Politics In Jefferson.

As intimated in this paper last week,
the Byrns crowd got beautifully and
deservedly left in the late Jefferson
county mass meeting. After the del
egates to the State, Senatorial and Con-
gressional Conventions had been nam
ed, came the question of Instructions.
"Then," says the Democrat. 1.-The fun
began. Thomas moved to adjourn.
The chair was unable to decide the aye
and nay vote and division being call
ed for the motion was lost.
bearing then moved that the dele
gates to the congressional convention
be instructed to vote for Judge James
d. Fox and use all honorable means to
secure his nomination.
Senator Byrns moved to amend by
striking out the name of Judge James
d. Fox and inserting that of Judge
James F. Green. and he supported his
amendment in an eloquent plea.
Judge Green then took the floor and
declared that he was not a candidate
thanked his friends for their express
sion of confidence in him and for the
support he had heretofore received
from the people of this county. and
added that when he became a candi-
date he would let the people know it.
He made a very neat and manly speech
which added much to the estimation in
which he has always been held by the
people of the county.

by display of his skill as a debater,

about making a ruling, and for time

From the Normal Town.

Ell. Rcg,ster-The friends and asso-
ciates of Mr.. H. L.. Bell were sorry to
see him leave school last week. He is
missed not only on the lawn where he
excelled in croquet and on the campus
where he successfully welded the bat,
but in the class room as we'll, where
he seldom failed to respond when call
ed upon to recite. He returned to his
home in Belleview where he will await
the opening of the County Institute.
Mr.. Alonzo Hicks of St. Francois
County took leap from the turning
pole last Thursday which was des-
tined to be his last jump for many a

inner malicious is fractured, and the
fibula is broken few inches above
his ankle. Doctors Rider and Tarle-
ton set his leg and enclosed it in a stiff
plaster of paris sheath. He went home
Saturday. Mr.. Henry Cureton who
accompanied him reports that he got
home safe and was in good spirits and
resting comfortably when he left him
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Hicks receiv-
ed the kindest attention from teachers
and students while he remained here
after his mishap, put he is now under
the care of her whose care at such a
time is worth more than that of any
one else. He is a strong man and will.
in all probability, recover as rapidly
as can be expected. but it is feared he
will never be the athletic that he was.
Mr.. Cureton secured the promise of
of good school while he was in St.

As to One John Calvin and Other
Matters.

It. would take great burden Oh tho
Republic if Editor AXE of Irontou would
turn that awful eye away for a week.
Our humble efforts for Democratic
doctrine are sadly disturbed by the
critical demands of the REGISTER. We
would be delighted to please Editor
AXE, but old John Calvin or Jonathan
Edwards was Laodicean compared
with him.-St. Louis Republic.
The REGISTER is not DESTROYS of bur-
dening anybody, and especially our
esteemed metropolitan contemporary.
We certainly hope that its efforts to be
Democratic will become more pro-
nounced in the future than they have
been in the past. The REGISTER, if it
could, would remove every hindering
weight from the Republic, so that it
might become Democratic in every
fibre.
Its reference to John Calvin furnish
es much food for reflection to Demo
Gratis. John Calvin was not arboreal
to take ground. No one had to spec
ulate upon the position which he oc-
cupied upon any question, and there
was no room for bets as to which side
of the fence he would ultimately climb
down upon. When he preached about
hell it was not the kind of a place
where one could reside with comfort in
birthstone affair, warranted to be hot
enough to hurt. When he became
convinced that certain people were
predestined from eternity to the lake
of fire, he had no hesitation in saying
so. If he were alive to-day he would
not be an advocate of silver coinage
that would never coin any silver. He
would be either for the gold standard
or for free coinage. He would not be
ostensibly for one but really for the
other. There was nothing of the Mug.
wump about John Calvin. He never
tried to make himself the umbilical
cord between two divergent factions.
He would not, if he were alive. to-day,
be found supporting Republican ad-
ministration endeavoring to hide itself
behind Democratic mask. John Cal
vim and men of his stamp could not
tolerate hypocrisy. They never at
tempted to deceive or mlslead the peo-
pie. People may not always agree
with John Calvin, but he has always
commanded their respect. No man
can truthfully say that he has con-
tempt for his character.
We are glad that our big city con-
knows something of John
Calvin, and hope it will continue to
carefully study the character of the
man. If it does this, the time, may
come in its history when it can hold
itself out as Democratic newspaper
laying itself liable to the law
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
