It camp too lat to bo COUntel in the total of the fiilurcs Since tho republicans ha I full con trol before. St. Louis Republic. Foraker and Sherman are Laving a red Lot tilt for the Ohio seimtoi ship. The legislature seems to be about evenly divided between the two aspirants and both claim the i.oininatiou. It's the tit Ht time John Sherman has ever had to scramble for the oflice and it will be very hu miliating to be beaten by Foraker. Mr. Perkins, the new senator from Kaunas man be a good man but he does not seem to be giving satisfaction, especially with those disappointed fellows who wanted tho place themselves; and several of tlnso fellows left the field with their ncalping knives buckled 1o their belt and longing for a chain c to lift Gov. Humphrey's scalp. Th Legislature of New York, elected the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November last, is Democratic The court of last re sort has said it, and from its fiat there is no appeal. Both parties have been claiming it. The State Court of Appeals decide two of the contested seats in favor of the Dem ocrats last Tuesday. This gives tha Democrats u majority. Judge- James Gibson of Kansas City arrived in the city this morning and will remain at the Laclede ho tel for several days. Tho distin guished jurist has entered the raca for tha democratic nomination for governor iu 181)2, and to a Chronicle reporter he said this morning: "I shall make a thorough canvass of the state, and, if possible, visit every couuty within her borders between now and the time ot the uouvention." St. Louis Chronicle. "The public understands you are opposed to the sub treasury, the two per cent laud loan, free silver and prohibition; and that you are iu f '.vor of national banks, lailroad ex tortions, minimum circulation, gold standard, and monopoly in all its forms except possibly, high pro tective tariff.'' The above is au extract from an article in last week's Union by NY. O. Atkeson, aud is directed at tho edi tor of tho Times. The public is per fectly right in understanding that we are opposed to the sub treasury nd two per ceut land loau schemes, but we are not, neither does the public understand us to be, opposed to the free coinage of silver, nor in favor of the other things he men tions. If Mr. Atkeson wishes to discus issues he should state them fairly and honorably as he knows them to exist and not go off into wild haraugues, aud make extrara gaut assertions which he knows he c.rimot sustain, as he did at the school houses over the county last campaign. The only good things your party platform contains, that ot tariff re form and free coinage of silver, was st )leu bodily from the democratic party, aud all these visionary schemes were added to catch suck ers. Last year was a good sea son for them to bite, but you cau hardly expect to catch the same old sucker with the same hook aud bait. If Mr. Atkeaon persists in taking j ot aud would not be a candidate for the people's money for services as j the nomination aud would not an prosecuting attorney, wbil he is de- tagonize their aspirations by such a voting his tino to airing his polit:-' candiJaoy. oal rievf s, his converts will have to I , ' faitL by tLem refore, .

TEAT EXPERT IFVESTI Q ATIOB County Judges Coaue.ll aud Mil ler hare ordered an instigation of the county offices and appi oprutted money out of the ccuuty treasury to pay for same. In an attempt at jus tification of such a course they in dulge iu a number of whereases and resolutions that would better grace a political platform, than county records. When these gentlemen made the race for county offices they pledged the people that if elected they would investigate the records. They were successful, now let them keep their pledges, :in.l not go to sj ending the people's money iu employing other pal ties to do work fu' whi h they were elected. There is no public I demand for nn expert examination of the records. The.se paiti'.s Lave been in olliee over a yfar and Lave teucLed ddi'entlv to discovtr something wrong, an J thy cm dis cover nothing on which to l ase an investigation m l so fearful ar : they that they will not find something out of which to make political capi tal, that they use the siily subter fuge that "the people demand it and the press demands it, and the wishes of the people and the pi ess arc en titled to a fair and favorable consid eration."' The gieat de niand of the people and the press and that petition of tax-payers', they prate so flippantly of, originated in tho brain of Judge Council and oth er leaders of the union labor paity. Tnev tidk of "precedent set by our pi-edec-ssois,"' when they know, if tht-y will take the ains to invt sti gate and havj the intelligence t" understand, that the investigation ' f the V. T. Smith nc ;ds by Wm. K. Walto'i was don1 at Sir. Walton's own expense and on tin- per cent, plan. Arid xt investigation was or derud until thy county clerk discov ered tno'igh t i convince him that