The" Ukmockat made the fight
against local option almost single hand
ed. It had the help of the Lawsonlan
on the west side of the county, and a
few local worker at other points. If
those engaged or interested In the
liquor tratlc, raised a voice or spent
' money to defeat it, we have no knowl
edge of the fact. Why they made no
light we are not informed. The Dkm
oubat made the flght solely to save
the Democratic party in the county,
and not to advance the Interest of the
liquor traUo. The editor is a teetotaler
aud consequeutly the stopping of the
aleof liquor la nothing to bint person
ally, nor to any of his family, as not a
k drop is used by them in any way.
Well the fight is over and quiet once
i more reigns. During the contest many
I bitter animosities were engendered
aud many bitter things said. Whether
these will be treasured up and kept
: warm, or whether the hard feelings
1 will be permitted to die out, and our
I people once more meet a friend and
brothers, remain to be seen. As far
a the editor of the Dkmockat 1 con
cerned, be will not notice further, the
personal light that was made on him,
no matter how unjust that light was,
or how untenable the positions taken
by those who thought their cause could
be advanced by personal abuse of an
individual. We will not promise to
forget these things, because we expect
to lire and do business among this peo
ple, and it is bard to tell what the fu
ture will bring forth. There was never
at any time the (lightest reason for
the personal abuse that has been in
dulged in, but It is now a matter of
history, and as far as we are concerned
it is history we may eondon, but will
never forget.

On Monday night last, about ha If

greatest Soldiers and Statesman Mis
souri has ever known, ebbed peace
fully away, at his rooms, at the Hud-
gins house in this city, surrounded
by friends and the few relations that
survive him. He had been sick for
some time past, but bis illness did
not assume a dangerous form until
a few day before his death. He was
affiioted with no particular disease,
but having made up his mind that be
had outlived his generation, gave up
to die and refused to take such med
ioine or uounshment as was neoessa-
ry to prolong his life.

Doniphan the people entertained al
ways the highest confidence, true to

very front In his profession, as an orat
or, gifted, brilliant and captivating, the
peer or the most girted speaaers, im
pressive and convincing. As a citizen
he was benevolent, honest and useful,
with a character pure ana uncorrupt-
able. In all the relations of life as
husband, father, citizen, neighbor,
obristian, lawyer, legislator and mili
tary commander he discharged his
duties so as to command the confidence
of the people. And now after a long
and eventful lire among America s dis
