TO Gov. Francis do not believe that he
will be a candidate for senator III op'
position to Vest" |
The governor has no better irleno
than Mr.. Jcwett, and therefore the
significance of the above paragraph |
Gov. Francis is an active, enterprlslhg'
brilliant governor, and he is more thah
meeting the expectations OF the demo
cratic party. There are indications ol
greater honors in store for him, but II |
he has the slightest idea of being a can
didate against Vest for the United
States senate, his friends do not know
il.
The democrats OF Missouri Will
hereafter be known as "rrust Fight
ers." II is good name-a sound,
health iul, triumphant title, and it came
about by reason of the following para
graph in the Bowling Green Post:

Editor Knott of the Hannibal Jour
nal makes this suggestion:
"Why not have Mr.. Grover Cleve'
land, of New York, address the citi-
zens of Missouri and Illinois on TIT
tariff issue, at Hannibal, at some date
i'm the near future2 An invitation
numerously sigued by the tax payert
of the two states might influence INT
nations greatest citizens to pay the
great west visit. Fellow-democra's,
v hat say you to the suggeslionf Lei
us 90 to work and arrange ior tht
largest tariff reform meeting ever heid
III Missouri"
There could be no more interesting
or profitable movement than THIS.
Grover Cleveland is the embodiment o.
the tariff reform principle, the maj
who fired the first gun for the demo
cratic platform, the first citizen OF The
republic. Bring him to Missouri, by
, all means, and give him the grandes
d reception he ever had in his life.