something was wrong. The county court has no authority under the statutes to appropriate money in this manner, and they may themselves be the subjects of invest igation at the bar of u higher court if they persist in wantonly expend ing the people's money for political effect. We want it understood that we are not opposed to an investigation of the county records under demo cratic administrations; in fact we court an examination. But o well convinced are we that everything is all right that we do not want our people to bear the burden of ex pense. We should elect men to oflice who are. competent to perform th duties and not have to hire other men to do their work. The people of Bates county aie hardly prepared to employ a man at $0 to $10 a day to go on a fools er rant. It is no easy matter to defraud a county like Bites. We know what its assessed valuation i, then the rate of ley gives the ameunt cf tax and the delinquencies deducted leaves tho amount of money from taxation. Then fines, licensee, back taxes, etc., is easily computed. A detailed financial statement has been published every year, showing the amount of money recti ved and from what source.and how expended. Now what do these parties expect to find? They hope to uuearth a political bomb and they are likely to ruuonto a boomerausr. Judge E. H. Norton of Platte county, who has been frequently mentioned iu connection with the gubernatorial nomination, has at ljkst declared himself out of the race. Iu a card to the Platte City Land mark the Judge says: "While I am profoundly grateful for the cumplimentary terms you you have seen fit to use iu putting ate forward as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the office of Governor, I cannot occupy that position fr the following reason: I have heretofore said in response to the question 'whether I would be a candidate for the Democratic norm natiou for that place,' propounded to me by two or more cf the distin guished gentlemen who are now j pronounced candidates, that I wae BOYD MAY RE RETEF. The United State Supreme Court Said to Have Decide t Nebraska's Case Washington, D. C, Jan. 1.

Cut. FraaciMn in YrtiTnui,. Yi'e clip the following complimtnt air notice of our fel!ov citizen S- 1'. Francisco, from the Warrensburg J.urnal Democrat. The case of the State vs George P.tvton, on change of venue from j Cass couuty, came up Tuesday. Le j fendant was indicted for the ban,-! l.-ig of a cuuich biuhiiug, August 1, lSST, iu Cass county. The case went to argument be'ore she jury o-i Wednesday morning and was final submitt.-d ut G p. m. the same day Tin- aigumt-ni on the part of the Stat.- . s opened by Mr. liailey of Cass luoty, who was followed by Mr. a:ic;sc of B-ttes county, for tho il. feti-.-. unl again by Mr. Sitl dath i 1 n c stat'1, then Mr. Wallace of Kiasas City for the defense, and was closed by Jarrett of Cass couu ty for the state. The state was ably conducted on both sides, as much so, possibly, as auy rise which Las been tried be fore the criminal court of Johnson coun y for many a day. It. will be inappropriate to speak of th- ability displayed by Bailey, Suddath, Willi ace and Jarrett, bi cause tho age of their experience has put the leputatiou of each of the n on a footing which go s with out saying it in Juhnsou couut.v,but Johnson county people were partic ularly gratified to witness and hear the magnificent ell'oit of our old Johnson e,j;ii,ty bov.S. P. Francisco Sim was 1 cared an 1 educated here. Studied !.iw hire, was admitted to the b it Lei . and as a consequence a young man of his mala up would have a host of friends anxious to know of his success. ile was one of the leading attorneys in the dt fense of this very intricate case. When it came his turn to address the jury 0:1 Wednesday forenoon, the housj was packed with a solicit ous and waiting audience to witness the contest of legal oratory.iu which the Johnson county quondam boy was to take a leading part. Railey led the fight in one of his most eloquent and ingenious efforts. It was a hard speech to follow but Mr. Fmncisco rose with the occa sion aud for three quarters of an hour succeeded in facinating court, jury and audience with a speech, which, for eloquence aud argument, was not surpassed by any speech which either proceeded or followed. It was simply grand in all which pertains to a jury address. The complimentary manner in which Mr. Wallace and other attor neys alluded to the efforts of their younger brother, showed that it was duly appreciated by the bar. As he took his seat at the dinner hour, that audience would have cheered the young orator to the echo, but the well known stern inflexibility of the judge as to order forbade. The jury, being unable to agree, were discharged from further con sideration of the case at the opening of oourt Thursday morning. The jury stood six and six. j The news from the Mexican br- der is that Garza is gaining strength and uow has fully 1.500 men, well armed aud equipped.
