 MIR. STARTS CoRNET.
 Leader Spary of Colts band seems to have hard luck with his comets. About year ago he lost an instrument in the river and is now mourning the loss of another cornet. Tuesday afternoon young man called at the leaders house and told Mrs. Spary that he had been sent there by her husband for his cornet, as he had been called upon to take charge of the opera house orchestra. Mrs. Spary believed the young mans story and gave him the instrument. He has not been seen since and it is believed he has made good his escape. The instrument was worth $60.-Hartford Telegram.

A STRANGE FIND AT WATCH HILL.

Two human legs were washed ashore at Watch Hill on Monday. No body has yet been found. On each leg was heavy boot reaching above the knee. The legs had been disjointed at the thighs and from one the muscles had been torn away above the knee. The legs evidently belonged to large, pow erful man. The remains were buried,

SAILING TOWNSHIP, July 3, 1885,
In 1874 U. II. Owings, Franklin Hart
and myself were the delegates from
Sailing township to the Audrain Dem
ocratic county convention. That
year Chas. II. Hardin, F. M. Cock
rell and Norman j. Colman were the
aspirants for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. BY the action OF
the county convention eight delegates
were chosen to represent Audrain
county in the state convention and
were chosen by the delegates from
the respective townships. Sailing
township was entitled to n delegate
and We chose Mr.. r.. p. Hopkins as
the delegate from our township, and
according to a resolution OF the
county convention giving us power
so to do we instructed him to vote
in the state convention for Colman
for Governor as our first choice and
Cockrell second. Hence if MI. Hop
kins being unable to attend the state
convention gave or offered his proxy
to ]. w. Jacks" or any one else,
with instructions to vote for Colman
and against Hardin, he did simply
what he was in duty bound to do
under the instructions of those who
appointed him. l make the above
statement of the truth to relieve Mr..
Hopkins from unjust criticism grow
ing out of a gross misrepresentation
of the facts made in what is known
as the Hawkins circular.

are fifty Democrats in Hopkins school
district. Forty-eight of them endorse
him one is out of the state. The
other (Hawkins) stands alone IN his
position. We said alone; we take it
back. He is alone in his school dis
trict but is backed by enemies of
Hopkins who distort the facts and
stop at nothing to accomplish their
ends. There is not a fair-minded
mar in the county who does not know
the animus and the men back of
Hawkins. Hopkins has tried Lc de-
ceive no one in regard to his past
record or present position. He in
vites scrutiny" but insists on the
truth. These Democrats who in
dorse him have known him all of his
life, are acquainted with his every
action, public or private, and are men
whose veracity can not be even ques-
toned. Read both circulars. Re-
feet on the character of all concerned,
Look into the animus behind the
throne. "Scrutinize' the man and
the matter closely and then make up
your mind whether you will lend your
influence to such an unholy warfare.
This snaky circular, issued on the
eve of the primaries and circulated in
the manner it was, should put Dem.
ocrats on their guard. Other circu.
lars may be issued between now and
the day of the primaries containing
even ranker misrepresentation O.
facts. Don't be deceived. Posi-
yourself on the facts and act accord
ingly. A DEMOCRAT.

KIncaid and Gallaher-Letter from
Mexico Church.

Mexico Churcl.
Elder j. W. Higbee, Mexico, Mo.
FULTON, Mo-, July 6.-DEAR SIZE:
When l was in Mexico July LIST 1 was
informed that you had said that Geld.
d. L. Kincaid is not a representative
man in the Christian church, that
she is twenty years behind the times"
that "the Mexico Christian church
will not endorse him." Or words to
that effect.
You are, no doubt, aware that /
called for a reputable gentleman
as an opponent in the proposed dis
cussion. l. do not care to meet any
other kind. Now, if you ever used
the words above quoted or anything
similar to them, will not you and
your church publicly, through the
Mexico LEDGER, repudiate Ed. D. L.
Kincaid as a fit representative OF
your church?
Unless you and your church repu.
date him publicly I shall interpret
your silence as an endorsement and
proceed with the discussion. I keef
a copy of this letter for future use,
1t will not do to talk privately abou'
Kincaid. Something mus. be sale
and done publicly, through the LED
GER. l have reasons to believe tina
those endorsing Kincaid are respect
able people-men in good standing il
the Christian church. I cannot ALLOW
you and your church to suffer Mr
Duncan and w. FL. Hook to pu
forward an irresponsible man ant
then say, 30, Kincaid is not a re
preventative man, he's a nobody!'
You must repudiate Kincaid Or 20
and your church must be held respor
sible for him. Yours &C.,
I. GALLAHER.

r. p. HOPKINS.

