BUTLER, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 15.1884.
NO 40 ;H
CLEVELAND REPUBLICANS
in Address to the GoTernor by His
Friends of the Opposite Party.
The following address to Gov,
leveland was adopted at a meeting
r:
-f the Cleveland Republicans of
Ijuffalo :
Gov. Cleveland You are amonj;
Ufor the first time since your nomi-
ition for the high office of presi
dent of the united states. The
Jlereland Republicans of the city of
lour home desire to extend to you a
Isrmal and hearty welcome.
I Buffalo has many times shown its
Confidence in and esteem for you.
ifwice when republicans have de
ijed to rebuke dishonesty in their
ffn party they have found in you
s-e efficient instrument. You have
If
feen our mayor and are now our
avernor. In every position in
ihich you have been placed you
ave shown yourself worthy of the
jfnst reposed in you. No honest
Iian ot any party ever had reason to
fegret giving you his support.
I Causes similar to those which
firced you Into the mayor's chair
f -gainst your will and made you gov
ernor of the empire state without
faving sought the office, now call
tr your election to the highest of
fice in the nation. The issue ot this
llampaign which overshadows all
gtlier issues is integrity. "Without
tWsty wisdom is mere craft and
fvozenage," We want more than
aiything else in the chair of Wash
!'ton and Lincoln a fearless, mde-
(jendent, honest man.
As Republicans we Say with re
fet that we believe your chief com
petitor for the presidential office is
t such a man. The record of his
Ejffkial lite has caused many, even
ishose who support him, to condemn
ell-tale letters, showing how he used
"lis official position to make money
1st himself, have received maiy
inendlv explanations, but none ot
iem have succeeded in explaining
may his dishonor. The taint of
.orruption. clings to them and should
ind we believe must prove an effect-
mi bar to his election to the office
' has so long and persistently
nought.
We deem it especially fortunate
iat in turning from a candidate
fhom we cannot trust, we find an
opposing candidate in eyery way
rorthy of confidence. We prefer
in honest democrat to a dishonest
republican. We cannot understand
iat seutineent or that superstition
taich puts party before honor and
xfore country. We cannot com
prehend that logic which says that
see man may be a corrupt congress
man and yet be trusted to be a mod
el president, and in the same breath
ells us that another man, though he
say be a model governor, cannot be
listed in the presidency. In the
ice ot such false and contemptible
loctrine we say : You have been
Sinful over the interests placed in
four charge ; we will strive to en-
arge the field of your responsibili
ties and usefulness.
We have watched your official ca
reer and have studied your lite. We
iel that we know you well. We
believe that integrity is the basis ot
Four character, that faithfulness to
trust is your first rule of life. We
believe that, like Clay, you had rath
er be right than be president if choice
fcust be made, and that, like Lin
coln, you will be firm in the right as
od gives you to see the right- We
therefore tender you our endorse
ment and support, and bid you wel
come as an honored guest, a presi
dential candidate, a model governor
tat, greater than all, an Honest man.

! Columbus, O., October r. Dud
ley, the republican corruptionist, is
following the same plan here as in
Indiana. lie is buying votes direct
ana insists on knowing what he is
buying. Ilis beadnuarters are in
voiumuus out he keeps so much m
me dark: that he is seldom seen. The j personal magnetism that is constant
state committee has two ofrces, one I ly attracting to him new element ,A
fronting on Third street and the oth- support. lie is a growing candi
er on Fourth street. The Third ' date. .Slander andmisreoresenta-
street office is
a pv.ohz one where !
the committee does its legitimate
business. The Fourth street office
is where Dudley and his men do
their deviltry. They aim first to get
a man in each precinct in the state
in their service, with who they con
tract for delivering to the republi
cans ot three or four democratic
votes. They do not take any chance
but insist in knowing the names and
addresses of every vote thus bought
If they get three, or even two votes
in each district m which wanted,
and would otherwise be democratic,
it makes a big tctal in the state, for
every vote so char ged counts as two.
In case they cannot get democrats to
vote the republican ticket they buv
them to stay at home on election day
and not vote at ali. Their fund ap
pears to be simply unlimited, and
they are paying all sorts ot prices lor
votes. Republicans concede that it
the democrats carry Ohio Blaine is
beaten beyond 11 hope, and hence
the managers in this state have carte
blanche
TO DRAW FOR FL'XDS.
The prices of votes so far as heard
from range all the way from $10 to
$50. It is very difficult to get this
sort ot evidence nCe the time a
couple of weeks ago, when the dem
ocrats produced a letter from the
rcpublic&K central committee rooms
to a man offering hi in $50 fo- three
votes, still we keep pretty well post
ed on what they are doing. Said a
prominent democrat to-day, the
vote of the state at Garfield's elec
tion was 724,000. If we have in
creased in anything near the same
proportion as we did prior to that
June it will be at least 775,000. I
think the vote last year at the state
election was about 719,000. The
increase has been much greater in
democratic districts thin in the
western reserve, 011 w hich the repub
licans rely for their main support.
Taking these facts into consideration
you will see that on n square party
pull we could win in a canter. The
result, therefore, depends rather
upon the buying power ot the re
publican committee than on any
other consideration, and I don't think
they can possibly buy enough to
win.
In the Hocking valley the miners
hitherto voted with the republicans
usually, but the strike and the inci
dent desolation have disgusted all ot
them and driven most of them out.
I don't think those who remain will
permit new comers who haye been
colonized fair mining wages to vote,
as they know them and have no love
for them. The valley will give us
an increased democratic mai'onty.
Knowing full well that Hendricks
cannot be defeated at the polls, the
tates. Republican or somebody or
something else are trying to kill him.
First the train which he was on in
Illinois was wrecked, and he was
hurled down a heavy embankment,
but miraculously escaped with onlv
a tew bruises, while many were se
vert ly injured. Then a couple ot
davs since his train run into a hand
car, but Hendricks again escaped.
There is no use trvmg to kiil the
. . ,
rnd oul statesman: he will live to !
be inaugurated vice-president on
4th of -jext March. Ex.
Blaine s;t vs he w ants every vote

