Several times in the history of the Re-
publican party the redemption of Missouri
from the blight of bourbonism seemed with
in sight, yet the earnest efforts of patriots
met with humiliating failur,. In nearly ev-
cry instance the reason for defeat was clear
ly discernable rs the subordination of pub
lie and party needs to personal interests and
ambition. So long as the canvasses are Or
gained to carry out personal ambitions or
strengthen fractional combinations, there
will be an element of weakness leading to-
ward disaster. 1t is soon enough to dis
cuss the personal ambitions when the party
is in power and able to satisfy them. Once
the voters are given to understand that they
are expected to vote for the elevation of n
faction that will, If it gains power, treat them
as without any rights which it is bound to
respect, those who see nothing to hope for
in victory will become apathetic and inactive.
This is but human nature. To kiss the
hand that smites is virtue never known in
politics except for a sinister and dangerous
motive. There are more true Republicans
than true Democrats in Missouri today.
But the great strength of the Republican
party in Missouri today is as in the State of
New York. not 80 much in the great cities
as in the earnest, thinking voters of the ru-
raj districts, and this condition is growing
more evident every election. This element is
most bitterly opposed to domination by
back-loom caucauses. 1t can be led easily
but can't be driven at all. 1t will listen
earnestly to fair discussion. but will not toll

has been wrung from the pockets of the tax
payers of the State. S35, OOO. 90, to pay the
bonded debt of the State and that but $15,
600 worth of bonds nave been so redeemed,
thus more money il that accounted for, mis-
applied or stolen than bonds redeemed.
This is n serious charge and deserves the
most searching inquiry.
Governor Dockery attempts to answer the
chrage by saying that the different Genera o
Assemblies of the State have ut each sue
ceeding term appointed COMMITTEES to inves-
|tigate the subject, composed of both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans and states that they
had found no fault in the management of the
States finances. lie then winds up the
lieves the story that he or they may exam
inc the accounts or look for themselves.
The charge is n specific one, and in which
every taxpayer of the State is interested.
The denial is an ~evasive one and more in
keeping with the tactics of n political dema-
gogue than an executive officer of n great
State. Was there collected from the peo-
pie of the State $50, O00, 900 to pay State
bonds and only S15, 900, 900 80 used?
Article 3 Section % of the Constition
of the State makes it the duty of the Gov
ernor to investigage aud make known how
the peoples money has been expended.
The Governor cannot escape his duty when
so serious a charge is made by saying some
other branch of the government has made
such investigation. Let the Governor make
the examination aud give the people the
figures and the facts over his own signature
and then il the Globe Democrat or any citi-
zen is dissatisfied give them a chance to in
vestigate and disprove it. The people want
no lodging on this vital question that has
been raised. WARNER LEWIS.
