HE'S A CHARACTER.
The People Themselves
Should VOuCh For Those
Who Hold Office.

jefferson City, Mo-, July 49,
One of the characters at the State
capitol at present is Senator Thos.
l.. Rubey, Lieutenant Governor of
the State, having fallen heir to
that post upon the resignation of
John A. Lee and now a candidate
for reelection.
Rubey has the support of the
Folk delegates because he is an
honest man, painstaking and able.
He is from LaPlata and has the
ability to think before he speaks,
so that he seldom has to retract.
Rubey is staunch for the anti
Doodle platform. He demands re-
form in public Office, but will not
be drawn into a discussion about
the Cooke Allen controversy. That,
he feels, is a matter for the con-
vention to discuss and he is willing
to let the voice of the convention
be the sense of the people.
This has been a most remarka-
BILE campaign" said Rubey. 1t
has likewise been a costly one,
costly to me anyhow, because the
Office l seek is more of an honor
than otherwise. The campaign
has brought out the need of a gen
eral primary law and one will
probably be passed. AS it was
one had to travel all over the
State. One day there were pri-
maries here and the next day
there. Once I recall I was at
Poplar Bluffs and the next day
found me at Joplin.
"One thing this campaign did
more than anything else 1t brought
the candidates into touch with the
people and that alone was a
mighty good thing.
"One day / was driving in st.
Clair county. / reached a village
aud. getting into the main street,
pulled upat the door Of the gem
eral store. | stepped in and shook
hands with the proprietor, handed
him my card and told him who
was.
Well, well, he said.

Missouri a lifetime and for 40
years have been voting the Demo-
cratic ticket, yet this is the first
time l have seen candidates com
ing among the people and solicit
ing votes
"The same prevailed in other
sections Of the State. Yes, the
campaign has done that much good
and a general primary will give the
people a chance to see and judge
the candidates at all elections in
stead Of allowing a few men to Sc
lect and vouch for the men who

Since the Doodle Investigations
began in st. Louis two years ago
two Republican newspapers have
started up in that city. One is the
Missouri Republican" aud the
other THE st. Louis World" We
understand that 200 copies of the
latter come to the Mexico postoffice
weekly. Some folks think the old
Globe Democrat at times too bit
terly partisan and recklessly dis
regardful of the truth, but the
CD. is hardly a circumstance
compared with the Republican or
the World, especially the latter. AS
is known, the World courts the
Butler stamp of Democracy when
it pretends to talk Democracy at
ALT has no patience with the
pure brand, goes insane at the
suggestion. The World declares
that the State Democracy has chO-
sen "a common thief" to head its
ticket. When the st. Louis Iboo-
die prosecutor is thru with some
of the boodlers he is now engaged
in chasing down he may look into
this charge and the World will be
compelled to both put up and
shut up. In the meantime we re-
mark that if you can stand the
Missouri Republican or the st.
Louis World you ought never to
complain of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A RECKLESS DEED.
A Mexico Soldier Said to
Have Shot a Man at
MOberly.

Last Mondays Moberly Monitor
contains the following:
Two cars of soldiers, one from
Mexico and one from Kirksville,
passed thru this city Sunday morn
ing, en- route to Nevada to attend
the State encampment.
The two cars were attached to
the NJ, K. & T. train which leaves
here at 5:25 a. m. and as this
train pulled out one of the heart
less soldiers without the least
provocation pulled a revolver from
his pocket aud shot a man who
was sitting on some telegraph
poles, just south of the Wabash
stock yards.
The bullet struck the man, en-
tered his knee, and very painfully,
but not seriously injuring him.
Passersby found the man and
came to town after John Hogue who
went after him and brought him
to town and took him to DR.. @. b.
Clapp's Office where the wound
was dressed.
An X-ray examination showed
that the bullet had not stayed in
his limb, but no place could he
found where it came out.
The man was stranger in the
city, but gave his name az Robert
Campbell and his home as st.
Louis and he had q union paint
er's card and stated that he had
been doing some painting at
Gallatin, Missouri, and was on his
way to st. Louis and was sitting
on the telegraph poles when the
train passed and waved at the SOL
diers, as most any enc would have
done, and one of the soldiers who
was sitting on the steps of the car
shot at him with the above results.
He was sent to his home in st.
Louis on No. 20 and nothing could
be done then to find out which one
of the soldiers did the shooting,
but he will be found out and
brought back here and prosecuted.
Adiutant General Thomas Dam
eron, of Huntsville, left this morn
ing for Nevada to Investigate the
matter and get the soldier who did
the shooting.
1t is thought he is one of the
Mexico soldiers.
The soldier might have done the
shooting to scare the man, but il
will teach him a lesson and he
should be dealt with to the extent
of the law.

PURE DEMOCRACY.


ferson's first Inaugural Address,
setting forth the Essential Princi-
pies of the Democratic Party.J
About to enter, fellowcitizens,
on the exercise of duties which
comprehend everything dear and
valuble to you, it is proper you
should understand what / deem the
essential principles Of our govern
ment, and consequently those
which ought to shape its admins
tration. will compress them
within the narrowest compass they
will bear, stating the general priu-
ciple, but not all its limitations.
Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever state or persuasion,
religious or political; peace com
merce and honest friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances
with none; the support of state
governments in all their rights, as
the most competent administra-
ton for our domestic concerns
and safest bulwarks against anti
republican tendencies; the preser-
walton of the general government
in its whole constitutional vigor,
as the sheet anchor of our peace at
home and safety abroad; a jealous
care of the right of election by the
people-a mild and safe corrective
of abuses which are Topped by the
sword of revolution where peaceful
remedies are unprovided; absolute
acuuiescence in the decisions Of the
majority and vital principle of re-
publics, from which there is no
appeal but to force, the vital prin-
ciple and immediate parent of des-
potism; Il we'll disciplined militia
our best reliance in peace and for
the first moments of war, till regu-
lars may relieve them; the suprem-
acy of the civil over the military
authority; economy in the public
expense that labor may be lightly
burdened; the honest payment of
our debts and sacred preservation
of the public faith encourage
ment of agriculture and of com
merce as its handmaidi the diffu-
sion of information aud arraign-
ment of all abuses at the bar OF
public reason, freedom of religion,
freedom of press and freedom of
person under the protection Of the
habeas corpus, and trials by juries
impartially selected. These prin-
ciples form the bright constellation
which has gone before us and
guided our steps thru an age of
revolution and reformation. The
wisdom of our sages and blood of
our heroes have been devoted to
their attainment. They should be
the creed of our political faith, the
text of civic instruction, the touch.
stone to try the services of those
we trust; and should we wander
from them in moments of error
and alarm, let us hasten to retract
our steps and regain the roaG
which alone leads to peace, liberty
and safety.
