WHAT OF THE OUTLOOK.
This is a moment of speculation
and distrust in Missouri politics, and
particularly in the southwest. It is
the time of all others tor thought,
care and judicious management. In
the approaching Democratic con
ventions ot all grades, peace and
harmony should characterize the de
liberations, and the results must be
no mistake. The Democratic party
of the country is counting on an in
crease of four members from Mis
souri m the next Consults. The
question, as it presents itself to us,
is, can we, or can we not, tulfill the
expectation?
An attempt to Mahoneize Mis
souri foreshadowed in the outlook
months ago, is now about as near
the fact as it is possible anything
' t 1 M. A. 1 1 A-..
can be. Who are to be the chozen
leaders, no one, we presume, are at
this time able to say, but there is one
thine: about Which there can be but
little dispute western Missouri is
, to be the commencement of the. con
flict.
Already in this, our own district,
the preliminary work ot organization
has commenced. The plan is to
disregard Democratic nominations
and under the disguising, deceiving
battle cry of "loyal Democracy', the
first act of political revolution is to
be inaugurated
"Loyal Democracy," what does it
mean ? According to the old-fash
ibned definition it means fidelity to
Democratic principles and the Demo
cratic party from the organization of
the Government. The new interpre
tation means secession from the old
party and a sort of amorous union
with Greenbackers - and ' Radicals.
The disaffected, discordenf, inuti
neous, Democrats so-called, are to
make the break, nominate a ticket of
soft-headed adventurers, then the
Rads. and G. B's. are to fall into line
and constitute the tale end -of the
monkey.
There is being quietly circulated
in Cass county a petition calling up
on all 'loyal Democrats" to meet
in convention at Harsisonville, on
July 1st, for the purpose of organiza
tion. Members of the old Crisp
faction are doing the work, and are
evidently proceeding under higher
authority, at least some of their own
men tell it that way.
To what extent the program will
be foowed remains to be seen ; it is
known quite positively, however, that
the purpose is to disrupt four Con
gressional districts and send four
representatives to Congress who
will stand solid against the. Demo
crats and in with the Republicans.
Democrats, look to vour picket
lines and see that no inroads are made
on your termory.
ABOUT BUTLER'S CELEBRATION-
It is strange, indeed, that when
ever Butler makes an effort to cele
brate the 4th of July, there are al
ways a few grumbling,4! mouthing,
jealous individuals who take it upon,
themselves to disconcert every plan
by pitching all sorts of rubbish stuff
in the way, at the. same time keep
ing themselves well in disguise, un
der a Decoming cloak of pretentious
zeal and ambiguous comment.
On every occasion some flippant
pretext is sought for and is always
found ; then this and that little ob
jection is raised and the trouble be-
gins. This year the fact that CoL
Crisp is to deliver the oration fur
nishes, ostensibly, the disturbing
plea, but the real cause may have a
different source. .; 7 - --f
The mouth piece of the fault
finding, dissenbous element fears a
"demonstration in the interest of Ma-
honeism and Crispism," and be
cause of that apprehension they pro
pose to deal lightly with the busi
ness, entertaining the secret hope
that the boom will burst before the
proper time arrives. The disre
spectful appellation of "Jumbo" is
suggestive of the past, and opens
the valve of prejudice on the one
side and jealousy on the other. To
satisfy a lengthy period of pent-up
gaul and a disposition to set down
upon everything their slow judge
ment does not dictate, these very
patriotic and easily frightened per
sons would oppose an important
local interest and aim to bring dis
aster upon Butler's business efforts
The celeb ation of the 4th of July
is not a political event ; the bring
ing of Col. Crisp here on tha day
has no political significance, and
the people know it. Umbrage is
only taken because the managers of
the celebration did not consult and
advise with them to the exclusion o
everybody else. The proposed cele
oration is for the interest of Butler
and her business 'men.. It is her
businessmen, her .merchants; her
shop-keepers, her advertisers, al
who are doing the r work, 'Who in
augurated the arrangements. The
chief feature for the occasion ia John
T. Crisp ; he is the winning card
the main object of attraction.;: . Let
no doubt of his coming .' arise ; he
will be here as sure as the sun rises
and sets, if kind Providence does hot
forbid. The splendid program wil
be carried our to the letter, which in
dudes a setting-down upon all chron
ic blusterers and enemies to Butler's
best business interests.
A JOURNALIST GOUE. . fl ,
Capt. John Brand, managing edi
tor ot the Bates county Republican,
published in this city, died in his
room, at the Palace hotel, on Satur
day afternoon, of ulceration of the
throat, which caused the breaking of
a blood vessel, producing death very
suddenly
Capt. Brand was over sixty years
of age, and had served his lite time
in the printer's profession. He came
to Bates county from Carrollton,
Missouri, about two years ago and
located in the Review office at Rich
Hill. When the Republican com
pany was organized it unanimously
selected Capt. Brand as managing
editor of the paper, in wnich capacity
he was only permitted to serve about
six weeks.
The deceased was an able writer,
a clever gentleman and a useful citi
zen. He has been the publisher of
many newspapers and his place in
the ranks of journalism will be a
difficult one to fill.
D. A. CHUBGHELL
We call the attention ot our Demo
cratic friends to the card of Dr. A.
Churchell, of Vernou county, pub
lished elsewhere in the Times.' As
will be remembered Dr. Churchell
has been, chosen by the Vernon
county Democracy as their candidate
for Congress in the nominating con
vention. Dr. Churchell is regarded
by those who have known him long
and intimately" as a gentleman of
high moral, social and intellectual
standing, and a Democrat pure and
simple. He arrays himself squarely
on the side of the people against the
monopolist, and has given evidence
of careful study of the great ques
tions. - : -
During the canvass, so far Dr.
Churchell has been the recipient of
numerous flattering notices from the
press of the , district, - and realizing
that the people are the . power, we
would respectfully submit his. candi
dacy to them for thought and action.
The Osceola Sun ot the 15th an
nounces the candidacy ol Hon. Frank
C Nesbit, of St. Clair . county, for
Congress in the lath district, subject
to; the Democratic convention.
Should it become our lot we could
support Major Nesbit with all die
eeal which our heart Is capable.
He is a true , man and a Democrat
worthy the name.

