4 SAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN PRETENsE
His Missouri and His Kansas Speeches
Compared.

f. E. E. McJimsey, editor Of the
Maryville Tribune, who was chair
man Of the late Republican State
Convention at Jefferson City, recently
addressed the republicans at Topeka,
Kansas, and in his speech he told thea
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
lwhen the votes are counted we don't J
Z carry the state, but are everlasting
ly showed under. We do all the talk !
necessary, but you see our blow and
buster don't scare the average Mis-
souri, democrat worth cent. I'm
awfully disgusted when / hear our
republican friends talk before election
about carrying Missouri, and the re-
turns come in-as they always do
showing the republicans have lost in
every part of the state. But still we
Nave republicans who keep on talking
about carrying Missouri, but 1T don't
fool anybody unless it is some repub-
llcans in Kansas"
WHO ARE THE M'JIMsEYs?
Last week local organ published
speech delivered at the recent repub-
lican state convention by e. E. E.
McJimsey.
Among other things McJimsey said;
81 search nature in vain for a
lsImiltude that shall adequately por-
Eray the CONSERVATION and ruin which
the prayers OF the Missouri democracy
can neither avert nor much longer
postpone. 1t has been estimated that
as many as 10000 souls found a
frightful burial meath the liberated
hell from the hateful heart Of Mar
tiDique's fire-belching mountain.
Not quite such direful doom awaits
the enlmies of pure and popular gov
ernment in old Missouri, but sad to
Mhem and glad TO us will be the Nov
ember day when the 100000 demo-
Gratis Of Pukedom find deep and ever
lasting burial meath the storm Of bal
lots 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 phophecy
put in such sophomore language, one
is constrained to ask. who is Nc.
Jimsey? Concretly, McJimsey is
republican editor, who lives in Mary
vile, a good town located in the gOot
county of Nodaway, 10 the grea'
state which he refers to as "Puke
DOM" Who is McJimsey9 He is
Bird evidently of the sort that be
fouls its own nest 1t was McJimsel
who made a speech at a gathering 0
Kansas post masters, and there viii
fed Missouri In terms that endearet
him to the Jayhawkcr heart. Pro
,fessing to hate Missouri and her in
istitutions, he yet does not seek an
other haven, where his bile-soakel
soul may find things more to his lik
ing. McJimsey stays with us. be
cause it is only here that his Tx ma
be found. Yes; there are others lik
unto him in Missouri, and this FAC
leads us to study the man in th
abstract; or to take up.he McJimsey
as class.
