Why Democrats Should Work.

The following from the New York
World is worth remembering:
Every Democrat in the country
should do his utmost to elect
Grover Cleveland this year be-
cause
The election of Cleveland means
the restoration OF Democratic prin-
ciples in national affairs, not for a
term but permanently.
Because the election of Cleve-
land will put an end to billion-dol-
larism.
Because his election will bury the
force bill idea with no hope or chance
OF a resurrection.
Because his election will be the
first step toward the breaking
down of that kind of tariff taxation
which aims to enrich the few at the
expense of the many.
Because it will put a final end
to the policy of Capitalization in
which the republics greatest danger
lies.
Because it will free the country
from the scandal of Raum, Elkins.
Woods, Wanamaker and the rest of
the personal shames that have blot
ted its fair name.
Because it will restore the Demo-
cratic idea of government by afavor-
ed class for gain.
Every workingman should do all
he can for the election of Grover
Cleveland, because his election will
go further than anything else could
restore that purity and honesty
OF government which Independents
seek.
Every workingman should do all he
can for the election of Mr.. Cleveland.
because his election mean popular
g government, the equality of men
and an end to the false conditions
which make Carnegies possibles
and permit Pinkertonism tn RIM
1t means equal laws for equal
men and an end of fayors to the

Gen. OdiR Gaitar Asks for e30O, 900
10 Carry on the Republican Cam.
paign In Missouri.
From the surinxf,sld tMo.l DEMOCRAT


From the Springfield NO. Democrat
/, That high strung Republican pa
triot, Colonel Odin Guitar, has been
singing mighty high in Washington
among the great chiefs Of the Repub-
li~ean.party. Colonel Guitar is from
Missouri and he Is saying that the 6.
o. p car carry this State If they on
~ have the money. The Colonel's
idea of politics hinges solely on mon
ely. He IL not backward with his fig
ures. In fact, Colonel Guita. comes
high. This is the story that he told
in Washington. He said the Farm
ers'Alliance people Of Missouri num-
bered fully 10000 people; that at
least 80 1000 of these voted, and four
fifths or 10000 voted the Democrat
ic ticket when not otherwise engaged.
This year these people he said were
decidedly out of humor with the
Democratic party that its utterances
in its platform were not radical
and non-eastern enough to suit them;
that more than 90, 600 of them in con-
sequence would vote the Third Party
ticket with Weaver. Colonel Odin
Guitar also pointed out that the mill
stone round the neck of Missouri
Republicanism was Chauncey I. Fill
ley. He was now disposed in favor
OF Dick Kerens. Getting out from
under the control Of Filley, Colonel
Guitar explained, was worth 100 900
votes alone to the Republicans of
Missouri; that Filley's bossism had
been the worst burdeawABissrssrs
Republicansse.sr struggled under,
Sssa Colonel Guitar wound up by
saying that with a fund of $500, 900.
he could carry the State.
And the tip is out that the leaders
have decided to give Guitar and his
cohorts the money-to Just roll in a
barrel and knock in the head. A
lively and money canvass, if this is
true, may be looked for in Missouri.

MANAGER FRIcK's refusal to in
form the congressional committee
concerning the cost of steel rails can
only have one explanation. Reliable
figures from Homestead show that
the company's profits range from
$14 to SIC per ton. If the COM
pany's profits had been sufficiently
small to have justified a reduction
in the mems wages, the. required in
formation would not have been re-
fused. Even Frick has some sense
of shame.

CONGRESS has at last taken account
of Pinkertonism as a noxious growth
in our civilization, and there is hope
that Congress may exterminate it
root and branch. It is an evil and
dangerous thing to permit a private
person or firm Dr. corporation to en-
list anil maintain a private military
force and to hire out its armed men
for fighting purposes to any one who
may choose TO employ them. The
Pinkertons are doing what even the
States of the Union are forbidden to
do, and il is time 10 put a stop to the
practice. It is the business Of gov
eminent and not of any private
agency TO enforce Law, to keep order,
10 appoint police, and especially to
armed military forces.

Champ Clark Corrects a Mistake.

To the Editor of the Republic.
BOWLING GREEN, July 1S.-The
dispatch from Montgomery City in
yesterdays Republic to the effect
that Colonel Norton had proposed
to me to refer the Congressional
contest back to Pike, Audfain and
Crawford, giving back to Pike and
Audrain their true representation,
is absolutely false. If it had been
made it would have been rejected.
Just why l should agree to give Mr..
Norton another chance to carry three
counties hat / have carried, while
he holds on to st. Charles, Warren
Lincoln, Gasconade and Montgom-
cry, which he carried, is one of
those things which no sensible man
can discover. What's sauce for the

he will let me have a chance at Lin
coin, st. Charles, Warren, Mont
gomery and Gasconade in a prima-
ry, he can have a second chance at
nay four counties. That fair.
