ssBLANp's BOLT"
Row He IL Endeavoring to Divide the
Democracy or Missouri.

LEBANON, Mo-, October 2.-This
is the home of Congressman "Dick"
Bland. Before his departure for the
National Capital, a week ago, the
Tf~ree-silver advocate inaugurated here
his first move toward the carrying
out of his threat to divide the Demo-
cratic party of Missouri in the cam
paign next year. In accordance with
his plans, petitions headed as fol-
lows are being circulated throughout
this county:
eve, the undersigned voters of
Laclede County, disappointed at the
action of the Democratic Admins
tration on the silver question, here
by unite in a call for a mass meet
ing, to be held at Lebanon, for the
purpose of recognizing the Demo
cratic party in LacledeC ounty ,pledg,
ed to the free coinage of silver at its
| present ratio and the abolition of the
national banking system; that such
organization be made effective to the
end that in the campaign of 1894
} representatives of the people may
be kept in Congress, instead of The
election of representatives of Wal
street, dictated hy the Federal AID
ministration, and the nomination
t and election of a Western Democra
4 to the presidency in 1896, pledget
to these principles"
After this convention is held it i
Mr.. BANDS purpose to have simila
mass meetings held in all the coun
. ties of the State for the purpose G
denouncing Mr.. Cleveland and hi
administration. This is vouched fo
y by BANDS closest friends here, an
n already the leaders OF the party j
l. Laclede County have warmed up t
a bitter feeling on the question {
supporting Bland in what the Ae
70 ministration Democrats here al
Is pleased to term "Bland's bolt"
le his party. There are many Admir-
n istration Democrats here, and the
n predict that if he continues his fgl
I'd on Cleveland along the lines laid Of
~ in the appeal to the voters to me

Cleveland, that they will lend

CIeyeIand's Letter.

The Kansas City Star, referring
to Cleveland's letter in reference to
the delay in the Senate pending the
repeal of the Sherman act, says:
The President gives his idea of
what is wanted in the way of legis-
lation. He believes in a readjust-
ment of our currency, legislation
to begin with the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman law,
and he says in SO many words, that
he is opposed to ''the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver by this
country alone and Independently"
In this letter President Cleveland
speaks for himself. His personal
views and opinions have been ask
ed for and he gives them. So
thorough is his conviction that he
is right that he expresses his sur
prise that the minority opposition
in the Senate should exist. He
regards such opposition as causing
a delay injurious and dangerous to
the best interests of the country.
AS a Democrat writing to another
Democrat he expresses the hope
that the party of their own choice
will not place itself in a position
to be held Justly responsible" fol
a great catastrophe.
It is the spirit as we'll as the Ian.
guage of this letter which is to be
commended. 1t is a manly letter.
There is nothing weak or equivocal
about it. There is no avoidance or
evasion or double-meaning in 1t.
There is no conditional or temporary
opinions set forth in any line OF
word. The President, being a free
American citizen and a voter of legal
age, talks like one.
The President has not at any
time said or done anything beyond
or above Or outside of his Legitimate
province and powers, and the abuse
lavished upon him for such alleged
conduct is s%enseless. President
Cleveland does not consider that
his position as Chief Magistrate of
the Republic deprives him of any
of his rights as an American citizen,
and above all of the right to enter
tain his OVID opinion of what is the
best for his country and to express
that opinion. The positiveness
with which he has held opinions
and has expressed them, has char
.acterized every President of the
UnitedStates who will live in history,
and has most distinguished those
who will be remembered longest.
The country is to be congratulated
on the fact that its highest officer
is no ~time-server, nor a trucker,
nor a coward, but an intellectual
giant, who strikes from the shout

Perhaps some of our readers
would like to know in what respect
Chamberlain's C oughRemedy is bet,
ter than any other. We Will tell
YOU. When this remedy is taken
az soon as a cold has been contract,
ed. and before it has become settled
in the system, it will counteract the
effect of the cold and greatly lessen
it's severity, if not effectually cure
the cold in two days time, and 1t is
the only remedy that will do this.
1t acts in perfect harmony with ma
ture and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the se%cretions, Ique'
fying the mucus and causing its ex'
pulsion from the air cells OF the
lungs and restoring the system to
strong and healthy condition. Nc
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. Nc

the star of the Pan-American BIZ

promulgated the following: But now
the cowardly political and financial
leaders of America, led by the gold

to the manarchial gold money basis

met to serve notice upon the money
kings of Wall street that we want
and viii have not only a sound mon
ey but a sufficient quantity of mon
