The Peoria, Ills, Democrat breaches
the funeral of republicanism in pathet-
ic but forcible language:-"In Illinois
we have seen a convention of republi-
can clubs rent with d~issensions; split
into factions; young ideas fed upon
fragments of the bloody shirt; budding
aspirations chilled under the blight of
issues that died twenty years ago;
inquiring lips struck with the iron hand
of bossism-all part of a political
saturnaIia that precedes a party's doom.
The whole fact of the matter is that the
republican party is demoralized to the
verge of disbandment."
The intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1887-1891, 1888-05-05

The Centralia, Ills, Democrat has
good cause to feel h~appy:-"The de-
mocracy Of this state never was in bet
ter condition to make a good, success
ful fight. Harmony and good feeling
prevail all through the state. In Cook
county the factions which have been at
war tor many years have come tOgeth-
or, healed their differences, and are
united. Illinois is going democratic

THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT.

The movement now being made by
the Southwest Missouri immigration
Society is no spasmodic effort. ii
emanates from a deep seated conviction
that the time has come to vindicate tho
good nam OF the state and the charac-
ter OF her people. There are true and
tried men behind the enterprise all
Over the country who are giving it their
moral and financial support. They are
business men who know that Missouri
has vaster aud more varied resources
than her sister states on the west who
have built up magnificent empires
while we have been dragging along
under the load of calumny that on
scienceless enemies have been heaplng
upon us. But this organization means
that that kind OF a thing has gone on
long enough and must now stop, and
that Missouri shall take the proud
position in the social and financial
world hat her u%nequalled resources
entitle her TO. Lafayette county
should at once call a mass meeting, fall
into line and keep up with the process
sion. She owes it to herself and 10
the state TO do this and she will reap a
rich harvest from the effort.

81 ROUNDS TO A DRAW.
Tom Tyler and Jim Dandy, Phiia-
deIphta PugiIists, Fight Near Here.


deIphta Pugiltsts, Fight Near Here.
Tom Tyler and Jim Dandy, two Phlladel-
phia lignt-weights fought 81 rounds near
Carpenter station, on the Baltimore and
Philadelphia railroad, on Saturday after
noon, which was declared a draw. 1t was
intended to have the battle IN Philadelphia,
but the arrangements were subsequently,
changed and the principals, seconds and
lookers-on landed at Carpenter station
shortly before o'clock and proceeded into
the country for about half milk, where the
mill took place.
George Dale was referee and the fight
was for $500 side and to flush. Dandy
wore white trunks and was attended by slf
Lunt, D miniek McCaffrey's trainer, and
Jack Kelly, while Tyler wse attired In blue
trunks and was seconded by Jim DAILY, who
was recently matched to lght Frank Bos-
worth and sparrow" Golden, who with
Others was tried here and acquitted some
time ago for aiding In a flght at the W. Il
N. railroad pier on Juiy LIST, 1885. John
Mcmahon, o Philadelphia sport, was time
keeper.
Firat blood was awarded to Tyler, who
struck Dandy o savage blow on the mouth
In the first round. Danby's face suffered In
the third round, but after that and up to
the tenth round, the fighting was tame. In
the fourteenth round Dandy was knocked
down and 10 the eighteenth round Tyler
broke two knuckles but Notwithstanding
this succeeded In again sending Dandy to
grass. Dandy was apparently beginning TO
weaken but stood up bravely. He pre-
sented a sorry spectacle, Inthe thirty first
round 1t was agreed TO call the battle a
draw. This disgusted the Tyler people,
who were sure OF their man winning. The
party left for Philadelphia soon afterwards.
me mill was not generally known and COM
paratiyely few people saw 1t.

not making greater efforts In securing a
hulk OF the trade az their yery door
What the city needed was constant IA.
vertisement of itself. The people Of the
Peninsula should be made to know and
understand that Wilmington can supply
their demands just as promptly, as
cheaply and as satisfactorily as larger
oities further removed. Mr.. Mullen said
that his firm was warned that there was
no further room for another Wholesale
grocery house but they have succeeded
and In their line Of business he knew that
WtlminRton's trade had increased about
STU, 600 In recent years. He said that
baltimore acknowledged that 1t could not
compete with Wilmington In the whole-
eale grocety business on the Peninsula.
Then, asked Mr.. Mullen, eff our trade
should have drifted here, why would not
some other business fare in similar man
ner." He said that an energetic iobbina
house would be paying institution in this
city and TINT one would undoubtedly be
established within very short time.
Mr.. Mitchell said that one OF the chief
drawbacks to Wilmington securing the
Peninsula trade is the action of the rail
road company which prohibits passengers
who have excursion tickets for Philadel.
phia or other places from stop. over priv.
ileges IN this city. Furthermore, he
Thought it unjust and discriminating that
excursion tickets could be bought az
towns on the Peninsula to Wilmington
or Philadelphia, but no excursion tickets
