Farmers Fair Of Lafayette county will

county to patronize this fair. Every

ucts alive.
Every man who attends the fair will

tunities and possibilities afforded IN
this great county. Go to the fair next

Bishop to the Brooklyn Avenue church,
Kansas City, removes from Lexington
one of the best ministers that has ever
served the Methodist church in this
city, and sewers relations that have
been indeed pleasant to q large number
of our Christian citizens.
For two years he has preached the
gospel plainly, ably, honestly and faith
fully in this city. As a minister. though
yet comparatively a young man, he
ranks with the best In the state. A
college graduate, a deep thinker, q hard
student, a noble, honest man-such q
man we seldom meet, and one OF
such men the world so greatly
needs. His work in Lexington has
been successful. His stay here has
been agreeable to his church and to
the Christians Of this town, and It is
not without reluctance that he is bid.

made better, grander, nobler, BY his
preaching. His sermons have left
Impressions on human characters thai

Rev. C. M. Bishop Is regarded by

characters, and this town sympathizei
with us in our opinion. His high
regard of honor, bis unimpeachabls

lofty ideas of human duty, and hi

to our people, and they regret to set

CONGRESSIONAL.

AS the congressional campaign ap-
~proaches interest increases. As yet
there are no announced candidates.
The INTELLIGENCER believes that
Jackson county will concede the NOM
inee to Lafayette this time. We believe
this will be to the interest of the party
il this district, and that the long
sighted politicians of Jackson county
see it.
In the first place, the condition of
our party in Kansas City surely calls
for an outside man, who is not and
has not peer associated with any of
the factions.
Again, jackson county has named
the candidate for many years, and in
each and every case, with the exception
of last year, Lafayette has given him
about a thousand majority. Last year
there was a feeling here that Lafayette
was not being fairly dealt with in the
naming of the candidate, and Tarsney
left the county with but a plurality of
1888, a loss to the nominee of about
1000 votes. A Lafayette county man
will regain the old-time majority IN
Tins county, and in Jackson county,
outside of the city. This is an item
that Kansas City leaders cannot fail to
note.
This paper knows whereof it speaks
when it says that there Is a disposition
among the leaders in the city to give
this county the coming nominee. But
we can't wait until the convention
meets before we make our wants
known.
We must look around us and pick
our man. We must make no mistake
in choosing him. He must be q demo-
crat, a party worker. His ability must
be first-class; his integrity beyond
question. With such q man, Lafayette
can succeed in naming the next con-
gresham.
Judge William Young is being
urged to make the race. His name is
a synonym for honor and democracy,
and he has a large personal acquaint-
ance with Jackson county politicians.
His record is unimpeachable. and IL
he should consent to run he will make
a strong fight for election, will be
elected, and will make a r public
servant.
Judge Young's position on all ques-
tions at issue is in accord with the
democracy Of the district. But we are
not sure that the Judge will make the
race. Should he or should he not,
Lafayette county democrats must get
together and name a strong democrat,
and ask Jackson county in turn to help
nominate and elect him.
