From Darkest Missouri.

SOME SOUND IDEAS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION. From a personal Tetter from oar former young foreman, Geo. Healey, now occupying a responsible position on .the Secla.i i, Mo., Gazette, we extract the following in reference to political matters. Mr. Healey says: The Rei’urlican reaches mereg-ul-uly, and 1 predict from the present appearance Of thugs in Jasper that next Tu sday’a election will result as most previous ones have in electing a complete republican ticket. Jasper county has teen true to the party that labors for American prosperity, when other [counties swung in line with democracy and its followings, and enjoys the distinction of being one out of a few counties that were not deceived by democratic false promises, and its people can congratulate themselves that when other counties turned against the party that bad ably administered the county’s affairs, old Jasper didn’t flmelirbuV “poked” it in straight for the Republicans. Before leaving Rensselaer, my political ideas were not so positive as now, but each day I stay in Missouri makes me feel the necessity of taking a stand against the party that has passed bills and ruined industries, upon which the happiness and prosperity of millions of laborers, mechanics, manufacturers, merchants and men in every walk of life were depending. Iu Missouri, I found early after taking up my residence here, that to be honest and to pursue hoaest politics, I must be a republican. We have more corrupt democratic politicians and we are suffering from their influence m both state and county, but the people are getting educated on political points and if Missouri does not answer the call of the party and send up some unprecedented majorities and some good republican congnssmen, I miss my guess.

The honest people of Missouri and further west, do not ] ki the present administration and the opinions of the people in Colorado and the western countiy, of the party now in power, I aptly displayed on the canvass of a returning mover’s wagon from there It read like this;

It was til’s way. They employed an old Scduhan now holding a railroad job in T dian territory to come to Sedali i snl contract with about fifty negroes to go to work grading a strip of railroad, furnishing them trar.i-por'ation from ho#. On Thursday night the utt-sus-ptcliDg darkies (who a.e sufferin'. tike 'the whit< s, with lots of unoccnpiaii time) wire loaded into a car and taken to the territory, from which a telegram was received bust Saturday night, stating that there w.ns nothing there for them to do and that they had been refused Iranpostation back home. This was a democratic campaign move, they knowing that not one half the darkies can get back here in time to vote at Tuesday’s election. This Ins been practiced not only inSedilia, but in other parts of the state. With regards to yoursdf and long life to my McKinley comrades, I am Yours Truly, George 11. Hkauey.

Nearly every family has a supply of old garments or goods, which can be used to advantage in such times, and to look almost like new by coloring over with Magic Dyes.
