A NATIONAL CRIME.

The Laclede county democrat is
always aggressive. With republicans all
around him, and James T Moore mis-
representing him in the legislature, he
speaks out lond in every meeting and
covers a deal of territory in every cam.
paign.
The other day the Bland Tariff Re-
form clab met at the little town OF
Competition. Every democrat within
reach was there and a number OF
republicans, and speeches were made
by such excellent local orators as j. l..
Shamvel il and j.. w. Gage, who talked
tariff reform and good democracy for
an hour. Then the secretary. w. ID.
Jones, presented the following resolu'
ton
Resolved, That we support no man
for representative of this, Laclede
county, unless he speaks out and
says:-.'I am for George G.Vest first
last and all the time" as we hold his
defeat would BIZ a national CRIME.
1t was an emphatic, uDmistakeable
declaration and every man present
threw up his hat, shouted, and voted
aye.
The defeat of George G. Vest, says
the resolution, would be a national
crime-a crime against the welfare OF
the people; a crime against the pros
perity OF the county.
The Laclede county democrats have
hit the nail on the head.

NOT OUT OF POLITICS.

Hon. Charles ii. Morgan, OF Barton
county is thus quoted in a recent issue
of the Nevada Noticer:
Hon. CHI, Morgan, of Barton county.
stopped of In Nevada Friday night to
get the election news. He says he is out
OF politics from this time henceforth
and orever.
We venture the assertion that Mr..
Morgan did not mean what he said, tor
he is not out of politics anu is not going
out.
Politics is defined as that part of
ethics which has to do with the regula-
ton and government OF a nation or
state; the preservation OF its safety,
peace and prosperity the defense OF its
existence and rights against foreign
control or conquest; the augmentation
of its strength and resources; and the
protection of its citizens in their rights,
with the preservation and improvement
OF their morals.
Is Mr.. Morgan "going out" of all
this? No, indeed.
Politics is further defined as interest
in the success of a political party, and
the advancement of candidates to Office.
Is Mr.. Morgan "going OUT Of this1
No, indeed.
He will continue, as in the past, TO
take an active interest in the success OF
the democratic party, and when the
campaign is fairly opened he will go to
making tariff speeches, and doing his
honest utmost for the election OF Judge
! Diamond for congress. That's what
| Charlie Morgan will do.
Returning home-tired, hot and
| dusty-frOm a convention which had
| been in session tor a week, and which
came very near nominating him fol
congress, he is reported to have decIar
| ed himself "out of politics" He may
have meant that he would not soor
again be a candidate for congress. BuI
as for his "going ont of politics." hi
cannot as long as he is a democrat, dc
anything of the kind.
We therefore feel safe in declaring
that MIR. Morgan is now and vii
always be, in politics-actively inter
ested IN the safety, prosperity ant
peace OF the country ; ready at all timel
to battle for the triumph OF democracy
and is only waiting the ides OF Novem'
Der to march with the boys at the poll
all day, and shout himself hoarse Owe
the returns of that night.
In other words, Mr.. Morgan will
remain the identical democrat he hal
always been, rue blue, all wool and &
yard wide.
