THE G. go. DEPOT.

The Times IS not singular in feeling
very deep interest in the matter pending
between the City Council and the Chesa-
Ioake and Ohio railroad concerning the
depot and elevated track the latter cor
poration proposes to erect in this CITY.
Far from being singular, The Times can
say. from the information ii receives
that every citizen OF Richmond is taking
the Iiveliest and the deepest interest IN
the matter and they all feel that II is
not a case for harsh or unreasonable
demands Of the railroad company. What
the company proposes to do will be OF
immense advantage to the city outside OF
the expenditure here Of the large sum
estimated, we believe, at something ike
two millions Of dollars-which the i'm
provements will cost.
The Times does not propose TO en-
barrass the city government by either
criticisms Of what has been done or sug'
gestions OF what should be done. But
The Times is satisfied It voices the opin-
ion Of nine citizens Of Richmond out Of
every ten when It says the people are
willing to make liberal concessions TO
the railroad if il is going to erect any
such structure as the people have had
stated to them IS in contemplation. They
want no haggling over smah matters or
strained demands, They want the rail-
road treated justly and even literally,
for what is promised them will be Of
immense benefit TO them. and they fully
recognize the advantages they will re-

WHICH Is 1T?

The New York World quotes Senator
John w. Daniel in answer to tho ques-
ton. "If not Cleveland. who?" as follows;
Nothing could te more Illogical than
the nomination OF President Cleveland
for a third term There is not the least
essence OF logic I'm the proposition. His
nomination would be an Abandonment
Of every principle the party has ever
avowed. You can say that in the World
Yer me. 1 would not support any man

Some Of Senator Daniels friends say this
means that If Mr.. Cleveland IS nominated
by the Democratic Convention he VIII

Cleveland for the nomination. bat thai

For K s

At the suggestion and on the motion
of Mr.. Alonzo Barnes, the county
committee has requested that the
various township meetings ext Satur-
day instruct their delegates to the
county convention as to their choice
for Uuited States senator. This re
quest is made that the county conVen-
ton may pass on the matter and name
the county's choice. This is a wise
course to pursue. 1t brings the cleo
ton of a United States senator, so far
as this county is concerned, practically
home to the people.
1t is not in the province OF a demo-
cratic paper to name candidates or to
attempt to dictate the nominations Of
the party. But the INTELLIGENCER
believes that the voice should be a
Imous for the reelection of George
Graham Vest, and it respectfully offers
the following for consideration:
First. Vest is q democrat. HIS
labors for the party have been credita-
BILE to Missouri craftsmanship.
Second. His ability in handling
public questions and holding up the
democratic end against the Trades of
Chandler, Sherman, Ingalls, and others
is unexcelled, if equalled, in the United
States senate.
Third. He has made a manly fight,
free from cowardice or demagOgy, for
the money of the constitution, and the
principles of the democratic party.
Without fear or favor he has con-
demned the policy of issuing bonds,
redeeming. treasury notes in nothing
but gold; upheld the income tax, con-
demned the appointment of republi-
cans by a democratic president;
attempted to preserve the party organ
ization intact, and fought like a trojan
against high tariff robbery, force bills.
&C. He has stood by the people who
elected him. He has represented the
uOlliuduI 6tnliLncHt u NlisnOuii.
Fourth. He ls honest. You can
always tell where to find him. He is
the same today as yesterdays demo-
crat who would 'snot bend the preg.
nant hinges of the knee that thrift may
follow fawning."
Fifth. He is the ablest orator, the
bravest fighter and the safest leader
that Missouri can send to the senate.
Sixth. His past services and his
ability to render them even more
valuable in the future, entitle him to
reelection without democratic opposi-
ton.
For these reasons and more, the
INFELLIGENcEB believes that Lafayette
county should go on record for the re-
election of George Graham Vest for
United States senator from Missouri.

