with knives occurred at Paris last
evening between Chris Johnson and
George Young. The men had been
drinking and revived a grudge of
long standing.
They retired to secluded spot in
the Courthouse yard and fought it

and only desieted when wea keued
from loss OF blood. Young crawled
and reeled TO his home and a
physician found that four-inch

his lips were cut in twain from nose

his body.

Sweeping Democratic Triumph in Mis-.

From the Gallaan Democrat.
The second day after the election
Mr.. Dockery said in an interview:
The Indications are that my plu-
rality will exceed 81 900 in the state.
Mr.. Bryan's plurality may reach
from 3S, 5000 to 10. 1000 because OF the
uaonimity with which he was sup
ported by organized labor and by
the railwa y employees of the state"
Mr.. Dockery's prediction has been
fully indicated.
The official count has been com
pleted and gives Dockerv 35O.649:

plurality is b. AT, his majority over
all being 16,4ot. Bryan received
81 ,913 votes and leads Dockerv bv
l,264 votes, the loss in the main be-
ing due to the labor vote in st.
Louis, supplemented by Slight loss
rom the railway vote throughout
the state.
In view OF the claims OF republican
gains We submit some comparisons
which conclusively refute such asser-
ions

"a Indicates for Speakers.

Interest is beginning to center III
the next Missouri legislature. The
speakersnip of the house Of represen-
tatives is becoming the absorbing
topic among politicians.
The three avowed candidates for
the place are James Fl. WhitecottOn
of Monroe, { {. DickersOn of Henry
county, and Peter II. Huck of Ste.

viess, j. II. Rlair of Dekalb, Joseph
Tapley of Pike, John r. Nicholson of
Cass, f. b. Voolfolk of Lincoln,
Matt W Hall of Saline, and Thomas
Hackney OF Jasper are also spoken
OF in connection with the place.

tigate the state institutions. The
last speaker OF the house " j.
Ward, served in similar capacity
before the last session.
In case the question of redistrict-
ing comes up at the regular session,
which seems likely at this time, senti-
ment so far seems to be in favor of
the selection of the new congressman
from the state at large.
To redistrict the state is a big task
and leaves affairs usually in an uu-
settled condition. To select con
gresham at large will afford more
than to change the dis
tricts from what they are at the pres
ent time. The senatorial districts
will hardly need additional change.
The constitution provides for thirty
four senator's and no more. In the
house it will be necessary to elect in
two years only three more represen-
t atiyes, one each from st. Louis.

727 and Stephens plurality was 49,
333, Stephens majority over all be
ing 3S. 15S. Bryan was supported
by a perfect fusion and Stephens by
q partial fusion which accounts for
their large pluralities. The average
plurality OF the lieutenant governor
and the remainder of the democratic
state ticket in 1896, where there was
no fusion, was 81, 800 and the aver
age majority over all opposition was
only { CAB.
In 1900 Bryan's plurality is 81
$40. Dockery's plurality is b, 747
and his majority over all, 16,404.
The loss is almost solely due to the
labor vote in st. Louis, the result OF
the street car strike. reinforced by
the appeals of Chiefs, Arthur Sargent
and Clark heretofore published
asking railway and labor EMPLOYEES
to support Flory because OF his I'M
ion Labor membership.
In view, therefore of this official eX-
hibit. we may be permitted to ask
republicans where are their boosted
gains? Missouri democracy has in
creased the number of counties under
democratic control; increased the
democratic congressman from - to
II; increased the majority in the
house Of representatives from y to
40: increased the majority on Joint
ballot i'll the legislature from 40 to
10 and increase both its average plu-
rality and majority in the state
That this has been accomplished in
the face of the best organized fight
made by the republican party since
the war, ana in spite of the tidal
wave against rs almost everywhere
else. is high tribute to the courage
and loyalty OF the banner democratic
state of the union.

GROOMING FOR THE START.

In commenting upon the contest
which will be waged for the Senator
ship TO succeed Mr.. Vest the Lamar
Democrat mentions five distinguished
Nissourians, viz Lon. Y. Stephens,
| David A. DeArmond, NJ f. Benton,
| Champ Clark and W. J. Stone. OF
the first two mentioned it says:
The candidacy OF Mr.. Stephens
/ may not, at present, be considered
seriously by large percentage OF
| Missouri democrats, but the govern
or has certain advantages which will
! have to be reckoned with, when the
contest begins The result OF the
recent election in the city OF St
cation of the governor. 1t was
there that he was most bitterly at
tackled by the leading republican or
gan OF the state, and it was there
that the democratic party made its
most substantial gains. The repub-
lican press sought to create the inn
preston that the governor action,
during the St Louis strike, had
killed the d emoera tic party IN st.
LJlis for all time to come. Follow
ing Immediately upon the heels OF
this gloomy prediction, came the
unparalleled democratic victory,
which resulted not only in the defeat
OF the entire republican city ticket,
but in the Obliteration of the great
republican majority which had for
years been given on state and
national candidates. The friends of
the governor Will not be slow i'll
bringing this fact to the public at
tentiOn and it is bound to rebound
in his political advantage. Besides
this, Stephens is an inveterate
worker, a fair organizer, and rumOr
says that he dOesn' t hesitate to "Oil''
his machine when it needs it. With
such advantages in his favor, it is
idle to say that Mr.. Stephens cannot
get into the senatorial race.
David DeArmOnd is one OF the
ii blest democrats in congress today.
He is Il man of blameless life, of
simple habits, OF modest retiring
manners, and of the most uncom-
promising integrity. As n master
OF calm, cold logic he stands without

rats. Present conditions Indicate

If the advance notice Of he census
of Missouri is correct, Bates county
hasn't anything to heproud of. In
stead OF reaching 10000 as we had
hoped for, her population has drop
ped back over 1000, and : now only
u fraction over 80, 900. Whether
Bates county has really lost over
1000 citizens in 10 years or it is an
incomplete and faulty census. will
probably never be known. There is
much dissatisfaction 20 the present
census all over the country. The
Kansas City Times Is having thecen-
sus OF that city taken over at its own
expense. The Nevada papers are ag-
itating the question of having the
census ofthat city verified. Itlooks
very much like that more attention
was paid to " ttin@ Up iot of crop
and other statistics, than in getting

viii always believe that Bates coun-
" has increased in population in the

Lincoln, Neb., Oct 3-Followng tho
Roosevelt demonstration Of yesterday the
Fusionists of Nebraska held a counter
rally today with Senator wellington of
Maryland, and FxGovernor Hogg. of
Texas, as speakers. The crowd in this
city was very large. Governor Hogg con-
fined his address to an answer of Gov
ernor Roosevelt. Nc accused the Vice
Presidential candidate of fiaunting the
bloody shirt of forty years ago and de-
nounced what he called the structures
passed on the National Guard as compar-
ed with the Roa;sn Riders.
Senator Wellington said ne was still
a Republican and offered with Mr.. Bryan
on the tariff and money questions, but was
supporting him hecaCoe Imperialism was
the issue of all others and on that they
were agreed. He saiG le was opposed
to the war with Spain from the start
and still believed it was an unnecessary
war. So far as Cuba was concerned it
was simply a changing of masters and
the last he said is worse than the first.
