Special Dispatch to the Ledger.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, Aug. IT,
This is a great day for the Mis-
souri, Democracy at the Capital.
The hotels are full to the brim and
Jelly crowds of politicians. dele
gates and candidates have kept
things lively since early morning
very early, at that; for delega-
ton, one after another, arrived on
the night trains and all the streets
OF the town last night presented
the appearance of busy city
thoroughfares at MONDAY.
Francis will be the nominee for
Governor without doubt but the
fight for Secretary of State will
be very interesting. McGrath is
working hard, still the feeling is
very general that Lesueur will win
the nomination, though Rucker is
a worker from the headwaters of
Bitter Creek.
For Lieutenant-G overnorship is
very much in doubt. The extreme
probability of Warehouses; defeat
has brought out no less than three
or four candidates for second place
on the tickets, all of them from St.
Joe OF vicinity. The new candidates
hope for victory solely on the
ground of locality. Claycemb and
Ball are the only candidates who
have made a State canvass and the
former is considered in the best po-
sition, at present, to win.
A strong fight for the Attorney
Generalship is being made by John
Wood, Maj. Dennis, Booth and
| Boone.
Nolan and Seibert will each have
a walkover, and the nomination OF
General Harding for Railroad Com
missioner is not in doubt.
There is a great crowd here and
everybody is keeping everybody
else in good nature. Noticeable III
the crowd is MAJ Dryden, of Troy,
who, in his pongee coat, is keeping
things in a constant stir. He is
everywhere, noisy, waggish, good
natured, bantering and cheerful.
THE CONVENTION MEETS.
The convention met in the new
legislative chamber of the Capitol
at noon. J. J. Russell, of Missis-
sippi county, was made temporary
chairman and James Hagerman, of
Kansas City, was made the perma-
nent presiding officer.
DICK DALTON, COMMITTEEMAN.
| Richard Dalton, of Rails county,
was this morning elected commit
teeman from the Seventh district,
over Sam Cook, of Mexico. Pitman
Smith, of Montgomery county, is
| elsctor.
FRANCIS SURE TO WIN.
3p. m.-After organization the
convention adjourned until four
O'Clock, when the call of counties
will be commenced on the first bal.
lot for Governor. Before the list
is finished, Francis will have re-
ceived more than the number Of
votes necessary to nominate-235.
The fight for Lieutenant overn.
or grows very hot.
A VICTORY FOR JUDGE ROBINSON.
Sam Cooks defeat as committee.
man for the Seventh Congressional
District is looked upon by the
friends of Judge Robinson, the
Pike county candidate, as a signal
victory for that gentleman.

A Bad Case of Flux Cured.

My little boy about eight months
old, was taken with fux. After
several days, we commenced giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy according te
directions. We we're very uneasy
about the child, and sent for q
physician. 1 told him what we
had been doing, and showed him
medicine. He examined it, and
told us the best thing we could do,
was to go ahead and give the
remedy. We used about half of q
small bottle, and cured the child,
who was so low ,thathe had no use Of
himself. We thought SO much Of
your remedy that we would let nc
one else have it. I told my wife q
few days ago that I must write:
