The REPUBLICAN C0Nv ENTloN.

The Republican Convention
held at Jefferson City last Friday,
is worthy of more than a passing
notice. All agree that the gather
ing was not only remarkable for
its intelligence and ability, but
also for the harmony that charac-
terized every step in the delibera-
tions and proceedings of the con-
yention. Old politicians, who had
attended every state convention
for eighteen years, declaredit it the
most harmonious, and in every
way superior to any state conven-
ton they had ever known.
When Chauncey l. Filley was
nominated for the Chalrmanship
of the State Central Committee,
there was a scene which will ever
be remembered by every one
present. His election was unani-
nous by rising vote. And then
followed.an o,ltburst of enthusiasm
that showed how loyal was the
Republican party of the state to a
leader who had never sweryed to
the right or left, but whose every
thought and act had been in the
interest of the party whose mis-
sion it is to redeem Missouri. It
was a grand expression of the
party's confidence in its chosen
leader, and the spirit which moved
the convention will permeate the
remotest corner of the state, and
lead to a sweeping victory in 1892.

Township Organization.

EDITOR GRAPHIC: As we are to
vote at the coming election on the
proposition to change the admin
istration of county affairs from
county court to township organiza-
tion, it would doubtless be inter-
esting to the people of the county
to know who desires the change
and why they do SO.
The people soon tired of the
township system when Adair coun-
ty had it before, and l think would
soon do SO again. Gentlemen who
desire the change will please let
the people know who you are and
what benefits you think the tax
payers would derive from the
change and oblige.
One OF THEM.

Mr.. Hatch, during

SAAs AAosohS NuAAA6 AAO
twelve yesrs in Congress, has
never cast a single vote that bene-
fitted the Western farmer. His
vote on the silver bill will cost
him at least 1000 votes in the
First District.
The entire Republican par
ty of the state is pleased with the
Jefferson City convention. The
convention was unit aud there
is ps feet harmony in the party
throughout the state. That Mis-
souri, Democracy is getting scared
is no cause for wonder.
The fruit evaporn.or has
adde d another industry to Kinks
vile which is destined to be a
great anl lasting benefit to both
town and country. 1t will not
only give employment to a num-
Der of hands at good wages during
several months of the year, but
will also enable thu farmer to sell
his entire fruit crop for cash, and
thus prevent the loss by waste of
thousands of dollars every year.
Not only will all waste be pre-
vented, but new impetus will be
given to fruit culture, and few
years will find the orchard the
most valuable instead of the most
neglected and valuless portion Of
the farm.
The relief in the money
market at New York caused by the
puachase of Il per cent bonds,
the refusal of the labor federation
to take up and extend the strike
on the Central Railroad, and the
prospect that the Senate will soon
reach final action on the tariff
bill, have tended to greatly i'm
proye the state of business. The
volume of domestic trade is great
er than in any previous year at
this season, and the outlook fer
the future grows clearer and
brighter every day. The benefit
of the silver bill is being felt in
every nook and corner of the
country, and all classes Of people
sre. looking forward to an era OF
unprecedented prosperity.

The astonishing news has
been received that Arkansas has
gone democratic.
The Democrats hope to
capture one county in Wyoming.
That county is populated almost
entirely by Mormons.
-Reports from over the
country indicate that there will
not be enough corn raised this
year for home consumption.
The action of the conyen-
tion at Jefferson City, last week,
will be enthusiastically approved
at the polls next November.
There is little spirit mani
tested in the Democratic cam.
paign in Mr.. Reeds district. It ie
now conceded tkat he will be re.
elected by large majority.
When the Democratic party
was retired the silver dollar was
worth ~ cents. 1t is now worth
" cents. The Democratic party
howl against the recent silve,
legislation, but it is the practical
and beneficial result, and moi
howling, that is attracting the at.
tention of the people.
--Congressman Quinn is urg-
Ing the passage of bill to prevent
railroad corporations giving Pink
erton men the police power which
at present,they usurp. These men
are usually reckless and belong to
the worst elements of society, and
there is no excuse for their en-
ployment.
When Mr.. Hatch got up to
make speech on the tariff bill he
displayed such depth of ignorance
that the members on his own side
of the House felt deeply chagrined
and mortified. When be gets
through with the present CANVASS,
his friends will wonder why they
ever attempted TO send him to
Congress.
In nearly every instance
where township organization has
been adopted there has been an
AK to grind. 1t was SO when Adair
county adopted the system before,
aud it WAS abandoned as soon as
itcould be done without exciting
general suspicion. 1t is quite
safe to say that the tax payers of
Adalr county will not repeat the
folly of adopting township organ
ization.
MR.. Frank P. Sever the
young man nominated on the Re-
publican ticket for State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction,
was brought up in Knox county.
He has dedicated his life to the
work of education, and has been
eminently successful in his chosen
profession. The Wolf of the
Democratic fold will at least be
given lively chase.
a few Republicans ol
Scotland county, headed by Il. D
