That was d great Outpouring OF
democrats at Jefferson City last We'd
nesday. People came miles in wagons,
boats and railway cars to attend the
denomination of Hon. X. L. Bland, as
the democratic candidate Tor congress,
and to hear speeches upon the pending
political issues by Mr.. Bland and Hon.
Roger @. Mills, of Texas. There were
thousands of people upon the campus
and in the hall of the house OF repre-
s~entatives when Mr.. Bland arose to
acknowledge the honor conferred by
his tenth nomination to congress. Iheh
he spoke %eloquently of the republican
legislation against silver and OF the
Infamous efforts of the northern repnb-
licans in congress to d~isfranchise the
south by means of bayonets at the
polls. and excoriated the old carpet
bag party for its encroachments upon
the rights of the people. Mr.. Bland
was followed by Mr.. Mills, who abnn-
dainty upheld his reputation as the
best democratic tariff talker i'll this
country. No wonder such republicans
as Col. Bittinger affect to believe that
Mr.. Mills is wasting his time is Mis-
souri,. No wonder they busy themscl-
yes with sneers and sarcasms at his
expense. lie is making hundreds OF
democratic votes wherever he speaks
and is binding his party together with
hoops of steel. There is plenty of room
in Missouri for such men as Roger q.
Mills, and the old democracy of this
state will W him a debt of gratitude
before the campaign is over. If it were
possible, he ought to speak IN every

II the argument elsewhere made as
10 the population of Lafayette county
had been followed to its Legitimate
conclusion it would have been even
stronger than the statement which we
therein made, for there is no reason
why the ratio of voters to populations
should be different now from what il
was in 1880. IF the vote of the county
increased from 5,0S7 in 1880 to $3.50 III
1888, the voting population grew al
the rate OF 2lS per year or 2,lSO in
ten years. This added to the
5,OS7 would give a voting popula-
ton this year of 1857, which multi
piled by s would make the population
of Lafayette county $685.. The
census enumerstors only give us a
population OF sc, 0G3, so It appears that
by their Incidence, or something worse,
we lose 6,272 in population, and we
are thereby deprived of an additional
member of the legislature, and the
many other benefits which come from
