After reviewing McKInley's claims to
oratory the New York Post adds this
tribute to his power: sin one respect.
we admit, McKinley's oratory is over
whelming and irresistible. No man
ever lived who was his equal in
demonstrating what nobody questions,
or in examining down the Threats of
his adyersaries the propositions with
which they themselves start. His
unique impressiveness is best seen
when he is arguing some such thesis
as that a government must have q
revenue. He rides down all opponents
like a whIrlwind. Ill betide the man
who should dare To maintain, in the
face of his noble wrath, that a govern
ment can pay its bills without money,
that revenue may ram into the treas
uIy from the clouds, that neither
internal nor external taxes are neces-
sary. All such suggestions Mckinley
dashes aside impetuously and with
lofty scorn. He pursucs the wretched
sophists who assert that a government
needs no revenue into every hole and
corner where they seek II refuge from
his lightning, and drags them out
trembling and begging for mercy"

We, therefore, the representatives OF
the United States of America, in
general congress assembled, appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of u intentions, do, in
the name and by the authority of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly

to the British crown, and that all
political connection between them and
the state of great Britain is, and ought

free and Independent states, they have
full power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce,
and do all other acts and things which
independent states may of right do.
And, for the support of this declara-
ton, with a firm reliance on the pro

If all the political signs do not FAIL
Capt. A. A. Lesueur will be renomi-
Rated by reclamation. None OF the
Missouri statesmen possess Il lrmer
hold in the respect of the people OF this
state. In the discharge of his duties
as secretary of state Capt. Lesueur has
made a record which will be worth
thousands of votes to the democratic
ticket this fall. This is a fact that
IS recognized by democrats all over
the state. Here in Lafayette no man
is more highly esteemed or affection
ately regarded. In the hearts OF this
people. with whom he has been asso-
ciated as journalist, public servant
soldier and citizen, he enjoys a conf
dence, a friendship and Il respect
seldom possessed by men in public life.
The voters of this county delight to dc
Capt. Lesueur honor, for they kno"
that in HIM they have a man worthy o.
any honor they can bestow. Nor Is
the democracy of this county unmind'
full of the confidence in Capt. Lesueul
that is being daily expressed in tho
county conventions in this state. The
compliments are as highly appreciated
among the democrats here at home a
they are IN the Office of the secretar,
of state at Jefferson City.

ORITUARY.

Died. in Lafayette county, after a
long and serious spell OF VoX popull
infantum, one Juvenile court mousse
boom.
The little infant was born about four
months ago. 1t was conceived during
a calamity howl over a $4,000 appro-
prlation by the county court. 1t was
seriously crippled a-bornin', but had
it been properly nourished 1t might
have continued to exist until Novem-
her. The little thing was fed on wind
and lived in hopes. While plenty Oh
wind was still left for it, the hopes
were blasted, and the little angel OF Il
..boom" took It's flight back to the
..devils'' in the newspaper oflceS'
uho,, II had fed on s.tokens of appre-
ciation."
The career OF this little angel court
house boom was rather remarkable
The little thing sprung at an uneN-
,,ooted omc a lecture TO the mer-
cban,s on GLOW to get trade and hoio
II ;, which lecture was the first ana
only announcement that has ever been
made that all the honest merchants
in the county live in Higginsville-
The little angel also sprung II son.
600 story, which was interesting IL
proved, while it was alive, that the
CITY of LEXINGTON owned the public
souare and all the county property
something of which this city never
dreamed.

The little thing was rather sprightiy
during an interim when it was being

were exploded and they afforded ne

hogan to dwindle, until at last it turned
its little toes to the daisies. NO mohu

s.To such unholy ends we Will not
lend ourselves. Dear as has been the
republican name TO its adherents' That
name is not so dear as the faith itself.
And we do not sacrifice one Jot or
little of the mighty principles by which
republicanism has uplifted the world
when we say, that at this parting OF
the ways we cling to the faith, let the
name 90 where it will. We hold that
this convention has seeded from the
trutb: that the triumph of such seces-
sion would be the eventual destruction
of our freedom and our civilization.
To that end the people will not know
ingly follow any political party and
we choose to. TAKE u place IN the
ranks of the great mass of citizens VINO
raol,ze hat the hour has come for
Justice. Did we deem this issue less
important to humanity we would yield,
s;nce the association of all our political
Lves have been in~tertwined with the
men and measures of this party OF past
MIGHTY achievements. But the people
cry aloud for relief; they are bending
beneath a burden growing heavier with
the passing hours; endeavor no longer
brings its Just reward; fearfulnesS
takes the place of courage, and despair
usurps the throne of hope, and unless
the laws of the country and the policies
of political parties shall be converted
into mediums of redress, The effect o
hu nan desperation may sometime b
witnesed here as in other lands and IL
other ages. Accepting the fiat OF Thu
convention as the present purpose o
the party, we Withdraw from this con
~veution to return to our constituent
the authority with which they investe'
us, believing that We have better dis
, charged their trust by this actio
: which restores to them authority IN
2 sullied than by giving cowardly an
i~nsiucere Endorsement to the creates
wrong ever wIllfully attempted With
