BAZOO GOSSIP.
At the court house last night the
Gossiper met . mossback alliance man
who came in to hear Dick Dalton
speak under the impression that he
would touch on no other subject than
the farmers wrongs. He said: II
sat and I sat. l listened and l listened
but I couldn't hear q COMPOUNDED
word that showed the man had even
passed over farm"
A veteran politician and at the
same time man on whose escutcheon
there is no stain, yesterday said to the
Gossiper: "Tbe democrats Of Pettis
county should be careful in the selec-
lion of their delegates to the state
convention which convenes in Jeffer-
son City on the 18th of May. The
county will be entitled to thirteen
delegates, and those thirteen should
be men of judgment and answering
in adherence to party principles. The
delegation from Missouri should have
and probably will have great influence
in the national convention, and the
state convention should also make no
mistakes in selecting these men,"
Said business man on Ohio street
this morning to the Gossiper: II
see the BAzoo Of yesterday evening
has a report of the collections by
County Collector Doher,y for the
month Of January, and it makes a
splendid showing as compared with
previous years of the like month, and
yet it is only in line with collections
in almost every avenue of trade. My
individual collections were fully fifty
per cent, correspondingly, not count
ing the increase in business. The
fact is, the splendid crops of all kinds
the past season has put the farmers in
fine shape, and it makes the biggest
difference in the world"
Mr.. r. j. Nevins, a prominent
citizen of Milwaukee, was seen at the
Sicher yesterday evening by the Cos
siper. He is democrat, and a very
enthusiastic democrat at the same
time. He is more than hopeful that
the electoral vote of his state will be
cast for the democratic nominee, who.
ever he may be, "but at the same
time," remarked Mr.. Nevins, "there
is splendid piece of presidential
timber in Wisconsin in the person of
VIM. F. Villas, and if a western man
is chosen. you can put it down that
his initials will be NV. F. "" The
Wisconsin gentleman, however, from
what the Gossiper could CLEAN, would
make the ticket cleveland and
Villas"
'There are very few men," said u
city politician to the Gossiper, "who
has, as q chief executive, made 80
many friends and 30 few enemies, as
Mayor Stevens. In q great measure
it is to be accounted for as a result of
straightforwardness, an intense inter
est in the prosperity of the city and a |
disposition to impartially fulfill the
duties of the Office. He is stronger
to-day, not only with the party, but |
with the people generally than
he was at the time
of being elected to office,
and / believe that should he be re-
nominated-Which is now conceded
the opposition will be beaten at the
start. He has made an executive of
which the city is justly proud"
"The farmers of Kansas may not
have obeyed the "Hold Your Wheat"
circular issued some time ago, said a
travelling man to the Gossiper, "but
they are for some reason holding it.
Not farmer in that portion of the
where l have been recently, is selling
that he can hold, and I
heard OF many men who are borrowing
money in preference to selling grain.
The effect has been to make business
rather quiet, and the merchants in
the many small towns are doing a
rushing business. The fact that the
farmers have something to hold, and
which they can sell when they think
The proper time comes, is assuring,
however, aud means that business
throughout the state will not be real
poor during 1892"
