Voices I'm the Air.

This is the way the democratic editors
of MisSouri-thosc who know how to
talk and are not afraid of expression,
are shying their caStors into the politi-
Cal ring:
Bro. Edwards, OF the Cole County DEM
Ocrat has bantam that crows for HILL but
the squeal is so weak that Missourians
can't hear it. Come, Bro. Edwards, let's
go partners and put up game cock of old
Missouri stock that rnttles dollars every
time he crows-Bland.-Fulto Tele-

Any good man, in sympathy with the
wants and wishes of the people, will suit
us. But he must be unqualiicdly for
free coinage of silver and free trade
as understood by the democratic party,
and no man will suit us, who before
hand undertakes to dictate to the PEG
pie what they shall do. The people and
the democratic party are bigger than
any man. We are not in favor of Il
dictator Cole County Democrat.
The Marshall Democrat News saith
thus:
The Lexington INTELLIGENCER comes
out for Dick Bland for president III
1892. The Wanamaker Alliance of
this county made the same suggestion
last fall and proposed as n platform,
'sFrce silver coinage and lower taxes. -
No man in the country has made a
braver, nobler fight for the peoples in
terests than Silver Dick, and no man
would be more acceptable TO Missou-
rians and western people generally.
And thus:
Some of our democratic friends, who
are stronger Clevelandcrats than they
are democrats, are taking a sly turn on
the silver question. They say lets not
make silver coinage n national issue
just now, but accomplish tariff reform
first and then attend to coinage ques-
ton afterward. They forget that free
coinage of silver is Il more popular
measure even than tariff reform. The
senate during both sessions of the last
congress passed free coinage measures,
and all the democrats have to do to win
a glorious victory on this question is to
select II presidential candidate who is
| favorable to the white metal. Both
| houses of the next congress are in favor
of free coinage, but nothing can be &C.
complished with II gold bug president
and Il Wall Street secretary of the treas.
ury. Free silver coinage and rcduc.
ton of taxes must be the watchword il
the party would hold the west and south
The Hardin News
The Lexington INTELLIGESCEE, will
our old friend Jas. +. Payne ut tn,
helm, has raised the name of Congress
man Dick Bland for the presidency
The INTELLIGENCER is not alone i,
booming Mr.. Bland, however.
The Columbia Herald:
"Silver Dick Bland has anothe
boom. The Lexington INTELLIGENCE
nominates him for president while tn
jefferson City Tribune wishes to max
him vice-prcsident. Brother Bland
continued fight for silver coinage ha
won him many friends.
The Warrensburg Journal-Democrat
We want the time to come again
when every thrifty housewife and grand
mother will have her stores of the shiny
silver metal slowed away in weazl
skins and stocking legs; when the gov
ernment will have its millions and it
billions in the safe keeping of its loya
subjects, to be called out at any time t.
meet any emergency, rs in the case o
France at the close of the Franco-Ger
man war.
Yes, give us free, unlimited, coinage
Why should we fear? We need NOR
money to do the business of the coun
try with and must have it. 1t won
hurt us nor any of our kin. 1t won
hurt anybody who ought not to be hurt
