THE TICKET.

90 you jhlnk OF the PLATFORM
- Our general answer is that we go
more in the ticket and in the plat
form adopted than we ever got il
any previous contest or campaign
fight. On that score it seems thai
we should feel quite well satisfied
Folk was unanimously chosen.
1t is a good government plat.
! form in toto.
At least three ont of five on the
State Board Of Equalization are
Folk supporters and hence the pub.
/ lie service corporations may expect
TO be called upon to pay their just
share of taxes with the farmer and
the merchant.
The Folk supporters are in
overwhelming control of the State
Central Committee which is to con
troll the campaign.
All in all, this nearly makes
! everything unanimous.
"A clean sweep" was wanted,
and it was except in the case of two
nominees. There was nothing
against Allen except he was called
Il machine man and had been in Of
flee number of years. But, for
that matter, so has Sena tor Cock
rell, and others, been in Office a
long time. Allen got one hundred
more votes for Treasurer than
Cook got for Secretary. AS to
Cook, he practically had the nom
inatiOn by direct primaries without
counting the so-called Indian vote
from st. Louis city, and there
was no way of defeating him with
out delegates boiling their instruc-
tions and breaking their sacred
pledges to their constituents at
home. That would have been
dangerous, slap at representative
government, and we are glad they
did not do it.
The Jefferson City convention
did I'M excellent work. 1t best ex-
pressed the voice of the people.
Democracy means majority rule.
The majority has spoken, aud it is
up to all good Democrats to get
into line.
Maybe there is little mixture
OF thc good aud the bad, but that
was to be expected We are all
human aud the millennium is not
here yet.
Go and read again that most ex-
cellent platform which was dept
ed, nay Democratic brother. and
then Let me leave you with this adj
vice from King Jehoshphat nearly
three thousand years ago, Deal
cumageOusly, and the Lord will be
with the good"
Further upon the subject of the
ticket and the platform the nom
inee for Governor thus expresses
himself:
There was absolutely no com
promise of any nature or charac,
ter, The nominees of the conyen-
vention represent the wishes of
the Dem ocracy of the state, ex-
pressed in county primaries and in
conventions. There was no way
for me TO prevent the nomination
of men who had been instructed
for. or eOurse | could have de-
clined the nomination for governor
but it would have been childish to
desert the men who bad stood by
ne in this strenuous Ggit, and de-
elined to do the work delegated bg
me, simply because other men on
the ticket were not my personal
choice.
The platform adopted by the
convention goes farther chan any

The Republicans are scrapping
among themselves at St Joseph
this week. It seems to be even
worse than any scrap among the
Democrats at jeff City last week.
At st. Joseph two candidates de-
clined to make the race for the
State craftsmanship, charging VIM
clean politics, " and, in the case of
the Walbridge faction, charging
"an unholy alliance" with the
criminal element in st. Louis.
Fact is, the Republicans in this
State this time, in putting them
selves up against Folk and the
Folk platform, are putting them
selves in the light of joining with
the Doodle and criminal element of
the whole VIDE State, which ele-
ment has no politics nor the iota
of patriotism.

The Philadelphia Record, Dem
ocratic, commenting upon Folks
nomination in Missouri says it is
like draught of mountain air, "
and further it says it cannot
fail to have stimulating influence
upon the Democrats all over the
country. The Republicans are
afraid to oppose Folk and are non
plused by a situation which they
did not anticipate" The Phil
adelphia North American,
Republican, comments: The
unanimous nomination of Mr.. Folk
for the goyernorship, which means
inevitably his election, shows that
when the public conscience is thor
oily aroused, even an overwh elm
ingly dominant party may be
compelled to declare for honesty. "

New York, Oct. 2s.- Hearst's Ameri-

consistency in protesting antitrust
principles, while at the same time in

mere political madness to allow such
Democrats as Grover Cleveland and
Richard Olney TO take the stump. For
every Republican vote they gain.
hundreds, if not thousands, Of Demo
cratic votes are lost. They don't rep
resent genuine Democracy on the trust
issue. nor on any other which has pop
ular strength behind it. Cleveland did
nothing toward prosecuting trusts
when he was President Later he did
his best TO hinder their prosecution by
Attorney-General Knox. Olney's po
sition is no better.
"In essentials Cleveland and Olney
