JOHN MARMADUKE writes from
Kansas City and says he casts his
first vote this year and it is for
Francis and Cleveland-a good
start sure. John says all of the
best Democrats in the city were for
Francis and that the buns and
politicians wanted to defeat him,
but it was no go, as the business
men surprised everybody by COM
ing out to the primaries and taking
a hand-business men who had
never been known to bother about
a primary were on hand and solid
for Francis, who swept everything
in the city and county.

D. r. FRANCIS is making a won
derful race for Governor. He will
be nominated ON the first ballot
and will carry the State by $4,000
majority, easy. A few weeks since
he was only known throughout the
State as a successful business man
and q model Mayor of the metro
polls of the State. He entered up
on his canvass single-handed and
alone, backed only by his public
and private record, to which the
closest scrutiny was invited. He
found himself at the very start
bounded by the buns and ward
politicians of st. Louis, who had
fallen from power while he has
been Mayor. The other candidates
were found to be ready on any
and every occasion to combine
their strength in order to defeat
him. 1t was and is Francis against
the field. He found.that, contrary
to the constitution, the pardoning
and appointing power throughout
the State was to be used for all it
was worth, and that the entire
machinery of the State government
was to be arrayed against him. He
found the railroads, their bosses
and lackeys all up in arms, ready
to knife him from front or rear.
He found the cheap country poll
:icians, who want a Governor they
can use, ready to join corrupt and
venal newspapers and peddle the
lies placedin their mouths by Cad
fly Johnny and his class of unscru-
pulous politicians, who will stoop
to any means to accomplish their
unholy ends. In the face of these,
and many other obstacles of the
same kind, Missouri's young
Cleveland did not for a moment
hesitate or turn back. He turned his
back upon those who wanted "to
let up if he would pay'' and went
upon the hastings right to the peo-
pie: unknown and unheralded he
visited the sovereigns at their
homes and in pure English told
them who he was and laid before
them his record without reserve.
His canvass has been clean and
pure, but in its results brilliant.
In spite of the combine of Glover's
barrel and Warehouses; machine,
which grinds out pardons and APP
nointments ad.. Nbitum, quid pro
quo, he is sweeping everything be-
fore him, the like of which was
never known in politics. He goes
right to the people and in every
county where he has been able to
reach the voters and show them the
truth in regard to his record as a
business man and as Mayor of st.
Louis, the result has always been
the samoa solid delegation fol-
Francis. Vo1 populi, roz Del, and
Francis will be Governor, the
bosses and tin-horn politicians to

Francis Carried Kansas City.

The exact size of Mayor Francis
victory in Kansas City is somewhat
befogged by the efforts OF the Times
crowd to work up conte5ting dele
cations in some of the wards and
precincts, but it is evident that Mr..
Glover was mistaken in supposing
he "a carrying on a campaign in
that vicinity. Mr.. Glover is also
enlightened as to the value attach

had If the primaries. He also
said that Francis would he noni-

THREATENS TO BOLT.
The Doctors Methods Reviewed
by a Francis Man.

From the Kansas City News.
If there was a doubt in the mind
of any person as to the success OF
the Francis legions, that doubt
was dissipated by the Times utter
ance this morning. Instead of
continuing to claim everything it
now offers propositions and makes
meaningless threats.
Said a Francis man in reply to
the proposition published in the
Times this morning: "The Fran
els men will have nothing what
ever to do with the editor of the
Times. He has merely demon
strated that he is the weakest poll
teal factor in the State; that he
would not carry even his own
ward or precinct, not to speak of
his city and county. The Demo-
Gratis of Jackson county have
shown their affection for the editor
of the Times by repudiating him
and his vile and virulent methods.
The talk of bolt this morning is in
the line of Munford's regular
tactics. He has done the same
thing before, but it will in this
case only cement the party. The
county convention will be squarely
conducted, because good citizens
have been sent there and the
result will be the election of
Francis delegates. The men
who are with Muntord now
are candidates for county Of
fees who want his support. But
they will not be 20 warm in their
friendships after next Saturdays
primaries. Only a few will be
chosen, and those few will pEoba-
bly, not be at all anxious for the
support of the Times, for advocacy
by that journal is like aroma Of the
poisonous oriental plant-it invari-
ably kills. The doctor talks of
bolt if the county convention
will be run in the interest of
Francis. 1t is time that there was
a paper here that is not the organ
of one mans every real estate and
political project"

