for Register of Lands.

To the Democrats Of Audrain County.
GENTLEMEN:-I am a candidate
for the nomination of Register of
Lands, and it being impossible for
me to see each one of you, I take
this method of asking for your sup
port at your primary June 9th. I
am a native of Jackson county,
Missouri, and am thirty-four years
old. I have never held an Office or
been a candidate, but always an
active working Democrat. 1 have
the hearty and active support ofall
the people where I am known.
Knowing the generosity and true
Democracy of the Democrats of
Audrain County as regards a third
term in a State Office, I ask for your
votes as against my distinguished
competitor, Col. Mccullough, for the
following reasons: Col. McCul-
logh was nominated and elected in
1880; in 1884 was re-nominated
without opposition for a second
term of four years. Now at this time,
after having held the Office for eight
years, he comes before you and asks
you to retain him in the office.
Now, gentlemen, Task in all candor,
is it fair to shut out any one from
holding these offices in order to let
one man hold them forever?
Very respectfully,

For Supreme Judge.


Judge Burgess is here holding
the regular May term of Court.
He is a candidate for Supreme
Judge, and we are glad to note his
f~attering prospects for the nomi-
nation.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there is nearly one thousand Re-
publican majority in this circuit,
he has been three times elected
to the office he now 80 ably fills,
over Republican candidates of re-
cognized ability and popularity.
He was first elected Circuit Judge
in 1874, and for IA years has
presided over one of the most i'm
portant circuits in the State. On
the bench he is recognized as a
learned and fearless judge, who
never hesitates in the performance
of duty, however much he may be
at variance with public opinion OF
popular clamor.
Although E.. II. Nortonis a judge
of great ability, we can safely as
sure the people of this State, that
they will lose nothing in his retire
ment, ifJudge Burgess be elected
to the vacant place. Judge Burgess
lived here from 1856 to 1866, when
he removed to Linn county, where
he has since lived and now resides.
During his residence here, he was
honored with a number of offices Of
homer and trust, the duties of which
he performed honestly, ably and
well.

THE EDITORIAL.

The open letter, published in
the argus, giving a brief history of
Gov. A. P. Morehouse as a Union
soldier, was written by John Nc
Claim, one of the pioneer citizens
of Nodaway county, Mo-, who is
now a resident of Platte county.
He has been a resident of this
county for many years andis known
throughout the county as an honest,
sober Democrat. Mr.. MeClain in
forms the editor that there are
living witnesses to the events mar
rated in the letter, and that it will
be easy to establish the truth of
his statements. Having always
been a Democrat, Nh. McClain has
: ritten this letter from a sense of
party fealty, and with the aim of
aiding the selection of a clean man
for the head Of his party ticket. If
Gov. Morehouse participated in
the raids on inoffensive settlers, as
charged in this letter, the thanks
of the Democracy of the State are
due Mr.. McClain for boldly coming
out and telling the truth. Ifhe did
not belong to this company Of
rapacious soldiers. he will only be
troubled with showing to the De
mocracy his war record, and prov
ing the same. From our knowl-
edge OF Mr.. McClain we can assure

DIR. FRANCIS FOR aovERNoH.

D.. r. Francis, "Missouri's
Cleveland" is meeting and talk
ing with as many citizens of Au-
drain county rs possible duringthe
short time he cal spare from his
official duties as Mayor of the met
ropolis of Missouri. The better
acquainted our people become with
him the better they like him, and
his plain, practical and business
talks impress all who hear them
with the fact that he is just the
man Missouri wants as its chief
executive. He has already been
endorsed by such counties as Boone,
Pike, Howard and a half dozen
other leading agricultural districts.
The business men of st. Louis who
know him, as one man will support
him, and there is no question but
what he would add more strength
to the ticket than any man who
could be placed at its head. Fran
els is a self-made man; a man of
brains; a man with force of charac-
ter; a man who has been tried and
found not wanting; a man whose
record as a private citizen and bust
ness man is above reproach; a
man who devotes his entire time
and energy to anything he under
takes, and knows no such word as
fail. As an executive officer he has
proven to be without a peer, as his
record as Mayor of st. Louis shows.
There is every reason why he
should be the nominee of the DEM
ocratic party at this time and no
reason why he should be defeated.
In the language of E. w. Stephens,
of the Columbia Herald, who is one
of the most faithful and conserva-
tive Democrats in the State:
"The election of David R. Fran
els means progress. 1t means i'm
migration, the influx of manufac-
tories, the building of railroads, the
busy hum of workshops, the de-
velopment of mines and an in
crease of SIS and $40 and SIS an
acre of our lands. 1t mean. a
transition from the political clap
trap and effete methods of the past,
to the commercial energy and bus
mess drought of the present. 1t
means the infusion of new life and
spirit, and that the magnificent
resources of Missouri will no long
er be passed by for the barren
prairies and waterless plains of
Kansas and Texas and Colorado.
1t means for Missouri what within
three years has been done for St.
Louis-an advertisement of us
abroad, a magnificent system ofin-
ternalimprovements, a reduction of
interest on our State debt and the
restraint of the encroachments of
corporate power. Why are the
railroad lobbyists, the vultures of
monopoly the political strikers and
bummers and parasites fighting
him from one end of the State to
the other? Why is money being
spent like water, all other candi-
dates have combined against him
and most bitter, INSCRIPTIONS
and desperate war is being made
upon him? 1t is because his cleo
ton mean triumph of the people,
a rebuke to bummerism and money
greed, and a substitution of in
dustrial growth for stagnation.
This is the meaning of the Francis
boom which has caught like a
prairie fire from one end of the
State to the other and which no
power inside the Democratic party
or out of it can stay"
