Coy. Stephens Discusses Fusion,
SAYS 1T Is IMPRACTICABLE AND
WILL NOT PREVAIL ON THE
STATE TICKET.
Populists Won't Ask it and Democrats
Who Would Maintain Their Party
Principles and Honor Would
Not Consent to It.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. H.
Governor Lon V. Stephens is known
to have ideas of his own on all ques-
tions, and as a rule he is not afraid to
express them. Upon the question of
the Democrats fusing with the Popu-
lists on the State ticket, the Governor,
IN the following authorized interview,
makes some timely and interesting
suggestions, well worthy of the con-
sideration of every Democrat and
Populist in the State. Said he:
Gin my judgment, the talk of 'fus-
ION at this time is premature, and
prolific of confusion, complications
and embarrassment to Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans alike.
"Instead of stirring up strife and
quarreling amongst ourselves, over a
question which should not now be
made an issue, we should be cooper
ating with each other in the direction
of educating the people and organic
ing III forces for coming battles.
Let's talk organization first, and push
along the campaign of education, and
fusion will take care of itself.
ga large per cent of those who in
former years wandered away from the
Democratic party to affiliate with the
Populists, have returned to the home
of their fathers to stay, at least as
long as we continue true to the prin-
ciples ~enunciated in the Pertle

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is not called a consumption-cure;
it is a blood-maker. 1t gives energy
to the blood-making organs to Gre
ate new blood, full of healthy, red
corpuscles. This rapid supply of
pure, rich, red blood drives out all
diseases that have their roots in the
blood. Consumption is one of these;
s~crofula, malaria, eczoma, erysipelas,
catarrh-are others. 1t is absurd to
doctor them separately a lung, or
skin, or head disease. They must be
driven out of the blood. You a rely
on the "Golden Medical Discovery'to
do this every time. 1t is not a patent
medicine. 1t is the perfected result
of so years. practical experience by
one of the most skillful physicians
and eminent medical authorities in
in this country-Dr. R. V. Pierce,

THE Gold Democracy, as that move
ment was called, is, as an organiza-
ton, a thing of the past. 1t fought a
good fight, a game fight, an honest
fight, but it had nothing back of it
except good intentions and nothing in
front of it except a set of impossible
ideals. 1t showed itself, indeed, a
body of generals without an army.
But it being plain that the people want
no third party and that they will sup
port no organized movement to rescue
the people from the two extremes, we
abandon that particular form of seek
ing the attainment of the truth. The
National Democracy, so-called, is
dead. Henry Watterson in Courier

The trouble with most of the social

The trouble with most of the social
ed dyspepsia cures is that they don't
cure. They give only temporary re-
lief. Indigestion usually extends all
through the digestive tract, from the
stomach clear down to the large
intestine; the liver TOO is frequently
involved in the trouble, being torpid
and inactive. For a thorough, radi-
cal, permanent cure you must have
the whole digestive organism set right
not violently stirred up,but regulat-
ed. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will
do it. They stimulate the digestive
juices of the stomach; invigorate the
liver and help it to actively secrete the
bile; and act gently on the bowels to
promote a regular healthy movement.
This means a complete and lasting
cure of digestive troubles.

In to-day's LEDGER will be found
an interesting interview with Gcv-
ernor Lon V. Stephens in which he
expresses himself very distinctly in
favor of straight Democracy in Mis-
souri,. His interview is directly along
the lines advocated so earnestly by
the Mexico LEDGER,
Mexico weekly ledger., 1897-12-16

Hon. CHAMP CLARK, speaking of
the outlook for legislation by the
present Congress, says:
"All / hear and see indicates that
Speaker Reed knew what he was
talking about when he said, in an
interview, that this would be a do
nothing session. Of course, the
Democrats in the House are so weak
in numbers that we can accomplish
little affirmatively. We may, how
ever, accomplish a good deal by pre-
venting bad legislation, if all our men
will be In constant attendance on the
sittings of the House.
"The Republicans appear to be split
up on every question. The President
praises civil service reform as the sum
of all blessings, while his prophet,
General Grosvenor, and others attack
it savagely as a humbug and fraud of
the first water.
"They are badly divided on the cur
rency question, and it is extremely
doubtful If they can get any bill on
that subject through the House, to say
nothing of the Senate. They want to
retire the greenbacks. Their mas
tiers, the national bank ring, have or
dered them to do so. But they are
afraid. Western Republican Con-
gressmen are in about the same frame
of mind as the poor fellow to
whom the Grand Turk sends a silken
bow-string for his own destruction.
"With the Dingley bill putting the
Treasury deeper and deeper in the
hole every day, the prospect for our
friends, the enemy, ls decidedly
gloomy. The necessity for a bond is
sue, which becomes constantly more
apparent, causes the cold chills to
creep up and down the spinal columns
of every Republican Representative
who has less than 5000 majority at
his back.
"The people are for granting bellig-
erent rights to the struggling Gu
bans, but the President says to them
nay.
SIT is doubtful il the Republicans
r agreed eve on the Hawaiian
grab. If the Speaker really is op-
posed to that, as the rumor goes, we
will block that bad and ha zardous
game.
"All things appear to be working
together for good to aid ua in regain
ing possession of the Government"
