Says an exchangc-Wc believe
that once in life, at least every man
should be candidate for county
office. 1t would be beneficial to
him. When he becomes candi-
date his heart is filled with the milk
of human kindness, which makes
him a friend to every man. He
becomes so deeply interested in
your welfare and the health of your
family, and the progress that your
new twin babies are making cutting
teeth, that we wish involuntarily
that every man was Il candidate
and elections were held every time
the moon fulls. If everybody
was Il candidate, what happy
world we would have. And as ii
is ''agin the law to set EN- up now
about all it costs to be candidate
is kindness, politenesS and compli-
ment>. 1t is not so alfred expcn-
siyc as ii WAS before the war. when
it cost half a dollar throat to cut
the dust, and such a widespread
epidemic of dusty throats prevailed.

For Judge of the St. Louis Court

HON. GEO. D. REYNOLDS.

AS the time for the Republican
convention for nominating State
officers draws near, it is important
to look for the selection of able
men to place on the ticket as candi-
dates for judges. The same dele
gates, who at Springfield represent
the counties comprising the St.
Louis Court of Appeals District,
will nominate a candipate for Judge
of that court. We mention Hon.
George D. Reynolds, of St. Louis.
as the Republican candidate fo,
that office. Mr.. Reynolds com

Rushing to Destruction.
FROM TIVE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

O1VoI cI"0Sh"'-
That was an effective prcsenta-
ton of the Democratic situation
which was shown the other day in
il cartoon entitled ''The Same Old
ASS copied from the New York
''Herald.' The ass was the Demo-
cratic party, which, drawing cart
driven by Tillman, out of which
was thrown Harrity and Carlisle,
was plunging after il sheaf Of oats,
named free silver, held at the end
Of Tillmans whip toward the verge
Of a prccipicc called ''Obliyion." "
The Democratic party Of to-day is
rushing to destruction in the same
blindly stupid fashion. There is a
chorus from the Morgans, Till
mans and Blackburns that there
will he ''no compromise except on
free silver" and that the gold
bugs must keep their hands off tho
Democratic party" and this cry
is rendered ominous by the fact
that the silver men are in the leat
thus far among the delegates
chosen to Chicago.
1t is natural, of course, to hope
that something may yet hap
pen to defeat the conspirators
The Clcvclands, CarlislcS and Pal
mcrs may throw themselves into tn,
breach and save the party from
destruction. But no movement OF
that sort on the part Of these leader:
or any other of the sound money
chieftaiiis is discernib'c 1T the pres
ent time. The cd ass is still rush
inc toward the precip;cc. and Lo

PRESENT indications are that the
free silver men will control the
Democratic national convention
and will write the party platform.
If this is to be the case, the leading
issue of the Democratic party will
be the free coinage of silver. The
dividing line between the silver
men and the gold men will
then be plainly marked out, and
the latter will either have to step
across and join the ranks of the
white metal men or retreat and fall
in with the Republican ranks. This
is the easiest solution of the differ
ences over which the Democratic
factions are contending and will
leave no room for recriminations
because the Republicans will have
been successful. The defeated
party will be composed entirely
of free silver Democrats.

The men who attempt to seize the
reins from the harebraincd driver,
Tillman, are dumped out of the
cart. 1t is the episode of 1860
repeated, except that the new plot
ters are a sordid, stupid and vulgar
band compared with the old con-
spirators. A comparison of the
Ianceys, Soules and Toombses
with the Altgelds, Bryans and Ti}t
mans shows the tremendous fall
which the Democratic party has
sustained in the past third of a
century.
Is the Democratic party which
rallied after the blundcr and crime
Of secession and the civil war to die
in an attempt to force the country
into reputation and dishonor! The
probabilities point that way. The
bittcrest foe which the Democracy
ever had would wish it a better fate
than this. 1t would be like saving
Il Bayard or Latour fAuvergne
from death in battle and killing
him in drunken brawl. The cx-
tremists of 1860 were madmen,
but they were men of honor, digni-
ty and bravery. it would be hard,
indeed, to find these qualities, OF
any of them, in the Democratic sill.

Immense crops Of Strawberries are re-
ported in every part Of the Hills and
they are just coming into market.
The Cheyenne river and other streams
have been higher the past two weeks
than aver known and it greatly retards
