The Democrats are finding |
out just now how much easier 1t
would be to handle a surplus, than
it is to handle deficit.
Democratic politics begin
to have silver lining, SO to speak,
but the lining is not at all sstis-
factory to Mr.. Cleveland.
MIR. Cleveland is finding out
that there are two or three men
in the country beside himself.
One Of these other men is John u.
Carlisle.
What became of the DEM
ocratic caucus. It was to have
convened last Friday to recon-
mend candidate for assessor to
Governor Stone.
in the assessors fight the
Democratic Central committee OF
Aiair county has been suddenly
confronted with the question,
"Where are we at.
ALL the towns of Northeast
Missouri are working to secure the
Sioux City railroad. Their COM
bined influence ought to be sutf-
cient to bring it down this way.
Gov. Stone has not forgot
ten that the manipulation of the
Democratic party by the Demo-
cratic ce entral committee last fall,
cost him about 700 votes in Adalr
county.
1t is reported that MAJOR
Brock, chief of Bureau OF Stats
tics, will not return to Missouri
when he retires from office, but
will remain in Washington and
engage in the practice OF law.
Gov. Stone says that g Re-
publican who will send him a Pc
tltion asking to be appointed as
SCISSOR of Adair county is mighty
cheeky. He proposes to give the
appointment to a democrat.
Major Gillespie has given
up the fight for Chief OF Bureau
Of Satisfies. President Cleveland
had Missouri Colonel selected
for the place before the Major FL
ed his appli cation. The Major
will haye to move his title up
notch as nothing below Colonel
goes in Missouri.
Hawaii may have delight
full climate, but at the present time
it would not be an agreeable place
for mar like John A. Dix, who
said, "If any man attempts tt
haul down the American flag
shoot him on the spot" Patriot.
ism seems to be below par there
just now.
"A leading Democrat says
that the Democratic central com
mittee may recommend a candl'
date to Governor Stone for the
Office of assessor, but after taking
the part in the Populist movement
that the CO mmittee did last fall
the Governor will want the com.
mittee to furnish some good
strong and sound recommends
tions for itself.
The financial situation con
tinues to be the chief subject o.
attention at Washington, an6
throughout the country. Las
week the free gold in the Treasury
vanished, and an encrochment was
made on the Sl00.0OO.000 gold re.
serve for the redemption of green
backs. When the free gold disap
pears there are three things the
Secretary of the Treasury can dc
at such time, any one of which
he may do--issue bonds, utilize
the S100,000,000 gold reserve until
the drain should stop or further
use of that fund would seem per.
ilous, or redeem the coin certificate
issue under the Sherman act IL
silver dollars instead of gold, as
now. Each of these courses or {
combination of them is legally
open to him. While it is impos
sible to predict what decision may
be reached by Mr.. Carlisle and the
President, it would seem to be
only common sense to use at lesst
a considerable part of the stock Of
100000, 5000 of gold in the treas.
