SOUND N K
1t Now Looks AS Though a Thirt
Ticket Would Be Nominated.

The st. Louis Republic in an extend
ed article says that the outlook is
good orthe sound money Democrats
to put g. new National State ticket in
the field. Toere is to be a conference
at Chicago this week. The Republic
says:
Those who will attend as the repre-
sentatives of the sound money De-
mocraey of st. Louis are Colonel Jas.
o. Broadhead, ex-Minister to Switzer-
land; Fred Lehman and Rolla Wells.
Kansas City will be represented by l..
c. Krauthoff, one of the best known
attorneys of the city, and Judge J.
Med. Trimble, the president of the
Jackson County Sound Money Club.
A large number of other gentlemen,
who do not represent any particular
organizations, but who will assist in
the deliberations of the assemblage,
will attend from both cities and from
the interior of the State.
The st. Louis Republic goes OH to
say that there will, without a doubt,
be a third ticket in Missouri and leaves
the impression that there will be q
third State ticket, no matter whether
there will be a third National ticket or
not, and adds:
This statement is based upon the
large number of letters received by
the Executive Committee of the sound
money Democrats of st. Louis. Dur
ing the past week this committee has
letters from the most promi-
Democrats in all sections of the
State, encouraging a crusade in favor
Of sound money, asking for campaign
and advocating a third tick
in the State.

Watching Current Events,

MEXICO, Mo-, July 20.-Dear Mr..
White: Glad you r back. don't
get to town often, but am watching
the current of events-and you bet
there's a heap of stcurrent'' onto 'em
just now.
Whitney and his folks came to the
convention. Wanted to run 1t. Now
they are sulking back in their corners
mad. For what? Because they say
the platform is d~isrespectfnl to the
Supreme Court Talks ugly about Gro
yer, ct cetera. Now, Mr.. White, I've
just watched them, and this is all there
is to it: Those fellows were snubbed at
Chicago. Here's two vigorous jokes
from the biggest Republican paper in
the West, the Denver Republican.
sit is safe to put Colorado down for
5 5000 majority for Bryan and Sewall
in November" Number two is from
the same vigorous paper: 'If the
goldite organs and orators of the East
cannot stomach the election of Bryan
and Sewall, they are entirely welcome
to go to hell or Halifax" How's
that for Republican vigor?
Yours,

In Sympathy.

Another happy home is in sorrow in
our city to-day. Another loving hug
band sits by a desolate hearthstone
since the life and light of that home
has gone out and the spirit has winged
Its way into that unknown world whose
borders fringe the further side of
deaths dark river.
Mrs. Urban Weimer is dead. Long
and lingering had the fatal disease
preyed upon her frail form. Patiently
her Christian spirit waited till the cit
adel of it's mortal home surrendered
to the Great Conqueror. And then,
conscious of a final victory over the
grave, in resignation and peace she
passed away. Deaths sable messen-
ger brings no note of joy, or leaves no
sweet music to cheer the lonely ones
left on the shores of time. The SYM
pathy of friends and the Immortality
of hope must vainly try to face the
aching void.
The commercial men of North Mis-
souri, have known Urban Weimer for
twelve years, only to honor and re-
spect him, and we know we voice their
sentiments when we freely offer the
tenderest sympathy of all that vast
number of travelling men whose home
life (short as it Isl is the only real JOY
of their lives. 1t is hard to leave
home when the smiles of O. loving wife
and happy wishes of merry children
go with us. But how sad to leave that
home Swallowed by sorrow and made
so desolate by death. In it all, we
tenderly sympathize with our friend
and co-worker in the commercial
world. Sympathetically,

HON. u. 8. HALL
Will Give the Democratic Ticket Ear

From the Noberlv mo, Democra,

From the Moberly MOI Democrat.
Hon. U. s. Hall was in the city to-
day for a short while, but left on the
afternoon train for his home at Hub
bard. While here Mr.. Hall vas in
terviewed by a number of his friends
and to all of them stated that he would
give Bryan and Sewall an earnest sup
port, and if called upon would take
the stump in behalf of the ticket.
He, of course, thinks the financial
plank in the platform a grave mistake,
but thinks too much of the party of
which he has SO long been a member
to forsake it on a single issue. More
than that, it is still sound, he says, on
the tariff and contains the income tax
feature, a principle for which he labor
ed earnestly and successfully while in
Congress.
He also announced his intention of
attending the sound money conven-
ton soon to be held in St. Louis and
will urge all its members to stay with
the party and oppose another prssi-
Dental ticket.
