of Col. Fowler's triumph inspired with

triumph of the cause of Americanism.
We did intend to refer to DIR. Mitchers

arguments require a more extended notice
than we can give them within the limits
of this article, we will pay our respects to
them in our next issue. In the mean

will spare no efforts, and that they viii
work with will and purpose from thi'

secure his success. His election will b'
an honor to Arkansas and to the peopl'
