 George G. Vest of Missouri became United States senator from that state in March. 1879. and at the expiration of his present term in 1903 he will have served twenty-four years consecutive ly. He is now more than 70. infirm in health and entitled to honorable re tirement after his long service. which has been brilliant in many particulars and generally satisfactory to the demo- cratic voters of Missouri. But the a,- nouncement that ex-Governor Wm. ]. Stone Of Missouri might contest with MT. Vest the caucus nomination on the democratic side in Missouri appears to have aroused the more active and steadfast democrats of that state to a determination to oppose the aspirations of Mir. Stone by advocating the re-elec- tion of MT. Vest and in such q contest there is very little doubt in Missouri that Vest would win.
