SELECT STRONG MEN.

When the democrats meet today in
their respective precincts to elect dele
gates to the county convention, they
should pick out their strongest men
for delegates.
The nomination of a congressman
ean much to the democracy of this
district and nation. The honor is
going to be warmly contested. The
nomination at Odessa is not going to
be made on one ballot or two. The
contest will be one that will call for
Lafayette's bravest and best men.
The Importance, therefore, of having
a strong delegation for Judge Young
at Odessa cannot be underestimated.
L~afayette's nineteen must be loyal, far
seeing, conservative democrats. They
must be men who make no mistakes.
See that the men who represent your
precinct are of the kind that win in
honorable battle.

Frank H. Cooper, of the big firm OF

New York, the biggest retail firm In
the world, has just returned from
Europe. Said Mr.. Cooper:

become more contracted than it is
today, as a single gold standard, if
adopted, would work ruin to this coun-
try and make times harder than they
are.

result from the free coinage of silver.
True, 1t will benefit the mine owners !;
it will also benefit the miners and
benefit the west. 1t will give the
farmer money; it will make better
prices for farm products; it will maze
the farmer a buy r in our markets.
Chimes can be no worse than they
are at present. Our currency is o
expansive enough for the demands of
the people. France has $40 per capita
of money in circulation, and its people
are prosperous and happy. We have
but 500 per capita. We need more
money and free silver coinage will put
an end to business stagnation.
'sOur factories are closed and our
artisans and mechanics are out of
work. More money will make higher
prices, better demand for goods and a
of prosperity.
Goods and produce are too cheap,
because people have no money TO buy
them. The depreciation in prices on
lines of goods has been more
than so per cent in the past six months.

"With free silver the price of wheat

going again. 1t is SO in all lines. The
more money the greater the demand
for goods.
ga single gold standard would bring
prices still lower and more failures and
more disasters for the people. We are
partially upon a bimetallic basis now,

ABOUT CAPITAL REMOVAL

ADOOL " Ill q NJ
The INTELLIGENCER has heretofore
paid little attention to the question o
removing from Jefferson City to Seda
liza the state capital. Not hat w
underestimate the importance of thu
question to the voters of this county
but that we did not believe the timC
had arrived when the people SHOULD
take the matter up and concIder it in
all its bearings.
The INTELLIGENCER is unalterably
opposed to any scheme that robs Peter
to pay Paul when Paul has no valid
claim for liquidation. Therefore it is
opposed TO removing from the city OF
Jefferson, the capital of Missouri to
the city of Sedalia.
We have read with interest both
sides OF the question, and we have yet
failed to read a substantial reason for
the change. Sedalia may be and is a
little larger than Jefferson City, but
not one whit more attractive. Her
people are possibly and are as good as
the people of Jefferson City, but not
one whit better.
Her railroad facilities may be a little
superior, but Jefferson City is easily
accessible from every point IN Missouri.
Sedalia may and doubtless will keep
every promise she has made, but even
if she should do this the capital grounds
and buildings would not be any better
than they are now
The question is not one of taxes, but
of principle. If Missouri should move
her capital she should pay the freight.
If there Is a reason for moving it, there
a be none for the great state begging
for tree transit and free grounds and
buildings after the transfer is made.
Sedalia has no claim on the state for
the capital, and the state has no clam
Sedalia which it ought to cash in
for $6OO,0
On the other hand the state capital
has been located at Jefferson City as a
permanent institution. Her people
have built their business and their
homes there because it was the capital
of the state. Move the capital and
You decrease the value of Jefferson
City property one half and increase the
value of the property of Sedalia one
half. Is there any reason for robbing
Jefferson City property of half Its
for the purpose of adding it to
Sedalia property We confess we can
not see the necessity of robbing one
to build up another. And we
confess that in this scheme we
see nothing more than a scheme to rob
Peter to give Paul something that he
does not deserve.

JUDGE WILLIAM YOUNG.

The next congressman from this dis
trict should he a Lafayette county demo-
crat. For nearly a score of years the
loyal democrats of Lafayette county
have voted for the candidates Kansas
City has named, and if ever, this side
of the Judgment, our political reward
is to be melted out, it should be this
year.
Jackson county owes it to the democ-
racy of this county to give us the nom
inee. Reciprocity in politics is fair,
and if Jackson acts democratic she
will ~reciprocate.
But Jackson county owes it to the
democracy of this district and nation
to nominate Lafayette county's candi-
date. 1t is highly important that the
nominee be free from the factiOnal
influence of Kansas City, that he may
command the support of all the demo-
Gratis. 1t is highly important that he
be a free silver man with a record,
that he may command the confidence
of all free silver men. 1t Is highly
important that his public and private
record be above reproach.
All these things and more can be
said of Judge William Young. The
endorsement he will receive today al
the hands of the voters of Lafayette
will bear the INTELLIGENCER out in
every assertion it has made regarding
him and his campaign.
Lafayette has no second choice. She
will instruct her delegates to vote for
Judge Young first, last and all the
lime, because she believes that Judge
nomination is the wisdom of
he situation,
