Editor f. z, Moore, OF the Peirce
City Democrat, thinks that:
"Senstor Vest, by his energetic fig hit
against trusts, combines, monopo]ies
aud rings, has won the mortal enmity
of all the protected pets and tho bond
ocracy OF our country lie saw the
distressed condition of the farmer and
became his champion against the op-
preston of the rich. An effort is now
TO be made 10 defeat him and put in his
place more plant tool. Ii will be n
sad day for our farmers when such
fearless champions of their cause as
Geo. q. Vest are banished from the
rostrum where their voices are now
lifted in eloquent protest against the
dangerous tendencies OF the times. The
republican party has assumed the task
Of doing this work. 1t now lies with
farmers of Lawrence county TO say il
they will send friend or an enemy to
Jefferson City. II they want Senator
Vest to remain where he can battle
against beef rings, lard rings, they
must be careful who they send to the
legislature"
So rabid republican as Editor Ham.
merslough, OF the Kansas City Globe,
says:
"When such a good soldier as Sena-
tor Hawley, of Connecticut, was during
the war protests against the prodigaliiy
urged in this matter of pensioning old
soldiers and their heirs to the fourth
and fifth generations we are led to
believe az he does, that the old soldiers
are injurlng their cause by their impor-
tunities, and that they are discounting
the patriotism that inspired them TO go
into the army by the greed they are
maniiesting now"
Walter Williams, editor OF the Colum-
bia Herald, does but justice TO an hon.
orable gentleman and painstaking,
faithful public servant in this:
"The democratic press of Missouri
has no csuse 10 blush tor anything that
James Monroe Seibert has done. His
record as treasurer and as auditor il
clean and cOmmendable. He has per-
| formed his duty faithfully and well.
The newspapers that haye intimatcd
to the contrary are guilty of ignorant
or malicious Misrepresentation. Mr..
Seiberts integrity in unimpeachablC
and his standing as an officer and as Il
man is above suspicion.
Editor Charles q. White, of the War.
rensburg Jonrnal-Democrat, says:
"The Missouri antitrust bill hal
been knocked out In the first round"
This is hardly correct. In the frs
place only one feature of the law ha
been passed OH adversely, and in tn,
second the supreme court has not pass
ed on il at all. Until it does it cal
scarcely be considered "knocked out.
Editor w. II. Green, OF the Frede
rictown Plaindealer, has this:
"Judge Emerson, u. S. marshal. ha
been removed and Mr.. Buchanan, o
Rails county, appointed in his place
Thus faithful democratic officials faI
under the axe of prescription. 1t wa
admitted by all that Emerson was
good officer but the republican demant
Tor patronage was irresistible, and Ii,
had to 90 to make way for man from
Indiana. The removal of Emerson il

tentions tor union soldiers"
And this:
"sWhen Farmers Alliance become
democratic alliance it ceases to b.
either useful or ornamental Globe.
Democrat.
1t is not surprising to find the repub
lican press fighting the alliance. Tn
farmers can realize who their pOlitica
enemies are. Comment is unneces
sary."
And this:
"In Illinois elections on Tuesda,
