JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.

Thus far the campaign in Missouri
on the part of the democrats has been
conducted wisely and well, and there
never has been time when the indi-
cations pointed more clearly to COM
plete and disastrous overthrow of
their political enemies. The party
in the state will not only pre>en, an
unhroken front but there Is Z conf
dence and Il sturliness of disposition to
win. that r bound 10 sweep everything
before it. Ii Is hut Il little over three
weeks until the election and it is put
ting it very mildly to say that the re-
publican party in the State Is utterly
di,heartened. While they never real
y expected success, they had hoped
TO preserve organization and reduce
the democratic majority below that
of four years ago. Hence they open
ell the campaign with a magnificent
hurrah, which is now only an echo of
the past. To-day they are hopelessly
divided-there are ordinations and
northumberland in reality the
factions are fighting each other more
bit erly than their hereditary foes. 1t
is the very ill-concealed intention of
the republicans to sacrifice the balance
of the State ticket and their congress-
ional nominees in the interest of their
candidate for governor. They may do
this and still he will lack many thous-
and votes of an election.
So far as the third party is concern
ed. that is not to be considered. 1t
is a tremendous farce, and if that

SEOAlIA FOR A SEDAllAN.

The one great element in the sue
ce>sful uplifting of this city has been
the constant disposition of it, citizens
to cooperate and work heartily to-
gether. Any movement which had at
its purpose the Improvement or wei
fare fthe city always called forth the
earnest support of every resident and
property-holder. As an illustration of
a contrary course the treatment of the
water-works question in Columbia is Il
fair example. No set of men could
preserve their standing or the respect
of the community here after being
guilty. of the conduct of the faction in
that city which successfully fought
and defeated the establishment of
water-works by their municipality.
Nor have the people of Sedalia shown
their devotion to the city in business
and municipal enterprises alone. In
politics they have pursued the same
course and exhibited the same spirit.
To the end that their public schools
might attain the very highest possible
efficiency. they have wholly eschewed
par;iSanship, and at each election bv
a friendly agreement every voter casts
his ballot for two school directors, one
Il democr.. and one a republican, both
of whom are always elected unani-
mously.
The same feeling should govern at
the polls on election day next month.
A Sedalian, Mr., Charles Z. Yeater
is candidate for the office of State
Senator-an office which very nearly
concerns the most vital interests of
the city of Sedalia. In the first place,
this city at the next session of the leg
islature will either attempt capital re
moval or will prosecute the policy of
preventing any further anchors being
cast to bind it to Jefferson City, until
like ripe apple it falls into our wait
ing hands. We ayask the establish
ment of State Fair here, as in other
states, or We may seek the relocation
here of one of the States institutions,
which will likely be re-established.
In any event we desire the man who

THE KAHOkA TOURNAMENT.
On last Friday, Col. VIM. J. Stone

On last FRIDAY; Col. VIM. j. StOne,r
democratic nominee for governor and,
Major Warner, his republican oppo-
nent, met in joint debate at Kahoka.
1t was the first joint meeting OF the
campaign, and it was a veritable bat
tie of giants. Both are able debaters,
both quick at repartee and both well
versed in state affairs. 1t was a duel
between trained minds, logical and
eloquent speakers. So far as concerns
the mere matter of debate the friends
of each Of the champions claim the al
vantage, and there it rests. How
ever, Col. Stone had a decided advan-
tage in being in the right, and he
made the most OF it. He Indignantly
hurled back in his opponents teeth his
li5elouS attacks on Missouri and Ms
sourianS and proved to the satisfaction
of the immense audience that the pros
peritv OF Missouri under democratic
administration was second to that of
no state in the union. He stood up for
Missouri in grand and heroic way.
II was great day for kahoka. and
the democracy is eminently satisfied
with the result

ney-general in his cabinet and the Sc
lection was applauded as a very
proper one. The republican press
says the same of Gresham, but we

COUNTY POLITICS.

During the past week, in various
portions of the county, quite num-
Der of democratic meetings have been
held, and without exception were we'll
attended. An interest has been mani
tested that indicates that the party is
alive 20 the issues of the campaign,
and will he found in solid phalanx on
election day well equipped to battle
for the principles ofgood government.
Even ii it be personal sacrifice to
attend the polls, 1t will be made right
cheerfrlly. Tue republieans of Pettis
county are not asleep-neither by day
or By highland the democrats may
as well make up their minds to en-
counter a well organized and formid-
able opposition. Over-conidence and
lethargy alone can cause democratic
defeat.
The ticket nominated by the demo-
cracy of the county is not only strong
in point of personal popularity, but it
is composed of gentlemen excellently
qualified to perform the duties of the
various positions-gentlemen in whom
the people have implicit confidence
and who are recognized as honest, ca
pable and Obliging.
In sympathy with the state, Pettis
county should give pronounced
democratic majority.

August Weather,

as they have for July, our real estate
dealers will be receiving applications

August will open with atmosphere
somewhat cooled by recent storminess,
1t will turn quite hot again as we
enter the period 4th to Sth. Central

rain with heavy wind probable at these
dates, after which the excessive heat
ought to abate for two or three days
About llth, warm and stormy. The
10th, 18th and 18th will show another
oppressively warm wave, which unless
1t breaks into violent storms, will con-
tinue and reach a climax of summer
heat and drought about the 22nd and
23rd. Al these dates storms will
appear. More rain than before in
August is promised from the eth tc
