THE NOMINEES.

The convention at Kansas City has
named the candidates for the three
state offices. As usual the democrats
have placed their best men to the
front, and the Stone majority will be
rolled up for them in November.
Judge Francis Black, the nominee
for the supreme bench, is a Kansas
City man. He has served with dis
tinguished ability for n term, and
the highest compliment that could be
paid him was that not one from the
grand galaxy of Missouri lawyers
entered the contest against him. He
was nominated by reclamation, and
will be elected by n large vote.
Prof. w. T. Darlington, the nominee
for school commissioner, halls from,
Audrain county. He received his
nomination on the first ballot. AS an
educator he ranks high up in the
category of brilliant men. AS school
commissioner honor and integrity will
characterize his administration. No
mistake was made in naming w. Il.
Darlington.

Darlington.

Gallant Joe Finks, of sx-confederate
fame, was nominated for railroad COM
missioner, and in naming him the con-
vention did itself proud. There is not
q man within the confines OF Missouri
moro universally popular than he, nor
one more deservedly so. HIS name
adds strength to the ticket. 1t will be
remembered that he was tho almost
unanimous choice of the Missouri dele
cation for collector of customs for the
western district, but the president saw
fit to appoint q purely administration
democrat, and the delegation was
turned down. In the race for CON-
missioner there were more than a dozen
candidates, and the fight for the covet-
ed place was q royal one. Finks won
on the sixth ballot. He is . Missourian
proud of his state and her people, but
prouder still of the good name and
character he bears. He halls from
Charlton county.

THE COUNTY PRIMARY.

On Saturday next, the democratic
party in Lafayette county will hold its
primary election. Our party has owe
1900 majority and, therefore, nomina-
ton means election. The men who are
named will be the next officers, and
above all it is important that good men
should be chosen. Every farmer, mer.
chant, mechanic and lawyer, in fact,
every true democratic citizen should
lay aside his work for a sufficient time
upon this day to go to the polls and
cast his vote.
In this county the democrats have 6
record to maintain, not one to make
For many years democrats have con
troled county affairs, and the record
they have made is characterized by
economy, justice and purity.
AS for the men who are candidates,
naught a be said against any of them
They are all democrats who have served
their party well. W. have no choice
among them, but want to see 5000
democrats vote next Saturday. They
are IN Lafayette county, and it is theil
duty to raise their voice.
The county platform adopted Ma.
9th is a fearless enunciation of princi
Piles, and the state platform, adoptet
at Kansas City, also expresses the sen
timent of Lafayette county in no un
certain words. Lets be true to thos'
principles and record next Saturda,
the largest democratic vote in the his
tory of old Lafayette.
This is our plain duty.

Tariff ks6fion.

To the Editor of the 1ncer.
The republican I'D populist parties
are moving hoaven and earth to
prejudice the minds Of the people
against the democratic party. They
attack it from all quarters, mainly
from false bases, and by sophistry and
all sorts of misrepresentation. All
the evils of the panic and all the
troubles now besetting the people are
charged upon the democratic party.
Among other things it is charged
that the democratic party has failed,
up to the present time, to fulfil its
promises to the people to reform the
tariff. Let those who make the charge
stop and learn the facts.
A bill of such vast importance can
not be rushed through congress in a
hurry. Especially is this so when its
friends and enemies are so equally
divided as they o are in the senate
The act known as the Mckinley bill was
introduced early in the season of 1889,
and was not pissed until the following
June. There is now every prospect
that the bill before the senate will pass
and become a law, in a shorter period
than the Mckinley act did.
1t is also stated that il q bill is passed
at all the average rate of duties will be
high, and but q little reduction from
the duties in the Mckinley bill, and
will not be such n benefit to the people
as - promised. Senator Jones is q
member of the senate tariff committee.
He is we'll posted, and knows the
position of the amended bill, recently
reported 10 the senate. Hearing the
false reports in circulation about the
rates, he furnished an official statement
Of the difference In the rates of the
Mckinley act and the amended bill
now before the senate on the wool and
iron schedule. Here they are

WHAT is THE REASONs

The Kansas City Star, which some
times claims to be q democratic paper,
contains this. squib:
ssThe seventh district populist papers
are making the point against Chester
Long that he is handsome. But beauty
and all, he knocked 1900 populist
majority sky high, two years ago, and
he can hit the little old 1900 majority
the same kind of a lick this year"
Suppose Chester Long can beat
Jerry Simpson!
Is that anything for a democrat to
crow overP
Would not a true democrat, in Kan
sas, walk forty miles to vote for Simp-
son, or any other man, to down q
republican,
Jerry beat Jim. Hallowell, the best
stump speaker in the state; he then
beat Chester Long, and II he lives he
will beat him again, and the INTELLI-
GENCER wishes Jerry success in Kansas.
Out there q democrat has no show for
office; his voice is unheeded, political
ly; he is q yellow cur at q bench show.
Success to the man or the party that
can overthrow republicanism, and teach
that party a little political decency and
honesty. 1t carries prohibition on one
shoulder. and whisky on tho other
God-and-morality in n hand, while
the other hand is held out for brides
from whisky-sellers. The supreme
bench will distort law to shield repub'
lican ~rascals, and reverse itself when il
wishes to rob a populist or a democrat.
The great howl the republicans made
about the populists running the credit
of the state is false. The republicans
nearly ruined the state; the populists
and democrats exposed the true condi.
ton of affairs.
1t is strange that a Missouri paper,
claiming to be democratic, should
place a straw in the way of populist
and fusion in Kansas.
Call it hercsy if you will; but what
wei it is, it is far better than
republicanism.
The democrats now have one senator
from Kansas. 1t was fusion that killed
that arch enemy of honor, John J.
ingalls,.

The Church Bells.

To the Editor of the I~ntrliigencer.
One beautiful Sabbath afternoon,
some months ago, we visited the state
prison at Nashville, Tenn. The scene
was enough 10 fill the heardcst heart
with sadness, and to bring tears TO the
eyes of n who seldom wept. There
was that in the prison surroundings
which was very pathetic, and it was
especially noticeable on a Sunday.
While we were yet within the walls OF
that prison, the Ginning of the evening
church bells was heard in the distance.
As the shades of night closed out The
day; as the sun, bathing the western
hills with a food of golden light, sank
into the bosom of the ocean, there
came floating through the prison halls
the melodioui sound of distant bells.
How sweet, how sad the gentle tones
to the imprisoned sinner none but he
can tell. They are voices from another
world; a world he dearly loves-the
world of his childhood. Alone he sits
in his cell in reverential silence rs the
spirit bells repeat the hallowed story 81
the long dead days that are dearer to
him than even his hearts blood. A,
the sweet tones, the mcllowness, steal.
into his heart, no matter what he maj
have been he is now gentle being

The Louisville Courier Journal in
reply to an attack made upon it by
Breckenridge that that paper had
nothing to say about Ashland district
politics has the follow reply: "The
Courier Journal is making no such at
tempt. But it has never failed to ex-
ercise its right to speak for the princi
pies of democracy, not only i'm the
Ashland district, but throughout the
state and throughout the union, and II
claims the same right to speak fol
purity and sanity in politics wherever
they are put in jeopardy, to the injury
Of democracy and the menace of that
morality which is of the very essence
of our national life. The issue which
Col. Breckenridge makes in his present
oandidacy-an issue whose triumph
would mean the degradation of a nObl,
people to the plane on which Col
Breckenridge is forced to pitch his can
vass, resulting in the lowering of tina
people rather than the elevation o
Col. Breckenridge-is broader than an.
