'Squire Ritchey is virtually having no opposition in the race for county Judge of the Northern District. The poor, old patent Record tried to say something; tor the Ohio street Republican ticket last week. The surrender of Frank James and the Waterloo in Ohio has caused a consternation in the Radical camp. 'Squire Neptune will sweep every thing before him as clean as the work ot a cyclone on Nov. 7th. Vote for Win. F. Hanks, for Sheriff: there is no better material on the continent. Stand square by Bob Catron lot Treasurer on election day. He al ways stands by the people. Our ticket is for Col.

' THE OPEBUfG BLAST- As will be seen from the Hit 6t speakers and appointments for pub lic meetings published elsewhere in p to-day's Times, the democracy ot the county means to open the cam paign with determination. It is the intention of the Democrat ic Campaign Committee not to let up on the opposition until the polls are closed on election day. The Committee has wisely avoided a long and tedious campaign and will only occupy one week in making the fight. Now we do not want to ask too much ot our Democratic friends in the countv, but if they will pardon us, we sholud like to insist upon every one of them laying aside their work tor at least one or two days and if not days let it be hours and giye politics their whole and individ ual attention. See that the meetings billed for vour point are well advertised, and bring out the old men, the middle aged men, the young men. the boys and what ever you do don't forget the ladies. Democrats the tide is in our favor the Union over, and the increase of local majorities .vill count in the rreat dav to come when the footing m up for a Democratic President is made. So let us begin now and drill ourselves for the coming con flict, Dy making this weeks campaign one of the most enthusiastic and suc cessful ever waged in Bates county. THE THING IN A NUTSHELL- The question of Prohibition like that of African slavery is being car ried by its advocates beyond the bounds of reason and possible suc cess. The system ot human slavery in this country was wrong in principle and it was right that it should have been abolished, but not in the man ner in which it was abolished. Had the Abolitionists kept the question out of politics the Amer ican civil war with its heart-rending details would have been averted, and instead of the devastated fields that even to this distant day mark the camping-ground of the soldiery, there would have been happy homes, wealth and prosperity. The bigotry that characterized the action of the Abolitionist is duplica ted to-day in the conduct of the Prohibitionists. Of New England origin, by na ture Puritan in principle, Prohibi tion first started as an organization, independent of all others. But it soon espoused religion and iomed the j church. Not satisfied there, it se- ! duces the church and unites with the Republican party the fit ally ot every Puntanistic idea that ever sprang from the mischievous brain of Harriet Beecher Stowe and her ilk. The result is plain. The affairs of church and State are becoming mixed, and soon the verv old scratch will be to pay in this country ot ours unless this modern idea ot the church and its isms wanting to usurp the rights ot the State is ef fectually sat down upon hv the peo Pie.

Where Hwbrt. Fyke, Morgan and Britts Will Address the People. SPEAKING A T BTTJLER. Hon. F C. Nesbit, and M. A. Fyke will speak at Butler, Nov. jrd. A special invitation to all to come out and hear the most polished ora tors that grace the soil. The Hon. Chas. II. Morgan, Democratic candidate for Congress in this district, will speak at Papln ville, WEDNESDAY XIGIIT XOV. I St. This appointment is authorized by Mr. Morgan, and he will be there without tail and hopes to meet every citizen in the surrounding countrv. A COESEOTION. Say what they will ak-out the Bates countv Republican, it is lair enough in politics to make the neces sary corrections when it is convinced of its errors. In its last Fridays is sue it says : The following appeared in a re cent issue ot the Republican : The Carthage Rnaner brings tor ward the following interesting scrap ot history concerning C II. Morgon, which we copy ior the information of ex-Conf edei ates : "Fiom the close of the late war to 1870 the present Democratic candid date for congress in this district was the most violent Radical in all south west Missouri. In all kindness we commend the following extracts from his speeches to the careful and prayerful consideration of our ex Confederate democratic friends;" "I will suffer mv right arm to wither before I will ever consent to let a rebel vote." "A Democrat is no better than rebel and a rebel is no bettei than a a horse thief." "Fellow citizens ! Tust watch the road the Democratic party takes, and if you want to go right, go in the opposite direction." ikI would rather walk up to the polls by the side of the greasiest. nastiest nigger that God ever made than by the side of the proudest rebel that ever followed the Confeder ate rag."" Last Wednesday we received a let ter from Mr. Morgon, calling atten tion to the fact that Carthage U not in this congressional district,and there -fore, the article in the Carthage fanner could not have referred to him. We appreciate the truth of his suggestion, and we will not knowingly be a party to any species of misrepresentation, we publish the above facts tor the information of the public and regret exceedingly that the error should have found its way into the columns of the Repub lican. Our explanation is that the devil edited the paper that week, the edi tor being absent. . A plug lawyer, by name Johnny Gilbreath, all the way from Apple ton City, delivered his little speech all nicely arranged with high sound ing adjectives and carefully mould ed periods at the court house Mon day night. He established to a dead certainty the fact that the Reb els tried to kill the Government in 1S61. The war was fought over and over again, ami through the vale of tears that flooded our eyes we imagined that we saw rivers of hu man blood and were sitting in the very midst of a forty acre field of dead mens bones. W'c never want to feel again while this body of ours . . J is alive as we felt that nijrht.

Note Tohnny is. a Radical, i and don't you iorget it. Tom Irish, of Rich Hill Mining Review, is one among the few newspaper men who are able to build a residence costing more than $500. Mr. Irish is just completing in the proud little town of Rich Hill, a residence which when completed will cost between $5,000 and $6,000, The building has ten rooms as j ous, how patriotic it sounds, how t yp modern in style aud finish as the la- j ical ot the brilliant achievements test patterns afford, and there is no j the Democratic party has placed end to the conveniences.

ISt. The Sedalia Disprtch justifies the killing of Slayback, last week by Cockrell of the Post -Dispatch. Bates county needs a representa tive that will do her honor, and per mit us to name the man, Hon. Levi Moler. Yes, the ''Old Guard" means to sweep the field as usual the Prohi bition question to the contrary, not withstanding. Prohibition received a black-eve in Ohio. Its leaders and suppor ters had better never have dragged it into politics. Sim Francisco, the eloquent and gallant young lawyer is developing a wonderful strength for Prosecuting attorney. 'Squire Ritchey is one ot the soundest and most courteous men in the county ; just the kind of a man to make a county judge. The surviving members of Gen. John H. Morgan's famous Confed erate brigade, have organized them selves into an Association at Lexing ton, Ky. Yes, you are right. A vote tor Moler and Britts is a vote for Geo. Vest's return to the United States Senate! Give us a little more just such racket please. Dr. T. H. Britts, will have no su- periors in the State Senate, lie is a gentleman of moral and intellect" ua I attainments, and no man will ever have occasion to regret a vote given him on Nov. Jth Prof. W. E. Coleman, candidate tor state superintendent ot public schools and Dr. John H. Britts, can didate for state senate in this dis trict, both walk with wooden legs, tke effect ot four years service in the Confederate cause. The Sedalia Dispatch in a very sensible article advocates the re-es- tabhshing of th.e duollo system as the only proper remedy to the per- sonal journalism that prevails and is growing so rapiIy in this country. The Greenback nominee for Con gress in the second Kansas district has withdrawn in favor ot the Dem ocratic candidate. Count one more for the Democratic delegation in the next Congress. The Record designates the Dem ocratic party as the "Old Giiaid"' A more proper or pleasing name to Democrats could not be found in the English language. We accept it without further comment.

There should be a Democratic club organ ized immediately in every school dis" trict in the county. Democrats or ganize and on election dav como to the polls with a solid front.
