THE STATE

The withdrawal of the gallant Col
Hiram Bledsoe from the senatorial race
practically settles the fact that Lafay.
cite county will name the next state
senator. Johnson county has a can
dIdate in the person Of Hon. w. L.
Shipp, but that county has had the
senatorship three terms since a Lafay-
cite democrat has been honored. Ship
will have johnson county and a Lafay-
cite county man will have this county.
Cass county, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo, will give her support to the
choice of Lafayette.
johnson county will have seven votes,
Cass six and Lafayette eight in the
convention. 1t is reasonable, indeed,
to presume that the man who gets the
eight delegates from here will win in
the convention. Lafayette county will
settle the question
There are two candidates who an
nounce themselves for the place. Col.
Sam j. Huston and Maj. Chas. Vandi-
yer are the candidates for Lafayette's
instructions.
Col. Huston is a democratic worker
who has taken great interests in the
party. He has been an ardent free
silver man and has been in the front of
the battle for the principles of honest
money. His services in assisting to
organize the party in this county have
beer valuable. He is now the chair
man of the Lexington FIambeau club,
an organization OF great value. He is
a good thinker, a logical and
a man of good ability. He is well
posted in affairs political, and has many
qualifications for the Office of state
senator.
Maj. Charles Vandiver, the other
candidate, is a fine democrat and is in
thorough sympathy with the dominant
of the democracy of this
district. Against him naught can be
SAID. He is qualified for the place and
would make an excellent senator. He
Is a party worker and is always in the
harness ready to battle for sound demo-
principles.
Lafayette county has reason to be proud
Of these two men. Choose which one
she will, there will be no mistake, for
both are sound, able, patriotic men,
who would command great respect in
The state senate.
Both are Vest men, and either can
be elected. Either will wear well pub
ic honors, and each one would rather
defeated in the right than victorious
the wrong. The INTELLIGENCER
awaits the decision of its party as to
which one it shall enthusiastically and
generously support. We would count
It a privilege to support either Huston
Vandiver for any Office to which the
see fit to nominate them.

PROMISES,

The Higginsville Leader elegantly
says.
"The goat who denies that Higgins
vile will do everything she agrees to
do, will soon be eating crow"
When circulating the petition for the
branch court at Higginsville she prom
Used that she would be satisfied with il,
and that the house should be ready for
the court to ''open business free to the
taxpayers"
What did such promises amoun to,
but to gull men INTO signing her petit
tionP She now demands ALL the court
houses-and the taxpayers had a bill
to pay to furnish the branch court house
before it was ready to begin business.
So much for past promises. Those
in the futnre would be equally uncer-
tain, were it not for the fact that the
voters will never give her another
opportunity to deceive them.

ORGANIZE FOR VICTORY.

This is a good time of the year tC
begin the organization of the party TO,
victory. The INTELLIGENCER offer.
the suggestion that the democrat
organize none but democratic clubs
The organization of mugwump ''Demi
Free Silver, Rep.-Pop." clubs is no
the way to go about electing democrat
to office. The organization of ''silve
leagues in Missouri is just killing
time that should be devoted to demo
cratic work.
At their own suggestion and in thei
own way the gold men of Missouri
made a contest for party control
They were defeated as easily as could
have been hoped for, and, as far as W.
can learn, the most of the gold mel
are taking their defeat phllosophically,
and are ready to unite with the party
in electIng the nominees.
The silver question is settled in Mis-
souri,, and it is settled in a democratic
way. There is nothing more for the
silver men 10 fight for here, but victory
at the polls for the democratic ticket.
This brings us to the statement that
it is dangerous to give prominence to
any plan of organization that does not
anticipate and invite the aid and CO.
operation of all factions of the demo-
cratic party.
The INTELLIGENCER wants TO see the
democratic party successful, but it does
not expect, and it will not compromise
itself to invite that success at the hands
of the republican or any other party.
The cry, ''Helpi help!" that comes
laundering down the ages for demo-
cratic principles must be answered by
democrats, or else these principles go
down in defeat. If democrats are to
be thrown out and success is to depend
upon republican and populist votes,
success then will never crown those
principles.
The INTELLIGENCER wants to see
honest old ssSilver Dick Bland elected
president, but it never expects to see
him sent to the White House by the
republicans or populists. We do not
belong to that class of democratic
editors who believe that MIR. Bland
is greater than the party or stronger
than the party. We look upon Bland
as an able disciple of democracy and
good presidential timber, but we do
not consider him stronger in any sense
his party, though he may be the
strongest man hat his party can NOM
mate. If he is elected president 1t will
be by democratic votes; it will be by
virtue of thorough democratic organi-
cation of the democratic voters. He
who believes hat we a afford to
ostracise a part of the democratic
voters and win Is badly deceived.
Let's organize the democrats tor
victory.

CHARITY,

population, we clip the following from
the Higginsville Leader:
s.LExINGToN FOR ONCE SHELLEn
OUT.-Last Sunday night at the
Methodist church $500 were raised to
buy q big gospel tent, 82x1OO feet, fol
FsF 7 Gnlpepper."
tNt a=nnjustihable %insinua.
above statement,
D Lexington had
5eTsI 11htributed to charita-
BILE objects. Is manifest.
Is no act of charity, no offering for
the good Of poor, frail humanity on
the part of our people exempt from the
unkind criticism of the Higginsville
agitatorsP Are even the good deeds
of Lexington to be SO garbled by evil
eyed jealousy that prejudice may arise
and lead well meaning though mis-
guided men to vote for the county seat
removalp Does the Leader offer this
attack upon the name of Lexington as
another reason for the removalP
The article shows either great ignor-
ance in the writer, or worse than
ignorance great want of charity,
and a proper respect for sacred things.
The statement hat a certain fact ex-
lists, made without knowledge that such
fact does exist, is an untruth. Men
with proper regard for their reputa-
tions, however prejudiced they may be,
should refrain from assertions by insin-
uation which they do not know to be
true.
So far from this c~ommendable act of
the good people of Lexington towards
the unfolding of the kingdom of
Truth, and the assistance of a jealous
worker in the Masters vineyard being
the only charitable deed upon their
part, the whole county is full of
evidences of her philanthropy. In
instances too numerous to mention she
has responded to every call of charity.
She has contri buted largely to the
Confederate Home at Higginsville, the
last donation being made less than a
month ago, when at a school election
a box was opened and contributions
taken for the benefit of the soldiers
who wore the gray. Her people
have contributed largely to suffering
Armenia-to alleviate the miseries of
human lite in pestilent stricken lands
in our Owl country, and in the world
at large. They are 10 contributing
literally to secure a national park in
our county. From her portals have
gone forth missionaries, home and
abroad, and funds to assist in spread
ing the blessings of that Gospel which
proclaims on esrth peace and good will
toward men, and declares that nothing
impure a enter the abode of the
blessed. The spires of many schools
and churches which she has built and
helped to build, not only in Lexington,
but beyond her borders, attest her
munificence, and contradict with ten
fold more force han all the pens of
earth, the unkind %insinuation of the
HigginsvIlle Leader.
1t may be that n of the motives of
this gift to one of Gods servants was
to lift higher the moral standard, not
only throughout the world, but even in
HiggInsVIlle, where this tent will first
be stretched, that man may know
more of truth and learn to eschew the
wiles of the wicked one, who is a liar
and the father of it.
