A UOINCIDENT.

It is a matter OF more than ordi
nary comment WHEN a deputy
president" who is IN control of the
federal patronage of congressional
d strict, is charged with felonv.
When it was announced that Hon.
F.V Hamilton had been indicted
for perjury before the Grand Jury
it was great shock to the COM
munity and of public concern. For
the past year there has bsen very
bitter warfare 10 the republican par
sy OF Adrian and vicinity, growing
out of the postoffice contest at that
place. Charges sustained by afida
Wits we're made agaips, Mr.. Hamilton
and it looked for q time as If his
enemies would come between him
and the President. But to q repub
lican administration the matter Of
selling the postoffices was of small
concern, even il such charges had
been sustained. 80 Hamilton came
off victorious aud had bis man Cox
duly appointed.
1t may be, and probably is, CO
incident that postmaster Cox VA.
indicted with MIR. Hamilton and tn.
great majority of witnesses who
testified differently to Hamilton Il
Co. before the Grand Jury, were
supporting the other candidate for
postmaster. However that may be,
MIR. Hamilton is N serious trouble
and a jury of his peers may not look
SO lightly upon these small eccen
tricities as republican administra-
tion But the TINES would be very
sorry indeed to see any citizen
convicted of so serious a charge
and We trust he can prove himself
innocent.

THE STATE SEnATORSHIP.

st. Clair county will Lave a candi
date before the next senatorial con-
vention in the person of DR.. John
Sewers, of Osceols. DR. Sewers
came to this county in 1881 and by
continued application to his profes
sion has gained place among the
leading physicians of southwest Mis-
souri,. During the last campaign he
was chairman of the county demo
cratic executive committee and la
bored at all times for the success of
the cause OF democracy and the re-
demption of the county from repub
lican rule, and had the satisfaction
of seeing triumphant victory for
the party. DR. Sewers has the abil
i,y, is incorrupnble and honest,
man of strict integrity, and would
make an able aud clean representa-
tive of the people.-St Clair County
Democrat.
In the old district, composed of
the counties of Case, Henry and
Bates, it was the established custom
to select the senator from counties
in rotation. This method was very
satisfactory in distributing this hon
or over the district and in keeping
down the bitter fights in the party
over the nominations. We can see
no good reason why this method
should not be adopted by democrats
of the present district. Bates coun
ty had the senator before in the per
s,n of Major j N Bradley; Judge
Ballard now represents US in that
body from Henry. Neither ST
Clair nor Cedar has ever had the
senator. BY right of rotation one
or the other county is entitled to
this honor the next time. So far as
our Investigation goes the democrat.
of this county feel that way abou
the matter. We have the congress
man and both of those counties re
sponi nobly to his aid at each elec
tion. It is generally conceded thai
the circuit judgeship will come to
Bates, should either of her distin
guished lawyers ask for it Bate
county does not need the candidat,
for senator in order to roll up larg,
-mocratic majority. 1t might prov
a great help to either st. Clair o
Cedar, and We are in favor of giving
the senatorship to one or the othe
of these counties this time
Being the largest democratic count
in the district it lays within on
power to thus show our magnanin
ity.
