A Democratic Roor-back

Last week the Democrat of this
place, published what purported to
be letter from Henry Booth, Chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee, the concluding part of
the letter being as follows:
Everything Reems to be at sea, and heaven on
talk high protection 10 the farmers, for they not
only give us the laugh. out went even attend Our
meetings We have worn the bloody shirt thread
bare. There ia absolutely nothing left for ~ TO
do but 70 pitch into adversaries. 1 advise
you, then. in the present emergency TO give the
labor union men and speak on local Issues on
". At all events We must not allow the labor
union to carry PawnOe, as you say they will.
Rather than TO consent to that would Withdraw
and have my friends elect the Democratic nomi-
nee, az have no sympathy for these beggars.
Yours truly,
HENRY BOOTH
OF course the letter is a base forg-
cry and has been promptly exposed
as such by Mr.. Booth. It seems
strange, very strange that democratic
editors even, can get so low down as
to invent such lies as the above and
then publish them in their paper, in
order to deceive honest voters.

THE WRONG TRAIN ROBBED.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 17.-Oficials
of the Southern express company say
their loss by the train robbery Sathr-
day night near Duckville, Miss, will
not exceed $4,000, The train which
followed had $139 900 in the express
car. The robbers were evidently pro-
vided with horses at the place where
they stopped the train, and as all the
telegraph wires were down, owing to
a storm they had full eight hours start
of the pursuing party. ISL
There we're only two men engaged
in the robbery. Tho man who shot

GEN. RICHARD VAUGHAN, OF LEX.
INGT0N, DEAD.
From the Marshall Progress.l

From Col. McCIeiland, of Lexington,
who was in this city Thursday, we
learned of the death of Gen. Richard
Vaughan at his home in Lexington OH
Friday of last week. Gen. Vaughan
was one of Misspuri's distinguished
citizens and a man of fine feelings and
high culture. He had many old friends
in the state who will feel greatly sad
dened by his departure for the other
shore. ten. Vaughan was once a resi-
dent of Salnr, and had many warm
friends in this county. Beside his
distinguished and well known services
as a public man, Gen. Vaughan was
one of the most polished gentlemen and
genial companions that ever breathed
In his prime he was noted for his gal
lantry of bearing, his social charm and
his fascinating conversation, and even
though stricken in years, the bright
reflection of the old power to please
still fingered in his manner. Ripe in
years, he was gathered to his fathers
and has left in the memory of all who
enjoyed his friendship the association
with his name of all that characterized
that royal type OF manhood, the old
Virginia gentleman.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-In the sem
ate, yesterday, Mr.. Hiscock asked Mr..
Vest 10 what he attributed tho vast
increase of wealth in the New England
states, and Mr.. Vest replied that he
ascribed it to the enormous profits
made by those New England manufac-
turers who were in partnership with
the government.
Dir. Hiscock suggested whether it
would not be wiser for Missouri and
other states to step In and take the
benefit of the profit in manufactures,
and Mr.. Vest replied that that was q
fallacy of AZ protection orators. The
matter had not been fixed by mortal
man, but by Him who made the
universe and who had stamped indeli-
bly, on the surface of the country the
nature of the pursuits of the people.
Mr.. Hiscock asked: els the state of
Missouri naturally more of an agricul-
tural state than the state of Ohio?"
