The estimated vote in the Ala bama state convention which meets to-day, gives Johnston, silver candi date for governor, 356; Clark, gold standard, 154 It is estimated the country has another billion congress on it's hands. The republicans general get these in good shape when allow ed to pull the purse string. Through Judge John W. Corcoran, chairman of the demoeratio state central committee, of Massachusetts, ex-governor William W. Russell has announced his candidacy for presi dent. The democrats of Kansas City and Jackson county ought to get togeth er. As the matter now stands there are two committees and a bitter per sonal warfare of leaders as to which faction shall control. The city papers say that specula tion as toMaffit s successor as chair man of the democratic state central committee points either to H. W. Salmon of Clinton, or Geo. W. Allen of St. Louis. The resignation of Mr. Maffitt is in the hands of Secre tary Zevely. The Times course of the Kansas City in gracefully accertin? the decision of the Sedalia convention is w . O certainly very commendable and de serves the approval and best wishes of every loyal democrat in the state. The Times is a great paper and its editor. Wiley O. Ccx.is a democrat who abides by the deci sion and will of the party. BLAND THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE It was no surprise to the people of the United States what the Mis souri democratic state convention, after adopting the 6ilver platform it diJ, should indorse Mr. Bland fcr president, for -he is the logical can didate ou that issue. For twenty years ou the floor of congress he has ably, honestly and courageously ad vocated the rehabilitation of silver, and when the oause of the white metal looked the gloomiest, and others, who are it's ablest champions now, were avoiding it. Silver Dick Bland was agitating it. in season and out of season, and to his persist ent efforts is largely due the great tidal wave which is sweeping every thing ia it's path in it's onward rush to the Chicaco convention. While the stamp of genius is not branded upon Mr. Bland's brow, what is better is an honest, con scientious, courageous, God-fearing man, with ability and learning. Mr. Bland's bittereBt opposition in the democratic party concede to him honesty of purpose and able leader ship in this cause. The republican press over the county have had nothing but praise of his splendid character, and his courageous fight for silvtr. Bland is the logic of the situation if the 1G to 1 democrats carry the Chicago convention. leadih q Missouri papers . Printer's Ink, published by Geo. P.

Maffitt called Bell a "turn coat." It was just after Bell had finished a free silver speech in which he bad made strictures on Maffitt. There was no twaddle in the finan cial plank adopted at the Sedalia convention and the fact that Maffitt was not sent as a delegate from this state removes all doubt and quibble as to the character ef the men select edto represent this state at Chicago The supreme court Tuesday over ruled the motion for rehearing of the appeal of the Taylor brothers from the Carroll county circuit court and unless Gov.

BLAND IOR PRESIDENT. The following resolution was of fered by Governor Stone and adopt ed by the convention: "Whereas, The restoration of free bimetallic coinage as it existed in the United States prior to the so- called demonetization act of 1873 is to be the leading issue in the forth coming national election; and, "NY hereas, an honored citizens of this State is among the foremost ad vocates of bimetallism, not only in the tnited States, but in the world his name being familiarly associ ated with silver coinage in every civ ilized nation upon the globe; and, "Whereas, he ia a man of large public experience, familiar with all the phases of national affairs, and a gentleman whose character for integ rity in all the relations of life, makes him the peer of any living man; therefore be it "Resolved, That the Democracy cf Missouri takes pride in presenting to the National convention at Chi cago the name of Richard Parks Bland a name known throughout the world for nomination to the office of President of the United States; and the delegates from iuio oiaie 10 saia convention are instructed to use every honorable means to promote his nomination. THE PLATrOEM. We, your Committee on Resolu- tiODs,beg leave to submit the follow ing resolutions: We, the representatives ef the Democratic party of Missouri, in State Convention assembled, do hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the time honored principles of the Dem oeratic party as formulated by Jef ferson and exemplified by Madison. Jackson and other great and illus triaus men, and we believe that the interests of the people demand that these principles should be applied to the conduct of the Federal Gov ernment and express our conviction that the prosperity of the people and the perpetuity of representative gov ernment depends upon their continu ed supremacy; declare in fayor of equal rights to all and special privi leges to none, local self government, BLAND Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish lefore proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed, 't here is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, bnt simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup ?f Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value jrood health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia I lg Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the eniovment of good health. and the s'stem is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative. one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most larerelv used and gives most general satisfaction. the highest degree of personal lib erty consistent with public good.and strict construction of the Federal constitution,and condemn the use of Federal troops in the States by the .federal Government for the sup pression of demestic riot, no call be ing made for such troops by the res ularly constituted State authority, ana are unalterably opposed to government by injunction by the Federal courts; that we favor the imposition of an income tax, where by the wealth of the country may be made to bear its just proportion of tne public burden. We denounce aa unamencan and undemocratic the system of taxation on consumption only advocated by the Republican party. We declare it to be a funda mental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal Government has no constitutional power to im pose and collect tariff duties, except ior ine purpose or revenue, and de mand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the neees sities of the Government when hon- eatlj and economically administered. WTe further hold that the para mount issue now before the people or the United States relates to the monetary system to be adopted bv this country, and upon that issue we declare that the Federal Constitu tion names silver and gold, together, as tne money metals of the United States. The first coinage law pass ed by Congress under the Conetitu tion made the silver dollar the unit of value and amitted gold to free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver aoiiar nnit. From the bsginning of the Gov ernment, following a policy formu lated by Thomas Jefferson and firm, ly established by Jackson, the Dem ocratic party of bimetallism, favor ing the free coinage of both eilyer and gold at the national mints, and opposed to farming out to banking corporations the Government's sov ereign power of issuing and control ing the money of the people. The act of 1873, demonetizing silver, was surreptitiously passed, without the approval or knowledge of the Ameri can people, and from the time when the effects of this act in fastninCT upon this country the single eold standard were understood, the Dem cratic party has consistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong b righted. Tae demonetization of silver m suited in steady appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the price of commodities produced by the people, a heavy increase in the bur den of all dsbts, public and private, me ennenment of the money lend ing class, paralysis of industry and impoverisment of the peoole and un exampled distress in all gold stand ard countries. Experience has shown that while under the single gold standard there may be an occasional revival of business activity, accom panied by enhanced advances of a limited number of commoditie3.such revival is due to artificial and " tem porary causes, and cannot perman ently alleviate the sufferings due to falling of prices troughs about by the appreciation of the gold and an inadequate supply of primary, or redemption; money. Duty to" the people requires that the party of the people continue the battle for bime tallism until its efforts are crowned with success. Therefore, be it Resolved. That we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary, or rdemp tion, money at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waitLag for tb action or approval of any other Government.
