Addressed to
AQdrail Democrats.

Mexico, Mo-, Sept. 6, 1902. -
On or about the 18th ult. | wrote
an article addressed to the Demo
Gratis of Audrain Co. upon the
question of who should, or should
not be our next representative in
the legislature. | then said that
there were conditions confronting
us that made the question ii grave
one. My opinions concerning this
have not been changed but in the
light of recent events have been
confirmed. | am glad also to know
from the approval of tried and
true Democrats that my thoughts
are shared by a very large portion
of the people of the county. The
good old sturdy Democrats, the
fathers of Democracy, of this
county and conservative men of
all parties say to me, "Iou are
right, the party cannot afford to
stultify itself--or compromise its
own self respect by becoming Il
party to any mans $ private quarrels.
When a man places himself be-
fore the public as a candidate for
public Office he becomes an object
of criticism, and justly SO. 1t is
tie bounded duty of the people to
enquire into his fitness for the
position he seeks, and they have Il
perfect right to object to anything
they may see that is wrong or i'm
polite; provided they do this in a
fair, honest, honorable and cour-
teOus way. That such was the
character of my former article has
been the unanimous verdict SO far as
| have heard, aud | feel sure no
fair minded man will say other
wise. The man who asks the suf-
trages of the people and cannot
endure such criticisms is unfit for
any position in the gift of the peo-
pie. do not know whether the

Kansas City, Sept. 4 The Jour
nal to-day says: "The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad may be
running trains between Kansas

"At the Office of the Iowa and

bought a fine farm near MOlino.

President Roosevelts address to
the Masons of Philadelphia at the
celebration held to commemorate the
initiation of Washington was a re-
markably strong and clear address,
even for the vigorous man who made
it. The president preached the in.
vincible gospel of the brotherhood of
man, of the community of interests
of all classes, of education, enlighten-
ment and sturdy manhood. He went
right to the point, as he always does,
and outlined an ideal American citi-
zenship.

The gold stock in the United
States treasury, for the first time in
the countrys history, has gone above
the 5000, 900, 900 mark, the actual
figure being about $6O7, 600, 900, This
is not only the largest sum that was
ever held by the treasury along to a
few days ago, but it is a bigger
hoard than any other government
has ever had. Several years ago
Russia when accommodating a big
stock of the metal for a special pur-
pose ran the mark up to 1893, 900, 600
The United States has now left that
sum far behind.
