A Card from Mr.. Gam.

Az N00 ~ Va boo ODSOh
DEAR SIR:-Through your kindness
I wish to say to the democrats Of
Lafayette county that, owing to an
irregularity IN my vote in the congress
si0nal convention, held in Lexington,
September 10, the correspondents Of
the Kansas CityWorld and Kansas City
Star have seep ft not only to communi-
cate my vote to their respective papers,
but also In their communications they
give reasons for the so casting of my
vote, which reasons are misrepresen-
tations Of myself, and the said CORE
s~pondents are simply mistaken In
assigning such reasons.
When l cast my vote, as l did, in
that convention, l considered that !
was exercising my right as a delegate
to that convention, and also that / was
doing my duty by 80 casting my vote,
and l only hope that l will ever have
the manliness to stand up for what !
consider my duty, whether that duty is
representing true, honest democracy.
or something else which I consider my
duty to do.
Furthermore, i want to say that tho
taunts Of irresponsible correspondents
of metropolitan newspapers can no
more turn me from the path OF
righteOusness-which Is democracy
than they u turn the sun aside from
his celestial path, and that too much
loyal democracy flows through my
veins to even think of supporting a
man who believes in such glorious(p p
government as this state had imme-
diately succeeding the late civil war.
Would l hesitate for one moment not
to support the nominee of my party
because ! did not get my manP No!
That would not be democracy, and
nothing but democracy is known In
my vocabulary. ! aud my ancestry
never knew how to use ANY other kind
Of q lexicon than q democratic one.
Finally. though ! have yet my first
vote to cast, I expect-if the Most
High is w%illing-to put a ticket in the
polls, next November, untainted with
republican R0dmanizers and not dis
graced with pOpulist calamity howlers
Ia o word, fellow-demOcrats of imperial
old Lafayette, | was d democrat before
the congressional convention and | am
Q democrat still.
Yours Sincerely,
THOMAS l.. GANN,
Odessa, Mo.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

The republicans have nominated q
candidate for congress.
His name is Van Horn, and IL is q
familiar name, too.
Every one of the sold timers know
him to their sorrow.
There is no better way to Judge Of
the future than by the past; no better
way of judging what a man will be than
by what he has been.
DIR. Field was a candidate for tho
republican nomination, and was con
sidered q formidable one.
DIR. Field has long been a republican
leader, and has held the respect and
esteem of the entire party in this dis.
trict. Therefore, what the doctor has
to say concerning the republican nom
inee will be accepted as very significant,
He has written a letter to the voters
Of the district, which is worthy of O
passing notice. 1t contains a bit Of
history, too, which will be of interest
just now.
We give the letter in full, that nc
charge of misconstruction IA be
brought against us.
DIR. Field says:
al am deeply grateful tor the hearty
support given me by my friends in the
late contest for the congressional nom.
ination in the fifth district of Missouri,
in which l would unquestionably have
been the choice Of the people had they
not been thwarted by the treachery Of
Van Horn and his henchmen.
"His methods in politics have always
been dark, and his present victory was
only obtained by deceiving myself and
the other candidates.
"When urged by his friends Gas he
calls them) to declare himself a candi
date like the rest Of US, he declined,
apparently with sincerity.
"At the last moment, however, wher
he perceived that there was no posi-.
bilIty of q close convention, he entered
the primaries. During his purposely'
arranged absence, his trusted servant
Doc. Edwards, called a cOnclavt
together in the Journal office, on Sat.
urday night, September %, at which
he was brought forth as q reluctant (P)
candidate.
"The generalization of Missouri
politics dates from 1868, when General
Shields, who was an honor to hi
adopted country, was most v%illainously
defrauded out of his election as repre-
sentative in congress from this district
in favor OF Van Horn.
"The recollection of this crime is moi
yet forgotten in this district. nor car
the man be found who can tell wha'
Van Horn ever accomplished for Kan
sas City, this district, or this nation,
while he held his Office, except t.
assist in feeding a herd of political
buns, and drawing his own perquisiteI
and salary. His term marks tn
%springing up of a rivalry between MIR
Filley and Van Horn, which has KEEP
the republican party ever since from
doing any good as a party organization
in Missouri.
"Did any n ever hear of a protest
from Van Horn, either while in con
gress or through his paper, against thu
decentralization of silver, except since
discussed that question through the
pressp
"In conclusion, ! would say that
decline to appoint delegates from IT,
wards and districts accredited to me
and request my friends to stay ava.
from II convention, the selection o
whose members in the interest of Val
Horn was only made possible b.
notorious manipulation that stopped a
nothing to attain its end"
