LITTLE Rock, Arkansas, October 20
Your Austin correspondent seems to for
get to state why the
CHICAGO "CULLKD GAL"
received the highest Certificate at the re-
cont meeting OF the teachers institute OF
this county. Cur school affairs, like eve
rything else here, Is run in the interest
of the ring around the S~tatehouse. In or
der to have themselves look well with the
colored folks, they gave her the csrtih-
cate: in order to secure the doubling fell
! lows of the eolored roost, as a bid for their
votes at the ensuing city election, some
thing had to be done to pacify the "man
and brother" and secure their votes for
the Doctor and his associates, Hart
man and Fitchy, and prevent any further
stampede of The wooIly-heads from their
party to The Brooks party; but even with
This stroke of policy, three-fourths of the

giving this poor oolored girl the irst-olass
certificate over her better qualified white
associates, like everything else that our
! miserable cuss of an ex-governor has of
late attempted to do to appesse the negro
and get them to their side and way of
thinking, has failed in toto; and unless
a conservative ticket is run at the forth
coming city election, the great expOunder
of radicslism, uncle Joe Brooks and his
man CattersOn, will have Il all their own
way. Yesterdays Gazstte seems to think
that the conservative party viii not have
a distinct ticket in the field al this cleo
ton. Either wing OF the Radical party
will steal US out blind if let alone;
therefore it is the duty of all
conservatives at all times to vote the con-
servative ticket, il one is in the field; if
not, not to vote at all. Happily, however,
we will nave a independent conserva-
tive ticket before the people for their sup
port at this election, to-wit: DR.. p. D.
