FROM Hon. 8. B. Cooks standpoint,
his attack on Mr.. Pratt, who holds an
official position IN the Democratic
organization, is an attack on the
Democratic party. OF course, this is
ridiculous. Pratt may be a "dead-
beat" and everything that Mr.. Cook
calls him, at the same time because he
is an officer in the Democratic organ
ization criticism of HE actions is not
an attack on the Democratic party.
The showing up of Mr.. Pratt does
not injure, the party as 1t will re-
pudiate him If the charges are true.
The showing up in his true colors of
an officer in the Democratic organiza-
ton Is doing the party a service. The
sooner the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party finds out that Pratt or
any other leader is corrupt or unfit
for the position he occupies the better
1t will be for the party. The Demo-
cratic party and its principles will
live and flourish long after Pratt or
any other of the leaders of the party
are dead and gone.

I. r. Clark Ia Dead

cs - Sk44h 40 OOaus
A special to the LEDGER from Rush
Hill states that ]. B. Clark, OF that
city, died at noon Wednesday. He
was about 20 years of age. The death
was not unlocked for, as Mr.. Clark
had been i'll for a long time and was
growing weaker daily.
Mr.. Clark was an uncle of Mrs.
A. q. Turner, of this city, and was a
hard-working, energetic member of
the Baptist Church and had done
efficient work in the cause of Chris
tianity.
About 1865 Mr.. Clark came from
Illinois to Audrain county and a few
years later removed to this city,
where he resided several years, after
which he located in Rush Hill, where
he engaged in the lumber business.
Deceased was a member of the Ma
sonic fraternity.
Mr.. Clark leaves three daughters,
Mrs. E. A. Collins, of Collins Acade-
my, Laddonia; Mrs. j. e. Cowman, of
California, and Mrs. James Medley, of
Rush Hill. His estimable wife died
last winter.
Funeral services will be conducted
in Rush Hill at IL o'clock Friday
morning. To the sorrowing daugh-
ters and friends the LEDGER extends
sympathy.

A PITIABLE WHINE.

Col. Sam Cook, in his Saturdays
Inteiligencer, whining about the DEM
ocratic papers In Missouri condemn
ing his unfair, INSCRIPTIONS and ma
licious attack upon the Mexico LED
GER and It's editor, says that the editor
of the LEDGER could not be elected n
delegate to o Democratic convention
from q single one of the ninety odd
school districts in the county. The
above is entirely gratuitous.O OF course,
he couldn't be elected from but one
district, because he don't live in but
one and don't claim, like some people
do, to own the county and carry the
entire vote in his pocket. The Demo-
Gratis never have failed to vote solid
for the editor of the LEDGER when
they had q chance. The editor of the
LEDGER Is not asking for Office or
spois. We r busy trying to give
the news and publish a live, up-to-
date Democratic newspaper and feel
proud to know that the people are
appreciating our efforts. The popu-
larity Of this paper and its policy is
evidenced by an immense circulation,
which speaks for itself and lie daily
growing. Our circulation IL what
hurts the Colonel most. 1t might not
be out Of place to say that when Mr..
Cook was put on the Democratic State
Committee ct first,he was placed there
against the solid vote of Audrain
County. Every delegate from his
home county bitterly opposed his
selection. Mr.. Cooks greatest sue
cess In holding Office was In Warren
county, where he "fuaed" with the
Republicans.

Nine-tenths of the sickness of wom-
en comes from some arrangement of
organs distinctly femenine. Nine
tenths of this sickness can be cured
and avoided by the use Of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. There is moth
ing miraculous about the "Favorite
Prescription"-nothing supernatural.
1t isithe result of rationalthought and
study applied to medicine. 1t has
been prescribed by DR.. Pierce, Chief
Consulting Physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y, for over 80 years. 1t has made
thousands of women healthy and
happy, and has brought joy to thous-
ands of homes. In s'female weakness
it acts directly and strongly in heal
ing and strengthening the parts that
are most severely tried. 1t clears out
impurities and promotes regularity at
all times. To prospective mothers it
is a priceless boon as, if taken during
pregnancy, it so prepares the system
for delivery as to make labor almost
painless, besides shortening the period
Of confinement.

