The Party in St. Louis.

Republicans of the rural dis
tricts have cause to be ashamed of
the condition of the party in st.
Louis. For years it has been split
into factions, and the distemper
seems to be growing no better.
Chauncey l. Filley, who is with
out doubt, the ablest organizer
in the party, or in the State, for
that matter, was controlling spirit
in the councils of the party, city
and State, but he was accused,
with what justice we will not un-
dertake to say, of being imperious,
arbitrary and selfish in his man
agement of party affairs, A bitter
warfare was inaugurated against
him and kept up relentlessly, until
he was deposed from a portion of
his authority, and for the sake of
harmony resigned the balance,
Notwithstanding this, the fight is
kept up against him by the Globe
Democrat and Evening Chronicle,
with the avowed purpose of driv-
ing him out of the party. This
we consider not only wrong, but
dlsgraceful. Party strength is
secured by pacification and COM
promise. Party weakness is al
ways the result of such policy as
that pursued by these city papers.
No party ever did or ever can
achieve success while striving to
drive from it its best men. It is
utterly useless for the party at
large to attempt to accomplish
success so long as this suicidal and
seemingly interminable wrangle
is kept up in st. Louis. If the
crushing down and out of Filley is
of more Importance to the Globe
Democrat, as it would seem to
consider it, than the establishment
of Republican principles in the
State, it can probably accomplish
it, for there is scarcely any limita.
ton to the power of this great pa.
per in the prrty. Not only does
it reach every neighborhood and
hamlet in the State but the in.
splration of a very large portion

At the Republican Congress

on Tuesday, Judge W. P. Harri-
son, of Hannibal, was chosen as
the Republican candidate for
Congress for this district. Viewed
from any stand point we regard
this as a most excellent nomina-

fair ability, high character, will
make an honorable canvass and

Mrs. Beecher says: "Let home
stand first, before all other thingsl
Mo mattefJhow high your am
bition may transcend its duties,
no matter how far your talents or
your influence may reach beyond
its doors, before everything else
build up true home! Be not it's
slave; be its minister! Let it not
be enough that it is swept and
garnished, that its silver is bril-
liant, that its food is delicious, but
feed the love in it, feed the truth
in it, feed thought and aspiration,
feed all charity and gentleness in
it. Then from its wall shall come
the true woman and true man,
who shall together rule and bless
the land" Is this an overwrought
picture? We think not. What
honor can be greater than to found
such a home? What dignity high
er than to reign it's undisputed
honored mistress? What is the
ability to speak from a public plat
form to large intelligent audiences,
or the wisdom that may command
a seat ON the judges bench, COM
pared to that which can insure
and preside over a true home, that
husband and children rise and
call her blessed?" To be the
guiding star, the ruling spirit in
such position is higher honor
than to rule an empire. "

FOR CoNSTBLE.
JACOB SHOLLY,

The organ fails to give
the Democratic ticket, nominated
last Saturday, as strong an in
dorsement as it did two years
ago. Almost as much change
as there is In Vest. 1t seems
that both have changed their vests
or had them severely pulled down.
While the Democrat and
Journal are quarreling and trying
to make the people believe that
they have nothing to do with each
other, it might interest the tax
payers, to have them explain how
it is that they published the Nor
NAL catalogues in partnership, and
got more Tor the work than the
Democrat hid called for.
Those who heard Senator
Vest speak in the Opera Hall in
this place, two years ago, will re-
member that he favored letting
the people decide for themselves
the question of prohibition. A
stupendous change seems to have
come over the man. Possibly the
eloquence of the est. 10 Gazette"
has had a terrifying effect upon
him.
Mr.. Tilden was not wholly
averse to matrimony. According
to the New York Mail and Express
he twice proposed marriage to
Miss Leila Morse, daughter of late
Prof. S. E. B. Morse, but the young
lady was not willing, though hel
family urged the match, and sub.
sequently married Mr.. Franz
kummell, the pianist. That Mr.
Tilden bore no malice was shown
by the fact that he sent check
for 1000 as his wedding present
Mr.. Higbee, in his remarks here
last Saturday said that Judge J.
W. Henry and Judge Andrew Ell.
lison were formely attorneys fol
the old North Missouri railroad
We are informed that this is moi
true. That neither Judge Henry,
nor Andrew Ellison were evel
local or general attorneys for the
railroad. The railroad candidate
for the circuit judgeship should
inform himself, and follow Mr.
Cleveland's adyice.--Macon Times
If the "Times" man knows an,
thing at all, there is no excuse fo,
his not knowing that Judge Henry
Judge Andrew Ellison, and Judge
James Ellison were all railroad
attorneys before they were ap
pointed or elected to Office. Mr.
Higbee is a railroad lawyer, bu
as before stated in tn ese column
he has no pets or brothers t,
"brace up in business, and tn
recognition of his ability as a law
yer by the railroad company i
only a recommendation. Th'
"Times" man should inform him
self and then tell the truth.
