Swager Sherey IS one Of the mos
eloquent sons Of that old Common
wealth, that has done 70 much for
Missouri, and who delighted his hear

his subject. He said he would carry

able people he had W had the plea
ure Of meeting, in the course of his
short trip through Missouri.
He brought good news from the
BLUE Grass State" and he told Mex
icoans he would take to the birth
place Of Champ Clark the gladstone
intelligence that Missouri would here
after be a stranger to the 'Mystesd
Gus Stranger" so strange. indeed
that they would not be on speaking
terms.

Gratis can save enough from one yea
of Republican rule to make a chan
mel down the Mississippi from s.
/. Louis to the Gulf.
