is always abusing. The letter
would cover nearly a half page Of
the MESSAGE. Folks reply is in
the following brief and pointed
words:
81 most emphatically deny that
asked either Mr.. Cook or Mr.. Al
len to go on the ticket, or that !
proposed any alliance with either
Of them, or that there was any al.
lance"
Folk declares that he opposed
the nomination of Cook and Allen
aud preferred the nomination Of
men who had been identified with
this movement" but he "cOuld not
and would not assume the rule of
dictator"
"Senator William j Stone in.
suits the united Democracy Of his
State by the suggestion that any
candidate on a duly nominated
State ticket will not support the
other candidates-all the nominees
of one convention.
Senator Stone, by broad infer.
ence, attacks the head of the ticket
chosen by his own party, an uupar-
allcled instance Of political irregu-
larity. His two.column TRADE can
have no other purpose than to EN-.
barrass the party that has placed
him in his high position.
1.-THE jefferson City convention
was a convention of the people.
No candidate was nominated be.
ca use of any alliance, agreement,
u understanding or combine of any
nature. | am on record in a half
dozen instances as saying that |
would have no part in debating
the nominees of convention of
Democrats with minds of their
own and wills of their own The
tic ket nominated was not chosen
by me nor by any individual, but
was the choice of the Democracy
Of the State of Missouri. Every
leader in that convention gives
his hearty support to the ticket.
This suggests n question of mi
nor importance that may possibly
interest good Democrats at this
time:
evil Senator Stone follow the
lie ad of Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Halves
and other men who took a hand in
the jefferson City convention and
pledge himself to support the tick
ct, including the head of ticketg
Or Willie continue to support the
Licket-by assailing it?"
Apropos to the above, Senator
Stone writes a second letter say
ing he meant no harm; declares that
ne had no intention of attacking
Folk-says all this in substance.
Aflirms that he will support the
State ticket; knows nothing of an
alliance, but calls on Cook, Allen
md Grow to give their version.
From this OH let Senator Stone
le good.
