Chairman. P.&L.U.(I0UVEMTI0ir. The State Convention of the Far xners & Laborers' Union of Missouri i7as held at Sedalia last week. It -was composed principally of intelli igent and representative farmers of the state who showed by their acts that they were interested more in the welfare of the farming classes and the preservation of that organ ization for the benefit of that class, . than in assisting aspiring politicians un perverting the order for their ben efit Of course there were some -demagogues in the convention. It 'would be hard to pick bo large a Sbody of men without finding that sthat creature had slipped in una wares, and in this case they tried Siad to drag the order into politics, but the sound, sober judgment of 'the better element prevailed and the order ras saved from so humiliating a fate. U. S. Hall, state lecturer, was chosen its president, over General ; riormon J. Column by a vote of 85 toJ4. This in spite of the fact, and we say it with deep humiliaty, that General Colman played the part of -a demagogue by expressing the sen . aliment that he was willing to re f mounce his political principles for this office. Considering the fact jthat he has been honored far above 3hie natural deserts by a democratic administration it was, to say the -least, unbecoming in that gentleman. JThen the Journal of Agriculture, nlh Phil Chew as editor, was re- JMadorsed as the state organ, in spite -n the fact that the third party f el Mows had gone to the convention csweaiang vengeance upon his devot ed liead. The Union Labor party : of this county, under the cloak of F. & I. U., had resoluted and plotted lis every conceivable manner to de 'tapTtate Phil Chew and his Journal, and Mr. HaU, when Tinting this oonnty as state lecturer had been notified by Capt Doaohoe that the delegates from this county would ,-ge to the state convention to defeat 4um for president of the order. It tmnBt be humiliating to these little tfellows to reflect upon their own lit tleness, and a just and deserved re. v Puketo theF. &L.U.inthiscountv ' lor allowing itself to be captured j this Union Labor anarchist ele- onent w e iau to understand how tlje better element of the F. & L. U. can support a paper that was started as tan F. & L. U. organ, which persist- entlj abuses and maligns the state officers of that order and the official paper of the state for the sole reason that they will not renounce their political principles and consent to a third party movement- That is just what the Union of this city has been doing for months and the state con vention endorses the very men it so bitterly denounces. It is also inconceivable to us why the F. & L. U., a non-political or ganization, should always choose the most ultra and radical union labor eaders to represent them abroad. Why don't they choosoa representa tive from each political party, or choose those not offensive to either? The cause is apparent without wait ing for an answer. The order in this county has been captured by the Union Labor fellows, and as a consequence the best men in the F. & L. U. order, those who are not ready to renounce their political principles, are fast leaving it in the hands of these political schemers. The order in this county is in a bad shape and President Hall should give it his individual attention at an early date. That this is true it is only necessary to add further, that while the President of the F. & L. TJ. or der of this county, Pierce Hackett, should be using his best endeavors to keep politics out of the order, he was chairman of the Union Labor convention and is now stumping the county in the interest of that party. MAJOE J-fl. BRADLEY- Major Bradley, after urgent solic itations of his many friends through out the district, consented to accept the nomination for State Senator, tendered him by the Harrisonville convention. This convention recosr nized his pre-eminent qualifications and fitness for the office when it maae his nomination unanimous as soon as Bates county presented his name. Major Bradley is a farmer of large ezperience; possessed of a clean pri vate and public record; has had much experience in legislative matters, having represented this county once in the lower house and the district once in tne senate. He is a man of sound judgment, a deep thinker and forcible and logical speaker. He has the interests of the farming classes directly at heart and will faithfully see that they are protect ed. And last but not least, no bet ter democrat, or one who has done more in an honorable way in this county to perpetuate that party ever drew the breath of life than Maj Biadley. His nomination was t wise and judicious measure, and he will carry the full party strength and many, not of his political com plexion, will vote for him who know him and love him for his worth. Denies the Charge. Clintos, Mo., Aug. 18th, 1890. J. D. Allen, Esq. Dear Sib Tour favor en closing a short editorial in the Rec ord of Aug. 16th, 1890, in which he stated that the Democratic Central Committee assessed me $2,000 for the campaign this year, and that I had refused to pay one-fourth of the assessment has been received. The whole charge is untrue. The Committee did not assess me $2,000 and I did not refuse to pay one fourth or