This IL the issue which the Democracy Of the
state IL laying before the people Of Saline and
the other counties Of Missouri. and the one
upon which the Republicans should willingly
and gladly take issue 10 this years campaign.
It would seem that Democracy were foolish
In promising no more than Missouri has en-.
dured the past four years under the Stephens
administration. Yet this should not be .

ceivabie. II Il this sense Of security from con.
demnation Of the people. which not only nour-
ishes their present assurance, but has In the
past been the backbone Of their disregard Of
right and defiance Of the will Of the people.
II the state were reasonable in it, allegiance
to this party, the glaring corruption Of Its
legislatures and the Vaccinations and narrow,
laundering policy Of its governor. would
sweep the responsible party from the Offices
they have corrupted and disgraced.
But surely Missouri Is not dyed 20 deeply In
the black Of the machine Democracy. that Q
record such as that Of Stephens. may be en-.
dorsed with i~mpunity. His defence Of immor.
aiity Ia the asylum scandal and his chickering's
with the worst elements In city politics are
condemned on every hand. His conception Of
his high Office % party boss and machine leader.

interests Of the state. dwarfed beneath bis de.
sire to upbuiid . powerful partisan machine. In
which he should figure - its head. his proven
un6,ness and incapabiiity Of rising to the re.
spousibilities Of his Office ARE acknowledged
by Q majority Of his own party.
Yet Democracy promises nothing better
than this and In its own words stands ready

legislatures Of the last four years and the gov.
ernor Of the present are the agents Of the
good results" referred to. then let the peo.