Seventh. A letter is printed, show
ing that Lexington had given up the
bridge, and had called for so per cent.
of the bridge subscription, with which
to build a court house here, which
letter was never written nor dreamed of.
This letter was written in the Leader
Office, perhaps, but it was false and
forged, nevertheless. Do honorable
men act like thisP
And so we could go on naming and
proving false, scores of statements
made by the press of Higglnsville.
Reading these and the anonymous CON-
munications in the ~HIgginsvllle papers,
we are not willing to believe that the
bone and sinew of Higginsville citizen
ship is behind this campaign, and we
warn them now that 1t is their duty to
interest themselves In this campaign
and see that their side is represented
by the facts alone.
1t matters not what kind of a CAM
paign Higginsville conducts, 1t will
never be the county seat; but if its
citizens continue to let the present set
of agItators' speak for it, and permit
the misrepresentation In its papers to
continue, 1t will be the most unpopular
town in the state. It is a blot upon the
e%scutcheon of any city to continue in
power such mouthpIeces.

THE NEW COMMITTEE.

The INTELLIGENCER congratulates
the democratic party of Lafayette
county on the election of the present
Democratic Central Committee.
The new committee is made of the
kind of democrats that win. All of
them are brave enough to be positive
and conservative enough to be safe
advisers and directors. 1t would have
done the average democrat good to see
how tremendously and wisely these
democrats went about the party bust
ness and conducted their first meeting.
1t was enough to silence the cry that
Lafayette county would go republican,
to see these wise, conservative demo-
cratic trustees get down to business.
If there eve was a doubt about the
wisdom of the change from eight to
twenty-four, that doubt vanished when
the reports were in and the names of
the new committee enrolled.
Stephen N. Wilson was again put at
the helm of the party organization.
Mr.. Wilson's record earned for him
his reelection. He is a democrat of
the best type, and we congratulate
the party on his selection.
Henry McNeill, DIR. F.. A. Lee, Ed.
Handley and John Wyatt Lewis all
served the party the last two years,
and their records entitled them to re-
election.
But as good as the old men are, tho
new ones are just as good, and it is
safe to say that when the party elected
this committee Lafayette was saved for
1896 to the democracy.

WRONG MEN AT THE HEAD.

AAOANo AAAIAN nj AALlAD
Notwithstanding the fact that the
lNTELLIGENCER is opposed to the
removal of the county seat, it congrat-
ulates itself upon the fact that it has a
host of warm friends in the corporate
limits of the city of Higginsville.
These friends are among that class of
citizens who believe in discuss ing
public questions on their merits and
within the solemn facts. To these the
INTELLIGENCER can talk plainly, and
with them can reason. The bone and
sinew of the citizenship of Higginsville
is daily being misrepresented, or else
our ideas of it, formed years ago and
cultivated by assocIation, are totally at
fault.
But it is surely the time for these to
speak, and speak plainly, or else their
silence will be construed all over this
county as admissions that they endorse
the work going on. We have believed,
and we believe now that there are two
classes of removalists there-one the
agitators, whose stock in trade is MIS-
representations; and the other the con-
sentative class, who believe in fair
play and impartial use of facts. The
former are in control of the city press,
and seem to be doing the work. That
this is true, we offer these facts to
prove it:
First. The Higginsville papers de-
clared that the county court intended
to appropriate $685. 900 to repair the
court house, and abused, villified and
libeled Judges McCausland and Chinn
for all they could think of. Did repu-
table men do thisP
Second. The papers a~pplauded the
low-down, vulgar attack made by
Stanley b. Walker, and attempted to
make that speech the voice of all the
removalists. Would reputable men do
this?
Third. The Higginsville papers at
tackled the title to the court house, and
when the records were produced show
ing county ownership, they continue to
belle this title. Do honorable men 90
Fourth. They issue editorial mis-
representations and attempt to corrupt
the county press and secure its favor
with money. Is this a representative
act of honest men?
Fifth. One organ declares that it
had called for supplements from a
seat paper, and had been
This was a lie. Do honest
endorse it?
Sixth. The actions of Judges Field
