como forth in her strength. Patriotic rs she has
ever been-faithfut as she ever proved herself in
the hour of need, oven she for while permitted
the desiructivs to take possession Of her; but al
her recent elections, when the Wing Flag was
hosted, bearing on its folds the name Of HENRY
Clay, the 6re Of the old flint again emitted the
sparks Of by-gone days and she stands in the eyes
Of the world bright and glorious example for her
sister States. 1ss
Ohio. the young giant of the west, and Old Penn
sylvana, tho keystone of the west. Georgin, the
neighboring State Of the gifted Carolininn has
sweep, Locofocoism from her borders, and is now
pledged for at least 5000 majority for tho Wing
CO ndidate. I-@l a.-t
With such examples before them, will the
Wings Of Arkansas stand idly by, and with fold.
ed arms be passive spectators ofthe struggle going
ont For old independence, we en,phatically an
swcr no; and she hopes and believes her answer
will find like response in the heart of every true
Wing within her borders.
The Wing party contend for a National Bank,
Tariff for revenue sufficient to meet the expens-
es of the Government economically administered,
for the Distribution Bill, and for retrenchment
and reform. Tho necessity for a National Bank
is too obvious to every unparalleled man who has
witnessed the arrangement Of the currency for
the last eight years. and the ruin and distress con-
sequent upon it, to require argument to enforce it..
1t will have q tendency to stop the thieving and
plundering which has been too common in high
Places through the means of local banks, which
have too orton proved mere swindling shops.
We must hayo tariff for revenue, or resort to
direct taxation: can any patriotic citizen fail to
give it the preference?
The Distribution Bill, while it settles a vcxed
and complicated question, gives to Arkansas, in
addition to other liberal donations, five hundred
thousand of land for purposes of internal i'm
provement, and contains prescription law fully
suited to the wants of the enterprisng settur.-
We seek re,renchment by the Topping off Of USE
less offices, and economy by judlcous and prop.
err expenditure of public money.
These are the leading principles Of TIE Wing
party; principles, the maintenance of which, we
deem essential 10 The prosperity and wei-being of
our beloved country. In seeking a leader in the
great contest of 1914, we would deem it almost
an insult to have any other namo suggested than
that of Harry of the west-our first, our last, our
only choice. For moro than a quarter of a centu.
ry has he been the fast friend of the Constitution
and the Laws; the originator of most of the wiso
and patriotic measures which in that timo have
been brought forth, his name is idetifed with the
glory of his country. Open and frank there is
neither concealment nor disguise about him; his
life is on evory page of his coun,rys history, and
has ever been heard cheering on his countrymen
and pointing them 10 tho true path Of virtue and
glory. Such is our leader, and if we properly or
ganize and select from our party. men Of ability,
who will give their whole hearts to the cause, OK
planning to, and enforcing upon the people, the
wisdom Of The Wing policy, we may safely calcu-
late to see Arkansas ranged along side Tennessee,
Kentucky, Georgia, and the balance Of the Wing
States, in the contest of 1884, To effect so dist
radio object and to insure harmony and con-
cert of action,
Be il Rcsolred, That we recommend to the
Wings of Arkansas, the holding of Convention
at Little Rock, OH tho second Monday Of January,
1874; and while returning our acknowledgment
for tho compliment paid US in mention of Bates
vile rs suitable point, and bearing our tes,mo-
ny to the hospitality of the citizens of Scarcy, we
can not but consider Little Rock the best place,
from its accessibility to al parts Of the South,
Feast, and West.