of two ordinary mothers. Faithful
little Thomas, now a grizzled farmer,
with pleasant home near Grand
Rapids, Mich, worked as but few boys
ever worked before or since.
And thus these heroic people passed
the years until Jimmy" as he was
called, declared his intention of going to
sea. Every one knows the ludicrous
story Of his experience in Cleveland;
how he attempted to sell his services to
the drunken master of sailing vessel;
how he was made sick at heart by the
shocking profanity of that sinful wretch !;
how he reasoned with himself that the
canal was the place wherein to learn
the rudiments of navigation, and how
he hired out as driver, fully resolved
to work his way upward from that hum
BILE station. Every one knows, too,
that he explored the bottom of the
canal fourteen times the first trip, and
that he finally stole home for SYM
pathy, quinine and little care.
The following winter he entered
Geauga Academy, near by, with cash
capital of Sl7 in his purse-the Joint
savings of Widow Garfield and her son
Thomas. There is another pleasing
view of this fragile woman's life. She
had always been a church-goer. When
her children were at home she walked
each Sunday to the Disciples meeting
house, three miles away, and her little
ones went with her. One of her uncles
wrote a great many hymns and she was
naturally a good singer. She sang
early and late, as she went about her
duties, until she became quite celebrated
among her neighbors in this particular.
in which she lived land enough on
which to build log school-house. She
believed in religion and education and
in habits of industry, and reared her
children accordingly.
| The home of James A. Garfield was
adorned for many years by his good old
mother. She was never idle, and her
honest philosophy was valued by her
distinguished son, who became dis
tinguished by virtue of her words and
wisdom. When he left the little depot
at Mentor, on the 9th of February
1881, bound for Washington and the
White House, she was with him. A
large throng of farmers, neighbors and
friends of the president-elect had as.
sembled at the station to bid their hon
ored countryman an affectionate-alsC
iinal-farewell 1t was beautiful
morning, and the sun shone clear in
the blue sky above. There were happy
faces all about, but none could com.
pare with that of the proud little
mother, which, although wrinkled by
the cares and sorrows of eighty years
was as bright as the sunshine. THAI
was a proud moment for Widow Gar
field, and she was not ashamed to owr
it. Afew months more and the greatest
grief of her life came upon her. Blu
she bore the shock with Christian forti
tude and grace, just as she had borne
many that had gone before. Let Us
trust that by her death she is now re-
united with her husband and son il
the home eternal in the heavens!-

"The Dot Upon the l."

DIR. Tying related the following incident to
MS Sunday-school in the Epiphany church,
many years ago:
In Russas farof frozen cline
There lived lovely child
The Lord to deeds and words of love
His tender heart inclined
lie loved to hear his parents read
In Gods most holy Word,
And treasured up within his breast
The blessed truths he heard.
This little boy was very sick,
And when about to die
He called his father to his side
And said. want to buy
Bibles to send to heather lands,
Where they know not the Lord,
That they may all read for themselves
In his most holy Word
al can not send whole Bibles there,
Perhaps not one short word,
But would like to give some help
To spread its truths abroad.
"Those three bright pennies in my box
think type would buy
To print in Christ's most holy name
The dot upon the t."
That stricken father did not fail
Those little coins to send.
o children, think how many coins
In wanton waste you spend!
Christ will receive the smallest gift.
When foles tempt your eye,
Think of the little Russian boys