any part of it I do not know where Mr. Austin obtained his information, but he has either been misled, or has drawn upon his im agination for the facts, the latter, however, I am unwilling to believe, because while we have always dif fered politically, he has always shown me great courtesy and kind ness. Verv truly yours. J. B. Gaxtt. Old man Filley again seems to be the high-cock a lorum of the repub lican party in Missouri. He has as pirations as a United States senator and think he would maka & imnd substitute for Vest "With a view to securing this coveted office, he pro poses that the republican sacrifice very candidate in an effort to se cure the legislature. Chauncey I. will be at the republican convention, Pertle Springs, Monday, and cive his instructions privately to the par ty leaders and openly avow to the nominees that they will undoubtedly be elected. -Warrensburg Journal- Democrat The reunion of ex-confederate sol- cuers lor tne state will be held at jaevaaa, 10-aay and to-morrow. HELD UP AND ROBBED. A Missouri Pacific Pas3Hii;rer Train Held up at Otterville. We clip the following particulars of the train robberryjwhich occurred near Otterville Saturday night, from Sunday morning's Sedalia Bazoo: Train No. 3, due here at 3:15 this morning, as indicated in the Bazoo's special from Otterville, was held up a short distance east of Otterville at 2:15, just as the train was climb ing the grade. Four men jumped on the engine and shouted to Engi- neer iranic uraver ana fireman Tourcille, "Hold up your hands." The trainmen obeyed the order to bring the train to a stop. The rob bers then marched Grayer and Tourcillie to the express car, in charge of Messenger S. It. Avery, where the robbers were joined by three others, all of whom wore masks. The leader told the engi neer to tell the messenger to open the door, and not to give an alarm or he would blow his head off. At Grayer's signal Avery opened the door and was quickly covered with guns. The robbers then entered the ex- press car ana toot trom tne saie, which was open, and from a table all of the money packages in sight. Upon the arrival of the train in Sedalia the messenger refused to give any information or estimate how much was taken. But a passen ger said he heard the messenger say the company had lost more than $30,000. The James boys held up a train at the same place a few years ago. A posse in charge of Delong and Constable Ramsey left this city at 4 o'clock for Otterville. Speaker Reed thinks the southern republicans do not have their share of iEfluc-uc:- iu the councils of the nation. He will be interested io learn that a few days ago J. W. Jackson, a negro, who was vice-pres- dent of the recent republican state convention of Arkansas, was charg ed with stealing from a neighbot's corn crib, and convicted of the of fense. Later the same charge was again brought against him, and he was indicted for grand larceny, though on a change of venue he suc cessfully pleaded that he had al ready been punished for the same crime. The secretary of the con vention, J. M. Daggett a white man, who was formerly postmaster at Marianna, was arrested for stealing public funds in his charge, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Jefferson City Tribune. Will Be Gains Everywhere. The simple explanation of the in creased democratic majorities is that the whole south, white and black republican and democratic, of north ern or southern antecedents, is hear tily disgusted with the mad machi nations of the present congress. So, we believe, is the whole country, and the same phenomena will be observ ed in the north at the first opportu nity. Boston Globe. The Alliance President's Views. Mr. Hickman, who stands at the head of the alliance said that the farmers were organized thoroughly in 113 out of 114 counties in the state. "The alliance," he said, "is composed of representatives of all the parties and for that reason I do not care to discuss politics as its president, I can say, though, that the democratic platform is in thor ough accord with the demarids of the alliance. There is no danger of any falling out between the democ racy on that question." It is a melancholy and sicrnific&nt 1 act mat tne union soldiers are dy w a - ing now about as fast as they died aunng tne war. Tne death-roll of the Grand Army of the Reoublic last year was 5,475 out of a member- snip of 464,462. This will otow larger in each succeeding year, of course, and the time is not very far distant when the great majority of the veterans will be in their graves. Globe-Democrat Senator Plumb's courage increases as his vision over the tariff field widens. Yesterday he told the sen ators to their faces that "manufac turers had got control of the senate.1 buch audacity is inspiring. K. C. otar. It is claimed that the increase of population in Chicago during the past decade has amounted to a frac tion over 118 per cent. The increase would probably have been greater had the surveyor's chain held out. Chicago's marvelous growth has been due to her facility of annexing territory. If she had lacked a few thousand of being the second city in the land she was prepar-ed to take in two more counties. Sada lia Bazoo. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
