Great Eritain Will Arbitrate the Vene-

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - Notwith-
standing the guarded language of
Lord Salisbury and other responsible
british statesmen at the opening of
parliament. there is no doubt enter
tained mere by the officials OF -. -ov
ernment and mem bers of the legisla-
tive bodies that Great Britain has
backed down-squarely backed down
and that the Venezuelan dispute will
be settled by arbitration. England, of
course, will try to conceal her back
ward track as adroitly as possible, and
try to convince the English iingoes
that the British government has not
yielded to the demands of Uncle Sam,
but the fact nevertheless remains that
Salisbury's speech in the house of
lords is of very different tenor from
his reply to Mr.. Olney. Lord Sails
bury's reply to our secretary of state
was an emphatic refusal to submit the

Democratic Candidates.

There has been marked improve
ment in the feeling of the Democ-
racy of Missouri since the meeting
of the state committee and the i'm
proved showing Of the free silver
sentiment in the party.
Since 1t has become positive that
the Missouri democracy would de
clare for free silver with good
prospect that the national assembly
would do so to, candidates for offices
have been free to offer themselves,
and have been doing so.
A partial list of the names men
toned for state offices is as follows:
For governor there are now Judge
James Gibson, of Kansas City, Judge
John A. Hockaday, CT Fulton; Col.
Lon '. Stephens, of Boonville; ex-
Attorney General B. g. Boone, of
Clinton; ex Congressman Richard z.
Bland, of Lebanon, and possibility
of State Auditor Seibert.
For lieutenant governor the list is
surprisingly long. 1t already includes
Senator Geo. L. Dunn, of Troy;
Lieut. Gov. John B. O'Meary, of st.
Louis; Representative j, F. David
son, OF Hannibal; ex-senator Nat III.
Shelton, of Schuyler, and ex Senator
David 4. Ball, of Pike.
For secretary of state there are
yet only the present Secreta ary, Capt.
A. A. Lesueur, and Editor Cornelius
Roach, of Carthage
For state auditor the candidates
are James III. Selbert, E W Kali
meyer, of Montgomery, and Col. J.
l. Pace, of Bates.
For state treasurer there are Mai
Frank ". Pitts, of Monroe County,
and Col. Ed I, Orear of Saline.
For Judge of the supreme court
there will probably be no opposition
to the nomination of Judge Theodore
Brace, of Monroe County,
For attorney general the roll now
numbers Morton Jordan, of Carol
ton; Edwin Silver. of Jefferson City,
and Prosecuting Attorney: VIM. S
Heather, of Hannibal. The pros
poets of Mr.. Heather are contingent,
however, on Mr.. Davidson's S race fo1
the Lieutenant Goverrorship.
For railroad commissioner the can.
