"A. ID. Risdon is one of the
ablest and most fearless proSecut-
ors, Adair county has every had.
The voters, regardless of party
will support him in the coming
election.
The vote November 6, will
open the eyes of the Democratic
leaders to the fact, that the people
consider the Democratic party
wholly unable and totally unfit to
manage the affairs of a great ma
ton.
Upon the election of Repub-
lican Congressman depends the re-
turn of prosperity in all lines OF
business. Eighteen months of de-
preston under Democratic misrule
have taught the people this, and
they will not be slow to act No
vember 6.
The Vice President and L.
S. Hall have both been helping Mr..
Hatch in the First district. But
the distinguished presence of the
one, aud the sophistry of the other
will not avail anything, for the
people have decreed that Hatch
must go, and he is going.
The water works viii soon
be completed, and Kirksville will
have an abundant supply of pure
water. good for the kitchen, laun-
dry bath tub, and lawn. where
is there another town in Missouri
that can boast of as much in the
way of waters
Eighteen months of the
hardest times this country has
ever known, VIII stare the voter in
the face, when he starts to the
polls November 4. When he re-
members our past prosperity, and
thinks of the present depression
he will walk up and cast his vote
for the Republican party.
Last Monday afternoon L.
S. Hall told the people in the Ma
sonic Hall, that there we've two
grades of foreign wool, one grown
in Spain and the other in Australia
that, when mixed with our native
wool in the ratio of = pounds OF
the foreign wool TO 10 pounds OF
our native wool. made the best
cloth in the world. If Halls
statement is true, why in the name
OF common business sense didn't
the Wilson bill put these two grades
on the free list and protective
tariff on all other common grades.
and thus give the American sheen
a chance.
The patrons of our Missouri
Public schools pay % per cent
more for their school books than is
paid for much better books in
other states. They do this be-
cause our Legislature contracted
with Chicago syndicate to fur
niSh a poorly bound quality of
books for term of years, at prices
far above what they should be. If
YOU want to elect a man who will
make a strong fight against the
book monopolies that are now re-
ceiving tribute from the patrons of
our public schools, vote for A. n.
Seaber.

"A. n. Seaber is making a
splendid canvass for the Office of
State Senator. While presenting
the strongest arguments for Re
publicanism, he is ever courteous
and gentlemanly toward his op-
ponents. AS a consequence he
makes friends outside the party,
wheresoever he goes. His clec-
ton is now an assured fact.
Hall says that the tariff bi |
saves the consumers of sugar
$40, 900, 900 in the way of bounty:
but he failed to tell the people that
the same law took $40, 600, 900 out
of the pockets of the consumer and
put it into the pockets ofthe sugar
trust, a difference of $50, 900, 900
in favor of the sugar trust and
against the people. That amount,
however, is only a small item to
pay for the luxury of Demo-
cratic mismanagement.
II. j. Dockery received this
week from the circuit clerk OF
Schuyler county, certified record
of the much talked of case against
Mr.. GriSham. The record reciIes
that Mr.. Grisham was arrested in
Schuyler county, March 10, 1865,
and was released in Kirksville on
a writ of habeas corpus, March Is,
1865. No information, evidence or
affidavit having been filed against
him. This should be conclusive
in regard to Mr.. Grisham's inno-
cence of the charges against him.
An effort was made by the
Democrats and Populists last Mon
day to come to an understanding
in regard to the county tickets. 1t
was thought that, through sort OF
swapping process they could get
up a tolerably respectable ticket
by taking the best men from each,
and then have both parties en-,
dorse the men selected. 1t did not
work, however, as the Democrats
refused to endorse anything out
side the Democratic ticket. The
lesson Governor Stone gave then
on the endorsing or fusion business
has not been without its effect
and it matters not how strong is
the wish to endorse populists, il
the hope of getting one or two O
the county offices, they know thai
they dare not do it, as Governor
Stone is liable to be a prominent
political figure for some years to
come, and will resent any attempt
to curry favor with the populists
1t is understood, however, that The
Democrats will place Gridley OF
their ticket for treasurer instead
of Bailey, who has resigned, and
that the Populists will return tht
favor by putting Shibley and Lyds
on their ticket.

Was n Poser.

