Clark on the Stump.

New Florence, Mo-, Sept l.
Champ Clark spoke at Mincola
this afternoon and mt Montgomery
City tonight. He was greeted at
both places by large and cnthusi-
aStic audiences.
In his Mineola speech Mr.. Clark
devoted his remarks almost entire
ly to finance and trusts, declaring,
among other things, that whatever
measure of prosperity we are en-
joying is proof of the correctness
of the Democratic position of 1896
that prosperity rests on the guam
tity of basic money, whether gold
or silver.
At Montgomery City Mr.. Clark
devoted his time almost exclusive
ly to Il discussion of Imperialism
denouncing it rs unamerican
SenselesS and ruinous to our iusti-
tutions. He predicted that the
more it was discussed the more the
American people would oppose it,
and that, unless the Republicans
abandon it, Bryan's majority
would take on the proportions of II
land slide.
In speaking of the State ticket
in his Mincola speech, Mr.. Clark
said:
With the Democratic record in
Missouri, and with the splendid
ticket nominated at Kansas City
we ought to sweep the State by an
increased majority. a man who
can't defend the Democratic con
duet of affairs in Missouri is, like
Sut Lovngood's daddy, n naturl-
born darn fool. There is nothing
equal to it in the history of the
world.
YIN twcnty-scvcn years the Dem
orratS have paid off nearly that
many millions of State debt piled
up by Republicans in four years oI
miSrllc. In the second year ot
| Alexander Monroe DOckcry'S 5 Cub
rrnatorial term we will pay off
cancel, burn and destroy the las
State hond-thc last hateful cvi
dcncc of Republican maladministra
tion. We ought to celebrate tina
auspiciouS event with the mos
tremendous blowout ever seen il
this country, and Governor Dock
cry ought to declare the day ol
which the last Republican bond il
burned to be II day of thanksgiving
and jubilation.
"As everybody knows, wa
not for Dockcry for Governor, bu
he was nominated and now he i
as much my candidate as he is an.
body clsc's. only repeat nov
what have always Said-thnt Ii
will make tiptop, conservative
business Governors; and Lee, Al
len, Williams, Grow, Cook AN
Harrington will do as well MS h
will. All together, taken mp ON
side and down the other, it is
very strong ticket and will make
fine race"
, The large crowds listened TO hi
, addresses with untiring intcrcs
and left with enthusiasm for tn
