= patriotism. To pe%rpetuate the memory
OF their fallen comrades and for the
purpose of assisting their unfortunate
brethren, their wives and orphans, a
truly noble and cOmmendable under
taking.
On this thirty-nfth anniversary of the
battle of Lexington, where many of
brother against brother, father against
son and neighbOr against neighbor, these
three separate and distinct organizations
are with us to greet their comrades and
former foes with the right hand of fellow
ship. To form new acquaintance and
to mingle with their children and grand
children, neighbors and friends.
In behalf of the citizens of Lexington
l welcome them to our beautiful city,
not as defending and invading armies
but as citizens of Our common country,
and to say to them that we are anxious
to surrender anything we have that is
necessary for their comfort and pleasure.
Veterans, L welcome you and trust that
your visit may be a pleasant one, that
you may have a sale return to your
homes and enjoy many more happy
reunions.
After the address of Mayor Taubman,
the band discoursed another aut iful
selection.
The chairman then introduced Col. II.
P. Hoy, of Sedalia, as an honored soldier
and a good civilian. Col. Hoy first spoke
of his pleasure in being present on this
occasion, and stated that he did not pro-
pose to speak of the incidents of the Mex
lean war, but would leave that to Col.
Doniphan, OF st. Joe, a nephew of the old
COL, who would later on address those
present. He touched upon the causes
that led Col. Doniphan to make his march
of over a thousand miles to Mexico, and
to establish a reputation for bravery that
has ever since been sustained on many a
field of battle. His address was full of in
terest, not only to the old veterans, but to
all present. All in all, it was a splendid
address, and undoubtedly appealed to the
best sentiments of the large audience.
The chairman then stated that Col. Jno.
Doniphan would make an address at 2
O'Clock p. M. He stated that on account
of the inclemency OF the weather, the ex-
ercises would be held in the court house.
The special piece of music, composed by
Hon. Jno. E. Burden, of this city, then
followed. 1t Is a beautiful selection, and
was we'll received.
The exercises were then adjourned for
dinner.

About Matters CongresslonaI.

The republican primaries, to nomi-
nate a congressman, were held in
Jackson county last Saturday. Van
Horn carried two wards, Mccoy car
ried one, and Jay H. Neff carried the
rest of them. Neff is a gold bug, and
is the editor Of the Drovers' Telegram.
He will be nominated at Odessa next
Tuesday. The Lafayette county dele
cation will vote for John Welborn.
The result of the primaries has
created CONSERVATION in the ranks of
the republicans. Van Horn Is rebel
hous. He defes the party lash. 1t is
even SAID that he will run as an indie
pendent candidate. That he does not
like the way the thing was run, the
following letter to the chairman of the
republican congressional committee
will show:
Congressional Committee Fifth District.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. IA, 1896.
DEAR SIR :-Under the call of your
committee, the candidate for congress
receiving a plurality of votes at the
republican primaries in the wards of
Kansas City and in Blue township has
the selection of delegates therefrom to
the district convention. AS some of
the wards gave me a plurality, l desire
to notify the committee that l shall not
name any delegates therefrom.
The methods obtaining al the pri-
maries were-by the institution of test
oaths and other devices unheard of in
the primary action of a free people
by which lifelong republicans, and
from YOU own membership, were re-
fused the right to a vote, has absolved
them from all responsibility to respect
the results of such action.
To name any of them as delegates,
or anyone opposed to such methods,
would be placing them under renewed
obligations and a conformation of the
wrong inflicted in the premises. This
l cannot do. So far, then, as my &C
ton goes, there will be no delegates
from wards II which l received a
plurality. Very respectfully,

meet foreign competition in our manu-
featuring industry and viii not be 70
the next so years, IL ever. A new dan
gerous competition in manufacture en-
tiers the field, threatening even Eu
rope, which is Japan with its 10-15cen
wages for labor per day, and unless W,
| protect ourselves against their com
petition, every factory Of whatevel
kind will be wiped out of existence
| within very few years.
| The proper course to pursue for oul

! if just high enough TO allow our la
borers reasonable wages; remove the
tariff question out of politics by ap-
pointing a board of commissioners OF
experts, for life time to make the study
of the tariff question speciality, upon
the same basis as our board of rail-
road commissioners.
1t is often argued by the opponents,
that our field of operation for our man
ufaCturers is too limited under pro-
tective tariff. This assertion is not
sustained by our surroundings. By
virtue of our duties and the grave re-
SBpAloiblAANS cASSulAlGu ny Jul AldNlOll "
uphold the Monroe doctrine we are by
right and justice entitled to the COM
merce of this continent and by special
reciprocity treaties with Mexico and
Central and South America we must
gradually acquire the entire commerce
of the latin race of this continent.
without slaughtering our own mechan-
les and laborers at home. Europe is
no market for our manufactures and
never will be unless we sacrifice our
happy condition at home. Even grant
ed, that we are paying more for our
home made goods, we can well afford
to pay this difference, because the
money remains among us in circula-
ton.
The money question, which now so
seriously disturbs all business rela-
tions would actually not exist, if the
Democratic party in power, in place Of
amending and revising our protective
tariff laws had not so unwisely de-
stroyed the whole structure of prosper
ity.

his letter OF acceptance-"Let US open
our mills instead of our mints," an
