The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1896-04-25

The state committee will meet in
Kansas City next Wednesday to over
haul the Jackson county democratic
organization. If there is anything this
side of congress that needs a thorough
overhauling, it Is the Jackson county
democratic party. Up in kansa City,
politics has gone wild. 1t is impossible
to hold an amicable, harmonious con-
yention. If a convention of any party
is held in Kansas City without some
body getting killed, it is ont of the
usual run of things. There are two
factions there now in the democratic
party and both of them have county
committees. Both factions are in tn g
wrong. Both of them ought to be sent
to the rear while the honest democratic
voters of Kansas City organize. The
money question has nothing to do with
it. 1t looks more like it was controlled
by a 'sboodle" question. We hope that
when the state committee meets next
week, it will go to the bottom of the
whole matter and accomplish something
that will do the party some good.

BRING TT TO A VOTE.

The INTELLIGENCER does not believe
that this court house agitation ought to
be continued. For several years Hig-
ginsville has been talking about NOV
ing the county seat. She has kept the
agitation up at great expense to the
material interests of Lafayette county.
The INTELLIGENCER believes that the
voters of this county should demand a
decision of the matter. This eternal
harping and agitation must be stopped
somewhere, and the ballot box is in
our opinion s'that somewhere" The
third day of next November ought to
be a day of ''final settlement" of the
internal troubles of this county. 1t
ought to be a day that would forever
put a ''quietus'' on agitators in every
section of the county
For five years the city of Lexington
has had the luminosity of, and she has
been misrepresented by certain agitators
in Higginsville, whose policy has been
one of rule or ruin. This city is tired
of it aud we believe the voters in this
county are tired of it. H~igginsville or
certain of her citizens have kept up the
agitation, and there is no use to deny
that it has had an injurious effect on
the county and is now seriously affect
ing our county election.
Higginsville now claims that she has
a petition signed by a sufficient number
of Lafayette county voters to entitle
her to a vote on removal. If she has
on~e-fourth of the qualified taxpayers
of the county on this petition the
county court under the law must and
will submit the question to a vote. Let
her present it or ever after hold her
peace.
Higginsville has no right to continue
a wal on any section or any town.
Her plan has been to play the '.baby
act" and this trick has grown old.
She is in a position now where she is
honor bound to take whatever med
icine hat is called for in the prescrip-
ton that will be issued to her on
November Sd. She has a right to ask
for the county seat. If she can get it
legitimately, all right. But she has no
right to continue an internal fight
that will cripple the interests of every
taxpayer in the county and introduce
confusion in our elections.
If the men who are at the head of
this removal movement are made of
half the stuff of which God created
man they will let the people end this
eternal agitation at the next election.
Lexington IS ready for a vote whenever
HigginsVille wants it, but Lexington
does not a to be particeps criminis
in gripping the interests of the tax
payers and raising animosties and
antagonisms IN our elections. Give us
the vote gentlemen of Higginsville.
Let noses be counted In this thing,
and after they are counted let the fight
stop.

Nothing Like 1t.

The political campaign in Missouri
has really been in progress since the
polls closed in November, 1894, as it
was evident from that date that the
most holly contested struggle since
1870 would be waged, and advantages
have been sought ever since. The
battle will even be more holly pressed
than it was in 1870 for the reason that
there are many elements now to con-
tend with or conciliate that did not
then exist. The populists, the union
labor element, the prohibitionists and
the A. p. A. organization will all have
something to say, and besides the
money question will probably interfere
to a considerable extent. But aside
from all such consideration, there are
more men running for Office in Missouri
this year than was ever the case before.
This is true not only in regard to state
offices, but county offices included. 1t
IS doubtful if the best informed repub-
lican in the state can name a correct
list of the G~ubernatorial candidates in
his party, says the Jefferson City Trib-
M
There has been a strong immigration
illO hllSoOuiI olllSC u idob sChOlhl
election, and it is not known definitely
how these new citizens will vote. Most
of them left Kansas and Nebraska
through dissatisfaction, and for this
reason some believe o majority Of them
are populists. But all such conditions
as have been named suggest the con-
slant exercise of good care on the part
Of the democrats. The party is now
over the corduroy part of its journey,
AS the financial issue has been settled
as far as the Missouri democrats a
settle 1t. Other precautionary measures
are the selection of strong candidates
and such an organization as will invade
republican ground, or alleged repub-
lican territory, and make recruits and
keep them.
While the main battle will not be
waged until after the state tickets are
nominated and the local campaigns
opened, yet the selection of candidates
Is a most important matter, and when
every democrat knows there will be a
fierce struggle in this state, particularly
for the control of the Legislature, the
very strongest men only should be
nominated. 1t need not surprise any
democrat to learn later on that an
order has been issued by Mr.. FIlley to
trade everything in close counties for
members of the Legislature. Mr.. FIlley
wants to go to the United States SCH
ate, and he is not noted for being any
90 scrupulous in the methods he
to when he is looking for a
prize. !

RICHARD PARKS BLAND.

The democrats of Missouri acted
wisely md well when they presented
to the nation the name of Richard z.
Bland for the high Office OF chief exec
utive.
This Endorsement of Mr.. Bland has
been the recipient of friendly and
favorable consideration from democrats
all over the country. 1t took a mar
out of a congressional race and made
him the foremost candidate of the
democratic party for president.
Is he worthy of this honor? Let the
mans own character and official record
speak.
His record first. During all his long
years of public service, no critic so far
as we nave read, has ever maligned his
motives or ventured suspicion upon his
integrity. He has been the same 20
s%istant, patriotic democrat during all OF
his public life. However much men
differ from him, they a but accord 10
him honesty and sincerity of purpose,
and they must grant that, in whatever
he has undertaken, his chief and sole
desire was the public weal-the great
est good to the greatest number.
The democratic party has more
brilliant orators and far superior poll
t~icians, but not a man who is more
sincere in purpose, or who knows
better and practices closer the princi-
Piles of true democracy.
Bland is not a pyrotechnic blowhard
nor a scheming, crafty politician. His
past life demonstrates that he cares
more tor principle than for applause
and more for his country than he does
his own personal promotion. He is a
plain, candid, honest, practical, patri-
otto, able American citiZen-a man OF
the people. Place him in the presi-
Dental chair, give to him the support
and sympathy of senate and house, and
we will have an era of government by
the people in fact, as we'll as in name.
Plutocrats, autocrats, or any other
specimens of citizenship could not
swerve him from the path of duty. He
would keep in memory the life of JEFF
terson, the principles jefferson gave to
the world, and "hew to the line, per-
hitting the chips to fall where they
may"
Bland is of that type of American
citizen who would s'rather be right
than president; ;" who believes ga
public Office is a public trust"

piano makers of the world, must be a
thoroughly good workman. My nephew,
from the hattering testimonials he has
received, must ave thoroughly pleased
his late employers. In my employ he
makes one of six of the best piano tuners
to be found in this vicinity. AS a piano

AROuT CENTRES.

County seats are established and
court houses are erected, not for the
benefit of territory, but for the benefit
of the people of a county. Hence the
centre of population is a more impor-
tant consideration in the location of the
county seat than the territorial centre.
The ''territorial centre" of the county
is at or near MAYHEM. The '.centre
of population" in Lafayette county Is
about five miles northwest of MAYHEM,
about five miles south of Lexington and
eight miles northwest of Higginsville.
So, Lexington is about three miles
nearer the centre of population of the
county than Higginsville. How now
