gressional convention met in Sedalia.
The convention nominated Col. L. L.
Crittenden on the Goth ballot, and
declared the nominee by the presi-
dent, DIR. s. II. Saunders.
JOHN t. HEARD KICKS.
The present candidate for congress
from this county, John I. Heard,
commenced TO kick vigorously against
the regular nominee, Col. Crittenden,
and did a vast amount of talking
about the perfdy, deceit and ingrati-
tude of Col Crittenden. At that
time Sedalia had democratic club of
which the late Col. Thos. Monroe
was president.
CLUB MEETING.
On the evening of the 18th of Sep
TENDER, the club was in session. In
the Sedalia Democrat of Sept. II the
following is report of the club meet
ing.
"JOhn T. Heard addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Heard said he was
unaware (?) of the intention of the
meeting, but he supposed that any
thing for the good of The party would
be in order. You are all familiar
with the topic of the day, the con-
gressiOnsl convention that recently
met in this city. You all know as
well as / that it was a species of un-
fairness and injustice in which none
of us will readily acquiese Those who
defeated Col. Philips worked vigor
ously and silently, and accomplished
the results you well know. As to the
action of Lay and Owens you well
know them. These two gentlemen
have nothing to do with the subject
now, as they are completely out of the
race. Col. Crittenden, / fear from
the circumstances so plainly surround
ing the case, has been only too willing
an instrument in this combination"
Col. Crittenden was notified by
Lay, Belch & Co. that he was nomi-
mated. i DO NOT RECOGNIZE
THAT HE WAS NOMINATED;
and / hold that NO DEMOCRAT
is BOUND To SUPPORT HIM
from party fealty and when / do vote
for Col. Crittenden it will be when he
is the known nominee of the deme-
cratic party-a fact that / do not re-
cOgnize at this time"
HEARD IN THIS COUNTY STRING UP
STRIFE.
ut is not the little soreness" con-
tinune1 Mr.. Heard" that prevades
the democratic body Tolitic of which
the Jefferson City folks talk, that is
prevailing here. / have been in
country to-day, Sept. II, 1876. and
have heard declarations from numer-
Gus democrats who will never stand
by that convention. | have no obiec-
tons to Crittepden, but the manner
in which he permitted himself to be
a willing instrument for unholy party
81 am for democratic nominees so
long as they are bonorably and fairly
made. | consider every democrat as
.BSOLVED FROM VOTING FOR
ANY DEMOCRAT WHO OBJ
TAINS HIS NOMINATION BY
FRAUD"
The Sedalia Democrat in endorsing
he nomination of Col. Crittenden,
aid:
THE admirable spirit which Col.
Crittenden has displayed over the,
disagreement of the late
convention, has COM
nended him to all democrats" |
Except Johnny Trim who wanted,
10 doubt, to bury the nominee in the
asst ditch to carry out his own hatred
or the nominee.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Heard's OPP
osition Crittenden carried Pettis
ounty at the November election by
majority of 70S, few hundred more
han Johnny Trim carried it in 1884.
Now, let Mr.. Heard, or any of his
riends dare to pronounce the above
campaign lie. These words, from
is own lips, quoted in his own mouth,
iece the Sedalia Democrat.
