THE Hannibal MO Times contains
the following in reference TO the next
Democratic nomination for President
of the United States: National con-
ventions in casting about for a candi-
date endeavor to select a man whose
location geographically and whose
availability will enable him to lead his
party to victory. From the point of
view of practical politics it is not yet
time to nominate Southern man.
The Democratic party cannot afford to
take any chances in the front of a
splendidly organized and exultant en-
emy, and the logical candidate at this
time would seem to be conservative
Western man. Unless the general
opinion alters within the next twelve
months, the convention will probably
60 to Illinois or Indiana for the presi-
dental candidate. And in making that
choice it will not only follow the die
tates of sound Judgment, but il will
yield obedience TO the popular will rs
well. A Western man in 1896. A
Southern man some other time.

AN ASSASSIN IN AMBUSH.
George Stice Murdered Near Macon,
Mo-, While Sitting at His
Window.

MACON, Mo. April II. George Stice,
a farmer, living five miles southeast of
this place, was assassinated while sit
ting at his window with his little daugh-
ter last night by some one concealed
in the bushes, firing the contents of
heavily loaded shotgun at him. The
bullets struck him in the head and his
death resulted instantly. The little
girl beside him was covered with blood,
but aside from slight wounds made by
the broken glass was uninjured. An
inquest, held to-day, failed to throw
any additional light on the killing.
Stice, with his wife and two children,
arrived here from Scotland County
about three months ago. Nothing was
taken from the house and no attempt
made to harm any other member of
the family. The deceased was about
40 years old, and, as far as known, had
no enemies here, but it is conjectured
that he moved here to escape from
some one where he formerly lived,
who had grudge against him.

DR.. DEPEW'S VISION.
Butler and Hampton Entertaining the
Camp of the Republicans.

NEW YORK, April 12.-In an inter-
view upon elections in the South in
general and elections in South Carroll
na in particular, Chauncey NJ. Depew
says: "With Wade Hampton and M.
c. Butler and the aristocratic element
that they represent deposed, with the
negro disfranchised and with Tillman
securely seated in power, what meth
cd will be taken to secure justice in
the South? What more likely than
that Wade Hampton, M. G. Butler and
other leaders of this class in South Car
olina should come knocking at the
door of the next Republican National
Convention. I predict it. The only
way to secure relief is through the Re-
publican party. The solid South is
being broken up and Mr.. TilIman will
be disposed of on this line of recon-
struction."
1t will be an agreeable surprise to
persons subject to attacks of bilious
collie to learn that prompt relief may
be had by taking Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy. In
many instances the attack may be
prevented by taking this remedy as
soon as the first symptoms of the dis
ease appear. 25 and so cent bottles
