The motion OF the complaimaut> was
TO restrain Postmaster McAmulty

A Good Beginning.

The Republic editoriallv says Mis-
souri, democrats, in convention as
sernbied at Kansas City. have nance
a faithful democrat to head the state
ticket, have also completed the ticket
with nominations made in the same
spirit OF recognition Of loyal demOc-
racy, and have adopted a platform
So finely democratic that it must APP
pear to the people with irresistible
magnetism.
1t now devOlves upon the demo
cratic rank and file in Missouri to
elect the entire ticket by an old-fash-
| Toned Missouri democratic majority
that shall in this presidential year
elOquently testify to the validity OF
Missouri claim as the foremost dem
Ocratic state in the union Mr. Dock
cry ; victory in November should be
so overwhelming as to dispel for
years to come the hopes of the re
publican organization in Missouri
that it shall be possible to wheel the
pivotal common wealth of the middle
west into line for the party OF empire
and the trusts.
From the earliest assembling OF the
democratic hosts i'll Kansas CITY the
nominating convention of the Mis-
souri, democracy presented an inspir-
lug spectacle of party harmony and
solldIty OF sentiment upon the vital
issues of the day. There were many
spirited contests for party honors.
as is always the case with vigorous
and aggressive party, but the CON
tests We're manly and above board. |
and no bitterness follows their set |
tlement. The will of the people pre-
vailed in the choice of candidates. |
and the people will now proceed to |
elect the candidates thus fitly chosen.
Not IN the long and glorious history |
of democracy in Missouri has the |
party presented IA more formidable |
front or more Justly commended it
self to popular support.
The people of Kansas City are to
be heartily congratulated upon tie
completeness and satisfactory nature
OF the convention accommodations.
The second city OF Missouri splendid

proof of its ability to sat

Havana. June 13.-For the first
time since the occupation of Cuba by
the American government General
Maxine Gomez has departed from his
rule OF refusing to discuss Cuban al
fairs for publication. To a Post
Dispatch correspondent to-day he
gives the following interview:
''Impatient Cubans and intolerant
Americans pretend to believe that
the Cubans have not the proper apti-
tude for governing themselves l do

ance OF the great American govern

time comes they will demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the world their
ability to govern themselves prop
erlv."
Asked about the reports of extrav-I
agance and dishonesty of the officials
administering the Cuban funds. Mr..
Gomez said: II do not believe that
the Cuban funds have been properly
handled. The conduct of the affairs
of the island has been characterized
by carelessness and unnecessary ex-
penditure of public money. Some |
Cubans have shared in this. Many |
positions have been Gre
ated. An example of this was called |
to my attention the other dav. They |
learned that some Cubans who did
not know the difference between a
Jucaro and pine tree had been ap-
pointed inspector ofwoods at salaries
