To the Z titor of the LEDGER.
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 23, 'S6.--DEAR
SIR: l noticed by your daily Issue
of September %, a card from Sam
Turner, a part of which is far from
being the facts in the case. We met
July II, pursuant to the call OF the
Democratic Central Committee. The
house was called to order aud a
chairman elected. Then after a sec'y
and two tellers were elected. Mr..
Turner and Mr.. Graham we're put in
nomination for delegat.s. Mr.. Tur-
ner received twenty votes aud MIR.
Graham fifteen. The chairman then
declared Mr.. Turner the delegate.
A vote was then taken for represen-
tative, which resulted in eis hteen
votes for Byrns, fifteen for Clay and
three for Locke. Mr.. Graham then
made a motion that the delegate he
instructed as the vote stood, first for
| Byrns and second for Clay, which
motion was seconded by Mr.. LATE
Newklrk. 1t was then put to the
house and carried by a vote of % to
Is. There was no necessity for any
more balloting for representative.
think Mr.. Turner voted for the mo-
ton. Before the meeting adjourned
the minutes were read. If Mr.. Tur.
ner did not consider himself boun'
by the instructions why was he not
man enough t. say so then and
there? MFR. Turner says that Locke
would have been second ch ,ice.
How did Mr.. Turner ascertain those
facts, there being but IL bailo
taken, and then the ballot on the mo
ton as stated before. Mr.. Turner.
defence is too thin. 1 think mos
everybody will agree with Mr.. Tur
: ner. he does deserve credit 70
paying his honest debts. If MI
} Tnrner or any one else wants proc
3 of the above it can be furnished.

MEXiC0'S ENTERPRISES.
URBAN wsIMER's CIGAR FACTORY

URBAN wEIMER's CIGAR FACTORY
Ranks among the leading institutions
of the kind in North Missouri. 1t is
with a great deal of pride that We
claim Mr.. Weimer al one of our
citizens, and his factory as II Of our
leading enterprises. During MIR.
Weimer's three years residence III
our city, he has established a most
enviable reputation for himself and
for his cigars. Mr.. Weimer manu-
features at present two leading
hrands-La Carolina and Weimer's
Signature-the former a 10 cent. and
the latter Il ) cent cigar, both OF
which have the name of being the
'best made" These brands are just
ly termed by many, the smokers
idols having the finest natural
| favors and luxuriant roma known.
Both of these brands are very popur
lar, to say the least, his factory being
continually taxed beyond its capacity
to supply the demand, which is con-
| stantly on the increase. Besides
these two leading brands, he manu-
features a number of others, and Is
prepared to make at all times cigars
to order, at prices ranging from S25
to S75 per thousand. He now keeps
employed nine men, all union cigar
makers, who work under the eight
hour rule. To say Mr.. Weimer's
factory is a benefit to II city, would
be putting it very mild. He pays to
his employees over 800 per week,
nearly every dollar of which is spent
in this city, as all the men employed
live here. Mr.. Weimer has met with
encouragement at home, as at thirty
light places of business his goods
can be found ON sale, the merchants
approaching the fact that it pays to
patronize home industry. Besides
his sales at home, Mr.. Weimer sells
his cigars to the merchants in the
adjacent towns and villages, some Of
them going as far from Mexico as
Denver, Colorado. Since January
l, 1886, Mr.. Weimer hiss paid about
$1,000 to the United States govern
ment in revenue. Though still a
young nan MI. Weimer has had
eighteen years experience in the cigar
manufacturing business, and at the
age of twenty was manager OF a fac
tory in Orb. Germany, employing l6O
men. Eighteen years experience in
different parts of the world will GER.
tainly give a man a thorough knowl'
edge of the tobacco trade of the
i globe. Since introduced, the Sigma.
, ture and La Carolina cigars. have
s given universal satisfaction, and the
demand for them is constantly in
creasing. Mr.. Weimer Is well known
as a thorough gentleman, and a re
liable business man, and during hi:
three years residence in our city has
established a reputation which no one
could but envy.

Feeling the Strain.

