is CLEVELAND AYAILARLEY

The question of availability is one
that is destined to enter largelysin the
deliberations of the democrats in con-
v~ention at Chicago, and one that will
tend, in a great measure, to control the
verdict of its delegates.
The main reason for this is, the party
is very DESTROYS of winning, and yet to
win, it must nominate one who can
win and this involves the elements of a
winner.
One may predict safe sailing in all
the old reliably democratic states, not
wIthstanding the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
land came near losing the two Vir-
ginias in 1888. The solid south will
give the democratic nominee 159 cleo
toral votes, but it will reqnire sixty
four more to elect. For these we must
look to New York, New Jersey, Con-
n%ectieut and Indiana. To lose any OF
these will be to be defeated, unless we
carry one of the northwestern states,
whicts accident nc who is well IN
formed expects to happen.
Hence, whether we will it so or not
the battle ground must again I've New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana. The available man, therefore,
is the one who can carry all of these.
Papers that are advocating Mr..
Cleveland as the most available man,
claim that he can carry New York but
when asked why he didn't do it in
1883, charge that HILL knitted him. This

A PERILOUS SITUATION.

People who read the INTELLIGENCER
need not go beyond the boundaries Of
Lafayette county to find many evil
dences of Cleveland's waning strength.
Four years ago you could scarcely find
a democrat in the party who was OPP
posed to him. To-day they n be
counted by the hundred. Many of them
admire him, pay tribute to mis- high
character and all that, but oppose his
nomination because they believe he
will be beaten if nominated. Others
are offended at his manifest sympathy
with the gold monometallists, and will
only vote for him under protest. There
are still others who are leaving the
democratic party, because they fear he
will be nominated, and they do not de-
sire to be under a bond to vote for him.
True it is hat this third party or
%ganization is not strong,-it is in its
infancy yet. In its full manhood it
may number many. But suppose it re-
mains Just as it Is-the same detection
that is in Lafayette county, supposed
to be iron bound and rock-ribbed in its
democracy, If extended over the entire
south would lose the democratic party
twenty-nine electoral votes. If lei
leave the party from a mere a%pprehen-
sion of Cleveland's nomination, may
we not expect very serious detection in
case that which they fear becomes a
fact?
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland on
any platform he can accept consistent
lv with his %utterance on the silver
question, will give no assurance of re-
lief to the great farming and planting
interests of the west and south, and
will not only fail to rally the full vote
of the party, but stampede thousands
of good democrats into the third party.

NO INSTRUCTIONS.


There has been talk in this county of
sending a delegation to the democratic
state nominating convention instructed
for Col. j. w. Stone for governor. In
fact a certain newspaper man in the
county has already made the boast that
he intended ITO sendn 3 delegation to
Jefferson City so instructed.
Whatever some individual may do on
his own responsibility, the INTELLIGENT
GER hopes the democracy will be able
to send a delegation to the state con-
vention that will not need to be in
structed.
In the first place, Lafayette county
has a candidate for a state Office in the
person of Captain A. A. Lesueur. BY
virtue of that sacred, yet unwritten
law of the democratic party which re-
wards its deserving servants with 81
second term, Mr.. Lesueur is fully en-
titled to the honor of q denomination.
The INTELLIGENCER trusts that no
democrat IN Lafayette county would
seek to rob Mr.. Lesueur of this honor
and recognition.
No n who knows anything of how
the office of secretary of state has been
managed by Capt. Lesueur will with
hold the tribute of ''well done" In
fact, it is the verdict of all that the
management has been faultless; and no
state official stands higher to-day than
the present occupant of the secretary's
office.
= Mr.. Lesueur Is entitled to n return.
1t ought to be the wish of every
Lafayette county democrat to have
him returned. 1t ought to be the
aim of the democratic convention to
send good and reliable democrats to
Jefferson City who would vote for his
return, and who could be trusted to
promote and guard the interests of the
party without instructions. The In
TELLIGENCER believes in n free democ-
racy, not a tied democracy. If the
sentiment of the county is for Colonel
Stone let the delegation so represent.
If it is for Dalton let him have the vote.
If 1t is for Gibson, honor him. If
divided among all these, give them all
a show. Men of brains and integrity,
not machines with a string tied to them,
will best subserve the interests and rep
resent the wishes of Lafayette's democ-
racy in the state convention.