Gillett, an extensive cattle dealer of

Northern and Eastern markets. Mr..
Gillett adopted his present unique

relatives and friends an outing. Mr..
Gillett and his Cowboy Band paraded
the streets and discoursed music. The
cattle shipped to-day come from all

Col. JACK GROVES, of the Lexing-
ton (Mo.) htelligencer, is a loyal and
true Democrat, but does not believe
In sectionalism o r any fight between
Democrats of the east and west or
north and south, and editorially in his
paper, the Lexington Intelligencer,
says: "The InteItigencer does not
agree with the distinguished Chair
man of the State Committee that the
battle must be fought entirely in the
mississippi Valley Country" The
silver issue, or rather the principles of
the Democratic party, are not section
al but national and they must contest
for supremacy in every voting pre-
cinct over which the stars and stripes
wave. We agree that the result does
not depend or New York, but there is
more of New York than Wall Street
and an effective campaign will wrest
the State from Wall Streets clutches.
The west and south can and will give
the victory in 1900, but there ia no
reason why a contest should not be
waged In the east to make the thing
unanimous. Whenever Old Glory is
kissed by the breeze of a free country
Democratic principles should tri-
umph."

CHAIRMAN SAM COOKS ATTACK
ON DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS.

Hon. 8. B. Cook, Chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee.
is not satisfied with calling local DEM
ocrats he cannot use ''political bast-
ards" and 'sutlers," but continues to
villify all Democratic newspapers in
Missouri which do not endorse his
using his ofico as Chairman of the
State Central Committee to maliciously
attack and prosecute the Mexico LED
GER and its editor. AS Chairman of
the State Central Committee Col.
Cook made a malicious and bitter at
tack on the Mexico LEDGER in order
to cripple a rival newspaper. He
utterly failed, and in his confusion
abused Democratic newspapers pro-
miscuously, and takes the position
that every criticism of him is an at
tack on the Democratic party. He
wants to use his Office as a club to !
force people to support his newspaper
and to support him for office. When
they refuse he accuses them of desert
ing the party and calls them bad
names. Some of the oldest, most sub
stantial and loyal Democratic papers
in Missouri have been savagely at
tackled and villiied because they do
not toady to Col. Cook'spersonal likes
and dislikes. Col. Cooks idea ID to
crush out or drive outof the party any
man or newspaper which he cannot
use. He will utterly fail with other
papers as he has with the LEDGER.
The Democratic editors of Missouri
are men of brains and character and
standing. They are men who think
for themselves. They cannot be scared
or coaxed by Sam Cook or any other
man to do what they think is notright.
Col. Cook has tried writing personal
letters to some and abusing others,
but to no avail and winds up in a
frenzy of abuse. Mr.. Cook brought the
controversy upon himself. The Mex
leo LEDGER was not interfering with
his personal ambitions, but as a news
paper it was in MI. Cooks way. He
procured his resolutions and made his
personal attack from a business stand
point, hiding behind his position as
Chairman of the State Democratic
Committee. The Democratic press of
Missouri, in no uncertain language,
have condemned thee hairman's action
in this matter. And for this reason the
Democratic editors of Missouri are to
be abused and villified and read out of
the party. No matter what the mans
record or what the newspapers
record may be if 1t will support Col.
Cook for office or will support his per-
sonal attacks or business rivals, they
are all right and he proceeds to extol
them to the skies. During the last few
weeks Mr.. Cook has found little to
extol and much to condemn in the
Democratic press of Missouri. The
Democratic party and the Democratic
press will be in existence supporting
Democratic principles long after Mr..
Cook and his personal chickering's and
contemplate methods have passed
into oblivion. The sooner they pass
the better it will be for the grand old |
Democratic party, the party of the
people and not the party for bosses to
manipulate and devastate.
