merit in their own deeds,
but they honor as we'll the motives
which lead patriots of whatever cause
to lay down their lives upon the altar
of their consciences.
1t is supposed by many persons that
soldiers reunions do more harm than
good, in intensifying and keeping alive
the war feeling. This may be true in
the extreme north or south, where
those present being all of one side
there may be tendency to vain glory
and boastful spirit; but we doubt
even this. In Missouri, where for
some years past soldiers of both armies
participate at reunions, nothing could
be farther from the truth. The cordial
good feeling engendered by these meet
ings; the pleasure which each finds in
forbearance, and in generous rivalry
to render proper credit to his former
foe bears the best of fruit, and has done
more to eliminate from politics the
animosities engendered by the war
than any and all other causes, except
perhaps the healing hand of time.
So, comrades, you who wore the
gray in 1861, either upon this field or
others, come to the reunion next
week. Let us do honor to battlefield
of which both sides may be proud; and
let us aid those who wore the blue to
make OF this celebration a memorable
and a successful event.
