We hear it whispered around that
State Auditor J. N. Seibert is at work
secretly to prevent the confirmation of
W. Y. Leech who has been appointed
by President Cleveland as Postmaster
of this city Mr.. Seibert is a great
political wire puller and he always
takes a hand in the office filling for
Southeast Missouri, but We are of the
opinion that he is barking up the
wrong tree. In the eyes OF Grover
Cleveland Mr.. Leech is a bigger man
than Alr. Seibert. Mr.. Seibert went
off with the crazy wing of the Demo-

the principles of the old party.

The programme laid down by Ed
Caruthers of the Dunklin Democrat
for the draining OF tho swamps is
surely entitled to some notice. His
suggestions on that subject are the
best we have ever noticed. Editor
Caruthers is nobody's fool If he does
live in Dunklin county. He would
make a statesman if he would quit
harping about the yellow dog Demo
Gratis of Dunkling county and go to
work to make himself known as a
candidate. We admire Brother Ca

That Race

From the La Belle Cresset.
There is said to be a rumpus brewing In
the politics of New Mexico, in which the
race issue will cut quite a igure.-OpTIo.
II is probable that The OPTIC has
substantial reasons for making the
above statement, but it is to be hoped
that no such crisis will arise. It will
be not only o sad, but a disgraceful
day for New Mexico, il her people be.
c .ma arrayed against each other on a
race issue and we are not inclined 10
think such a thing possible, or to ad
init that the people would be 50 utterly
foolish. However, it is only stated as
a rumor, and should be regarded as
such, but it is misleading to those un-
acquainted with the harmony which
exists between our different races.