CHA8- W. SLOAH
Elsewhere among our announce
ments to-day will be seen that of
Chas. W. Sloan, of Cass county,
placing himself before the people for
the Democratic nomination for the
State Senate. : . .
Mr. Sloan staits in the race with
the solid backing ot the Democracy
of his county, in which faith he has
been a zealous and conspicuous
worker for a life time. He is a
gentleman respected at home and
abroad for his pure, moral, splendid
intellect and uncompromising in
tegrity. Competent in every par
ticular for the position to which he
aspires, the party would feel honor
ed in his selection.
Mr. Jsloan does not, understand,
ask the support of Bates county un
til after, if such a contingency arises
her own efficient son, Hon. T. N.
Ballard, fails to secure the nomina
tion. In such an event Mr. Sloan
would ask our support, and his ap'
plication will deserve careful con-
ideration. s
THE CELEB JBATION BACKET
We were not aware that vc were
appointed on the committee on
speakers-for the Butler fourth of
uly celebration, until informed so
on yesterdav. We interviewed
C. Clark, Esq; the third member of
the committee and find, so far as a
majority of the committee is con
cerned,: 8 no" speakers ha'-e been in-

virca ior ine ceieorauon. 11 jonn
T, Crisp is to speak here on tne 4th,
a" majority of the committee had
nothing to do with sending him an
invitation. Democrat.
With a feeling of respect and com
passion for our heighber in his very
humiliating position on the 4th of July
business, we feel constrained,never
theless, to inform him, upon the
subject. In the first place the orig
inal proceedings show that the edi
tor of the Democrat isoa mem'
ber of the committee on speakers.
ana rurtnermere tnat ne is not a
member of and committee having in
charge the celebration ; and to be
definite, though pointed, we are au
thoritivelv intormed that he was not
wanted on any committee
The committee appointed to look
after speakers is composed ot the
the following gentlemen: T- C.
Clark ; A. L. McBride ; O. D. Aus
tin ; Sam'l levy and Chas. T. Mc
Farland. The sense f the commit
tee has been taken with reference to
the bringing ot Col. Crisp here on
the 4th, and the result shows four
out of five favorable to his coming,
How does that strike you for a ma
jority. The reader will be kind enoush
to excuse this personal mention:
When the managers began arranrinr
for the celebration, they requested
the editorjtof the Times to commu
nicate with Col. Crisp with a view
of securing his presence and elo
quence for the occasion. We con
sented to do as requested and our
efforts were successful. That
action on the part of the managers
was unanimously approved in the
meeting held subsequently, at which
the various committees were ap
pointed. The whole gist of the business is.
the Democrat has been left in the
make up of the program, because it
has thrown cold water on the move
ment from the start. The managers,
who compose about all of the best
business men in the city, knew this
and have acted without advise or fa
vor from that quarter. The Times
understood the. celebration to be a
Butler enterprise and we went in to
win, so far as our mite would con
tribute to that result, and we pro
pose to carry out our original pur
pose with redoubled zeal now since
the humble part we have played has
elicited so much opposition.
Nevada Mailt 1 Senator DeAr-
mond.it is said, is making a 'still
hunt" ior Congress in this district,
but hasn't yet visited the ; banner
