Farmers Meeting at Troy Mills.

The farmers living near Troy
Mills school house, met June "a,
1888, and organized by electina
Josia Wright chairman and A. NJ
Ellis secretary. On motion the
following resolutions were adopt
ed: Whereas, the city Of kirkville,
by vote of her citizens, passed an
ordinance, prohibiting horses and
cattle from running at large in
said city and whereas there is no
law in Adair county Mo-, restrain
ing said animals from running at
large, and whereas, the farmers of
said county and state have the
legal right to put said stock on the
range, and in doing SO, they are
often put to the expense by reason
of said ordinance, in paying large
fines and costs to redeem their
own stock from the stray pen of
said city. Now, therefore, be it
esolved by the farmers and citi-
zens of Troy Mills III said county,
that said city be requested to so
modify said ordinance, as not to
apply to farmers stock.
Resolved that there should not
be any strife between town and
country, that if said city of Kinks
vile persists in this matter that
we will be forced to seek redress
in some legal way, and it is furth-
er resolved that the farmers
Throughout the country, who are in
terested, join with us.
Resolved that copy of these
resolutions be published in each
of the Kirksville papers.
EXPLANATORY.
Prudence has kept the above
resolutions from being published
for a time, but the more we inves-
tigate, the more we are forced to
the conclusion that a class of spec
ulators are trying to force on the
farmers of this county, general
stock law, by which the principal
industry of the countywill be taken
from the many and placed in the
hands of the few. A stock law
here, is virtually saying to,the man
with a small farm and limited
means, give up your avocation to
your more fortunate neighbor,
while enough grass is growing at
his very door to summer all the
stock his farm will winter, and if
this grass is not consumed, it will
prove a curse rather than a bless
ing to the people. If the thousands
of head Of horses and cattle that
feed on the range deprive land
owners of any of their rights
there might be some excuse for the
law, but it does not. He has the
same same right to fence without
the law as with it, and can do it as
cheap. The fence that keeps his
stock in will keep mine out.

The National ticket gives
universal satisfaction and will dali
ly grow in favor with the people.
Oregon is the flame of fire
that will march in front of the
Republican hosts and light them
on to victory in November.
"A Democratic exchange
says, Thurman will run like a
steer through n corn field" We
suppose this means that he will 60
it blind.
The mugwumps have look
ed in vain for the Civil Service
plank in the Democratic platform.
There is nothing left them now
but to mugwump again.
james G. Blaine will open
the campaign in Maine, and from
the opening of the campaign till
the November election he will be
founI in the front of battle.
---Republicans need have no
uneasiness about California. That
State stands squarely upon the
Republican platform, and will give
Harrison and Morton safe ma
jority.
When President Harrison
makes up his cabinet, he need look
no further than Missouri for a
Post Master General. An abler
man than Hon. c. |. Filley of st.
Louis, could not be found for that
pos ition.
General Harrison is the
first presidential nominee Indiana
has ever had. The Republican
party need have no fears as to the
result of November in the
Hoosier state.
The present campaign will
be fight between American pro-
lection and British free trade.
America has ever been victorious
over great Britain, and she will
be again in November.
--CHAUNCY |. FILLEY is ION
deck, and the Republican forces
throughout the state will be
thoroughly and efficiently organ
lied. Mr.. Filley is without doubt
the ablest organizer in the coun-
try and under his leadership the
boys will march proudly on to
victory.
"A Democrat manufacturer
of the South says: I'm through
with sentimental politics. Free
trade was democratic sentiment
in Alabama before the war. We
have made great headway in
manufactures since the war, and
in general prosperity. For one [
am no longer a free trader, and
this year i shall not vote for
Cleveland.
james G. Blaine said that
he would not allow the Chicago
convention to nominate him, and
he remained true to that declara-
ton. President Cleveland in his
letter of acceptance warned the
people that second term endang-
cred their liberties. Yet, he sought
by every means in his power to Sc
cure the nomination a second time
1t is with the people to rebuke
such hypocrisy aud they will do
it.

this would be "A paradise, and we
believe it.
When we meet the Adair boys,
we want to congratulate them on
the success of their entire county
ticket, and the fact that Grover
will veto no more bills.
