STONES POSITION.
The Candidates Unrepudiated Speech
in Opposition to Cleveland.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
The News of the 2lst heads Il piece
ga Lie Nailed, " in which il says a state
ment has been going the rounds of the
press to the effect that w. j. Stone, Il
candidate for governor, was opposed
to Mr.. Cleveland, and it prints IL letter
from Mr.. Stone dated April 18th,
1892, say ing, 81 am not opposed to
Cleveland. Lies go thick and fast
now" Whether II man is for Mr..
Cleveland or against him nc SAINT man
would suppose cut any figure IN a race
for governor; and, in Mr.. Stones case,
it is wholly immaterial whether he is
in favor of Cleveland, Hill or someone
else. But it is a very essential element
in a candidate, for so high an office,
especially, that he should be a man,
and not a demogogue; and this letter
of Mr.. Stones clearly demonstrates
that he is unfit for the Office To which
he aspires. 1t is Il letter of a dema-
gogue; his assertion is, al am not
opposed to CleTeland," and by indi-
rection he would i%nsinuate that the
assertion That he was, was "A lie. And
neither ARE ii good many others against
Cleveland who WERE. Yet Mr.. Stone
was reported in the daily papers, in
his speech made at jefferson City, when
Cleveland and Cleveland stock were
below par, of 80 declaring himself, and
in favor Of Il Western man and he
has never yet repudiated that speech.
1t is wholly immaterial whether or not
the candidate for governor is for Cleve-
land, but it is very essential that he
should be a man, and not a weather
cock. j. ID. SHEwALTER,

for the friendly words you spoke OF me
on that occasion. | am exceedingly
anxious to have our party do exactly
the right thing at the Chicago conven-
ton, and | hope that the delegates will
be guided by Judgment and actuated 10y
true democratic spirit and the single
desire TO succeed on principle. should
not be frank if | did not say to you that
| often fear | do not deserve all the
kind things such friends rs you say OF
me, and | have frequent misgivng as
to the wisdom of again putting me in
nomination. |, therefore, am anxious
that sentiment and too unmeasured
personal devotion should be checked
when the delegates To the convention
reach the period of deliberation. In
any event, there will be no disappoint,
ment for me in the result.
Yours very truly,

A I0INT

The rendition of the Little Tycoon
at Hagen's Opera House, on Monday the
25th, bids fair to be n great success, ever
greater than that of last year. The re-
hearsals are progressing smoothly. There
will be a full chorus of thirty-fi five voices,
a much larger chorus than that of last
year. Dur Lexington Amateur Company
will be greatly aided and supplemented
by a delegation from Marshall. The Lit
tie Tycoon will be rendered by the Mar
shall Amateur Company, in Marshall, on
April 2Sth, and the presentation in Lex
ington will be a joint production by both
companies. 1t is hoped hat III own
calvin Barry" will return from New York
in time to repeat his successes of last year
i'm the character. If, however, he fails to
reach here in time, h part OF Alvin
Barry will be taken by Will Patterson, OF
Marshall, who assumes the role in the
Marshall cast. Owing to a death in the
family, Miss Mamie Cobb will be unable
to take the part of "Miss Hurricane" SC
Miss Stella Redmond, the miss Hurri-
cane" of Marshall, will fill the role here.
She is a clever little actress, and takes the
character well; of course, we will nave
our own inimitable Teddy, who will in
troduce some new feature and songs. Our
Dolly is the sweetest Dolly to be found,
and Dolly and Rufus will scheme for the
amusement of the audience; and the love
affairs OF Violet aud Alvin. Miss Jewell
will assume the role of "VIolet," both in
Marshall and Lexington. In addition to
the above named persons, and our home
chorus, Misses Noble, Gamble, Patterson,
Jackson, lssgrigg and Stryker, and a
number of Marshall gentlemen, will as
sist in the chorus.

