be found an open correspondence
between George G. Vest and R. H.
Cauthorn, chairman of the People S
Party Committee of Audrain county.
Senator Vest is correct in the posi-
ton which he takes in reference to
the invitation to a joint discussion
with some representative of the Peo-
ple's Party, and we invite close at
tention to the Senator's letter. There
should be no discussion between the
Peoples Party and the Democratic
party. They should fight the COM
mon enemy. Upon most of the is
sues that maintain in the great con-
test this fall there is very little, if any, ,
difference between these two par
ties. We would like to see a clean
sweep in Audrain county. We would
like to see Stone or Warner secure
every vote in the county. We would
like it better, of course, to see Stone
get all of the votes.

THE La Crosse Lumber Company
of Louisiana, Mo. is one of the most
successful and best managed whole
sale lumber firms we know of any
where. This firm is composed of
young business men who are making
a busin, IS reputation for themselves
and for the communities in which
they live and do business. In ad-
dition to the improvements which
have been made by this firm lately a
large plant is being built which will
do milling work. The La Crosse
firm promises to defy competition in
this line of building material. The
milling work in Mr.. Luckie's house
and also in Mr.. Barth's residence
was gotten out by the La Crosse
Lumber Co. The La Crosse Com
pany is prepared to furnish every
thing necessary to build a residence
even to the paint, and, by the way,
every line of their paints is receiving
a well deserved reputation wherever
used.

THE capacity of Hardin College
must be increased and the matter
is now being discussed by promi-
nent citizens of Mexico. Some esti-
mate of the cost necessary has been
made, and we judge that it will take
about $40, 900 to erect fine build
ing just in front of the present build
ings. Mr.. VIM. Harper, President
of the board of directors, is taking
an active and earnest interest in the
matter, and we trust that before the
school opens again the capacity will
be increased at least one third. Har-
din College is a grand institution
and we do not want to see pupils
turned away for want of room.

BUTLER, Mo-, Sept. MY DEAR
SIR: Yours of the 9Th inst, request
ing me to divide time with a repre-
sentative of the Peoples Party at
Mexico on the 18th day of this
month, has just been received. AS
l am canvassing under the direction
of the State Democratic Committee,
it would be proper that your COM
munication should be addressed to
that body ;and, Notwithstanding your
promise to "furnish a man worthy
of my STEEL" / would certainly not
agree to meet an opponent whose
character is unknown to me. | will
not be SO disingenious, however, as
to place my declination upon the
grounds named. There are other
and more cogent reasons. The bat
tie in Missouri is between the DEM
ocratic and Republican parties and
the Peoples Party is not factor in
the case, except as it may draw Dem
ocrats away from their past affilia-
ton and thereby weaken the Demo
cratic party in its opposition to the
Republicans. MIR. Leonard has no
possible hope for election, nor has
Gen. Weaver the slightest chance for
securing Missouri's electoral vote.
Their candidacy is hopeless of any
other result that harass and weaken
the Democratic party by obtaining
votes from that organization. have
no contest with the Peoples Party
of Missouri, unless it is to persuade
the Democrats who have joined it to
resume their political connection
with the Great Party which can
alone prevent Republican misrule
More than this, l understand the
Peoples Party to favor Tariff Reform
and bi-melallism, and to be unalter-
bly, opposed to the Force Bill. Upon
these vital issues we are agreed, and
while l cannot favor the sub-treasury
scheme, nor the purchase of railroads
by the government and other tenets
of your party, l am anxious to avoid
antagonism with those who are
friendly to the essential objects sought
by all true Democrats. Nothing
could give more unalloyed pleasure
to the Republicans of Missouri than
joint debate between speakers of the
Democratic and Peoples parties,
and | do not propose to contribute
in any degree to their enjoyment.
My fight is with them.
Very Truly,
G. e. VEST.

show. Many ladies were present
even from away down the Valley,

Grafton il was by far the best show
these gentlemen have ever ihad; bet
ter mules and more of them, there
being some fifty or sixty on the
ground. The judges selected out of
this little multitude of people were
Mr.. Glenn, of Galloway county;
Gene Jones, of Cedar Grove, and
Cook Groves, of Prairie View.
There were four different rings
shown and in each ring there were
some eight or ten very toppy mules
which caused the judges to look
closely and give much thought to
points in order to decide which one
was the most deserving of the rib
bon. This is the strongest evil
dence that the Crockett Bros. keep
and handle none but the best of
jacks. The following parties took
premiums ON their colts: w. A.
Edmonston for best mare mule by
Paymaster; S. l.. Lundy, best horse
mule by Paymaster; Richard Throg-
morton, best mare mule by Bill
Bass, and Robert Boyd, best horse
mule by Bill Bass. Compliments
are due the judges for their consid
crate thought and selections made,
for every mule on the ground we
thought was good one and it was
difficult tu tell where the tie should
go. On this occasion the box of
Havana cigars, compliments of R.
M. White, editor Mexico LEDGER,
was very much enjoyed by the
crowd and we will speak for others
