Letter signed A.M. Dockery, Kansas City, Missouri, to my dear Byars. “I confess I do not quite understand your frequent references to my public record. Cockrell and I occupy exactly the same position. He is commended. I am condemned. I know Cockrell’s views because I have heard him twice – but we are getting away from the war. Silver is at the grave & I adhere to the opinion heretofore expressed that Mo. on the 8th of next month will record a safe democratic majority and return Cockrell to the Senate.”, 1898 Oct 9
