congress are agreed for the first time
i'm eighteen years, due in part at least
to the skill and courage Of Mr.. Clark
as leader. This condition makes Clark
the special object of partisan hatred.
Another reason is that Mr. Clark
the mental equal of any Republican
in either branch of congress, and
the superior of amy of them in debate.
They have felt his thrusts and suf.
fered from his scourge until they hav
become possessed OF holy fear of
him and want to be rid of his pres
ence.
"Sill another is that he knows
more about the tariff than the man
who fathered the Payne-Aldrich bill,
and they know that as long as he re-
mains In congress there will be no
peace for the men who are RESPONSE
Bile for that act of dnfamy. The inter
ests which profit by the protective
tariff, and the men whom they deepen
upon to perpetuate at, hope to defeat
Clark and come in for spell of easy
breathing and unrestrained pillaging.
There are many other reasons
why it is desirable from Republican
standpoint to defeat the representa-
tive of the Ninth district, Every one
cf them grows out of Clark's antag-
onism of wrong and unflinching de-
votion to right.
"And these reasons ought to be suf
floient to cause, every Democrat in
the Ninth Congressional district to
go to the polls oH Nov. s and vote
for Clark. Moreover, they ought to
cause that large class Of Republicans
who are Americans before they ar
partisans to vote FOR Clark.
"The fight on Clark is not simply
to defeat a Democrat and elect a
publcan,--it is to get rid Of man
who has too much intelligence to be
deceived, too much honor 10 betray
the people of the country, and toe
much manhood to submit to the dom
ination of men whose only desire Is
to exploit the government This be
ing true, 1t is hoped that party lines
will be set aside long enough to in
sure Mr. Clarks reelection by al
overwhelming majority"

THE St. Louis Post-Dispatch of
Wednesday, Oct. 12, says: "We have
not charged Ex-Governor Francis with
taking or receiving a cent that be-
longed to the Treasury of the Expo
sition. We have not charged him
with grating. We have not charged
that he made profit through the oper-
ation of the Worlds Fair Terminal. :"
Is the Post simply trying to beat
Francis because 1t don't Nike the col
or of his hair or the cut of his trous-
ers? OF course, no man could or
should expect to be the unanimous
choice of the Democracy of the State
but it Dis exceedingly gratifying to &C
ernor Francis as we'll as to all fair
minded people everywhere, that these
unfair charges were so successfully
refuted What is behind these
fierce, concerted attacks on one OF
Missouris most distinguished Demo
Gratis. No such assaults are made by
anybody on any other andidates for
any other office anywhere, What's
doing, anyway?

REPUBLICANS TRYING

TO BEAT CLARK.
REFERRING to the effort being
made by the Republicans to defeat
Hon. Champ Clark, of this district for
Congress, the Fulton Gazette editor
tally says:
Republican leaders of the Ninth
Congressional District caueused dn ST
Louis Tuesday OH ways and means to
defeat Champ Clark for Congress and
send the apostate Democrat, Reuben
r. Roy. to Washington to represent
the district.
"No concealment is made of the
fact that Republicans would rather
beat Clark than amy man ON the
Democratic side Of the national house
of representatives. Cannon's veno
nous attacks on him and the St. Lou
is Globe-Democrat' IS uceasing men
dacjty show the wrath of the radicals
toward the minority leader. Practical
lv no concealment is made of the
intention of the national Republican
congressional committee to poul
money into the district to help Roy
if it is shown that he has any chance
whatsoever to win.
"Why the unusual hostility towar'
Clark?
zone great anlmating cause for
is that under Clarks leadership th'
Democrats in the house of represents
tiyes have become a united, resolut'
and aggressive fighting force, dan
rerous alike to individual Republican

OF JOHN GROFFORI'S
Wl[L2 THE QUESTION

The win of John Groffort, who was
found dead with his wife at his home
In vandaha, Saturday, was probated
Wednesday 1t left all his property,
which amounts in all to about $4,000
to his wife. The question now is to
prove whether Mr.. or Mrs. Grof
fort died first to settle which of the
heirs get the property.
The will was written Dec. lS, 1885,
and Witnessed by Chas. Daniel and
D. P. Daniel and appointed DR.. D. l..
s. Bland, executor Of his estate. T.
Mr.. Ggeffort died befcTe his wife, the
property will have naturally reverted
TO her by the will should none other
be found; but II Mrs Groffort died
first, the viii lapsed and his heirs
viii receive the properly. The above
is the obstruction placed upon the
law by Probate Judge w. w. Bolts.
Mrs. Groffort was a Miss Moore.
A brother, G. W. Moore, Of Iowa,
was in Mexico Tuesday night and
told Judge Bolts that If the property
should prove to be Mrs. Groffort's,
her heirs desired it should so TO Mrs
Nuckles, of near yandalia, who was
reared by the Grofforts, though not
legally adopted. Mrs. Nuckles was a
daughter of one of Mrs. Groffort's
brothers.
Mrs. Martin Kunkel, Of this city, Is
the only living sister OF Mr.. Gorffort
Mrs. Jas. Dye and Mrs. Susan
Furber, two sisters, are dead but
leave children as heirs.

TO IMPROVE sRlLL's ADDITION

At .meeting of tire property owners of the Brill addition last Wednesday evening". it was the opinion of quite d number in attendance that building restrictions would increase the value of their property and make the add- ton more desirable as a residence dis trict. x committee was appointed to see the property owners and ask them to sign a petition to that effect The committee is TT M. Burroughs. Victor Steinegger and $. C. Patterson. What success the committee has met with thus far has not been report ad. There k no doubt but that the Brill addition is one of the finest sections of the city so far as location. soil and street car facilities are concerned. and the only criticism that is offered by prospective buyers is that the number of shack houses is greater in proportion to the whole number than is the case in some other additions. These naturally de- tract somewhat from the effect of the better houses. It is a common thing to open new additions with building restrictions. but it is quite unusual for the settlers in d locality to undertake in this manner the raising of their own standards and denotes q fine sense of civic pride. as well as practical busi- ness judgment. whether they succeed notably or not.