SELECT A

In the pending presidential contest
there are a good many candidates.
There are Cleveland, Hill, Pattison,
German, Carlisle, Gray, Palmer and
Boies. Perhaps there will be half a
score more before the convention
meets.
Now these are all good democrats.
One has no greater claim upon his
party for recognition than another.
The democratic party is bigger than
any man in it. 1t owes no man an
office. It would not be orphaned if all
its presidential candidates should die
tomorrow. Other men just as able, as
wise, rs deserving, would take their
places, and the robins would go on
building nests just as they did a centu-
ry ago.
But here are these, and il is more
than likely that the chosen one will be
taken from this group. In that likeli-
hood what is the wise course to pursuep
Shut our eyes and 60 it blindp Just
say we are going to have a certain one
without ever calculating the dangers OF
defeat we may encounter in taking
him? Is that what the people want!
Surely democratic people ought TO
want that candidate we can the most
certainly win with. That is what the
INTELLIGENCER wants, and that is what
it is working for. The fact is not
questioned that a large majority of the
democrats of Missouri and other states
prefer Mr.. Cleveland above all others.
But this Is no evidence that he will
make the strongest presidential candi-
date, and no argument in favor of his
support above others.
Mr.. Cleveland admits that he has
serious misgivings at times whether it
would be wise for the party to NOM
mate him, and admits the danger of
too much personal devotion to him
self. He mas found it necessary TO re-
buke in a mud way, (and it is greatly
to his credit, too) that idolatrous es-
TEEN OF himself, which has rendered
some of his followers totally oblivious
to dangers that may lie in the road to
his party's success in case of his nomi-
nation. In this he shows himself so
much wiser than the fellows who take
offense at a newspaper because it re-
fuses to bow with them daily and week
ly in devotional exercises at the shrine
of man-idolatry.
OEce more we say, let us without
prejudice and with fairness to all, select
the man who a win, and with him
as standard bearer go in and pluck the
flower of victory. Save your clubs
and your tomahawks, your daggers
and your scalping knives for the re-
publican party.

Colonel Stone, candidate for govern
or, writes a letter to a one horse
Lafayette county paper, denying that
he is opposed to Cleveland. What if
he were? Would that unfit him for the
governorship? Surely there are no dem
ocrats in Missouri that are fools enough
to fight Stone or any other man be-
cause he is opposed to Cleveland's
nomination. If there are such, there's
no excuse for their being permitted TO
run at large, especially when we have
three lunatic asylums in the state.

1t is a mistake for democrats who
believe in silver coinage as n of the
leading issues of the party to turn
away from it because a minority OF
democratic congressman under the
whiplash and spur rowels of Wall
street and the gold ring voted down
the Bland bill. The vote showed con
clusively that q majority of the mem
bers were true to the interests of the
people who elected them and that they
are still democrats. To go away from
the party now is to leave the balance
of power in the hands of enemies 10 q
reform of the currency.

In 1884 Cleveland carried North
Carolina by a majority of 17,430, re-
ceiving 1882 votes. In 1888 he
carried it by l0,329, receiving 147, 902
votes. This was a gain in the number
of votes of 1850, but a net loss in ma
jority of 7,l0l. Blaine's vote in 1884
was 1876 ,068. Harrison's vote in 1888
was 1874 ,7S4, a republican gain of 81
716, in four years, a gain that nearly
doubled that of the democrats. With
Une-half of the democrats in that state
in revolt against gold bugism, and
threatening to take their grievances
and their delegates into the Omaha
convention unless they are satisfied
with the platform and nominee of the
Chicago convention, it looks as if the
sold north state'' would have to be put
down in the column of doubtful states.

Capt. A. A. Lesueur, the present
efficient incumbent of the secretary OF
states Office, IS a candidate for re-
election. This honor and recognition
he richly deserves. The INTELLIGENT
GER is for him, partly because of his
acknowledged fitness for the position,
because he is a sound and sterling demo-
crat, and because he is a resident of La
fayette county. Being for Capt. Lesueur,
it would not be consistent To make n
distinction between candidates for
other state offices.
