A New Process.

Mudd and Gristy have concluded
that the way to make Democrats is
to take drum and fife and crowd
from Memphis that want otiic. This
we judge, is their opinion of the peo-
pie of the county. All that can see
argument in ibis fife and drum hurrah
of course will he caught and should
hollow '.Hurrah for the brass band
Democracy
The Democratic legislature last
session passed the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved that the Democracy of
Missouri is in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver
! How are you Democrats of Missouri?
, Who stands on the platform now,
the Democrats or the Peoples party
All that is left is the name, and they
Disgusting that by deception and
false promises to voters. Look
Think! Reason, and he men!
Democratic voters: Are you blocks
of wood or stone, or are you men
who see, feel and reason? What has
your party promised? What have
they done? They promised fine
carriages! They promised more tariff
reform. Done waiting, are you?
Blind are you. Mere machines to be
adjusted to suit the surroundings
Come, be men and let the office hunt
ers 60.
A prominent citizen Of this county
who has not been very good Demo
crat in the past, says he will vote
with them this year because the
party undertook to settle the railroad
debt dollar for dollar, and this S. tie
ment ,s true The organized Demo
cracy of the county, that is thu
leaders so claimed at the time, thai
the party must settle the debt dol
lar for dollar, and this they under
took to do.

VOTE FOR YOUR OLD PARTY

This is the only reason the Demo.
cratic party speakers give you in this
county fcr your coutin uca fealty to
them.
They have been crying In tones of
patttts ''iout desert us Just now"
for the past twenty years, whilst the
business of the farmer has gradually
contracted and fallen off in values of
products until It bccomes serious
question with many whether they
shall attempt to hold their farms
longer or mortgage those not already
mortgagcd,
The prices of orses have fallen
off 50 per cent; cows and steers -
per cent, and other products in por-
portion. Nothing seems 70 prorpcr
like bonds and notes. and nothing
else seems to be so productive of
gain to holders.
Money has been made more valua-
bic. Telegraph stack if above par.
Insurance corporations have vast
surplus to loan. Railroad stocks are
productive of vast fortunes.
The manufacturers of our country
have prntuced vast fortunes, whilst
the labOaers which produced the
same are dissatisfied, cramped and
oppressed by the industry their labor
made SO prosperous.
And yet, the farmers and labOrers
are being begged to vote once more
for the men who have been in the
past willing instruments to make laws
by which corpopations and men can
feed upon their labor, live IN luxury
and splendor, and name those who
object Nihilists, Socialists and mobs.
They assume the farmer to be 50
ignorant that he is unable to sec that
the man who feeds upon the products
Of another's labor without giving val
Tie in return therefor, is Nihilist, a
sOcialiat and a robber
And yet, citizens, whose profits are
cleaned by legal oppression. are be-
ing asked to vote again for the same
old system of oppression. which has
goaded them for thirty years with no
hope of a change for the better.
Will those farmers whose homes
ar, DALI growing less comfortable
for their families, think Il little before
they deposit their ballot for the Dem
ocratic or Republican tickets in this
county, state or nation.

The most cowarily and outrageous

The most cowardly and outrageous
conduct of a public character ever
called upon to chronicle ~as that yer
petrsted upon the wife Of General
Weaver in Georgia BY a political mob
of blow hards for the Democratic
party Of that state in throwing eggs
and debris at a Woman and the hus-
band, who is man of national honor,
called upon BY his party to carry its
banner in the contest for what men
Of every political faith in this land
admit to be right, is an insult to cv-
cry than, Woman and child in the
land, and dishonor to the flag of
our nation the guarantee Of honor
able treatment to all citizenship, re-
garlless of residence, race or color.
Yet this is the fruits of arrogance in
Office, years of family rule begets in
science and draws special crowd of
dlsrespectful and vile henclImen
around each official position through
out land to b!acken the characters Of
al! opposers, to insult and vilify. We
have seen just such henchmen in
Scotland county. Shame on the
Democratic party leaders and off,
Gals. What will they not do to
serve the money kings?

The McKanlass Colored Specially

seat was filed and the back aisle
crowded anil we venture to say tha'
every one present was pleased with
the entertainments for it was all and
much more than advertised. Prof.
McKanlass the Banjo King of the
world showed he was entitled to the
crown. He won the applause of the
house at his energy and appearance.
All Of the performers were full of
wit and hulnor. The caricatures were
laughable in til. extreme, and yet
there was nothing in the performance
from opening to close to which the
most refined could raise single OBJ

Gong For Both OF them.

Don't be fooled with claptrap. The
third party is formed to capture the
Republican party, and also the Dem
ocratic party. We are going for both
of them. The prime necessity, the
overwhelming question of the times,
is the improverishment of the people
by the destruction of the money of the
people. The fight is between money
and man, and am for the man. !

Tho Five O'clock Bill.

Editor of tho Tribune:
Once more beg for space in your paper
Referring to the editorial in last nights
paper on disfranchising the workmen,
there is nothing too small or mean for the
Republicans Of the State to do. They are all
monopolistJ and their aim Is to take away
every right that the workingmen have, il
they can possibly do 10. But this time
they have overdone 1t, and the working.
men are fully awake to the situation and
will act accordingly when the time comes,
and the scheme, the o'clock scheme, will
be nipped in tho bud even IL II does pass,
because the workingmen will vote any
way.
Taking all things into consideration
those plotters remind me OF story which
[ have read. The story runs thus: In the
midst OF a terrific storm an old lady, by
name Mrs. Partington, was, with mop and
broom, vigorously trying to drive back
the Atlantic ocean. But the Atlantic was
oused. SO are the working people.
