THE Republic says "Gov. Stone
threw over all the men of standing
and influence and formed alliances
with men who were in touch with and
in control of the lowest and most de.
graded elements in the slums of the
city," Too bad! Had Gov. Stone
been ready to answer to the beck and
call of D. R. Francis and other mil.
lionaires the Republic would picture
him up as the greatest governor Mis-.
souri, ever had-except, of course,
'our Dave" We admire Gov. Stone
for "sittiug down" on these so-called
linen of standing and fnflooence.
They have little sympathy with the
common people and it is their invari
able rule that if they cannot control
a man they try to ruin him. But the
people are getting their eyes open
We have q few of those linen o

The local campaign is drifting
along ordinarily smooth and the
willy candidate finds himself busy
patching up and Strengthening out
the yarns that are being circulated
against him. The voters should pay
no attention to yarns that are sprung
on the eve of an election. Just now
the ring is straining its powers Of in
vention trying to unearth something
that will turn the tide. So far they
have been guilty of a great many
dirty little tricks, but fortunately the
people are not slow to catch on, and
every scheme they have attempted
to work has reacted on them. And
now they are almost frantic.

AS no ARMENIA.

The church, the press and the pub
lie generally have had great deal
to say about the Armenian outrages,
where innocent woman and children
are being slaughtered because they
differed with the Turks in their re-
ligious belief.
The same condition of affairs is
taking root ia this great so-called
free American country of ours, sail
ing under a banner known as IA. P.
A."
These A. P. AS claim to be the
only true American patriots. They
claim that a Catholic should bear
arms and fight in defense Of his
country; that he should pay taxes;
that he should respect and be SUBJ
ject to the laws Of his country, but
that he should be disfranchised po-
litically. In other words, he shall
be allowed to contribute to the sup
port OF the government, but shall
have no voice in its management Of
affairs. In this respect he is to be
placed beneath the negro.
Does this doctrine appear to be
American? Does it appear to be in
line with the ideas our forefathers
and trainers of our constitution, who
declared that everyone shall be al
lowed to worship God according to
the dictates of his own conscience ?"
Men, as a rule, are not responsible
for their religious belief. They in
herit it as they do their politics
from their parents. Is q man to be
condemned because he worships as
he was taught to worship by his
parents? The good book tells US,
Honor Thy Father and Mother, -
and who should find fault with a man
because he follows the instructions
Of the Bible and does honor to his
parents by worshiping as they wor'
SHIPPED?

There is q great deal being said
about the candidacy Of b. Benson
Cahoou, of Fredericktown, as the
Republican candidate for governor
of Missouri. Mr.. Caboon is q good
man. He halls from a good town
in the best section of the state. So

and rs honest as the day is long.
But did il ever occur to any of. our
Republican friends that Mr.. Cahoon
has no shadow of chance for the
nomination and that he is only q

That is the way it appears to US.
Mayor Walbridge, Of st. Louis
wants the nomination for governor
and Uncle Filley don't want him to
have it. Uncle Filley wants Web
ster. Davis, the A. p. A. advocate, OF
Kansas City. Filley is politician
somewhat on the order of our local

dinary circumstances Webster Davis
could not "get q SMELL" so he has
brought out Mayor Warner, of Kan

vote Of the northwest and B. B. Ca

POLITICAL TREASON.

AS OeauCiIui ana tOucnlng D teStl-
monial as is ever witnessed to the
esteem in which men hold loyalty and
fidelity to party, was shown last
week in the Senate when Senator
Blackburn entered the chamber for
the first time this year. A huge
floral figure enclosing the significant
motto, UNITED we stand, divided we
fall" was borne into the Senate and
placed over the betrayed champion s
desk, and, upon his own entrance, he
was accorded an ovation by his fell
low Senators regardless of their poll
tical beliefs.
He had just returned from the
political strife in Kentucky where he
had fought to finish a battle in
which treachery alone defeated him,
but, in one of the most memorable of
political contests, he prevented his
opponents, even with the aid of rene.
gade Democrats, from electing Re-
publican to the U. S. Senate.
Victorious, though frustrated, tri-
umphant, though bafaed, the con-
quered, though conqueror, overcome
but not absolutely defeated.
And for shame be it said,
Blackburn had not only Republican
foes to contend with, but men who
posed as Democrats, yea, men who
had accepted almost every honor at
the disposal of Democracy, hurled
themselves into the foremost line of
attack, ard, with an energy worthy
at least of an honorable cause, bat
tied to defeat q man who is to-day
the idol Of every mind that believes
In party loyalty, and who will look
with scorn and contempt upon the in
stigators of high and low degree of
the means by which be was beaten.
The national Democracy could have
forgiven Blackburn defeat at the
hands of his Republican enemies, or
at the hands of q Democratic oppo-
nent. but to see Kentucky's Democ-
facy allied with Kentucky Republi.
canism to defeat q Democratic can.
didate to the U. S. Senate, is a crime
and the crime Of political treason at
that.
Democratic principles, around which
Democrats have never failed to rally,
and consider it an inestimable privi.
iege to do so, were thrown to the
winds, and his political blood de-
manded because he advocated a ques-
tion in which the prime dictator on
the Potomac was opposed.
Thus is seen how far the so-called
sound element OF the Democratic
party will 20 to defeat those who op-
pose them, be they of whatever poll
tical party they may. Nothing
stands in their way, and they pre-
vented Blackburn's nomination at
the cost OF sacrificing honor itself.
But they prevented his nomination,
and that, to them, is supreme salts
faction.
Enjoy it, sirs, If you can. II Vest
is to be beaten next year in Missouri
1t is to be sincerely hoped that there
will be no one in the Missouri legis-
iature, calling himself a Democrat,
tespicable enough to vote with the
Repsblicans to bring about his de-
feat. Let US stand or fall together.

VEST TALKS BACK.
President Cleveland don't like the
West nor Western ideas. Neither
has the West any particular use for
President Cleveland. At times Mr..
Cleveland tries to play religious. He
was present at missionary meeting
at New York, recently, and, in q

domestic missionary money ought to
be used in evangelizing the West. "
Mr.. Cleveland seems to forget
that he owes his election othe South

him in this fashion: II am West
