FROM WARMERS HOME.
An Interesting Letter On the Po-
liticaI Situation, and Other
Gossip.


The past week has been one of UNI
usual warmth. politically, although
the weather has been such Us to re-
mind us of overcoa,s and of the fact
that old winter will probably no
longer Ginger in the lap of summer,
as she has done for the past two or
three wears agone.
! During last week, outside of the
usual attractions at the theatres,
which were varied and of unusual in
tere>t, the democratic wigwam has
nightly been filled with vast con-
course of people, to listen to able and
eloquent speakers expound the doc
trines of democracy. There has been
no lukewarmness, no faltering in the
pronunciamentoes of the doctrines of a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people"
During last week Ex-Governor
Chas. Robinson of Kansas, was the
guest of Missouri democrats and de-
livered telling speech, Astounding in
facts and figures, and mainly devoted
to tariff reform, civil service and the
force bill. The speech was, in fact,
an answer to the Topeka speech of Ex-
Senator John J. Ingalls,.
While Gov. Robinson NAV not pos
sess the eloquent tongue Of the Ex-
Senator, and his diction may not reach
that gentleman's altitude, it is
safe to say that the fig
ures he produced and the bare
facts spread out before his audience,
told with more than tenfold effect
than did the ex-senator's eloquence
and rhetoric in defense of the g. o. p.
When it Is understood that
GOV. ROBINSON WAS \ REPUBLICAN,
in the old regime, and in the bloody
DAYS of kansas-when the fight was
on between Jayhawkers and Border
Ruffians-when John Brown was in
the flesh and in the zenith of his mad
ambition. before he had reached the
shores of Virginia and sounded his
own death knell-when he was known
is Ossawatomie Brown-that it was in
these DAYS that Gov. Robinson was
republican, and while governor of
Kansas was arrested and taken from
Il steamboat at Lexington, Mo-, where
he was guarded at the house Of Hon.
Samuel l.. Sawyer, afterwards con-
gresham from this district, beating
John I. Crisp for that honor. When
these things are taken into consider
alton, say, and men gaze upon his
venerable appearance and listen to his
appeals i'm behalf of the democratic
party, they have not only a peculiar
significance but bear Il weight that
reached the thinking mans under
standing and causes him to ponder
the question of 81 great a change in
such character.
REPUBLICANS ARE On THE RUN,
and rs usual in their warfare, when
tightly pressed. are beginning to call
upon the federal government for a.
si-tance. The cry of ''Stand up for
Missouri by the Warner element has
died bornin' and democrats even
who were ''weak-kneed' have to come
To see its fallacy.
The evening Star. which has all
through the campaign held high the
banner of Warner for governor and
Cleveland for president. will find by
the 9th of next month how futile was
its effort, even more ~ than was its
fight only Il short tiiue ago tor the
National Water works IL against
Kansas CITY.
Republicans are now claiming
fraud in the regi>tration-,hat the
Democrats are going To vote dead men.
They cry now for an honest election.
Back in 1868, when Van Horn. of the
Journal went to Congress and Warner
accepted the position of prosecuting
attorney of the di>trict-when Frank
Rodman counted them i'm by the burn
ins of the ballots of jackson county
and DISTINGUISHING her voters. they did
not call for United States marshals.
On. no il was the other hull being
gored.
But now they want them and want
them bad.
They want them to save Major War
ner from defeat.
It's TOO LATE.
The cry of "stand up for Missouri
has been tried and is of no avail, We
must resort to force II necessary.
\ prominent republican said to me
the other day:
II know you are a Democrat, now
will vote for Cleveland for president
if YOU will vote for Warner for COVER
nor.