I see that one Thomas Hawkins in
a circular refers to an article pub
llshed in the LEDGER of April LIST by
"Democrat'' asking scrutiny: of
r. P. Hopkins. The following is the
article he refers to:
When a man becomes a candidate
for office the people want to know all
about him. Plenty of good material
always offers for a good office and it
is hard for many to make up their
minds, Audrain is a big county and
as a general thing a candidate is not
known to all the people in all parts of
the county. The best way to find
out the true worth of a man is to find
out how he stands at home-in his
own township, in his own school dis
trict. If he is spoken well of there
you can safely make up your mind
he is a good man. If his neighbors,
men he comes in daily contact with,
have confidence in and trust him you
may safely say he is worthy of pub
lie confidence. The closer you get
to a man the better you can learn his
true traits of character. The writer
of this article invites such close
scrutiny of r. 2. Hopkins, of Sailing,
who, among other good and capable
men, is a candidate for collector OF
Audrain county. Go up into his
township. into his school district,
among his neighbors and see what
they think and say of him. You will
find that with N voice they claim
for him honesty and fidelity. HI
never betrayed a trust or a friend
Outspoken and fearless in his views
he is recognized as the soul of honor
and integrity. The earnestness will
which the friends of Hopkins in hi:
own part OF the county support hin
and endorse his claims is proof posi-
tive of the high esteem in which the,
hold him. This is the true test of |:
mans worth, and if r. p. Hopkin.
does not stand this test in a most ex
ceptional manner his friends do no
ask his claims to be considered i,
other portions of the county wher,
at this time he is not known so well
A DEMOCRAT.
Hawkins says in view of this invi
tation to scrutinize Hopkins he ha
done SO and then issues his circular
We have read his circular closely
We then read Hopkins answer ant
the endorsement of every other Dem
ocrat in his school district; also tn
endorsement of the central commit
teeman of his township. We nov
republish our first article and reiter
ate every word of it and say, scruti
nize Hopkins and give him justice
The way to know a man is to fnt
out how he stands at home. The=.

LETTER FROM HON. j. NJ. PROCTOR.
G.. NJ. Dulanev. Esq, Sailing Township, Audrain
County.
STURGEON, Mo-, July 81 am in
receipt of your letter containing an
open letter or proclamation over the
signature of Thomas Hawkins and
addressed to the Democrats of Au-
drain county. You direct my atten-
ton to a statement made therein in
reference to r. P. Hopkins, of
Audrain county, and ask what l know
about the matter.
To this I will say: The statement
about MI. Hopkins absenting him
self from the state in 1884 to avoid
voting the Democratic ticket does
Mr.. Hopkins great injustice and to
my mind manifests a greater desire
to defeat some one than to be fair in
the presentation of truth. Mr.. Haw-
kins in his circular says myself,
Messrs. Coin, Carter and Hopkins,
four of us in number, went to
Arkansas on q fishing excursion
that all but MI. Hopkins returned in
time to vote, leading the public to
believe there were but four of us in
the party, and that Mr.. Hopkins re-
NAMED away for the express purpose
to keep from voting. These are no,
the facts in the case. The fact
is Mr.. Hopkins and myself with eight
or ten other gentlemen land 1 think
all Democrats) went to Black rivei
fishing in the fall of 1884. We had
made all necessary arrangements to
start at any time when we received
notice from a friend that lived there
that the fishing was good. As il
happened the notice came just before
the general election, sooner really
than any Of us expected, but as the
state and county nominations had all
been made, in which Mr.. Hopkins
took part, and state and county being
largely Democratic none of us
thought it important to remain al
home Just to vote.
MIR. Hopkins could not and did not
know just when vi would start
until the notice CAME, therefore the
inference that he left the state to
avoid voting the democratic ticket
cannot be true. Myself and one OF
two others were the only ones of the
party OF 10 or IL who came home In
time to vote, and my return was
owing more to the demands of bust.
