THE STATE CONVENTION.

IllE OIL II " IA
On next Tuesday the democrats of
Missouri will hold a state convention at
Pertle Springs.
Be it remembered that this conven-
ton was called by the state central
committee by a vote of twelve to three,
and that it is called upon the same
basis and with some representation as
the former conventions of the party IN
this state.
Be it further remembered that this
convention is called at the request of
the democrats of nearly mi hundred
counties in the state.
The above statement of facts, that no
honest man a deny, brings us to the
inevitable conclusion that this conven-
ton will have the same binding force
that any other state convention a
ever had. 1t will not nominate any
officers it is true, yet, it is convened
for a higher and greater purpose, that
is, to declare the party's position upon
an issue, in the solution of which
every voter in Missouri is vitality inter-
ested.
There are some objections to this
convention. These objections were
filed and considered, but the vast
majority of the democrats demanded
the call, and bending to the will of the
people, the state central committee
called the convention.
Now our .'gold bug" friends say they
are not going to have anything to do
with it. They say they will not be
present; that they will not consider the
resolutions as binding, and that from
their point OF view, no attention will
be paid to it.
This is a sad predicament. Surely II
is to be regretted that our party in this
state is confronted with q bolt from q
| direction from which it was not g
pected. From their interviews, and
from their press, one would judge them
to be the genuine, true blue democrats,
a kind that never bolted; the s'ye)lov
dog kind, So to speak.
Those Of us who have believed II
wise to have the issue settled within
our ranks are not disguised, but we are
sadly disappointed. We had reason te
believe that our gold friends would
meet us half way and assist in settling
the differences in the ranks of oul
party in this state.
But no. The wind is too strong
toward the double end Of the string
They saw defeat staring them in thu
face and they Withdrew from the arena
They laid down with the cry, ''don'
run over q cripple, or he will high
when its over"
The best thing our gold friend
could have done, would have been t.
COule Jul kuos buoW suctA neno' '"
know its small, but its dainty, nice ant
pretty, and would not have beef
laughed at.
But they will not be with US at Pertls
Springs. The doors Of the democratic
party are open at both ends. This tim
they have walked out, but the INTELLI
GENCER trusts that ere long they viii
wake up, and finding themselves in thu
enemy's camp, will either retreat ant
back in at the rear door, OF else take
quick step and get around to the from
door, where they will find the latcl
string on the outside. and upon en-
trance into the old fold, they will b
welcomed by the united voices of mil
lions who worship at the altar of FIRE
Government.
