disagreed with the republican party,
but who have been deferred from yot-

prejudices. which should no longer have

PEELED to endure. Not only they suffer
out all communities who are dependent
on their welfare. The fault rests right
here. Western republicans have be-
come so attached to that party, lust
because they imagine il is the only
party that is loyal to the government,
that they. year after year, campaign
after campaign. send republican con
gressmen, who will work against the
interest of the west by voting against
the silver bill, for the inuuitous tariff
and every other oppressive measure. II

persuasion array themselves on the
side OF the capitalists of the east. The
democratic party has done what il
could in behalf of the western farmers.

vance. truthfully says
missouri democrats are not ashamed
OF the records of their senators and
congressman in congress and are
willing that th9y should stay there,
regardless OF the vaporings OF a lot of
soreheads and paid hirelings of the
republican party"
We find this in the editorial columns
of the st. Joseph Herald
"The state Of Virginia is in the posi-
ton OF dishonest debtor, whose assets
are out Of the reach of his creditors, and
who proposes to settle with them on
his own terms. Virginia has not the
slightest intention of meeting her hon
orable obligations, except upon such
terms and at such a discount as NAV
suit her convenience. In settling with
dQhtnra n n -,
has shown herself TO belong, il il
usually best TO take all one can get and
be thankful to get anything. Virginia
is simply dishonest in the matter OF her
Indebtedness. Democratic politicians
haye made her So"
1t il TO be hoped that tho pious editor.
Col. Bittinger, was absent when this
audacious statement was printed, which
can only have been done to take i'm very
yonng readers. The truth is that the
re-adluster, or debt scaling party WAS
the creation of Mahone and Riddle
berger, and that the republicans went
in with those immaculate statesmen to
rob the state and euchre the bond
holders at the same time. The root of
the whole trouble was in tho revolu-
tionary act OF the republican party IN
Remembering the state. No self re-
specting republican of intelligence will
ever care to call attention to the con-
nection OF his party with Virginia
politics.
Editor Walter Williams, of the Col
umbia Herald, has this as to the impor-
tance of club organizalions:-
"There should be an organized effort
upon the part of the democratic clubs
of Missouri TO Increase the democratic
vote Al the next November election. TO
that end a convention of the clubs at
Jefferson City or some other central
point to devise ways and means seems
to us eminentIy proper"
We know of nothing that would
prove so efficient as the organization of
democratic club at every voting pre-.
clnct in the state. Not for display, not
even SO much for stated meetings, but
for organizstion-to have in tho presl-
dent and secretary captain and lieu
tenant to aid The colonel in command OF
the county and the general in COM
mand OF the state forces But, in order
to make the proposed central meeting
OF any account we first need the clubs.

Editor Frost, of the Knox county
Democrat, gave this ont before the
Fourth
owe see by the Wyaconds Echo that
Miss Ella Ewing, the foot inch girl,
il TO represent the Goddess of Liberty
on the Fourth. WyacOnda can then
boast OF having the biggest goddess in
the wOrld.'
Editor Burnett thinks that eternal
vigilance is the price of success, aud
writes:-
'lf democrats think we will win this
fight without All effort, they may wake
up some fine morning in November to
tind themselves left. The republicans
are wide awake and tireless in their
work. and many of their leading Jour-
nails manifest confidence Of carving
the stale. They will be rwhemingly
defeated if every democrat will do his
dnty Let us all vote the straight ticket"
The words are timely and shonld be
needed.
