Warsaw, Mo June 81 Special. This
section of the country is just now ablaze
with the fever heat of pOliti.s, and this
mornings news from Sedalia, as given IN
the BAZoo, has not tended to allay IL by
any means. OF course the avera polltl-
clan is in his glory, and the democratic
camp would be an eden of bliss TO their
leaders were it not for the fact that dis
sension has crept into their ranks, hence
the way they are pulling hair would excite
the envy of the champion Amazon and is
the delight of tie republican element,
which is the dominant power in this coun-
~.
The cause OF the rookery is the stimuli
taneous appearance OF the Heard and Cos
grove penants IN the field. Two weeks ago
the Heardites vi, wed the scene with calm
assurance. and DOTTED their hats IN obse-
auious obedience to their ensign bearer,
feeling assured the field was all their own
but within the past week the gallant
knight, Honest John, has invaded the do
main and now il is the turn OF the Heard
ties to look gloomy and respondent. With
his usual gallantry, Mr.. COsgroye has
driven the st el of his honest indignation
through and through the flimsy fabri; OF
their groundless assertions and empty
boasts, and his cohorts are rallyiug from
the best of the true and tried democracy
for the final contest next Monday.
Among other things his presence has
brought To light the facs a straight bar
gain and sale to Heard OF the vOt- OF the
, county for him in consideration OF the
postoffice appointments. For once and
wonder Mr.. Heard kept his word and
filled his part of the contract. But
now comes the difficulty in the
delivery of the goods purchased by
him. The better part OF the democracy
refused to be sold like cattle In the sham
bles, or to do the bidding OF the buses, who
are the seris of the eaI Knights Of Labor
Congressman, in spite of the protests that
refusal will subject the dear old party to
certain defeat in the county. For this
il is safe t. say old Benton will next
Saturday roll up live majority for honest
John CoSgroye.
al tell you" said an indignant Heard
lite to the BAzoOrTE, "every republican Is
for CoSgrove."
"That spt axis well for the excellent judg-
ment of the republicans" was the reply.
Mr.. Cosgroye was here yesterday and
made the wire pullerg take water, and In
recognition OF his victory he was last night
serenaded by the band, in spite OF a threat
by Heardites to boycott them if they did it.
Benton county is still following in the
footsteps of her sister, Pettis, in the matter
of talking railroads, and she also has a
courthouse boom. Several plans have
been submitted for $4,000 building, the
last to arrive being that of Geo. A. Mast
ers, of Sedalia, which was received to-dsy y.
Henry Berry, the bigamist, some time
since written up in the BAzoo, showed a
clean record before the Benton county Of
ficials Saturday by producing a certified
divorce from his wife, but has been taken
to Camden county on another case, and as
two live wives with families have been dis
covered in Texas, the chances are the five
times married Berry will yet manage to
break into the penitentiary before the cir
