SCRAP BETWEEN REPUBLICAN PA.
PERS. .


The Republican Press, OF this cit.
and the Tribune, OF Rich Hill, boil
republican papers Of the blue strip
order, are hsmmering each othe
over the patronage question, Away
a fruitful subject for dh cusslon an
disagreement among good repubh
cans. The Republican Press say
there are well authenticated report,
that the congressional organization
in this 6th district considers 1t lie th,
whole business In making indorse
ments and refuses to recognize the en-
dorsements Of a msiority Of tn,
Bates County Central Committed
and wants TO know OF the Tribune
it thinks that good politics. Mr.
Huckeby believes in regularity il
party matters to the point Of sbiec'
servitude to the machine, says Soma
tor Warner will be the final arbitrat
or aud adds;
"In this 9th Missouri district the
man that gets the endorsement oil
our late candidate for Congress, Hon
]. F, Rhades, will be very likely to
get the appointment"
The Republican Press is for Mr.,
Fox for the post office and the Tri.
bune appears to favor Mr.. Wiz, as
the defeated congressional candidate
has endorsed Wix. Being a disinter-
ested party We can cit on the fence
and enjoy the scrap.
II the State Republican correctly
quotes Senator Warner, as 1t pre-.
tends to do, then neither Fox nor
Wix will be appointed, as they have
been scrapping over committee in
dorsemsnts, while Mr.. Welton has been
getting the Endorsements Of the pat
rons OF the office, which Senator
Warner says will control the matter,
according to that party journal.

James S. Combs, the newly elected
chairman OF Democratic County Gen.
trail Committee, Is q worthy young
gentleman OF Shawnee township. He
has served on the committee for four
years and has been active In the par
ty management. He was q candidate
for the nomination for Circuit Clerk
before the Democratic primaries and
made a very creditable race. He
possesses the ability and energy to
make q most excellent chairman,
which is confidently expected Of him.
In accepting the craftsmanship Mr..
Combs becomes the head OF the party
organization Of the county and not
the representative oiany clique or fac
tion, as, unfortunately for the party,
has been the condition for the past
few years. He will consult with all
active party workers and act wholly
for the party good. He will see that
the party is thoroughly organized
this fall and winter, 30 that when the
campaign opens up in the spring, he
will have a compact army Of season
cd troops to face the enemy, instead
Of a disorganiSsd body ofvolunteers.
II Chairman Combs does this, he will
have the active and enthusiastic sup
port Of every true democrat who de-
sires his party's success above any
personal advancement. The TINES
pledges him It's unqualified support
In the good work and urges hin to
permit no unnecessary delay In its
execution.
