MORGAN COUNTY BARYTES.
A Live Issue For ShacklefOrd.

Special Correspondence 0! Globe Democrat.
Versailles, Mo, Sept. 4th.-Morgan
county, of which this pretty little town
is the metropolis, feels itself honored in
being the home of the only Republican
who has been elected to congress from
this district in a great many years, and
particularly so since he defeated the late
"Ssilvcr Dick" Bland, who had come to
be looked upon as invincible. This is
DR.. Joel Douglass Hubbard, who has
since retired from politics, SO ia, as
seeking place for himself is concerned,
but whose activity in behalf of republic
canism is no less vigorous than before.
Morgan county, as an integral part of
the Sth district, has always given a good
account of herself in the efforts to send
to congress a republican, and promises
to do better this time than ever before,
as was evidenced by the two splendid
meetings held on Saturday, September
lst. When DR.. Hubbard was in con-
yress his efforts to do something which
| would be Of benefit to the country and
necessarily this would bring bcncft ia
the district he represented are in strong
contrast with the course of the present
member of congress. DR.. Hubbard is
largely entitled to the credit for tl!e fac,
that the Pacific railroads, which had
been toying with the government in tho
payment OF their Indebtedness to it
were ~"brouYht to time" AS the small
boy would aay, and il is due to him tina
Attorney General Harmon, who was il
the Cleveland cabinet, was awakened
long enough to learn that the Sherman
antitrust law was in existence. True
Mr.. Harmon tool no action, his reply t
