4 CARD.
 To the Democratic voters of Jefferson
 County.
 Some time ago l stated in private to number Of inquiring friends that at the proper time I expected to announce my candidacy for re- election as State Senator from this, the Eleventh Senatorial District. At that time stated that the induce ment for such course was the desire on my part to accomplish certain reforms in our State laws which my pastexperience had led me to believe essential and necessary, among which, and the one regarded as of the most importance, was the re-introduction and passage, if pos sible, of my.Anti-Trust bill. also explained that while would be glad to return to the Senate, that never theless would not engage in 8 scramble for the position for req sons that will be atonee obvious and apparent.
 At the meeting of the County Central Committee the primaries were set for April 18th, a date much earlier than has ever been known in Jefferson County. My business en- agreements have been such as to pre- clude my announcement at an earlier date, and they are such now as to absolutely prevent 8 canvass and campaign of the county before the date set for the primary elee- ton.
 Therefore, for personal and private reasons, and after due deliberation and reflection, l have finally determined not to stand for reelection.
 The people of Jefferson County have honored me in the past, and I have earnestly and honestly en- deavored to manifest my apprecia- tion by an efficient and fearless dis charge of the duties for which was elected.
 1 beg to assure the Democrats of the county that my energy for the party to which l belong will be none abated by my return to private ranks. Whether enjoying the honors of office, or serving in the private ranks with the great masses of my countrymen, l shall endavor at all times to uphold the standard of my party; and wherever its ban ner is, and whoever it's leader, and whatever it's platform, there will I be also. In this hour of pickering and dissention, when there are so many violent conflicts of opinion as to the policy to be adopted by our beloved party, cannot refrain, in returning to the private ranks of the party, from counselling peace among Democrats and general acceptance of and acquieseence in the final decrees of our party after it shall have met in National Con vention at Chicago on July the 7th and adopted platform. The great mass of voters of this country are Democrats, and it is only when Democrats fight.among themselves that the enemies of Democracy and the party of privilege, plunder, pensions and protection gains the ascendancy.
 beg to return my sincere thanks 1 to my many friends who have voluntarily rendered their support in the event of my candidacy for reelection and @he have have placed i i me under renewed obligations that cannot soon forget.
 With the earnest hope that the result of our county primaries on April 18th will be universally and accepted, and that the Democratic party will triumph in he on coming County, State and National campaign, am

pending the report OF these commit
tees. Charles 5. Hamlin. assistant Sec
retary OF the treasury. was introduce
ed. He said In part. I'VE gather to-
gcther here to-day to preserve the
prosperity OF our people and the
financial iriegrity of our people. Our
old ship OF state has got into the
hands OF n new crew and captain

paid high eulOgy to President Cleve-

nents Of X p iblicsn Rule.
ST. Louis, Aug. 25.-The Republic, DEM
ocratic. this morning says: Fusion In
doubtful counties Is to be made the or
der Of the day by the democrats Of this
state. II Is the intention OF the state
committee to bring about a union Of
the democrats. free silver republicans
and populists In every county where the
republicans cannot otherwise be routed
There are % counties which are consld-
cred reliably republican. A little figuring
has shown that out of this number eight
counties could be certainly carried by
the fusion OF the elements opposed 10 re-
publican rule and four others could be
carried with little better organizatio
than the democrats had In 1892. II fusion
Is brought about in the % republican
counties, as II bids fair to be, the repub-
licans Will not be able to carry half Of
them and there will not be the slightest
chance of the legislature being captured
by them. The election of United States
senator to succeed George G. West
comes up this session and a harder
fight is going to be made than has char
acterized any democratic campaign In
Missouri In recent years. Fusion means
that under no circumstances can the re-
publicans elect majority of the men,
bers Of the legislature. and II means the
reelection Of Senator Vest and the blast
ing Of the hopes of Chauncey !. Fiiiey.
the republican leader. who Is understood
to aspire to the place.
