The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1892-01-12

An observing citizen remarked to
the. Gossiper: "Sedalia has a very
nice cemetery. and it is pleasure to
know that it is kept in the best of
condition and that there are some
splendid monuments and other decor
aticns. At the same time, l notice
many graves unmarked, belonging to
some of the Oldest and wealthiest fam
lilies in the city. This is not as it
should be-"
"John r Green of Ray county"
said an attorney to the Gossiper yes
terday, "who was chosen clerk of the
supreme court, will make most ex-
cellent and competent clerk. l have
had business relations with MIN and
know whereof 1 speak. He was for
years circuit clerk Of Ray, and is very
popular in that county. He is a
prominent figure in democratic con-
venlions. and is withal a nice and
pleasant gentleman.
Soon after the state convention the
president of the Missouri association
of democratic clubs, Mr.. Fred W.
Fleming of Kansas City, will call
convention of all the democratic cubs
in the state. 1t is expected that this
will be one of the largest political
gatherings of the campaign. The
importance of Organizing campaign
clubs in every county in the state will
be impressed upon the democracy in
the next few months. When the
convention is held every county
ought to, and doubtless will, be rep
resented.
"Judge Richard Field" said an
attorney IN conversing with the Cos
siper yesterday. sis disposed to rush
business through as rapidly as con-
sistent with the public good. There
is no Disgusting the truth, without
rejecting ON any particular attorney,
that to carry a point. the lawyer will
sometimes delay matters. OF course
all this is done in the interest of the
clients, snd no one bl.mes the attor-
neys, but at the same time every one
recognizes the necessity of limit, and
it needs the level-headed man at the
helm Of aft .irs."
Henry W. Henderson, who repre-
SCENTS a legislative district in Illinois,
was in the city yesterday and was
sem by the Gos.iper at the union de-
pot. He said in reference to the
coming national democratic conven-
ton: 81 hope it will be held in the |
west, ard am distinctly favorable to
Kansas City, for the reason that that
city has shown an enterprise r4rely
equalled in either the east or west. |
Another thing AS the republican
crnveh:sion goes to Minneapolis. it is
but right that the democratic conven.
ton should also seek western point,
and Kansas City seems the most avail
able in every respect"
Hon. G. A. McMahan, of Han
nibal, was met in the rotunda at
Sicher's. Friday night, by the Cos
siper. He was en- route to the CAPT.
tai in company with Ju lge John L. {
Richards, also Of Hannibal. In speak. {
ipg of the extra session talk. Mr.. Nc
Mahan said that the people in bis
county favored the calling of the gen.
eral assembly together, and "for the
next governor, am for man who is
the peer of any one who had yet been
named. He is pure. clean, honest, and
possesses the requisite amount of execu-
tive ability. Z. w. Stephens, of !:
Columbia, is the man. His talent
strength is great, and l do hope to see
him put forward"
MIR. McMaban is very enthusiastic
over the hopes that Stephens will
forge to the front, for undoubtedly !,
he is the sturdy oak that will do to
nail colors to.
Young men should notice that it is
not popular to get drunk as it was |
once said to be. The following from 4
a Washington correspondent is per- s
tinent to this matter:
