the state, and reserve that and some
other interesting topics for future
papers. But Lige must have a job
He aposlated and deceived his county
republicans and earned Il IInnnaized
job. If Hanna says it's 90, # will
go, despite morality, party or deccncy.
The pledge and instruction breakers of
state, district and voluntary pledges
must be rewarded. 1t is the llama
lied idea OF politics in Missouri, but it
is considered crime 40 plant 1t in
Ohio just now, when some other fellows
OK is likely 10 be gored, like Hanna.
What howl goes mp for party consis-
tency and morality! The Quaker blood
and ancestral and Doodle feeling is up.
sin Ohio, state convention and dis
trict pledges must be observed. Ii is
not so in Missouri, but must be so in
Ohio. In Missouri the convention and
district instructed delegates can break
them, while in Ohio they can't, ehp Is
this the doctrine? Is this Hannaism?
Hanna knows that Kerens could not be
elected delegate to anything by the
republican party, and that such apos-
tates as Rozier and Ramsey, in 1892,
against the will of their constituents,
enabeled this disorganizing aud lrregu-
lar selection-not election-because he
had to vote for himself to do it then,
and was defeated as candidate in the
state convention of 1896 as "a delegate
at-large' for there was then in the chair
a chairman who had not been arranged
with to carry out the program, as was
the case in 1892, and also in the 1884
Odious Guitar presiding convention.
AN APosTATE GETS his REWARD.
1.-The apostate RozIer's reward Is 10
be the district atIorneyship, and Ram
sey is booked for the Springfield land
Office. Tne Hannaltes are doing a
land Office business in Missouri, but it
IS dangerous. Ii is wonder that The
whole pack of federal appoinlees and
press have not spoke out in meeting in
behalf OF the leprous gang who are
trying TO dominate Missouri politics on
the Hanna plan and promises and
purposes They will have 10 meet the
fact, however, that | have never bolted
or sacrificed republican ticket; did
not seek 4 pledge from any delegate,
either at-large or district, TO the
national convention, or -lhc vote from
either, or from any member of ihe
legislature last winter for myself, and
would not. My political aspiration
has been for my party and its prlnci-
pies, and the sneak who questions 1t
can be driven to his hole when proof is
required of him to sustain any char ge
to the contrary. The play is often
made upon my name, bu; they can't
make any play upon a blooded unbro-
ken republican FilI(e)y record. 1t is
good TO have political record unim-
peachable and unimpeached.
$50 let the leprous gang come on.
But let the simple and mercenary-
hearted refrain from attacking either
my motives or Judgment in so far as
relates 10 the integrity and necessities
of the republican party. 1t will not
come from those with a single disinter-
ested eye and heart for tho party, but
from some selfish personal motive and
idea of holding 1t VIII not come
from single man who has made and
win make sacrifices for his party, but
only from those who would sacrifice
party for themselves. Stand up for
Missouri-we've got 'em! Never in
my political life have ! bad so many
and prompt congratulations and COM
mendations from the old stand-bys of
the party | am satisfied. There is
no one in the Kerens- Hanna outfit
competent, with clean hands and an
unbroken, nOn-bolting political record,
to throw stones at me. Neither keIens
nor his disorganizing allies, including
Hanna and his Missouri aDies, can
prove that / (who am only objecling to
his methods and objected to them
before Mckinley was nominated, seek
ing only the protection of The republi-
can party from his leprosy), am hurt
ing instead of benefiiing the party by
calling It's attention To these baneiul
and corrupt and disorganizing practices
in ample time to shuttle them, when to
keep still or delay would be political
crime. Ii is the lepers that originated,
practice and support these infamous
deals, who need the scOurge, and will
get it, from The party.
II have no sore head and am nurs-
ing no grievance, for | relieved myself
from all such mercenary and selfish
purposes when | informed Mckinley
that he world have no place within
his gift that | wanted. There is moth
ing national or local that seek now,
so any slurs, from whatever origin,
that | am sorohead don't stick. l
am only practicing what for over thirty
years Two preached. SO no NANCY
Mark Hannas can point their CORY
fingers at me-