ifid he trv so haul to keep them back

Cleveland and Blaine.
The democratic party made no
mistake in the .nomination of Grover
Cleveland. Every day furnishes ad-1
ditional evidence that he is the ri'nt j
j man foi the time; that both in char-1
j acter anU career he 15 i candidate of j
j remarkable strength and possesses a
tion have
"dike been foiled in
at
tar temping to assail him, and he is
stronger to-day m New York and
throughout the Union than at the
time of his nomination. He is one
of those men who naturally make
friend and win respect. Quiet,
dignified and self-possessed, with a
clear, comprehensive grasp of pub
lic subjects and a terse, forcible ut
terance, lie is the verry opposite ot
the flippant and fluent Blaine. His
official career is absolutely unas
sailable. Two months of campaign
talk and journalistic squibbing have
failed to impeach a single ac: of his
public life, and in his own great
state he retains the respect and con
fidence ut ail classes of society. In
deed the history of ot:r national
politics affords few examples ot such
an impregnable record of a .national
candidate against whom it was so
difficult even for personal enemies to
find grounds for attack. I:i various
positions of trust he has always
shown himselt the same faithful,
honorable, courageous, able; and he
stands before the American people
to-day a conspicuous and influential
example of those characteristics in
official life which are needed and
prized most. The contrast between
him and his opponent helps to de
velop the strength and symmetry of
his personality. Blaine's official
life is marred by suspicious circum
stances by money ill gotten, by
misuse ot official opportunities, by
disreputable associations, by insin
cerity and partisanship. Cleveland's
past is free from all these things.
V hat fortune he has was openly
and laboriously earned. His official
acts were always dictated by pure
and honorable motives. Ilis sup
porters and triends have always
been among the best classes of so
ciety, and candor and straightfor-
wardness have been and are the
distinguishing features of his life.

Chicago, Oct. 10, 18S4. )
To the people of the United States:
In view of the misery and crime
resulting trom alcoholism and of the
guilt fastened upon the people, by
governments, municipal, state and
national, bv permitting and even
licensing the traffic in poisonous
drinks, the executive committee of
the prohibition party call upon the
people of this countrv to observe
Wednesday. October 29, as a day of
fasting, humiliation and confession,
and in view of the many all over the
land are aroused and realize the en
ormity of the liquor crime and are
willing to be at cost and pains to put
it away, we call upon all christian
believers to unite m prayer to Al
mighty God that His aid may be
given to a measure which will result
in the sneedv putting away of this
I guilt and the suppression of the traf-
t ! fic m all alcoholic drinks.

The man who votes for Nick rord

! er had self-respect enough to resent
a spit in the face. The man who
will support such a murderer of the

of citizenship among a lot ot canni-

The republican electors chosen at
the
SEDALIA CONVENTION
were reinstated, and fusion with the
greenbackers repudiated. The last
reolution of the platform is as fol
lows :
With charity for all and malice
toward none, and firm in the faith
of a successful future for the repub
lican party in Missouri, we present
a state ticket composed of distin
guished, honorable and capable
men for the suffrag-es of those re
publicans who refuse to follow the
recreant fusion leaders down into
the dark valley of humiliation,
where ignominous defeat awaits
them.
Narrow Escape of an Editor. J

igreed to pay for those trousers.

'Then regard me as one of the

'In that case you will be placed in

The editor seemed absorbed in
thought. Finally he heaved a great
sigh, and murium ing: 'I wouldn't

pulled out a large roll of bank notes
and picked out a five-dollar bill,
handed it over to the enemy, and
thus prevented a stigma being placed
upon his reputation. Texas Sitt
