The St. Louis Pust Dispatch makes
the following comment:
READY TO REPLY TO WARNER.
While he was c,nversing with q
crowd of admirers to-day. ex-Congrese-
man Stone was asked what be intended
to say in reply to Warmers SsdaIis
speech. Col. stone paused and push
ed his hair back from his forehead
before he spoke. Then he replied in
this strain: maj Warner vi not,
in my opinion, make such speech a
month hence. Missouri is in an ex-
cellent condition it has been ably
governed. and as a Missourial [ will
stand up for its interests. Its rank
injustice to say that Missouri is on the
retrograde. The state is advancing
in material wealth and progress, and
it will continue to do go, even though
some of our republican friends may
shrek at its advancement.

John H. Carroll, the democratic
state committeeman for the First DIS

noon he was able to cit up To a
Post-Dispatch reporter be said: "AIl
this talk about Missouri going for
Warner is the veriest bosh. The state
is really more democratic than ever
and a wise campaign will give US the
biggest kind of majority. Concern
ing the Peoples party campaign Col.
Carroll said that he did not believe
that the third party could get enough
democratic votes to prejudice the
chances of the ticket. "There are o
good many Farmers Alliancs people
up my way" ne raid, "but don't
believe they will give the republicans
the help they expect"

crowd. Finally young man came up
and told the democratic gubernatorial
nominee that he had made some large
bets on his election.

Col. Stone eagerly.
81 bet that you would beat Warner

would not run ahead of you in St.
Louis, that he would not carry Kan
sas City by 1900 and tina: he would
not ruu up to the Kimball vote of
1888 in the southwest"
"Those are good BETS" said the

lieve in betting. Still if these re.
publicans come to US with their ex.
travsgent claims we have to do some
thing to tame them down."
