The Republican party Of Missouri
ismorethoroughly united this year than
it has been for some time. All differ
ences have been adjusted, the members
of the party are standing together,
shoulder to shoulder and presenting Il
solid front to the enemy. When this
condition il cOntrasted with that of
the Democrats who are divided into
factions and who have TO contend
with dissenSions and dissatisfaction in
all parts of the state, the result may
be very easily anticipated.

Anent the visit of Mr.. koepplcr to
the city for the purpose'of interesting
our citizens in the matter of starting
Il factory for the manufacture Of a
patented article of his invention. it
may not be ont of place to remark
that factories are what Cape Girar-
deau needs. With its resources to
draw on. its excellent facilities for
shipping, it should have more fac
tories. Manufactures employ labor,
labor has to be paid. the money paid
in w3ges each week or each month as
the case may be finds it, way into the
tills of the business men and gets into
circulation through the various chan
nel> of trade. More factories bring a
larger population and as the popula-
ton increases the wants of the people
increase in the same proportion.
Business livens up. there is more
trade, more money and everybody re-
ceiyes some of the benefit. The bust
men of the city should lose no
opportunity to increase the number
of their manufacturing industries.

A Popular Nomination.

The Republican Judicial convention
for the T~wenty-third judicial circuit
met in this city yesterday for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for
circuit Judge. The counties composing
this districtar Cape Girardeau, Scott,
New Madrid, Mississippi and Penis
cot. OF these five counties four are
conceded to be Democratic, while one,
Cape Girardeau, is Republican. Or
dinarily the nomination of a Repub-
lican candidate for circuit judge OF
this district would be a useless and
unmeaning formality, but owing to
the unpOpularity of Judge Riley, the
present incumbent, and candidate for
reelection on the Democratic ticket,
the Republicans are confident they can
win out with the right sort of a can
didate. This feature of this situation
was thoroughly discussed at the con-
vention yesterday and it was decided
to select a candidate who is not only
recognized on account OF his legal ac-
quirements. but who possesses the
confidence and esteem of all who
know him. Having reached this de-
cision the unanimous choice OF the
convention was Benz. f. Davis of this
city and he was chosen as the party's
candidate. All classes of citizens in
the counties composing this circuit,
regardless of theirpOlitlcal affiliations
must concede that the choice was a
wise one.
The nominee, BENZ. +. Davis, is
we'll and favorably known throughout
the circuit. He was graduated at
Amherst College. Mass. in 1873. He
was admitted to the bar of the Su-
premc court OF the state of Delaware
in May. 1882, and coming west was
admitted to the bar of Missouri in
September of the same year. Mr..
Davis is a gentleman whose ability as
a lawyer is universally recognized by
the bar, not alone of this circuit, but
that of the entire state. He possesses
a fine legal mind, can dive down
through the intricacies of a legal
question and reach its solution readily.
He is a close student, is we'll versed
in the law, and be has in full measure
those qualities which are such imp0r-
tant ingredients in the mahe-up Of a
man holding a judicial position. In
addition to the brilliant legal qualif 9
cations of Mr.. Davis he i Il gentle-
man of known honor and integrity,
who would allow no influence to
swerve hima single hairs-breadth from
the plain line of duty. If elected his
aim would he to render justice and
execute the laws fairly, impartially
and with the sole design of u~pholding
the majesty of the law. Personally
Mr.. Davis is one of the most cour-
teous of gentleman, urbane, polite,
approachable at all times and under
all circumstances.
His party feels confident that he can
be elected. and there is no doubt that
in addition to his polling the solid
vote of his party he will secure the
support of many citizens of other par
ties who are opposed to Judge Riley's
reelection on various grounds.
Mr.. Davis will prove a credit to the
bench if elected. and those who sup
port him with their votes and their in
~fluence will have no cause to regret
having done 20.

How Unpleasant

The yellow fever situation in the
south is not growing any more en-
cOuraging. The health officer at
Jackson, Miss, has advised all who
can do so to get away to some north
ern point, as he thinks it will be sew
eral weeks before the danger is over
at home. Many citizens are acting
upon the advice given and Jackson
and other fever stricken towns in the
state are almost depopulated.

1t is enough to make n smile all
over his face to even think of a mar
like ex-Gov. Altgeld coming into this
state to instruct Missouri citizens how
ther should vote. But Altgeld will
hardly do any harm, as people have
learned to know him by this time and
they regard him "a a huge Joke. The
ex-chiaf executive of Illinois does not
even take himself seriously and he
ran hardly expect others to do so.

As usual in a campaign year the
Democrats are enthusiastic over the
