Col. j. T. LLOYD, of Shelby County,
Missouri, has been elected to Congress
to succeed r. p. Giles, deceased. The
latest returns indicate that Mr.. Lloyd
has been elected by a largely increas-
ed majority, which goes to show that
the Democratic party in that district
is lining up in good shape for 1898 and
1900. In 1898 the Democrats will,
without doubt, secure control of Con-
gress and In 1900 should elect the
President. There are Democrats
enough in this county to elect the
President if they will only get togeth-
or like the boys did in the first district
of Missouri.

The Louisiana Lottery Company with
millions 10 be devoted to corrupt her
people, was effectively sat upon BY the
voters Of Nevada 81 the polls, and there
fore, there is no reason to doubt that
when the time comes, the Stuart bill,
backed by less temptations, will be repu'
disted.-Ogdsn Standard.
The Carson Appeal says the o
reads very nicely, but il conveys . very
erroneous impression. The Louisiana Lot
terry Company was not sat upon BY the
people Of Nevada. "Its millions were
not employed in furthering the interests
Of . lottery in Nevada, but its money
was spent the other way in defeating .
lottery company that il feared might
prove . dangerous rival to its own busi-
ness Of which. at that time, it had . mo-
nopoly. Louisiana lottery money wss
very plentiful in Virginia City on cleo
ton day and home lottery money was
very scarce. The Louisiana Lottery Com
pany had its agents oil through The State
Of Nevada bowling. preaching and speak
ing against . Nevada lottery. Some OF
these men were used 40 innocent tools OF
the Louisiana concern, and some who
were sharp enough to see how the cat
was jumping were we'll paid for their
services in defeating . Nevada scheme in
the interests of . Louisiana concern. The
Appeal exposed the plots Of the Louisi-
ana crowd and also showed where il had
men in the State capitol building paid to
do its bidding.
The editor Of the Appeal has q number
Of letters in his possession written BY
various people Of this State to 9 bogus
agent Of the Louisiana Company, in which
they offered to fight the Nevada Lottery
Company for . consideration. Most OF
the prominent people who fought the
Nevada lottery scheme were men who
applied to the company for 3 "~slice" of
the stock, and failing to get it turned
the weight Of their "inaooence" against
the proposition on election day. When
known petty larceny thieves and profess
sional blackmailers oppose . scheme on
"moral grounds" q sensible man looks
beyond the so-called "moral" motive to
ascertain the real reason.
II the editor of the Ogden Standard
will spend q few hours off at Carson some
day and glance over some kilograms and
letters in the possession of the Appeal he
will no longer write such ridiculous edi-
torials as we have quoted from him on
the Nevada lottery question.

A new character surprised the House
of Representatives the other day while
thu tariff bill was under discussion. in
the person OF Mr.. Green, . Populiss from
Nebraska. . free and easy speaker. who
dealt in s~criptural quotations and at
tackled the Cleveland administration
fercely. He was accusing the Republi-
pans Of trying TO befool the farmers
through high tariff on corn. wheat and
other products which were not imported.
when several Republicans sought to over
come his argument by questions.
He was asked by MIR. Mitchell Of New
York, "whst relief do the Populists
propose TO do for the farmers!"
ITO 90 back to the money Of the con-
s~titution you took away from them" was
the answer. Mr.. Green was describing
the condition Of the farmers, with the
hands Of the spoiler in their pockets,
when another inquired Whose hands
have been in their pockets!
"The hands Of the protected monopo-
lists and trusts Of the East, shouted
Mr.. Green, whereupon Jerry Simpson
yelled, gieefully: ASK him another
one I"
"Another one was asked by Judge
Paoe Morris of Minnesota, who desired
to know what harm the Republican party
had done the farmer.
"You seek to make the things the
farmer and laborer have to buy higher
that's the object Of this BILL" said Mr..
Green. and Mr.. Simpson declared AN
other soul made happy"
The speech was sprinkled with repair
tee, and wal enthusiastically applauded
by the Democrats and Populists.
