The war between Hon. Sam. Byrns
and W. r. Edgar of IrontOn, in the
contest for the Congressional nomina-
tion in this district is at white heat,
and the Potosi Independent Byrns
organ) and the Ironton REGISTER ed
gar organ) are lampooning each other
in the most virulent manner. We
would advise them to cease their in
ternicine strife and pool their issues
on Carter, the coming man. Byrns
and Edgar are not in it-or won't be
when the canvass closes.
Times.
The intimation that the REGISTER is
opposing Mr.. Byrns in the interest of
Mr.. Edgar cannot be permitted to pass
unchallenged. The course of this pa
per would have been the same if Mr..
Edgar had not been candidate-we
mean its course as to criticism of Mr..
Byrns' public actions while congress
man. 1t is as the organ of the other
wise unvoiced Democrats of the district,
whose wishes have been ignored and
interests set at naught, that the REGIS
TER speaks. There is not paper in
the district but knows we are right in
this matter; we regret to say that but
one other Democratic journal in the
district has had the backbone to give
voice to the well-grounded dissatisfac-
ton which prevails concerning Mr..
Byrns' course.

big majority.
Why should the Democrats re-elect
the man who went square against what
he knew to be the sentiments of his con-
stituents? He helped to defeat Mills; he
entered the Hill-Gorman combine to
down Cleveland and thereby defeat
tariff reform and if it had not been for
the sturdy good sense of the masses of
the people who stuck to Cleveland and
forced these goddess politicians to come
back to Cleveland, he would have been
defeated. The sensible Democrats of
Texas elected Mills Senator, and his
triumph helped to re-establish tariff
reform as the great issue. But Sam.
Byrns did all he conld to aid the con-
spirators and defeat Cleveland and
Mills. Now let the Democrats defeat
him. A DEMOCRAT.

Specimen Cases.

S. H. Clifford, New Cassell, Wis,
was troubled wit. Neuralgia and Rheu-
matism, his Stomach was disordered,
his Liver was affected to an alarming
degree, appetite fell away, and he was
terribly reduced in flesh and strength.
Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured
him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg,
ILL.,, had running sore on his leg of
eight years standing. Used three bot
ties of Electric Bitters and seven boxes
of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg
is sound and well. John Speaker,
Catawba, O., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incura-
able. One bottle Electric Bitters and
one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured
him entirely. Sold by P. R. Crisp's

mounted a chair, and tried to talk to
him. Eli Klotz would not permit him
to talk to me, but wanted to do all the
talking himself. l could get no reason
out of Malugen. Pandemonium broke
loose; Wilson announced the vote again
and that l was elected chairman. !
took the chair and proceeded with the
business. We elected our delegates
and adjourned.
Malugen after comforting awhile with
the Byrns ieutenants called for NOM
nations for chairman. They nomin-
ated and elected S. A. Lee. Elected
delegates and adjourned. This was
going ON at the same time and in feet
of where I was, except that we con-
cluded before they did.
The Byrns men admit the accuracy
of the count. but contend that all their
men were not counted. For arguments
sake admit. Whose fault was it?
They had the time and opportunity to
vote. But the allegation is not true,
Eli Klotz, who was Chief of Staff on the
Byrns side made four several trips ON
the Byrns side of the street to get
everybody possible. There WAS some
fifty men standing on their side; but
tbo1y 1xoro cpaotatorc Pop,,blioapc ap1
non-residents. This too, was trick,
Malugen had ordered the Edgar men
to go on the sunny side of the street
and the Byrns' men on the shady side.
The spectators, of course, were on the
shady side.
Several Byrns' men have publicly de-
nounced the action of the Byrns leaders.
One of their delegates has denounced
it; says Byrns was fairly beaten, and
that he will have no part in an attempt
to rob Mr.. Edgar of Benton Township.
Evidence is accommodating and is almost
sufficient to justify me in saying that a
row and a contest was premeditated on
their part, and was part of their plan
of action. This is not known to
a certainty, but if it is found out and
the parties engineering it can be ascer-
tanned, intend to publish them to the
world. There is no question but what
Edgar had majority of the Democrat
ic votes of Bentor Township. Conserv-
ative Byrns men admit this.
In conclusion, permit me to say,
that am actuated, in writing this let
ter, by no motive under the sun than
that the truth may be known. and that
the Democrats of the 18th Congression-
al district may know what actually took
place. / believe that / was in a posi-
ton to be as fair as any man there, be-
cause l had been sick for three weeks,
in bed one week, and that was the first

