came from. No more of them
should be allowed to come here.
-Altgeld. of Illinois. and
Stone. of Missouri. are opposed to
President Cleveland in calling out
the United States troops to pro-
tect the mails and commerce of
the country. Nothing more. how
ever was to be expected of an
anarchist, nor could we expect
much more of man whose first
public utterance after getting into
Office was an attempt to ressurrect
an issue that has been dead for
thirty years.
Master Workman Sovereign
ordered out all the Knights of
Labor. This order was made out
of sympathy for Debs, but it fell
fiat in all the great labor centers.
Had the order been obeyed about
800, 900 men would have walked
out, only to have their places sup
piled by that number who are idle.
The Knights of Labor have acted
with better Judgment than a num-
ber of other labor organizations
have done.
Maj. c. y. Clark. who is
the nominee of the Republican
party for Congress in the First
Congressional district is wealthy
farmer of Marion county, and has
made every dollar that he posses
seS by tilling the soil. He is a
man of culture and refinement,
and is thoroughly posted on the
political issues of the day. His
voice will be heard in every coun-
ty of the district during the cam
paign, and when the battle is over
the Republicans of the First dis
trict will find that they made no
mistake last Tuesday.
The Putnam county delega-
ton went to Macon Tues
day on special train. Nearly
two hundred citizens and brass
band went along to '.whoop 'em
up for Mckinley. We admire
their enthusiasm, and trust that
it will not cool down until
after the November election.
The Putnam delegation promised
a majority of 2000 for Mckinley if
he got the nomination. If Putnam
will give C. y. Clark, the nominee,
a majority of 1900 the remaining
counties of the district will feel
perfectly satisfied with Putnam s
work
-One of the Putnam county
speakers in advocating the claims
of Mr.. Mckinley for Congress in
the Congressional Convention, de-
clared that. if he was nominated
and he spoke as one with authori-
ty. that Putnam county would
come up in November with a ma
iority of 2000. After Mr. Clark
was nominated Mr.. Mckinley in a
splendid speech, moved that Mr..
Clark nomination be made unani-
nous. and pledged him the hearty
support of all his enthusiastic fol-
lowers. That was right All
honor to Mckinley. We don't
ask majority of 2000 for Clark,
but give him a majority of 1900
and Putnam can draw on us for
ANYTHING she wants. This is off
cial.
IN the Congressional Con
Tuesday the speakers from
Putnam county claimed that old
Putnam always came down with
her 1000 majority. Easy my breth
ren. Do you remember that eight
years ago the golden opportunity
to do the Republican party the
greatest good in the history of
Missouri, was presented
to YOU! We only expected a 1000
majority from Pntnam county at
hat time. But how was it? When
election day came that magnificent
1000 majority was found voting
he other ticket. and opposing the
nominee. Adair coun-
Y did the same thing. Since that
ime Adair and Putnam have been
continually asking for honorS. If
hey could get nothing else they
