Sought the Man.

The chief justiceship is not, by
the way, the first position that the
president wanted to give Judge
Fuller, for Mr.. Cleveland has
long looked upon him as a good
man for the public. He offered him
the position of civil service commits
sioner, to which he afterwards ap-
pointed S. II. Obsrly Of Illinois.
He offered him the position of inter
state commissioner, to which he af-
terwards appointed Col. W. R. Nor
rison, of Illinois. He rendered him
the position of solicitor general of
the United States, to which he af-
terwards appointed G. A. jerks. OF
Pennsylvania. He also offered him
a position of the commission that in
yestigated the Pacific railroads. All
these positions he declined. It
would be hard to find a man whom
Office has hunted more Industrious
ly than Judge Fuller.

A dispatch from Butler to the
Kansas City Times stated that the
delegation selected last Saturday to
60 to the Sedalia convention would
support J. G. Clark, of Bates coun-
ty, for district delegate to the nation
al convention. Mr.. Clark is a repre-
sentative democrat and would reflect
credit upon Bates county and the
18th congressional district in this
position, but he is not seeker after
such honors and authorizes us to
say that he is not and will not be a
candidate for such position under
any circumstances. Mr. Clark fur
ther stated that he believed the
Bates county delegation will support
Hon. R. T. Railey, of Harrisonville
for one of the district delegates.

AGOOD OMEN.

The convention Saturday was the
largest and most enthusiastic gath
ering Of representative democrats,
that has been held in Bates county
for number of years. While the
sole object Of the convention was to
send a set of delegates to the Sedalia
convention, there was as much in
terest manifested as though it had
been for the purpose of nominating
a state and county ticket. An
other thing which was noticeable,
which we were glad to see, that ev-
cry delegate had a mind of his own,
and was determine to see that the
county democracy secured its repre-
sentation and that none but the very
best men should represent them.
The only possible danger to the
party in Bates county is that demo-
Gratis in the county, too confident Of
success, will leave the minor details
Of organization to others, when ev-
cry democrat should make himself a
material factor in his respective
township and guard the best inter-
ests Of his party with Jealous deter
mination to let no loophole escape
his observation whereby the opposi-
ton might gain an advantage.
Another thing, the TIMES was very
glad to see old democrats, who have
borne the brunt of many a hard
fought contest, to the front ready
with their wisdom and experience
to advise the young and impetuous,
who sniff the battle from afar and
are anxious for the excitement of
the fray. The manner of choosing
the delegates, while it was different
from old established customs, has
distributed the delegates all over the
county, thereby satisfying all sec
tions, and so far as we can learn.
gave entire satisfaction.
This convention has demonstrated
that the democracy of Bates county
is not dead or sleeping, but are anx-
ious to prove 70 the outside world
that the stories Of it's iisorganized
and wavering condition are base ca
lumnies, and the majorities given the
whole ticket this year from Grover
Cleveland to the lowest name on the
county ticket will be such as to en-
title old Bates to the proud distinc-
ton of being the banner democratic
county in the state.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
story that Mr.. Blaine has assented
to the use of his name rs presiden-
tial candidate, Notwithstanding his
letter of declination, is one that the
country may expect to hear repeated
many times in the coming six weeks.
There.. lis no reason to believe, how
ever, that Mr.. Blaine has done or
will do such foolish, unjustifable
thing. He voluntarily retired from
the race. for reasons which he deem
ed sufficient and imperative; and he
could not now hope to be elected
under any circumstances. even if the
nomination should be given to him
unanimously. Mr.. Blaine has his
faults, but stupidity IS not one OF
them.
