Editor Tetwiler In the Charleston
Democrat:
1.-The belief that Senator Vest shouId
be returned to the senate is not ground
ed upon the supposition that Missonri
contains no men equal In ability and
practical worth. Senator Vest has made
record OF fidelity to the people inter
bsts; he has been in the senate long
enough 10 prove his worth and has Iusl
