Springfield Business Men Write a Letter to the Postmaster General, Asking for Better Mail Facilities From This City to Memphis- Only Four or Five New Men Required to Give the Service. For some time past some of our leading, influential, wide awake business men have been quietly at work considering how they could better our mail facilities to Memphis and other importdut southern cities where they do a lucrative business. Yesterday the matter assumed definite shape, as the following letter, sent off last night br Postmaster Pipkin, will show: SPRINGFIELD, March 81, 88. HoN. DON M.

DICKENSON, Postmaster General, Washington, D. C. DEAR the undersigned business men call of Springfield, respectfully the attention of the Office Department to the ciency of the mail facilities at present existing between this city and Memphis, New Orleans, Birmingham and other points beyond Memphis and intermedinte points between this city and Memphis, on the line of the Katgas City, Springfield and Memphis Railway. A large part of our trade is with towns east and south of here, on the line of this rond and the country tributary it. A mail car leaves Kansas City at A.

which handles mail at all point between that city and this place, but of arrival here it is side-tracked and the train proceeds to Memphis without it. Another train leaves Kansas City at 9 D. m. and has mail car to Memphis, passing here about 5 a. m.

At present mail taken to the postoffice here at 6 p. m. does not leave until 5 11. next morning, reaching Memphis about 6 p. whereas, it the train from Kansas City, arriving here at 6:30 p.

instead of side-tracking the mail car, would take it to Memphis, serving some of the larger towns on the line, mail from this place would reach Memphis about 10 a. m. and be delivered in time to answer by return train, leaving there at 0:30 p. and arriving here at 8 a. m.

next morning, enabling us to get an answer to letter addressed to parties at Memphis 38 to 40 hours after mailing; whereas, under the present arrangement, a letter mail. ed at this place on the evening of the 10th does not leave until 5 a. 111. the 11th, arriving at Memphis at 6 p. 111., but cannot be delivered next morning to be answered by return mail, which leaves there at 10 a.

m. the 12th, and there being no mail car with the train leaving there at 6 p. answer cannot leave there before the morning of the 13th, arriving here at 8 a. m. the 14th.

We are informed by our postmaster that to give this service would not require more than four or five new men, that being the number ordinarily required on lines of this length, about 280 miles. We earnestly request that you give this matter careful consideration. Probate Court. J. W.

MCMANUS VS. FLINT. Bloody Battle at St. Claire for the State Championship. McManus Wins After Fighting Seventeen Rounds It Was No Walk Away, But Vigorously Contested, Until Flint Was Put to Sleep.

For several days local sports have anxiously awaited the announcement of a fight arranged to take place somewhere in Missouri between Kansas City, and Flint, of St. Louis, for the state championship. Last night a message was received by the South Side sports that the battle would be fought at Monett this morning. Accordingly a large number of them proceeded to that point, and ere now vainly trying to locate the battlefield, while Jim Dameron, Skip Jenkins, Dock Elston And other North Side admirers of the manly art. are on their way to this city from the scene of the mill, which took place near St.

Claire. The fight was for $1,000 a side, in 24-foot ring, Marquis of Queensbury rules. A special train carried the St. Louis party to the field. arriving shortly after daylight, Springtield.

and Kansas City parties having arrived before. THE FIGHT. At exactly 6 o'clock the men entered the ring and shook hands, the word was given and in another instant the mill was on. Both men were in good condition at 152 pounds, and fought like the gladiators of old. The first round was contested vigorously until McManus landed a powerful jolt on Flint's jaw that closed the round and painted him a beautiful red.

The second and third rounds went decidedly in favor of McManus, but no heavy slugging was done. Flint, by guarding skillfully and keeping his distance, managed to get off pretty well. From the fourth to the tenth rounds the fight was fierce and bloody, both men landing telling blows on his oppobent. Up to the tenth round McManus had the best of it, both, however, being severely punished. NO WALKFrom the tenth to the 16th round Flint came up in good shape and got in some stunners and at the close of the sixteenth round stood a good show to win the battle.

it Wits then that his friends bet heavy on him, and the contest money was raised to $000 in the way of a purse. When the seventeenth and last round was called both contestants came up surprisingly strong, and mauled away at each other unmero fully. During the first two thirds of this round Flint did his best work, and it seemed that McManus had been beaten, when suddenly he rallied and landed such a volley of thuds against the neck and face of his opponent that put him to sleep and won the mill. Both men were bloody and horribly beaten up when the referee decided in favor of McManus and the crowd dispersed, much to the discomtiture of Finit backers and friends. This result, according to prize ring tactics, gives the state championepip to MeManus.

