Hon. j. 8. Grosshart, ordering the IN
rELLIaENCER sent to him at Nevada,
writes: awhile our national ticket, with
Bryan at its head went down in defeat, l
am proud of Missouri and her democracy.
and especially so of old Lafayette, and l
congratulate all OF the state and county
officers on their successful election. i
think Bryan the greatest man today in
the nation, and that he will lead the
silver forces to victory in 1900"
At the recent election j.. c. Gum,
democrat, and John A. Taggart, repub-
hcan, candidates for constable of Davis
township, each received 5SS votes, and
the county court may order a special
| election to decide the matter. Taggart
is the present incumbent and will hold
the Office until his successor is duly
elected and qualified. A tie at an cleo
! ton in this county was never before
known, and is considered a very remark
able occurrence.

Very little sport is to be enjoyed in ar
exciting political campaign, but after II
Ia over some very ludicrous scenes are
enacted by those who made absurd bets oil
promises with those who were fortunate
/ enough to be on the winning side. Ii
this city there were a number of such
\ foolish agreements made prior to thu
! election. Mr.. Geo. Sedgwick agreed tt
ride six republicans down Main street IL
a wheelbarrow, should Mckinley wir
Monday he was ready with a decorated
w~heeIbarrow to carry out his contract
but only two of the six republicans wer'
on hand to enjoy the ride. Mr.. Jamei
Fanolio was SO confident of Bryan's cleo
ton that he agreed with Thos. Harvey
Jr., that the loser should pull he theI
4 through the streets in a sulky. Mr.. Har'
\ ney took his ride as agreed upon, followed
by a crowd of shouting boys, and boot
and cheers from people on the sidewalks
Harvey carried a nne labeled "16 to L.
bordered with black, to show how mourn
fuIaMr. Fanolio felt over the result of thu
/ election.
