Since the state supreme court

somewhat strange in view of the
fact that the adoption of the
amendment would wipe out the
business of the great breweries.
Perhaps they feel that the prohibi-
ton question will not carry, or if
it does, that the supreme court can
be relied upon to knock it out on
the grounds of constitutional or
technical defect. Still, the liquor
interests may shortly open an ac-
tive campaign against the adoption
Of the amendment. While the
prohibitiopists are showing some
activity on their side, the PROPOSE

Bless you, no; they have already
raised the price of coal so cents a

because of a "shortage" due to the

proceed to tack on another so

Jefferson City Letter.
Special correspondence,

Special correspondence.
Jefferson City. Sept. 12.-The principal
editors. writer's and speakers who assume
to express Democratic sentiment in the
pending campaign. are still following up
the lead Of Senator Bill Stone, and are
attacking Governor Had ey concerning
every relation he sustains toward the fnan.
cial affairs of the state. descending to the
smallest item of expense incurred in the
maintenance of the executive mansion
and ascending to the big appropriations
made by the legislature. as if those appro-
priations were made on the order of the
Governor and are to be expended under
his personal direction. People with com.
mon sense and the least practical knowl.
edge of state affairs ought not be deceived
for a moment by these maliciously false
and grossly unfair attacks. Whatever
effect they may have on ignorant voters
these attacks are disgusting sensible
Democrats.
Hon. w. L. Gupton, one of the most
reputable and influential Democrats Of
Montgomery county, a member of the
Board of Managers of the Mt. Vernon
Sanitarium by appointment Of Governor
Folk, has expressed a prevailing senti-
ment among fair-minded Democrats in the
following letter to the editor of his home
paper, the Montgomery Standard, lead
ing Democratic weekly:
Montgomery City. August 19.-Editor
Standard-On the first page of your issue
OF this date you have an item of which the
following is a quotation: Under the
Hadley regime one hundred thousand
dollars is spent annually in propagating
English and Mongolian pheasants and
Hungarian quail. while the State Sanitar.
ium for tuberculosis at Mt. Vernon is
sorely hampered for funds to carry on a
noble work.
This language is a rank injustice to
Governor Hadley. He does not pass ap-
bills. as you we'll know. He
has the right to recommend and the power
to approve or veto. He approved every
item of the appropriation made for the
support of the sanitarium by the last
general assembly. There was one build.
ing appropriation which on account of
apparant lack of funds in the state treas.
ury was held up by the Governor with the
full approval and consent of the board of
managers. Bat this appropriation has
been released and the plans are now being
drawn and the contract will be let for this
building about September IS, 1870. The
only item on which our management is
short is in its maintenance appropriation.
and this shortage was caused by the legis,
|ature failing to provide for seven
thousand dollar deficit coming over from
The Folk administration, and which has
been provided for out of the appropriation |
made by the last general assembly. This
shortage. for which Governor Hadley was
not responsible. has been provided for out
