CHAMP CLARK COMPLIMENTED.
A Colorado Silver Democrat Pays Our
Congressman q High Tribute
Ciark's speech at Denver.

Bachelor, Colo, January Is
From amid the SHOWS on the crest
of Bachelor Mountain, the produc-
ing section of the famous mining
camp Creole, permit the undersign-
ed to pay a compliment to your
brilliant young champion of the
common people, Congressman
Champ Clark, Of Bowling Green.
knowing that Missouri is with
us, and that your people realize that
the silver question is not and cannot
become a local issue, we of Colorado
feel a great pride in clasping hands
with you, feeling that SO long as
"Silver Dick" Bland and Champ
Clark are permitted to labor with
our Teller and Walcott this most
monentous question will be prop
erly kept before the people.
We have been acquainted with
the life of Mr.. Clark since the days
that wild brambles caressed his
bare legs in the cow pasture down
on the farm. Later when he soap
| ed his front locks to attract trade
to the store in which he clerked,
but it was in later years that he ar
rested the attention of the West.
That occasion was when he made
his great silver speech at the Deep
Harbor convention at Denver. From
the rostrum that day, the brilliant
young Missourian commanded that
vast audience at will. With the
applause of thousands ringing out,
and the honorable glow Of the ma.
tive of the old sod in our own breast,
we looked to the box wherein sal
his charming little wife and it was
a charming scene.
The young champion of silver re-
eeiving the homage of unnumbered
strangers, but no honor higher than
from that box where, first in happy
tears then in laughter, sat Mrs
Clark waving her hand to her hus'
band.
The Democracy of your Congress
man is the kind to admire-unter'
rifed by the power of the Admins
tration when he knows himself to be
right, and always in the interest o
the masses. His brilliant silver speech
in August will live, and almost al
good we're those efforts on the Fed
eral Election Bill and the admission
of Oklahoma. Mr.. Clark is making
a grand fight for more money, The
remedy which will give more relic
than all the tariff laws in Christen
dom can ever accomplish. The
fight is on to the death and the RICH.
must win. We note the leading
men of the country turning away
life long records as friends Of silver
and such a state of affairs is com
parable only to the days of The
repeal of the "Missouri Compro
mise" The result is in doubt, but
the feature of the Democracy, wha
Champ Clark represents, is surely
brilliant. The Great Party Wreck
er in the White House is hoping t
kill silver as currency, but he may
as well try to wipe the Old Stocl
off the face of the earth. Bimetal
lism is an inheritance Of the party
and we are rejoiced that Missouri
is "holding a pat hand" I firmly
believe that Colorado will never
again cast her electoral vote fol
either of the old parties without
unequivocal declarations and silver
candidates.
In conclusion, 1 cheerfully extend
to Mr.. Clark the thanks of hundreds
of admiring Colorado Democrats fol
bis manly stand in behalf of the
hundreds of thousands who are
homeless tonight in America.
I Very Truly Yours,

Amos ]. CUMMINGS, writing to the
New York Sun Of the two or three
new members of Congress who
promise to become leaders, refers
70 Hon. Champ Clark as follows:
ga third man worth noticing is
Champ Clark, of Missouri. Mr..
Clark is tall, light complexioned,
clean shaven, has regular features
and the magnetism of a true western
orator. He has worked or a farm
elerked in a country store, edited a
country newspaper and practiced
law. He has been District Attor-
ney in the county made famous by
Joe Bowers. He graduated at
Bethany College, Virginia, and
when % years old was President oil
Marshall College, West Virginia.
He ranks high in scholarship, and
has a qualntness IN discussion Pc
culiarly attractive and practical. His
speeches in the House sustain the
reputation made by him in Tam
many Hall on the Fourth OF July
last. They force the closest atten-
ton. His similes, tropes and
metaphors are trite and at times set
the House in a roar of laughter.
The story of his trouble in a Wash
ington restaurant was grossly ex-
aggerated, and has not dimmed his
reputation in Congress. He is ever
in his seat and never shirks work
in committee. Missouri, in time to
come, will assuredly be proud of
him.

THE LEDGER.
FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB
liz SCHOOLS,

Superintendent W. I. Darlington,
of the Mexico Public Schools, will
be a candidate for State Superin-
tendent Of Public Schools before the
next Democratic State Convention.
He is a native Missourian and was
born and reared in Galloway coun-
ty, his parents coming from Virginia
and Kentucky and is in the prime
of life, being forty years Of age and
has devoted all his energies to the
building up and improvement of the
Public School system throughout
Missouri. He went to a country
school until he was sixteen years
old when he entered Westminster
College at Fulton, Mo. Being a poor
boy he was forced to leave college at
the age of eighteen when he taught
and farmed until he made money
enough to attend the State Normal
school at kirksville, Mo-, where he
graduated in 1876 at the age of %
years. He was Immediately made
principal of the Piedmont school at
a salary of SIS q month. He has
always been successful as a teacher
and has been gradually climbing
higher and higher, never leaving a
school except to accept a more re-
sponsible position. In 1898 State
Superintendent of Schools Coleman
found Darlington in charge OF the
city schools in Cape Girardeau and
also County Commissioner and
made him Chief Clerk, which posi-
ton he held for four years. While
Chief Clerk in the superintendent
Office he became thoroughly onvers
ant with all the details of the Office
and is in every way fully equipped
for this responsible position. While
Chief Clerk in the Superintendent
Office he founded and edited tn
Missouri School Journal, which Ii
one of the most substantial, pros
porous and able journals of its elias
in the United States. He was prin
cipal of the Springfield, Mo-, HigI
School from 1887 to 1892 and thel
came to this city and is now i
charge of one OF the very best school
in the State. Prof. Darlington is
genial gentleman, a thorough Dem
ocrat, a finished scholar and as a
organizer is peerless. He has
splendid mind for details and ther
is no man more ambitious to forwar
the best interests OF our publ
school system. There is no deparr
ment of the school work in the stat
with which he is not entirely fami
lar and we feel sure that his elet
tion to this most responsible pos
ton would give the public schoC
system of Missouri such a move
ment forward as it never had before
Too much Importance cannot be a
tached to this office and we feel SUI
that in cordially endorsing the car
didacy of Prof. Darlington We al
forwarding the highest and be:
interests of the imperial state of Mi
souri,. The press throughout ii
state is speaking in the highes
terms of him, and is almost unan
nous in endorsing his candidac.
The more the people know of hi
the stronger they will be in h
support. He is honest, earnest an
conscientious. His nominate
would strengthen the ticket. III
election would be for the best int
ests of tine commonwealth regardlea
of party.