An INTELLIGENCFR reporter was lnvIt-
ed to the home of James Hays, Seventh
street, Thursday evening, and watched
the process of Matching chickens by arti-
fetal means. Mr.. Hays and his brosher-
in-law, Robert Norfolk, built the incHba-
tor from the plans of a successful paul-
terer, and this is the second trial thfy had
given it. The first trial was gsS $50 sue
c~essful, though for\no fault osfhe incuba-
tor, and the second Es being ched with
all the more interest. yaseso oos
April 1th 81 eggs wereE marked
and placed in the long drawcfxf the in

temperature of 10i degrees, never lower
lower than 1902 nor higher than JOG, by
means of hot water. On Wednesday, at
$3.50 p. m, twenty-four hours ahead of
time, the first chick pecked its way
through the shell, and has been followed

cess of incubation and cultivation seems
TO be complete, and is evidently successful.

charge is denied by Mr.. Cleveland
himself, by Gen. Dan Sickler, by the
New York World, and by all the facts
n the case. 1t is, therefore, n very
slender proposition upon which TO
predicate success now. People who
charge that Hill was in Cleveland's
way in 1888, themselves testify to the
nnavailability of their favoritc, because
Hill IS still there, and q much more
potent nan than he was then.
But charging that Hill knitted Clcvc-
land in New York, doesn't explain why
his majority OF 1,2S4 in Connecticut i'll
1884, was cut down to $50 in 1888. II
doesn't explain why his majority OF
G,512 in Indiana in 1854 was entirely
overcome and converted into u repub-
lican plurality of 2,34S in 1888. 1t
does not explain why Mr.. Cleveland
ran $4,000 votes behind the democratic
state tickets in the six New England
states. 1t doesn't explain why the
democratic majority in West Virginia
was cut down from 1921 in 1884, TO
SOC In 1888; nor why he came within
1910 votes of losing old Virginia after
having carried it by nearly 5000 in
1884.
But these are not all the facts, glar-
ing ones too, that testify to Mr.. Clevc-
lands weakness and unavailability. He
ran behind his ticket in seventeen
states, and there is not one scintilla of
evidence to show that he is Il thousand
votes stronger in any of them, to-day,
barring the natural increase, than he
was when he dragged his party down to
defeat in 1888.
If the party desires simply to testify
its devotion to Mr.. Cleveland without
reference to winning the next campaign,
let it go ahead and nominate him; but
if it wants to win, that it may secure
the reins of power and restore to the
people the blessings of democratic
government, it must nominate some one
else.
Fortunately it has plenty of lirst-rate
material to select from.

FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The Democrat is authorized to announce
Judge Richard Field as n candidate for the
democratic nomination for judge OF this
judicial circuit.
For the democratic nomination, which
is equivalent to an election, Judge Field
has no opposition.
Coming to the bench with n reputation
for honor, integrity and ability that few
men OF his age have won, such has been
his course upon the bench that this rep
utation has been strengthened and broad
ened, until to-day no judge in the state
enjoys or deserves in q higher degree the
confidence and esteem of the people he
serves.
1t is not strange, then, that when his
term of office expires, the people whom Inc
has co~nscientiously served des, re to ten
der him the honor of 4 denomination and
unanimous endorsement. He has won il
fairly by his services.
AS a man and a citizen, no less than as
n public officer, Judge Field stands above
criticism or reproach.-Sedalia Democrat,

LET US HAVE THE PROOF.


The Independence Sentinel, usually
very fair, and a paper of wide influ-
ence because it is fair, discussing the
availability of MIR. Cleveland as a can
didate says:
''In 1888 the presidency was swap
ped for the go%vernorship of New York
by n man who has since aspired TO he
president, but whose aspirations were
frost bitten by the chilly reception met
with outside his W state
Though no name is called IN the
above paragraph, the Sentinel, it is
PLAN, means Senator Hill.
The lNTELLIGENCER knows the Sen
tinel. Knows it is not in the habit of
making damaging charges against any
one unless pretty well fortified with
proof. The INTELLIGENCER has seen
this charge against Senator Hill before,
but has never yet succeeded in finding
any one making the charge that could
prove il. In this case, perhaps, it has
come upon a paper that has the proof,
and which if it has, will promptly pro-
duce il. So now we ask the Sentinel {:
What proof have you that David b.
Hill, candidate for governor OF New
York in 1888, snapped the presidency
for the goTernOrship?
II will not do for the Sentinel, and
we know it will not, to try to dodge
this issue. 1t makes the charge with
out equiyocation, without equivocation 1t
must produce the proof or be convicted
of wilfully circulating Il base and dam
aging Islander against a man whom the
democracy of his own state, people
who know him well, have three times
honored with the highest hon0rs they
can bestow; ii man whose party at
home, has endorsed as their first choice
for the highest honor any man living
can receive.
Your proof, Mr.. Sentinel, your proof!
