A Full Description.

The effect of red tape on the official
mind seems to be experienced by all
who are brought up under the infiu-
ence of the decentralization office"
A Partisan has picked up the follow
ing particulars of conversation which
passed in an emigration office:
The father of family presented him
self and asked for tickets.
"How many are you" asked the
agent.
"Three-I, my wife and my child"
"Good. Your age, your profession"
"Thirty years, carpenter; my wife.
"a, needlewoman."
''The boy?" asks the agent.
"Seven months"
"His professionw
The fathers eyebrows formed Gothic
arches on his forehead.
"His profession. sayY repeated the
agent angrily. 1--WE have no time to
lose"
The father reflected and at last re-
piled. Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.

Republican Victory.

The Republicans of Holt county have
reasons for congratulations over the
magnificent victory that has come tC
them in the reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley
aud the selection Of safely Republican
house Of congress.
II 10 with the keenest regret that VT
announce the defeat Of Mr.. Joseph Wise,
for the judgcship OF the upper district
He was in no sense candidate before
the county convention several gentle
men were asked to accept the nomina,
ton, but they all declined, and to force
q nomination upon him, and then defea,
him, when the district is Republic ,n,
seems TO US great injustice. We have
watched his course upon the bench, and
believe him to have acted consci,n-
tiously upon all questions com ng before
him. Hot county has no cleaner or
more upright, honorable citizen.
The Republicans. under the magriti.
cent leadership Of County Chairman Al.
kire. and his aids, together withe able
campaigning Of the local speakers. show
the handsome gain OF ls7 majority as
Compared with the vote OF 1896, and had
all the other counties made the same
ratio OF gain, Missouri would have
chosen Joseph Flory As it governor and
cast her vote in the electoral college for
William Mckinley.
The defeat Of Mr.. Kennish, while it
VS. expected, we did think that those
Democrats in Holt county, who assured
Mr.. Kennish Of their supp 'rt, woui h ave
made their ballots to reid accordingly,
but as in the past thy vote straight and
leave tie Republicans to do the scratch.
ing. and then laugh in their sleeves.
However, both Mr.. kennish and Judge
O'Fallon ran ahead of the party ticket,
and have no occasion to be ashamei of
the vote of Holt county. Mr. kennish' s
majority in this county is 65l but it
it should have been nearer the lU0O
mark. Judge O'Fallon's majority is
near the 600 line. MIR. Mckinley s
majority is 537; Mr.. Flory's 5l7; O'Fal-
Ion 563 and MIR. Gromer, for state senate,
43O.
The constitutional amendment, pro
viding for the taxation of mortgages,
has Q majority OF lSS, and will likely be
adopted in the state at large. To re-
strain stock from running at large was
also adopted by a majority of l224.
We are also proud of the vote of Lewis
toxnship, she increasing her majority %
over that Of 1896, and this is largely due
to the excellent leadership of Mr.. Joseph
Graham, president of our Republican
club, and his excellent secretary, Mr..
Molter. The latest election news from
the coufry at large will be found in our
supplement.