active part because l did not feel we'll
enough. had rather see justice done
than even my brother win an Office by
unfairness. Very Respectfully,

The Public Lectures.

Ed. Register-You will please pardon
me for occupying so much of your space
at one time, but my heart and soul are
in this work; and, while | am not in
the least discouraged, / do feel a little
disappointed at the lack of interest on
the part of our citizens in the intellect
ual and educational treat had prepar-
ed Or them. When at our last Insti-
tute / induced the teachers to hold the
session just closed at Ironton, prom
| ised them that would arrange to have
series of lectures. This my extensive
acquaintance, professionally, enabled
me to do. The lecturers secured were
the ablest in the country. and how
strange it is that, while a ten-cent In
dian show will fiji the Academy of
Music to Overlooking, these rare l-ter-
ary feasts were attended by the teach
ers and very few citizens only. In
fact so little interest was manifest by
the people of the Valley that actually
mott led two speakers engaged not to
come.
Now, Mr.. Editor, there is something
wrong here, and while / am not pre-
pared 10 say what it is, deprecate the
fact none the less and almost feel that
it is a rebuke to me for presuming too
muc- on the literary taste of our citi-
zens. These teachers Lave spent over
two thousand dollars in town, every
cer. of which has circulated among the
people, and do think they should have
been treated with more respect, aside
from other considerations. To my sur
prise the teachers voted to come back
next year and do the same thing-yes,
to hold the Institute at Ironton.
Mr.. Patrick's address on the Ideals
of Life" was a marvellous literary pro-
duction and was delivered in a clear,
forcible manner. Mr.. Patrick is one
of the clearest thinkers in the West,
and his addresses are are usually deliv-
before coming here, to fifteen hundred
people. Imagine his surprise and my
feelings on the occasion of his visit to
our lovely Valley.
DR.. James address On the ssAncient
Schools of Learning was an able his
torical review of those institutions, and |
yet he was treated little better than
the visitor before referred to. |
Prof. Bogg's ability as a public speak
er, clear thinker, and deep scholar is |
sufficient to draw an audience any
where else, yet, there were not more |
than dozen, aside from the forty |
teachers, who heard his able and elo-
quent address on education.
Judge Emerson's lecture on .'Silent |
Influences, their potency and perma-
nency" was a model of refined and |
philosophical thought, and was deliv-
cred in the pleasant manner so char
acteristic of the Judge; yet the teach
ers and a half dozen citizens composed |
his audience. The Judge always has
many hearers in other places, yet here,
in our bosted Athens of Southeast Mis-
souri,, he can not draw an audience.
State superintendent Wolfe's official |
position in relation to the children of |
the state, and his earnest efforts IN be-
half of the same, should have caused |
every parent to feel a deep interest in |
his coming. He has never refused to |
visit Iron county when asked to do so |
by the undersigned. We're you out to |
hear him, reader? am not complain

MAJ. WARMERS slogan is ..stand up

of front; for twenty-five years past, the
Missouri Republicans have never lost
an opportunity to say something mean
about our State. Their orators and
organs have done all in their power to
give us a hard name abroad. Their
efforts availed naught, however, and
now they want to join the procession,
and share in the glories of Missouri
brought about by Democratic rule and
Democratic officials. 1t is all right
enough for them to ..share in the glo-
ry," but they can't expect to carry Mis-
souri, for the Republicans. The people
yet remember too well how their inter-
ests suffered when that party was form
