Present.

Special Dispatch TO the Ledger.
ST. Louis, Aug. 1S.-The Demo
cratic State Convention was called to
order at 10 O'Clock this morning at
the large Exposition hall, from where
this special is sent. Thousands of
people are present and excitement
runs high, the main interest being
conferred i'll the Supreme Judgeship,
The friends of each candidate are in
thusiastic and hopeful for his man,
while the best of feeling prevails
everywhere. There was considerable
caucusing done early this morning
and last night, with what result can
not o be known.
Ex-Goy. Phelps was made tempo
rary chairman, after which Congress-
man Dockery was called to the chair
permanently. The outlook is bright
for Brace, Coleman and perhaps
Breathitt.
Senator Vest made n grand speech
this afternoon-one of the finest
efforts of his life.
Portraits of Tilden, Hendricks and
Cleveland grace the rostrum, which
is beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion.
All the noted politicians in the
state are present, and Senator Vest
was conspicuous a al occupant of
one Of the %proscenium boxes. Tom
Bashaw thinks Judge Brace is the
coming Supreme Judge, while Joe
Hickey is equally sanguine of Judge
Henry's success. He says the race
is between Henry and Brace. Ed.
Silver is for Martin.
The following delegates from Au-
drain arrived on the early train this
morning: j. II. Minor, c. G.. Daniel,
D.. S. Hit, A. B. Medley, G. I. Mar
tin, j. 5. Hanna, NJ. L. Raftery, j.

Mexico Politicians.
From the Vandalla Leader

FROM the ' aludild Le;HItf-
The Eandalia Leader is a Democritic
paper first, last and all the time"
and it wishes to see harmony ana good
feeling prevail in the party in every
township The mere fact that a few
disappointed otiice-seekers in Salt River
township failed to carry their point at
the convention on the 10Th is no reason
why the party should Ego back on ATS
action to please these few defeated
parties. The delegates from every school
district were respectively instruct
ed according to the wishes of their con
%stituents, but after two frora Salt River
had violated their Instructions it was
deemed necessary, in orCer to preserve
harmony in the party to withdraw the
prominent candidates Tor the Legisla-
ture. Judge Greed Carter was placed in
nomination and received a majority of
the delegated vote. He was not a dark
horse. His name was not previously
known n the fight. He was placed in
nomiaation by one Of his own township
friends without any previous fore
thought or instruction. He secured the
nomination and is fairly and justly en-
titled to the support of the Democracy
of this county. So far as Vandalia is
concerned land we believe the whole of
the Eastern District,) we will poll our
undivided vote for him. Indeed, we are
inclined to the belief that he will not
loose fifty votes, let who may, Demo-
crat or Republican, be brought ont
against him.
Tuesday of this week Frank Efigore
of Mexico, was in our town, having in
his pocket, so we were informed, a
petition gotten up by certain Mexico
politicians, asking the Democracy of
the county to throw aside the action of
the convention so far as represen-
tative was concerned and resubmit the
question to the people. Mr.. kiigore re-
ceived such small encouragement from
the Democracy here that he didnot ask
a single man to sign it, and he went
back to Mexico with the knowledge that
Nandalia will not countenance any
such trickery. Our people will certainly
vote for him unless he voluntarily
Withdraws.

PLAIN talk is what knocks. There
is no use of mouthing around about
the matter at all. There is no trouble
in the Democratic party of Audrain
at all. Less than q score Of soreheads
are kicking because they could not
name the nominees, and are trying to
leave the impression all the time that
they are desiring to harmonic a rup-
ture in the party. In the meantime
they are holding dark lantern meet
ings and doing all they can to break
up the Democratic party in this
county.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-08-19

InE editor OF the LetsIligencer has
at last stammered out a halfway denial
OF The statement made by this paper
and the Nandalia Leadef that he is
really for Norton and not for Hutton,
or course he can afford now, since he
failed in his efforts to get his dark
lantern schemes through the recent
county convention, to make u sort of
denial, for Il denial of treachery to
Hutton is a denial as we'll of the per
tidiouS schemes he had on foot before
the honest Democracy of Audrain
county consigned him to the eternal
throes Of political damnation. 1t is
of not much consequence, however,
whom he Is supporting for congress.
for it is exceedingly doubtful if his
weight in any direction will ever be
noticed. The only object i'll calling
the attention of the people to his real
position is simply to let them know
that he cannot be depended upon,
and would march them into the Nor
ton camp, if trusted. We cheerfullv
accord TO the editor of the M
.tediyencer the perfect right to support
Mr.. Norton or anyone else he pleases
for congress or any other Office. He
has a. perfect right to support what
mea and measures are agreeable to
his tastes and liking, but what we OBJ
ject to and condemn is his trying to
fool his readers by pretending to be
for n when he is working under
hand for another.

he says Carter was nominated fairly.
He prays long and fervently every

COOK M HUTTON.

The IafeIigencer brands the editors
OF the Nandalia Leade,. and Mexico
LEDGER as Judas Iscariots" and
"lickspittles.' This is pleasant this
warm weather. The point in con-
troversy is whether the editor Of the
inteHtgencer is honestly for Hutton
and the editors Of the LeGder. and
LEDGER dishonesty for him. The
delegates are elected and are above
being controlled by either Cook,
Dodge or White. SO the result Of the
controversy amounts to nothing. The
editor Of the LEDGER is on record as
to his position. The Leuder is able
to take care OF itself, and now We will
copy from the Lnteulgeacer Of Thurs
day morning, aug. 18th, which gives
Mr.. Cooks position from his own
utteranca. He says in an editorial
of that date: ''IHe editor of This

ect., etc. Two years ago 5. Is. Cook
claimed to be for c. L. Peers, and

was instructed for him.
If Cook is for Hutton now like he
was for Peers two years ago and
could get into the convention and
had any influence, according to his
own statement, some one else (Nog-
tony would get there. One OF the
Audrain delegates told US shat Cook
was false to Peers two years ago, but
we did not believe It. Now, then, if
any more reasons are wanted for cur
that Cook is for Hutton now, /;
as he was for Peers two years ago. we
are loaded to the muzzle. Cook is

ALL THIS talk about one or two pol
iticisns in Mexico carrying the Catho-

is not a political organization it can
not be bought and sold any more

ton. Every Catholic as we'll as every

who went in to the convention except,
perhaps, q few soreheads who live in
Mexico, will support the entire ticket.

MUSIC and ART unrlyaled in the West.
In the department OF Music we have added the
name of HERMAN SHIRMACHER, who is
unquestionahly the most talented musician and
most successful teacher | have ever known.
The following exalted tribute TO his splendid
talents, paid him by Pres. Cox, of the southern
Female College, will be endorsed by hundreds
of young ladies throughout the South who have
enjoyed the advantages of his superior training I:
PROF. Shirmacher Is a graduate of the Musical
Conservatory OF Leipsic, Germany, and was Tor
years a pupil OF the great masters, Mendel-
ssohn, David, Richter, Plaidy and Boelme.
For modest worth, for splendid attainments
in music, for patient, untiring energy, he has
no superior, and his success during his five Year,
connection with the college is without a paraI-
lei in this country"
The only two premiums for best performance
on piano-forte by pupils of any female college.
at the Stale Far In Atlanta Gal IN H10 were
