A Good Suggestion.

In a letter to r. M. White,
editor of the Mexico LEDGER, Sena-
tor Vest calls attention to the ex-
pressed determination of the Re-
publicans to control the next
General Assembly of Missouri, and
he also suggests the wisdom of
organizing Democratic Tariff Re-
form Clubs throughout the State
without needless delay. This is a
matter which should be attended to
by the State Democratic Central
Committee. Now is the time to
talk Tariff Reform and make con-
verts. The Democratic papers are
working like Trojans, but the vari-
Gus committees are doing nothing.
The time to organize is before the
battle, and not in the middle of a
rout. Inactivity on the part of the
Democrats is the only hope the
Republicans have.
As no figures have yet been pub
lished concerning the battle ground
over members of the Assembly the
following may prove OF interest :
II the Republicans carry St. Louis
again they will gain three members
OF the Senate, which would leave
the vote: Democrats, q; Re-
publicans, y; Union Labor, 1.
The last vote for Representatives
is more difficult to analyze. Demo.
Gratis were elected from four coun-
ties upon a plurality of less than
10O-Buchanan, 3 plurality; Clark.
7; Morgan, 46; Nodaway, 40; and
upon the same basis Democrats
were elected from eight counties by
majorities of less than 100, viz.
Buchanan, 60; Cole, 50; Cooper, so
Daviess, 43; Ripley, 90; Sullivan.
81; Washington; IS; Wayne, 81
Upon the same basis Republican
Representatives were elected from
the following five counties on plu'
ralities: Cedar, "a; DeKalb, u
Johnson, 8; Livingston, "a; Moni
teau, 10; and upon majorities from
four counties, as follows Cam
den, SO; Cape Girardeau, So; Ozark
II; Wright, "a.
We have omitted two Demo
cratic counties, Clay and Carter, 70,
the reason that nominations are no
made and the race is a tree-for-al
among Democrats. A careful ex
animation of the figures fail Il
show how the Republicans cal
hope to control the Assembly I'm
less Democrats allow the election
to go by default. The Democrat
have no more doubtful counties Il
look after than their opponents
Even if the Democrats lose thre'
counties in which they are creditet
with a less majority than 100 votes
and do not gain a single vote else
where, they would still have
majority upon joint ballot. |
would cost them control of tn
House, to be true. but the Republi
cans would not gain a United State
Senator.
However, we agree with Senate
Vest. that the Democrats shout
commence organizing at once ant
figure on how many counties they
can gain rather than on the numbe
they can afford to lose.
