A Sample Of Republican Pretenses. Hi,
Missouri and His Kansas Speeches
Compared. NJ.

l.. L. r.. McJlmsey, editor OF the
Maryville Tribune, who was chat:
man OF the late republican state con-
vention at Jefferson City, recently
addressed therepublicans at Topeka.
kas.. and in his speech he told the
following truth:
Every year we make great deal
OF noise over in Missouri and claim
the republicans are going to carry
the state, but you have noticed that
when the votes are counted we don't
carry the state, but areeverlastingly
showed under.
1--WE do all the talk necessary. but
you see our blow and buster don't
scare the average Missouri democrat
worth II cent. I'm awtully disguised
when | hear our republican friends
talk before election about carrying
Missouri, and the returns come in
as they always do-showing the re-
publicans have lost in every part of
the state. But still we have republi-
cans who keep on talking about car
rying Missouri, but it didn't fool
anybody unless it is some republi-
cans in Kansas
Last week local organ published
a speech delivered at the recent re.
publican state convention by f. T..
! f. McJimsey.
Among other things McJimsey
said:
I'll search nature in vain for sim
ilitude that shall adequately por-
tray the CONSERVATION and ruin
which the prayers Of the Missouri
democracy can neither avert nor
m uch longer postpone. 1t has been
estimated that as many as 10000
so uls found a frightiul burial meath
the liberated hell from the hateful
heart of Martinique's fire belching
ountain. Not quite such direful
doom awaits the enemies OF pure and
popular government in old Missouri,
but sad to them and glad to US will
be the November day when the $780,
600 democrats OF Pukedom find deep
and everlasting burial meath the
storm of ballots which an indignant
and pilfered people shall rain upon
their brazen and offending heads"
Commenting on this speech the
Linneus Bulletin says editorially:
"On reading this familiar prophecy
put in such sophomore language,
one is constrained to ask, who is
McJimsey2 Concretly, McJimsey is
a republican editor, who lives in
NJ aryville, good town located in
the good county of Nodaway. in the
great state which ne refers to as
"Pukedom." Who is McJimsey?
He is a bird-eyidently of the sort
that befouls its own nest. 1t was
Nc Jimsey who made Il speech at
gathering Of Kansas postmasters,
and there vilified Missouri in terms
that endeared him to the Jayhawk-
er's heart, processing to hate Mis-
souri, and her institutions, he yet
does not seek another haven, where
his bile-soaked soul may find things
more to his likeing McJimsey stay
ed with us because it is only here that
his ilk may be found. Yes; there are
Others like unto him in Missouri, and
this fact leads us to study the man
in the abstract; or take up the Me-
Jimseys as class.
Who are the McJimseys?
The McJimseys are the pariahs of
their party, who, for the privilege OF
strutting an hour before state con.
vention, will undertake any dirty
W ork, even to the libeling of the state
W herein their homes are made. But
give them leave to stand in the brief
glare of the calcium and they will
call Missouri "Pukedem, hts officers
"robbers" and its people fools"
Publicity, though brief, and a little
federal pap are all that are necessary
to get the McJimseys in working
condition.
No one hears OF them until CAIN
paign year comes around, and the
odor of political pie is floating on
the winds. Like buzzards, only one
sort Of food attracts them; they
work at naught else. They plan
no thing of importance, they build
no thing great. Con6ne their efforts
to rending, breaking down and spoil
ing. They do nothing for the good
