HON A A

The reception that the candidacy oil
Can't. A. A. Lesueur for denomination
to the office of secretary OF state Is
given by the democratic press is indeed
gratifying to Capt. Lesueur's friends In
LAFAYETTE county. That this county
has given to the state n who Is
generally termed THE BEST that ever
held the position of secretary OF state'
is a source of pride to his ''friends at
home,' and a tribute TO u county
democracy. When Lafayette first
offered Lesueur as a candidate for a
position on the state ticket, she made
many promises for him, every n OF
which have been more than fulfilled.
We say it respectfully and we believe
truly that his superior never held a
position as the gift of Missouri democ-
racy.
The INTELLIGENCER this morning
offers as testimony for these assertions
the editorial expressions OF nearly an
hundred Missouri papers. Had we
space to spare we could have offered
4n |Handrsd more.
e. |.|rEa n the state carries with 1t
Mbs 81 III responsibilities of state
coFsr1mSnl. Since Capt. Lesueur was
first elected these duties have grown
two-fold. The corporation business
has grown enormously. The duties OF
the secretary of state, in connection
with elections, have been multiplied in
extent and made of vastly more lmpor-
lance. The entire register of lands
Office has been transferred into TINS
department, and the duties thereon nave
grown rather than declined. Ihe
delicate and responsible duty OF exam
lining nearly 600 banks and trust
companies in the state has been conhded
IN this department. There are over SUI
sections of the statutes which impose
varied, and many of them important,
duties upon the department OF state.
When the republicans of the 8 t
Qeneral assembly "OAO
TO find fault with democratic manage
ment, they never in that body mentioned
Lesueur's name nor his office except in
terms of praise. In 1892 Lesueur
received the largest vote cast for a
state officer, and he will repeat this
offense, if offense it be, again in 1876.
His denomination is a foregone conclu-
sion. The political conditions call for
Missouri democracy ''best and bravest."
They call for men with records wn'ch
the people can indorse and which they
will sanction with their votes.
1t would indeed be a dangerous
experiment to take up at this critical
hour any unframed men. Lesueur has
been tried. HIS qualifications fol-, the
uublic service have been weighed IN
the balance and not found wanting
His regime has passed without criticism
general assembly composed largely
of members of an antagonistie party
His has been a record to which demo
Gratis can point with pride, and II
convention assembled they will moi
only indorse it by resolution, but by
ordering q continuance of his services
as secretary of state.

A Great Bargin
For Sale on Liberal Terms
and Payments,
Or Will Trade For Good Farm
Property.

AS we have decided to build a large
mill at Coffeyville, Kansas, and will
move much of the machinery now in
our mill here to C~Offeyville, we Will
necessarily have to leave in our present
mill here many of our Machines and the
Mill Building and Elevator. We offer
them for sale or trade. This is a fine
opportunity for any n desiring to en-
bark into a nice. profitable mill at a
small cost, as we will only take Out
and move our larger machines and
machinery, and will leave the Mill
Building and Elevator standing, with
about enough Wheat Cleaning Ma
chinery, Bolls and Boiling Chests, so
that with additional machinery and
small cost a good first-class 2OO-barrel
mill and corn meal mill a be equip
ned. We have not the time to devote
to both mills, hence we offer a great
bargain to the first one who comes: We
can show any one desiring to purchase
or trade that they a make money
Possession given at once, as we vii
soon move to Coffetfville.
We would join in with the proper
persons and take stock if desired.

Pianos and Organs,

1 am pleased to that Mr.. Carl
Hoffman, of Lexington, NO., my nephew,
Chickering & Sons, of Boston, as piano
tuner and salesman, will in the future be
in my employ. 1t is an axiom in the
music trade that the employee who can
please the Messrs. ChickerIng, the leading
piano makers of the world, must be a
thoroughly good workman. My nephew,
from the hattering testimonials he has
received, must have thoroughly pleased
his late employers. In my employ he
makes one OF six of the best piano tuners
to be found in this vicinity. As a piano
salesman he should find no difficulty in
pleasing a piano customer, having the
largest stock of pianos in the west to
select from. The matchless Chickeripg in

sible for any misrepresentation he may
make concerning our pianos that he may

Bronaugh is a candidate for railroad

worthy of any honor the democracy o
Missouri can confer upon him. He IS
ever ready to work or to fight for his
convictions. During the late unpleas-
antness he cast his lot with the sunny
south, and was a brave soldier. AT the
battle of Lexington he was IN command
of a battery which was stationed for a
short time between the Commercial
hotel and the Baptist church. He IS a
man of the people, quiet, gentle, yet
determined, and has done much good
work for his party in every campaign
He would add strength to the slate
ticket.
