eNSi uieu has pToNeu llnlneHSely
profitable, and as result Gamer.
les are springing up all over the
country.
-Itis little difficult to de-
termine just now, which one
Blaine is worrying most-th e
Democratic party, or the Globe
Democrat.
ALL the financial and bust
ness interests IF this country de-
pend for their prosperity upon the
prosperity of the farmer and 9TH
er working classes.
We hear nothing of the
"City Improvement" ticket since
the election. The north and south
sides of the square and the streets
leading to the depots need serious
attention.
The City Council Of st.
Joseph has granted the right of
way to the Diagonal" into the city
over the tracks of the K. c., st. J.
d =. b. Road, a part of the 40"
system, giving st. Joseph a fourth
line to Chicago.
"A gross of steel pens can
now be produced for eight cents.
They formerly cost S35. The duty
upon pens is nine cents per gross.
Under tariff protection, American
producers have reduced the cost
from S35 per gross to eight cents
or one cent less than the tariff
charge upon the imported article.
What is true Of pens is true of
every other article that has the
benefit of protection.
The following is the Re-
publican state ticket as nominated
at Sedalia convention Wednesday: |
For governor, L. Z. Kimball of |
Vernon county; Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Geo. I'll. Wallace of Howard |
county; Secretary Of State, I. W. |
Mott of St Louis; Treasurer, A. ?. |
frowein of Henry county; Auditor
Geo. W. Martin of Linn county;l
Attorney General, Capt. L. L.
Bridges of Sedalia; Judge Su-
preme Court, Mr.. James Botsford. |
Kansas City,
The Republican convention
held at Sedalia, Tuesday, will be
applauded flom one end CT the |
state to the other for its universal |
endorsement of Hon. C. l. Filley.
He received the highest vote III
the convention as delegate at large
to Chicago, which was deserved
recognition of his worth to the
Republican party of Missouri.
The other delegates at large are,
William Warner of Kansas CITY,
Pat. Dyer of st. Louis and John
ii. Pelham, colored, of Hannibal. A
stronger delegation could not have
been found in the state.
Elsewhere in these columns
will be found letter from Farm
er, and we want to say here, that
a newspaper should never be re-
quested to publish a letter of that
kind, 1t matters not how true the
declarations and accusations it'll
contains may be. While the con-
yentlon was in session was the
time for action in this matter, and
if Farmer" feltthat the Republican
party was being disgraced, he
should have spoken right out in
meeting. After a matter is be-
yond recall is a poor time to want
to discuss the grievance through a :
newspaper. and if it were not fol 6
impressing this fact upon our 1
readers We would not have given
the letter publication at all. An
other thing: But few were present +
and a majority of those a certain t
few. Farmer admits that he /
took no part. Now he feels ag- c
grieved because something was
done that he did not try to hinder. Y
This Is wrong. He further init Il
mates that he will not attend the 7
primary. BY so doing, he will s
,nly repeat what he did at the con-
rention. When men like Farm h
sr" do not act in a convention or I
stay away from the polls, griev- P
Inces like those mentioned in the l.
etter may be expected. 1t is the /
luty of every Republican in the t,
