THE BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON
NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS
GrGnhsm Vailed FaH 10 the WaW By a
Boy Is Years OHt
SPADRA, Sept. &c, lS72.

SPADRA, Sept. &c, 1872,
Mr.. EpIroR:-
A short time before the 25th inst. notice,
by posters, was given that on that day, there
would be public speaking at our County Site
by Gen. Allen of Illinois, and some other of.
fetal of high rank from New York, advocat-
ing Grants election, and late Chief Justice
Wiltshire, Minstrel candidate for Congress in
this District. The day came, the imported
speakers with Judge W. arrived one hour be-
fore the time for speaking. 1t was then given
out that division Of time would be given our
party. Col. Cravens only being present they
thought the odds fthrse to one would enable
them to demolish the reform party in John
son.
General Allen took the stand, got off rather
badly for a man of his age and opportunities,
even had be been an orator from the dark,
benightcd State of Arkansas, and being a
fresh importation from the christian land OF
Illinois, mado it sound more llat to US, and |
am confident fell far short in measure with
his own party-about sixty OF whom were
present.
Next came our boy, Lee Furger>ion, Col
traNcns law student, Is years 0iu, v Nhom can
be appropriately called +" the ram in the old
wonan's cupboard for such he was to
Gen Allen. such scattering ofdelph and tiN-
lures YOU never saw before Lee LETT nothing
remaining in Aliens cup board OF argument,
but the book containing his speech v hich
Brother Grant made foI him 10 talk from.
When Lee closed such wars ofapplause haN Z
not witnessed this campaign
Then came the other official of high rank,
Mr. Edgarton from New York, and Brother
Grant had given him a speech book too out
OF which he read heap OF what Mr.. Greeley
said, The most OF it according with our views
and way of thinking. He closed with some
Nat anecdotes, such a> died bUmen," 4" the
bull story and many Others equally as old
and stale.
Then Col. Cravens came in with his skin
ming style and completely skined the two
dead carcusses, Allen and Edgarton, and for
getting himself had the Judge halt skinned
when |. as a friend Of the Judge, told the
Colonel that the Judge was not dead, not hay
ing yet said his piece.
Now came Judge W., who must say comes
nearer lilling the bill for a real geLtleman
than any Minstrel | have heard in the State,
and if it was not for the company he keeps |
would like to vote for the Judge il | had a
vote. am only 10 years old and Of course
cant register and vote, while | am in favor
of reform and opposed to rings, rascality, car
pct-baggers, etc, etc SNORT.

The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The
presidential election will not take place
in all the States on the same day, as
seems to be generally imagined. 1t will
begin in Louisiana on the ith Of Novem
bcr All the other States except Texas
will follow with their votes on the ath,
and Texas will close up the business with
a four DAYS election from the 9th to the
Slh, inclusive. Louisiana is required to
vote on the 1th--one day before the
either States--by special act Of Con
grcss passed at the last session. why
this enactment was passed it is haad to
conjecture. unless for the reason that the
Administration party want to Use their
expected victory in Louisiana to assist
them in other States The four days
voting in Texas is simply device

sg Our friends will bear witness that we
have commenced no controversy with any
democratic paper in the State, or paper allied
with democrats, in the present canvass. In
all cases we have simply resented assaults
made upon us. The war upon Us Isl fixed
up thing, and if those engaged in it wish to
keep it up they can hayr their I'LL. Il. "a
=ettc.
Our friends, too, will bear witness that tie
last controversy We had with the Gazette,
grew out of our correcting 4 statement, or
misstatcment, Of a correspondent of that pa
per. referring to the sentiments Of the people
Of this part Of the State Instead Of taking
our very mild correction in good spirit, as it
would have done il it really desired harmony
in the party, it treated it as bold inpeItincnce
and as \ matter Of none Of our business And
if the Gazette refers 20 the PRLss, in the con-
troyerSy we have had with it. AS a" hXed-up
thing to make war upon it, it is not true in
any particular We challenge the Gazette
to produce any evidence, so faras we are con-
ccrned in our paper or out of it, that u war
upon it was a fixed-up thing" There is not
a particle Of ground for this "eld womans >
complaining. When she cut loose from the
noorngs Of the Democratic Convention, she
got at sea and was at the mercy Of the sharks
and shysters, that SO besct unprotected "old
women that drift about the State House at
Little Rock for crumbs and comfort.
II the gazette choose, (ii possible through
their efforts, that the Clayton dynasty shall
rule for four years longer in Arkansas, rather
than their put up schemes shall be defeated,
let il be 50.
