THE action of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee of this district
will commend itself to every sincere
Democrat. The committee met Mon
day in st. Charles and ordered a dis
trict primary to take effect on the 18th
Of April throughout the entire district
and the candidate receiving the great
est number of votes is to be declared
the nominee for Congress. 1t is moth
ing more than a county primary ex-
tended throughout the district. This
action was brought about, or rather
fastened, by the action of the COM
mittee of this county. We presume
that the committee thought If it was a
good thing for Audrain county it was
a good thing for the entire district.
By this plan every Democrat in the
district has an opportunity to go to
the polls and express his choice for a
candidate. Nothing can be fairer and
there is nc plan that has aver been
devised that will enable the people to
so decidedly oil clearly express their
choice. The Democrats of this county
are to be congratulated upon the ac-
ton of their Congressional commit
teemen in their efforts to conform the
date and the to the action of
the Democratic committee of this
county. 1t does away with snap con-
ventions, deadlock conventions, the
wrangling and bitterness which has
characterized the conventions of this
district for the last ten years. All of
the bad blood that has been engender-
ed in this district arose from the con-
vention plan, and it is to the credit of
the committee to say that out of the
eighteen members present the old
convention plan had only three votes.
The convention manipulation and wire
puller, whose political strength con-
sists wholly OF manipulating and wire
pulling in conventions, will disapprove
the action of the committee, but this
disapproval will DO confined to a very
few. II simply means this: That the
man who is the choice Of the greatest
number Of Democrats in the district is
entitled to the nomination. The com
mittec has solved the problem and
robbed this district Of the name it has
heretofore borne throughout the State
a. the seBloody Ninth" The people
arc now allowed to speak and register
their win. The poorest, the most
humble, the most timid man has the
ans rirht and power by this plan
hat has the most powerful.

THE late candidate for Congress in
this county has arrogated unto himself
a great deal of shrewdness. He is
certainly entitled to much distinction
in that direction for his prompt action
in getting from under the avalanche
of votes, under which he would have
been buried the 18th of April. This
action does greater credit to his ability
than in forcing an early primary in
this county.

TIME FOR MISSOURI TO SPEAK.

The Governor reviewed the affairs
of the party during the last year and
said the convention at Pertle Springs
had usurped power and exceeded it's
authority by taking out of the hands
of the regularly organized Democracy
the machinery of the party, but that
since then more Democrats had pro-
tested against that action aud were
elected as delegates to the silver con
vention. He argued that now it was
necessary for sound money men of this
State to stand up and be counted, that
the country might be informed that
Missouri does not favor oil support the
fallacy of the free and unlimited coin

motives are unselfsh. None of us is

tyre of Audrain county was made

sound money Democrats.
Then a committee of two was ap-
pointed from each congressional dis
trict on organization of the votes of
the State with the understanding that
later this committee be increased to
one from each school district.

After one brief week of political
glory Col. White retires from the race
for Representative. 1t is our candid
opinion that Col. White has displayed
admirable judgment in his withdrawal.
He has experienced the thrilling SEN
sation of an amateur statesman and
by his early withdrawal has escaped
the shock of a political landslide. The
Intelligencer feels that it should ex-
press its profound sympathy for that
large number of Democrats who so
earnestly solicited Col. White to con-
sent to represent the county in the
Legislature. After having yielded to
the entreaty of several thousand
voters Col. White should have been
more considerate than to tear himself
from the arena in SO abrupt a man
ner. The county will be shocked
from center to circumference by what
may properly be termed a public
calamity.

An Address to Democrats.
THE SOUND MONEY MEN OF MIS-
SOURI, HOLD A CONFERENCE
IN ST. LOUIS.
They Plead For the Preservation OF
Party Principles and Ask Voters to
Stand by Jeffersonian Democ-
Meeting For the Good
of Party and County.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 29.-The gath
ering of sound money Missouri DEM
ocrats in st. Louis to take part in the
Planters house conference and the
packed and enthusiastic mass meeting
at the Music hall tonight were con-
elusive evidence that the opponents of
the silver men in this State mean to
stand up and be counted from now on.
There a be nc question about the
character of the gathering. There
were men of wealth, social standing
and men of success in all relations of
life who have heretofore occupied
without debate the front seats in the
councils of the State Democracy and
theyhailed from every city and town of
consequence in the State. They were
distinctly representative men. Their
coming gives emphasis to the fact that
there will be a contest at Sedalia for
control of the delegation to Chicago,
and that in any event the result will
not be all one way. District repre-
s~entation will be insisted upon, and it
will make a serious party difference if
the convention shall undertake to de-
clare that the united body had a right
to pass upon the district elections.
In the Audrain county delegation
were Hon. D. H. Mcintyre, J.J. Steele,
Geo. Robertson, M. M. Johnson, j. G..
Trimble, R. H. Edmonds, E. D. Ora
ham, ]. M. Davis, DR.. w. r. Rodes, A.
s. Houston, DIR. R. A. Ramsay, s. j.
Buckner and E. G. Kennen.
At IL O'Clock there were at least 800
country Democrats gathered in the
ladies' ordinary at the Planters hotel.
An hour was spent in registering the
names of those present and then ex-
Governor Francis called the meeting
to order. He said the present gather
ing was convincing proof that Missouri
was not unanimously in favor of free
silver at 16 to 1; that two years ago,
for the first time in twenty five years,
the Democratic flag was lodged in this
State and that it might be due to the
fact that those On the stump we're not
permitted to discuss the financial is
sues, and that until now the people
had heard one side of the question
only.
1t was now apparent, he said, that
the Pertle Springs convention did not
represent the people and the platform
of that convention was not and should
not be a test of Democracy.

For the benefit of those who think
that the meaning of the so-called
short crop of wheat in the United
States has been fully discounted by
5he advance in prices, it is in order to
explain that il is the unexpected
which generally happens. Various
estimates of the American wheat re-
serves this year place them far below
quantities held at like periods for
many years-some say $4,000, 900
bushels less than last year One of
the best indications of this is found
ia very small receipts at primary
markets, Notwithstanding compare
lively high prices. In ommenting,
on this situation, Beebohm writes,
December, 4, that ''it is therefore
quite reasonable to except that
America may, at a given time, find
itself absolutely independent and in
a position to demand, practically, its
own price for it wheat" 1t should
also be remembered that the present
season differs from previous ones in
that both India and Australia are
importers, instead of exporters, of
wheat.--,BradStreet.
