failure to reform the tariff is to be laid
at their doors they jump around lively.
They are in that distressful plight
where, If they agree with Mills, they
lose the campaign fund of the manu-

published and edited in this city by
Hon. Charles IL. J. Taylor, lately Uni

the duty Of democrats in Kansas to
take it. 1t would also be of great ben.
eft to the party if every democratic
club in Missouri would subscribe for a
number OF copies to be freely distribu-

will read a paper when they will not
read a purely political document.
There is no negro democrat SO able and