Correspondence describing the
unique canvas of the Taylor brothers
in Tennessee reveals the fact that
even thls unusual bond of brotherIy
love is feeling tue strain of political
antagonism.
Alf, the Republican, has accused
his brother Bob of ingratitude in en-
tering the Gubernatorial race after
him, and emphasized his complaint
by saying: Il would never have en-
tered The race had he been nominal
ed first" If priority Of nomination
is to count for so much in a matter
of this sort, there will be no way to
keep the conditions equal and the
brotlieriy feeling good, except to call
the conventions on the same day and
nominate the brothers at the same
moment on the stroke Of an electro
clock. 1t ought to reconcile Alf tc
tue situation, however, to reflect that
if Bob had not accepted the nomina'
ton some other good Democrat
would have been pitted against him
The Governorship could not go to
Republican by default simply because
| A1f autarp5 tho raon fret Won't 7
be better Oh the whole, to have it ir

1t is pleasant to know that frater
nal relations we're resumed soon afte

the fact that a strain exists is becom
ing evident, and it shows that office

THE TALK OF SOCIETY.
"A Well Known Leader OF London
Society Called tO Mind.


NEW YORK, June 26.-The arrival in
the United States of Mr.. and Mrs. Ritchie
naturally calls to mind the younger Gays
OF her mother, for Mrs. Richie is
daughter Of the well-knOwn leader in Ion
don socitey, Mrs. Peter Lorillard Ronalds.
Mrs. Ronalds' great musical talent has an
international reputation, and Mrs. Ritonie
inherlts much OF her mothers genius In
this direction. Old Peter Lorillard, the
first OF that name, was the grandfather OF
Mrs. Richie. She Is also cousin OF
Laura COnkling, n niece of Roscoe Conk-
ling. Years ago Mrs. Ronalds was the
famous Boston beauty, Mrs. Fannie Car
ter. She had a clear white complexion
and chestnut brown hair, while her sister
Josephine was decided blonde. Their
picture, when just budding into woman
hood, with their arms wound around each
other, still hangs I'm the Boston Athenmum
OF Art. Josephine Carter afterward died
IN Paris, in the height OF her success and
beauty. Fannie became Mrs. Ronaids.
She was greatly admired abroad. and held
as beauty the place now filed by Miss
Jennie Chamberlain. Mrs. R0nalds at
tracted great attention from Napoleon Ill.
At reception given at the Tuileries she
wore a tiny birds nest in her hair, and by
mechanical means a humming bird few
in and out OF the nest while his mate
quietly waited for him. She was always
surprising people with these odd devices.
Once, years ago, at fancy fair held In
Boston, Mrs. Ronalds, then Fannie Car
ter, had charge OF table flied with bon
bons and candies. A strange gentleman
took up a large sugar "kiss," Of a variety
made in Salem, Mass, and called, for
what reason | am at a loss to know,
'Salem Gibraltars." "What are thesef"
sald the gentleman, holding one up.
'They are sugar KISSES" replied Miss
Carter, '25 cents apiece" "Ah," said the
gentleman, II would giveas many dol
lars for kiss from you" "Done," said
Miss Carter. "It is in the cause Of
charity" She then came from behind the
stall and gave him q good smack. The
gentleman promptly paid his $25, which
she as readily turned over TO the treasurer
OF the charity.
Mrs. Richie, while attractive, is not
as beautiful as her mother. All the old
friends OF her mother, both in New York
aud Boston, and the Isorillard families
are desir0us OF entertaining Mr.. and Mrs.
Ritchle, and they have started on a round
OF pleasure. They will soon leave for New
port.
Some one asked Miss Agnes Folsom, the
singer. the other day, why, IL she was
Mrs. Grover Cleveland's cousin, she was
not mentioned in Grandfather FOlsOm's
WHIP In her reply she gave the real re-
lationship. 1t seems their fathers only
were cousins, Miss Agnes Folsom being
of the Maine branch Of the family. Mrs.
ClevelanPs grandfather was only grand
uncle TO Miss Agnes Folsom. However,
there is quite resemblance between the
two young ladies, who are about the same
age, although the relationship is so slight,
q. r. Ii,