county- Vernon. v We are all for
Churchell here, bat the Senator

should he conclude to favor us with a

Card.
Democrats and Friends:
In compliance with the solicita
tions of many of you, and fully com
prehending the situation, and the
inevitable struggle that must soon
come between the toiling masses
and monopolists, I respectfully an
uounce myself a candidate for the
office of Congressman ot this
(Twelfth) District.
The monopolists, through their
hirelings, are at work endeavoring
by misrepresentations and fraud, to
influence and compel you to support
men who are ready to do their bid
ding and receive the wages for their
treachery.
Vear after year vou have been
robbed by exorbitant charges for
transportation of your stock, pro
duce, etc., and the high tariff has
wrung money from you to enrich a
few, and the intolerable taxes upon
what you produce mainly go to sup
port an army of drones, who are the
tools of those who oppress the labor
ing men, and look upon labor as de
grading.
If I am chosen to fill the position
of honor, my whole time shall be de
voted to the protection and de
fence of the people.
A. Churchell.
Clinton Democrat: Hon. T- N
Bradley, one of the best and truest
Democrats ot this district has retired
from the race for Congress
Senator Bradley had not announced
himself as in the race, but his name
having been put forward by many
admiring friends, and not desiring
the honors, he has thought it right
and proper to others who may want
to make the race, to let it be known
that he is not and will not be on the
track. J. VV. Abemathy. a talent
ed young attorney ot Butler, is an
avowed candidate, and is asking for
the endorsement of the Democracy
of this county.
For Presiding Judge of the Coun
ty Court, we announce to-day the
name ot Aaron Hart. Who does
not know Uncle Aaron Hart, the
successful merchant and staunch
Democrat? And we put the ques
tion who can doubt the ability of
Mr. Hart for this very important po
sition? We take the liberty to say
wot one. He is a man of the people,
liked by everybody and his recsrd as
a business man fits him for the office
to which he aspires.
Elsewhere in the Times Mr. J. L.
Ludwick, of Mound township, an
nounces himself for county judge m
the north district. Mr. Ludwick is
one of our oldest and best citizens,
and is fully qualified for the position
of county Tudge. He is a man of
sterling worth in the community
where he has lived, and the people
of the county and the Democratic
party would be honored by his se
lection. Clinton Democrat'. The Sena
torial Convention of this district
will be called at Butler on Tuly 13,
provided the. Bates county commit
teeman makes no objection to the
date. Henry and Cass have agreed
and referred the matter to Bates.
Dr. Pope Yeaman, of Columbia,
is a candidate tor State Superintend
ent of Public Schools. Dr. Yeaman
is regarded as the ablest divine in the
Baptist faith in the State, and 1. a
verv estimable and competent gen
tleman in every particular.
M. A. Fike, present nominee of
the Democracy of Henry county for
Representative, appears not satisfied
with such meagre honors and has
therefore announced himself for
Congress in the Twelfth District.
The Butler school board will meet
on Friday, July 7, 1882, at 10 a. m.
to examine applicants for teachers to
fill vacancies in the . Butler Public
schools. It .will be necessary for
each applicant to be present or their
application will not be acted upon.

D. A. DeArmond as a candidate ior
