Inc following open IetteF w tHe
Democracy of Missouri, together
with the appended editorial, is
taken from the Platte County
argus:
To the Democrats OF Missouri.
PLATTE CITY, Mo-, May 49,
Seeing that our present Governor,
A.. 2. Morehouse, is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Missouri, l deem it
my duty to tell the Democracy of
the State a few of the many things
| know about him.
During the civil war of 1868 I
lived in Nodaway county, Mo-, and
a part of the 100 acres of land
which I then owned is now occupi-
ed by the fourishing city of Mary
vile. The old settlers of that
county will remember that A. P.
Morehouse was a lieutenant under
Capt. Davis, commander of a COM
pany of Union soldiers. This COM
pany of pretended Union soldiers
made the driving off of stock,
plundering, burning houses and
prosecuting settlers their chiefbusi-
ness, leaving helpless women and
children crying after them for the
stock which were their chief de-
pendence for sustenance. At
Graham, then called Brownsville,
this company robbed James
Graves, a wealthy settler, of all his
stock, wagons and other valuable
movables and left him only his
bare farm, because, they alleged,
his boys were in the Confed-
crate service. James Nichols, an
other farmer, six miles east of
Graves, was treated the same way
and in addition his house burned
by the same company, because
he was charged, though false
ly, with selling six mules and re-
ceiving in payment Confederate
money. Next the company went
to John Snaps, and because his
boys were in the Confederate army,
he met with the same treatment as
Graves. Soon after the above
mentioned depredations, a second
lieutenant from an Iowa company,
came to my house and asked if l
had taken the amnesty oath, stat
ing that if had not, he had orders
from Capt. Davis to seize me and
all nv stock. T told him that 7
was a cripple and that none of my
family were in either army. At
this time Capt. Davis and Lieu
tenant Morehouse, with their COM
pany, rode up. Capt. Davis, who
previously induced one of my
neighbors to pretend that he want
ed to buy my mules, had thus sue
ceeded in getting me to have my
mules and horses driven into a lot /;
therefore, when the company reach
ed my house they were ready to be
driven off. Capt. Davis said that
he had orders to take me with him,
but failed to show them, and also
stated that / would get all my pro-
pefty again. They then drove the
stock before them toward St.
Joseph, taking me with them. On
the way they traded one of my
horses off and took the others to
Capt. Davis own stable. They
made a division of the stock and
Davis wife afterward sent me
word to come and get my mules
that DAVIS had brought them there,
and that she was a Kentucky wo-
man and did not want to harbor
| stolen stock.
I could fill column after column
with like depredations committed
by this company, of which A. P.
Morehouse was lieutenant, but this
is sufficient for the present.
Very Respectfully,
JOHN MCCLAIN.

Wingard, aged "A, and Miss Anna
Fox, his niece, aged about 16 years.
who were arrested here on last Mon.
day for clipping from Monroe, Mich,
committed suicide this morning
about 10 O'Clock. Sheriff Eaton, of
Monroe, arrived here this morning
and identified the prisoners. Chief
of Police Stacy of this city and Sher-
iff Eaton had conversation with the
prisoners and requested them to 60
back to Michigan without requisi-
tiOn. They asked for short time in
private to decide on what they should
do, and the officers left them alone
for few minutes, On returning to
the prison they found Anna dead and
Wingard in dying condition.
There was bullet.hole in the fore
head of the girl and one through the
top of Vineyards head, made by
32.calibre revolver. A note was found
stating that they had decided to kill
themselves rather than go back to
Monroe, and that they had tax zen
their own lives.
After coming here Wingard suc-
ceeded in obtaining employment as
fireman on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroad. The
couple secured board at Readers
boarding-house and passed off as man
and wife. Becoming frightened they
fled to canton last week, where they
were arrested by Officer Stacy on
Monday and brought here. 1t is un-
derstood that both parties are highly
connected in Monroe.