Editor of Tue LEADER. I notice that Dr. E. A. Roberts, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, has issued a call for a meeting of that committee at the Board Trade building, on next Saturday 21st, for the purpose of selecting time for holding a convention to delegates to the Sedalia Convention.

May 17th. I would suggest that, Mr. John O'Day, of St. Louis, director of the Democratic party of this section, has probably decided who the delegation to the Sedalia Convention from county shall be composed of, it spocitically understood that the county convention endorse his choice. There are some few sore-heads and moss backs in the Democratic party of Greene county who do not seem to appreciate the fact that the party would amount nothing without the superintending control of Mr.

O' Day, and who ille always prating about "purity in polities" and "corruption in parties," and who are stumbling blocks in the way Democratic success. If these fellows are given an opportunity they may endeavor to kick ont of the traces and kill which lays the golden egg. Theretore, 1 think it best to find out Mr. dosire in the matter delegates and endorse his selection. There are many reasons why this 80.

In the first place, you see, it is line thing to be able to get to conventions free of charge--and in palace cars, too- which is a customary courtesy exMr. O'Day to Democratic delegations, and sometimes, I am told, also to Republican delegations. It we should listen to the Democratic ers, and moss-backs -who do not seem to understand pollties and what necessary to success--we should, in all probability, antagonize Mr. O' Day and elect a set of delegates who would have to pay their own way. leaving the fellows who do the whooping up and hard work at the primaries out in the cold.

This would be h-1. It may true, as some assert, that it costs Mr. 0 Day nothing to carry our delegations to conventions, but that, on the other hand, really gets paid by the mailroad company for his ingenuity in extending these little courtesies. What of that? So long as ho can do it, don't benefit the Democratic party The moss- backs may sit bit their hind legs and howl and that's about all they can do, -yet when Mr. OD Day comes around.

or semis Mr. Ed and Miss Adiel out with orders, these same mossbacks and party tellows shinney up to the polls and east their ballots for Mr. O' Day's candiditte. Why, look at the result of our hat election. Does any save person nose that we count have elected ONLY ticket, as we did, without the direct and personal supervision of Mr.

Day Some say that he only took the interest did in that election because hie knited the Demoeratic ticket a year ago last fall. Well, isn't that in his favor? he can control the election--if he owns enough votes through the influence given him as chairman of the Democratic party of the state--hadn't better stand in with him altogether and act under his direction strictly? Why, look at the result of our last city election. One year ago we were beatbecause of the absence of Mr. O' Day, but this year we went in with alving colors, and all bee enuso Mr. 0 Day came round polls and smiled his extensive smile and shook hands with some and frowned and looked black at others.

One black and malicious republican told me that Mr. O' Day voted 11 nigger twice on that day. The onery republican sought to make capital out of this tale by relating it to some of our mossback varity of the ballot democrats. But they merely winked, laughed and passed if off' as something rich of course. tell you that a man who can control elections as Mr.

O' Day does--no mathow he does it--is not to be dispisI don't care what his antecedents are. Out on your antecedents! Down with your party and corruption cant! Success is what we want. Why, look! There is the Hon. Ed. C.

O' Day, brother of Mr. John, and, although lives in St. Louis, according to doenmentary evidence, and wherein he is described as residing in the of St. Louis and State of Missouri" -and although some folks say he only knows what Mr. John tells him (a malicious libel) he comes here and backed the prestige of his brother's name.

calla a convention, elects the delegates thereof, nominates a city ticket, elects himself chairman of the committee, and after the manner his brother assists in the election of city ticket. Talk about ralying on do-nothing-but-howl mosa-back Democrats while there is such men Hons. John and Ed O' Day. The idea! Never! Place ourselves openly and anreservedly at his disposal and await the outcome in blissful expectation that our political rights will be looked after. This has been our status in effect for years.

Why be mealy-mouthed about Our state majority has been reduced from 50.000 to 500. Why? Bocause Marmaduke was a rebel brigndier? No. Because other parts of the state have not submitted to the absolute control of Mr. O' Day as we have. NICK WACKETT.
