was in town yesterday after his trip
thru Missouri and Illinois. He said that
while the people are not doing much poe
slitical talking and street corner Discus
sions are not much heard of, yet he was
satisfied that the people were doing a
good deal Of thinking and he believed
that the result would be eminently sat
iyfactory to the republicans
The governor spoke very earnestly Of
the republican sentiment in Missouri, as
II was evidenced by the large attend
ance and manifest interest at the meet
ing at Sedalia, where he opened the
campaign. The attendance, he said,
vas very large, people coming for many
miles in every direction. Attic sedalia
is in what might be considered the .en-
emy's country, the people seem to be
greatly interested in listening to the ar
gument which he produced in support
of the republican, doctrine.
There We're many republican leaders
present at his meeting and, to Governor
Shaw's great surprise, they expressed
themselves as feeling much encouraged
over the outlook in Missouri, and some
of them We're optimistic enough to be-
lieve that there was possibility OF the
republican ticket carrying the state this
fall. The hope was expressed by some
OF them that arrangements might be
made for Governor Shaw to make other
speeches In the state, and 1t was said
that if he could make speech in each
congressional district it would be of
great benefit to the party.
1t is possible that this indication Of
political awaking in Missouri is not
wholly on the surface. National Com

stated that he believed that the state
would go republican beyond any ques-
ton. The other members of the COM
mittee We're disposed to think that Mr..
herens was over sanguine, but Cover
nor Shaw says that there is certainly
foundation for his claim, and he believes
that it would be a good scheme to insti-
tute lively republican campaign in
every congressional district in the state,

The democratic literary bureau APP
pears to be pretty thoroughly organized
as the columns of some of the demo-
cratic papers In the state bear witness.
The first production emanating from
the bureau was a lurid article on the
official republican organ of Iowa. the.
| Des Moines Globe. The stand which
this organ has taken favorable to the
establishments of a monarchy lin the
United States is being worked to the
extent of a two-column story with large
black letter scare heads" These arti-s
cles have appeared in several of the
democratic newspapers in the smaller
counties in the northern part of the
state, where is fondly hoped that the
truth of the matter will not be able to
overtake the lie until 1t has had its de-
| sired effect upon the voters. Every one
who knows the situation takes this of
| fetal republican organ as a huge joke,
land Mr. Chavannes, himself, has given
the repu blican papers signed state
ment to the effect that he was an arr

The efforts of the democratic bureau in.
La literary line have not thus far been a
very brilliant success. Chairman Huff =
| man should see to 1t that his literary
| aid takes some more important topic

\ They have nominated, as a candidate:
against him, a young lawyer of Water
loo. who has just begun practice there
and is practically unknown to very
large majority of the people Of this dis
ltrict. OF course, the fact of his youth
land obscurity is his misfortune rather

few things connected with his brief POI.

up as misfortune He comes of re-
publican parentage and four years ago.
while residing in Grundy county, he
WAS candidate before the republican
county convention for the nomination
for county attorney. He failed to se-
cure the coveted position, however, and
! a short time afterwards he announced
his conversion to Organism and began
lstumping the county for free silver.
Since his nomination the republicans
lof the Third district have revised their
figures and are now claiming $4,000 ma
