llUusE uF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, u. C.. April &.
10 the Democrats of the Thirteenth
Congressional District of Missouri
have been criticised for asking that
the nomination for Congress be placed
directly In your hands. There is not,
aud cannot be any jobbcry, trickery or
fraud. when any question which be-
longs to the people Is submitted TO them
for their determination.
4 Representative in Congress is the
only Federal officer elected by dirocL
vote Of the people, and no man can
give any satisfactory reason why the
voters Of any party, aud especially
your party, which believes IN cnlarging
their power aud authority, should not
be allowed to nominate the candidate
by direct vote.
do not deny that I desired to sub.
nit my claims to you directly, for your
consideration and determination. In
80 doing, ask, do break faith with
you, or is not the act an evidence OF
my highest trust aud faith in you? /
leave you 10 answer.
1h6 assessment complained Of, as
an attempt to shut off candidates from
making the race, /, only half what il
is ia Judge Fuckers aud Congressman
Lluyd's districts. aud in these districts
tho primary IL held separate from any
other primary. In Champ Clark dis
trict no charge is made by the judges
aud clerks, and ~ he has had no oppo-
sition he paid the other expenses, which
did not exceed $500 At the last pri.
mary.
favored lower assessment than in
the districts above mentioned, 80 that
all candidates feeling that they had
sufficient support back OF them to war.
rant il might make the race. Does not
anyone know that more than this
amount is sometimes spent in trying to
secure the delegation from single
county,
Fraud can be committed by dcpriv-
ing counties Of their fair representation,
but ] again state that there can be no
fraud when every Democrat In the dis
trict has an equal voice with every other
Democrat.
have no apology to make for ia-
voring primary, which places the
nomination directly in the hands of the
people. VIII the people object TO cx.
crcising this power? certainly think
not.
The nearer you bring home TO the
people the nomination Of its party can
didaIes, the stronger YOU make the
party. leave the matter with the
people and the committee, whose action
was regular, proper and Democratic In
the highest sense. Yours very truly.

Another Citizen Who Adds His Tes-
timony to What Has Been Said.

The people of this city do not hesitate
to add their testimony to that of other
citizens who have used Morrows Kid
ne-oids for lame back and all ailments
arising from disordered kidneys. Kid
ne-oids will cure dizziness, sleeplessness.
nervousness and all kindred ailments.
Here is what Mr. w. H. Cornell, 20 Cen
trail avenue, says:
1T was afflicted for about eight
months with a dull heavy pain across
the small of my back. 1 was nervous
and restless at night and subject to
spells of dizziness I used plasters on
my back for kidney backache and used
different kinds of kidney remedies but
was not relieved until I commenced to
take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. Kid-ne-oids
relieved me completely Of backache,
nervousness and stomach trouble and In
fact with all other symptoms of kidney
disease I will continue to use them
for their tonic effect and will recommend
them to my friends and others who are
suffering from Kidney troubles.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but
yellow tablets and sell at so cents box
at all drug stores and at Ticknor & Jag
gers drug store.

Sixteen out O. one tree?' gasped the
squire.
Yes replied Reuben. The first one
/ sold you, when hooked on that again,
after unloading 1t on your log pile, to
haul 1t back home, I found 1t was so
worn on one end from dragging it over
the rough ground that I sawed off a foot
or so from the end, so that when l sold
it to you the next day it wasn't as long
as 1t was the day before. And by the time
had hauled that log back home and to
your mill again sixteen times 1t was just
about the right length to split up into
2,0G0 shingles, and it turned EN- out easy.

ing off made more than two cords O. stove

bill called for, and 1 kept the half cord
that was over; but I'll sell it tc you If
you want it
'They all tell me that the old squire
turned green while Reuben Pettibone was
going over that little deal, and that his
jaw hung down so he couldn't get it up
to say word.
Yes said Reuben, 500 Is big price
to pay for a dead horse, but it amt any
bigger price than $16S for one pine log
is, and that log your own property at
that! I'm just about $6S ahead on that
horse deal, 1 take it, squiren
'.Old Squire Pintner died that same
year, and everybody declared up and
down that it was that transaction in pine
logs, shingles and stove wood that car
rfed him off. My remarkable father, up
to his dying day, used to say that he was
afraid he might have mixed a lee-e-etle,
more perspicacity with his honesty than

with the squire, but 1t didn't seem to cast
