We denounce as especially unpatriotic
and unjust the action of the republican
party in its attempt to forever fasten upon
the American people the Ubiquitous and
ruinous gold standard, and cordially
invite the patriotic voters of his country
to cooperate with us in lifting from 'the
brow of labor this crown of thorns" and
preventing the crucifixion OF "mankind
upon Q GROSS Of gold"
We heartily endorse the wise and Judi
cious administrations of our present
democratic state and county officials.
1t is with qualification that we can SO
heartily endorse the sPotless record of
''our own" Alexander A. Lesueur, and we
point with pride to that record hat has
won for our fellow-citizen the approval
and esteem OF the citizens of Missouri,
regardless of political affiliations. Pledg-
ing for him, il r~enomiuated, u record
mhFkeu WlIQ the same CHARACTERISTIC
