Vote every time for John A. Lefter

'Squire Neptune's victory over
the opposition will be as complete
and routing as that in Ohio was.
'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

The surrender of Frank James
and the Waterloo in Ohio has caused
a consternation in the Radical camp.
'Squire Neptune will sweep every

work ot a cyclone on Nov. 7th.
Vote for Win. F. Hanks, for

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

Republicans in such a manner as to !
make it appear extremely odious.
Mr. Stone is the right kind ot a man

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKIHO.
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. Our
Pre physical condition is inc.ipa
h,e.ot endriS so much patriotisn
lotism
and oritory all at one time without
any intermission. Its iust too awful
sad to hear Tnlmwr tell Knm
I
terriOiC reoels. Johnny is proud
of this world and everything in it,
including himself, and if no mishap
j strikes his cross ways he' 1 spread over
i both continents in due course ef
time.. 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

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.
