A Good County Deserves a Good Rep
resentative.
Correspondence OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 16.-There Is
no more important position to be-
filed in the coming election than that
of Representative. In the excite
ment attendant upon the scramble
for the more lucrative county offices,
the people often forget the import
ance attached to this office and neg
lect their bounden duty to provide a
good and capable man to represent
them in the State Legislature. The
consequence is, that many odious
laws are placed upon our statute
books and allowed to remain there
simply through q want Of vigilance
on the part OF the people Then lie
us now, in the beginning of the can
vass. look over the field of prospec
tive candidates and carefully scrutin
ize the claims and qualifications o
/ each, and select, if possible, a mai
who combines all the elements nee
essary to make a tirst-class Represen
~tative for Audrain in the Thirty
, fourth General Assembly. There j
one already prominently spoken c
, in this connection, who, l conceive
! possesses a peculiar fitness for TIN
position, and that is Mr.. b. Z. CAT
: thorn. He has been a resident of tn
: county from infancy, has filed som
s of the most important offices in I'll
| county, is we'll acquainted with ii
people, the needs and resources
Audrain. For several years past
0 have been in a position to kno
O whereof I speak when l assert thi
J he is a high minded Christian gentl'
man, a thorough business man, P"
sessed of fine executive ability, ca
tions, but yet liberal and progressi'
}, in anything that tends to the create
10 welfare of our citizens, and in ever
way we'll qualified to guard the int
ests of the people of Audrain. He
q lifelong Democrat and as sui
, will come before the nominating co
- vention of that party, and l am co
- fident that we cannot do honor to

lose him any of his valuable and ex
tensive practice. He is already hea'
over heels at work with renewed
yigor and to that extent is happy
Devoted to his profession rs he Is
he can be no happier than in a c!osS
fight for a client and the harder h
has to work to win the more he ap
pears to enjoy it. The next cour
will find the Judge at his post an

again be heard before u tribunal G

velopments. Opening prices showed
little or no changes from last evening,
and there was an advance during the
first hour. The movement in the last
hour was without special feature, and
final dealings displayed some tirmness,
the market closing about steady and gen.
