Dy the doctor with getting cod liver oil
from the dispensary Wherewith to
grease his boots, rose and in a voice
that in spite of its being perforated
with spasmOdic coughs was easily
heard made a motion that the strike be
declared off.
4 pandemOnium started in with the
debate Oh this motion. The crowd out
side caught the news, and it maddened
the mob. There was a great rush for
the hall entrance. The chairman final
ly put the motion as yells of "Ques-
tiOn!' "Questionw rose on every side,
and it carried by two-thirds vote.
Instantly the men in the hall started
to rush into the street and were met at
the hall entrance by the yelling crowd
trying to get in. For several minutes
there was Il tremendous struggle, but
gradually the crowd outside, as it learn
ed Of the action of the union leaders,
gave way, and when one of the most
prominent men in the De Mott range
put the question, standing on the steps
of the courthouse at the corner, the ma
jOrity OF the voices yelled aver to
the question declaring the strike off.
| There was no accounting for this to
StuartS mind except by the fact that
all along the men had grown more and
more tired of the strike and had really
! been waiting for some one to make the
| break. Then they followed like sheep,
| and in less than ten minutes the union
was past history.
A few of the disaffected men that
night, int1amed with drink and mad at
the close Of the strike, went up to the
! Queen mine, determined to pull up the
pumps and destroy as much as posi-
| bic, but the troops had already antici-
pated such an attempt and in a skir-
mish with the miners drove them back,
no one, however, being killed and only
few heads broken with clubs and ore
missiles. Stuart did not know Of this
| until the next day, and the doctor help
ed mend the broken heads, grumbling
as he did so and declaring with each
new case that it was positively the
very last he would attend.
Stuart came out into the street feel
| ing that his part of the evenings work
had been very insignificant. He had
in fact, been almost ignored in the ex
element and had sat a silent spectator
of the affair. He was calm enough tC
realize that the doctors abrupt state
mcnt, combined with the great love the
miners had for him, had a great dea
to do with the way the matters were
being shaped. The crowd still remained
in the streets, but it was broken up in
to groups, discussing the situation an(
wondering what the owners would dc
now.

Majority,

Headquarters Democratic State Central
Committee OF Missouri.
St. Louis. Mo-. Oct. 27. 1902.
To the DENT of .issJuri:
The campaign of 1902 in Missouri 10
practically over.
No uncertainty attends the result OF
next Tuesdays contest. except the
question OF the size of the Democratic
majority.
The people Of this State are fully de-
termined to register their indignant
rebuke against the party and men who
have BY their ISLANDERS OF Missouri and
her citizens shown their utter lack OF
State pride and who, in the hope OF
partisan advantage, have not hesitat-
ed to discredit Missouri among the
States of the Union. II is the duty OF
every loyal Missourian by his vote to
coademn the narrow, partisan spirit
which assails the honor and credit OF
our State, and which for mere pur-
poses OF partisanship would Willingly
disgrace our public standing abroad
and would endanger our public schools
and other public institutions and inter-
oSts at home.
1t is not sufficient that the Repub-
lican campaign managers and the Re
publican party should be defeated next
Tuesday In Missouri; the majority
against thon ard their methods should
be so unm staEabiy large as to put a
stop forever to their attempts to libel
their own state and abuse the people
among whom they live.
II Is the liy OF every Democrat in
Missouri 10 DC actively upon the alert
from this time until the close OF the
| polls. Let this election be a personal
matter on the part of every Democrat
| for the honor and pride OF his party
and of the State in which he lives.
Democrats, let your verdict be not
| only rcbu'le to the Republican ira
ducers OF our State, but make your
majority 50 large that Missouri will
continue to be the greate4t Democratic
State in all the Union.
The watchword OF all Democrats or
election day should be to vote, and tc
see that their friends and neighbors
| vote, for the welfare and the honor OF
| Missouri
Democrats, the case Is In your hands;
the evidence Is before you; the facts
are yours. 1t is your duty to returt
the verdict The Democratic State
| Central Committee has performed 1t.
part to the best Of It's alb lity. The r.

has known no motive but love OF