At the populist ghost dance in the
Bliss building Saturday night an elderly
gentleman, probationer In that pecu
liar faith, who had evidently been read
ing the News articles on farm mortgages,
fired poser at the sachems which
threw the council into confusion and
precipitated an adjournment. Speakers
had for some time been holding forth
on the evils of capitalism, the present
system of land ownership, tenantry, in.
terest. etc, when the gentleman in
question rose and presented the follow.
ing conumdrum: A farmer who has
grown Old rents his farm and removes
to town. The farm in this case is his
capital and the rent virtually interest
Is the old farmer an enemy of his race
and does he do wrong in exacting com
pensation for the use of his land
Simple as the proposition appears upor
its face, three statesmen tried to answ el
1t without coming in conflict with theii
former utterances. The questioner in
sisted upon straight answer, but hs
didn't get it, and at last resort it wa
announced that it was time to go home
The incident is simple in itself, but |
showsthe Inconsistency Of the populis
creed when viewed in the light Of com
mon sense. e.-Aberdeen News.

Hrs Credentials sum cient.

The Yankton Press, commenting upon
the fact of the late acquisition of an In.
dian by the democratic party of this
state, SAYS: "Tbe fact that the demo.
cratic party of South Dakota has acquir-
ed an Indian, and a reputed chief at
that, which was an event Of the Sioux
Falls convention, has given the party at
large great encouragement. 1t is the
first convert since the patriarchs can re-
member. and coming to them in all the
pristine purity of bar barism, this savage
has awakened long dormant emotions

under which the aforesaid representa-.
tive ofthe degenerate Sissetons is known
among men. BY his own confession, he
is not so wise as was one other Solomon
Of whom we read. Mr.. Two Stars made
speech in the democratic convention
at Sioux Falls in which he told them he
could neither read nor write. but he was
democrat. His credentials being
deemed sufficient he was duly received.
With Tammany camp at It's eastern
end and Sisseton camp at its western
end, the democratic party will be well
entrenched in its aboriginal department.

A Summer Hotel.

Fred T. Evans will start tomorrow
night for Colorado to gather ideas for
the erection of big four hundred room
summer hotel. He told the Herald
man to-day that 1t would probably be
built on the picturesque heights looking
down on the Union depot from which
an elevator would be run to spare guests
the fatigue of climbing. It will be con-
structed OF wood on q first story of rough
stone and will have spacious veranda hs
surrounding II. Our native stucco will
figure largely In some decorative effects
Altogether this will be just the kind Of
hotel We have been needing, and we
trust the project will be successfully
carried out. Mr. Evans says he will be
gone about ten days.-Herald.

THE TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the republi-
cans on Saturday, while it fails to give
universal satisfaction, as in the case of
all former tickets nominated in this or
any other county, and as will be the
case with all tickets which may be here
after nominated is nevertheless strong,
and worthy of the hearty support of all
true republicans. II is a matter for
regret that the nomination Of political
ticket by any party, or in any place, has
been definitely determined to be, and is
utterly beyon the range of human pos
sibilities. 1t is also a matter for the
most profound regret that the element
of human spite enters so largely in the
estimate OF the masses in the measure
Of the merits OF candidates for official
positions. Ii is proper To consider the
competency, integrity and party loyalty
of candidate in q candid and unpre-
judiced manner, and being satisfied in
this direction, personal hatred. however
strong it may be. should be put aside.
1t is simply the duty Of all republicans
SO long as they claim allegiance TO the
party, to support all Of its nominees
who are believed TO be capable and
honest. This is duty which all men
owe to the party to which they belong,
and in no case should personal spite be
permitted to interfere with this inn
portant duty. The convention is 10 be
congratulated upon the selection of
honest and capable men as candidates,
consistently said rejecting upon his
honor or capability. Should the repub-
licans remain true to their principles.
stand firmly to their colors and support
their ticket. not a single name upon it
will go down to defeat. This is pre-
eminently a republican year, and all
true republicans should, and will do
everything in their power to retain the
prestige Custer county has already
achieved in the acquisition Of the proud
title Of the banner republican county oi
the Black Hills. The ticket is one oi
the strongest, and least Objectionable
that has ever been submitted to the
consideration of the republicans of Gus
ter county. Let Us give it our earnest
and ardent support. to the importan,
end that every name upon it may bs
overwhelmingly elected from top tc
bottom.

Waite, populist, assumed executive
functions in Colorado there..was 100000
in the state treasury. Less than two
