The " old woman seems to have the D"'u'
areI,e Convention on the brain Ihere Is mo-
thing in Our position then, inconsistent win
opr nositiop now. And if the writers oil the
Gazette were not so lamentable ignorant they
vould see il so. That Convention was pas-
tard spawned by this weak impo'eh' oiu
woman. and after bcgetting IT, rearing 'ha'
so,ovos :. CLARKE would be nominated
they hacked Delegation to 90 up and break
nm the Convention without making anomlna-
ton, and did accomplish that end.
The only point OF interestto our readers II
sesms 10 us, is that, in which this array OF IL
tie, claim to advocate the election OF the ne
form ticket, headed by JOSEPH BROOKS we
cannot believe but what the old woman, v In
her imbecility, really thinks she Is Tor the
ticket and doing good work for it. She Is
very touchy IL intimated to that the great
masses ofths Democrats are going to support
Mr.. Brooks and the Reform ticket, and that IL
is possibI. her figures, showing that 1t 10
impos.ible to succeed with him as lead
er, may not be correct. The "old woman "o
high sounding titles, however, insists sh'
goes for the ticket, Joe Brooks" and all Anc
to show how they "go for" the ticket, 1t Ii
only necessary to read the " supplement o
the Gazette" containing Col, NAT. HrLLt

met at Little Rock, on the Nth Of August am
proclaimeS ticket as the result Of their joi'
labors. in which two Of the Gazette attdcls
took part, by which Joseph Brooks was dc
clared the head of the Reform movement AM
recommended to the Democracy for thei
earnest support. Notwithstanding this, abon
the 10th OF September, the Gazette prints an
sends out to its Democratic readers, with
request to "read and hand to their neigh00rs
this fire. band, to say nothing else OF it, ar
raigning Joseph Brooks, for many things tina
he ba. satisfactorily explained to the peop'
in his canvass. one whom they jointly Fitl
the committee in the address to the Dewocra
CIV, recommend for their earnest and undi
vidcd suppart.
What excuse for this act of treachery, doe
this trio Of majors, and Captain thrown II
give? WHY, they were "paid for it," Pai(
for whiting and shining their own candidate
for governor. Yes, Paid for it.' so wa
Judas paid. But what money was it tha
satisfied this unsatisfied old woman?'
We will have the Gazette and its co-adju
tors with The people, only copying the follow
ing from al Editorial in the Lewisburg En-
pire to show how the Radical newspaper
look upon tie Gazette's position.
The Empire says, after referring to tie dis
appointment of the Gazette in not getting
Brooks off tie track:
but now IS revenge. Nat. Hill, who a
one time published and edited the Camder
Democrat, and a man who can see 10 reaSol
why among forty thousand democrats ont
could not I'D found who was honest enough t.
fill the Office of governor, made speech

terrific and scathing review of lr. Brooks
political periidy that has yet been made, Th
Gazette leaning of this, and smating unde
the defeat which Rice had causei, nursed it
wrath to keep it warm until His return t
this place, and at once, so weare Informed
entered into negotiations for tie speech, Will
view to publication, in whicl it seems the.
were successful. The rakingbver which tn
speech of nm gives Brooks, and which tn
Gazette furnishes its readers IS supplement
insures the defeat Of Brooks beyond all ques
tion. and broad grin is beteld on the face o
the Gazette men every tine they visit TIL

the other hand. we feel somewhat delighted
and enjoy the discontinue portrayed on tn
face of Rce--hs very fac seems to acknow
ledge that the Gazette has outwitted him AM
has its revenge. We Understand the brindle
are say ing on the street that the publicatio
of Hills speech was brolght about by repub
lcan money and influesce. All such twad
die is for the purpose Of breaking the force Q
the speech, and there Is no truth in it, and
will appear So to eveW man II he VIII onl
ask himself IL the Gazette is friendly t
Brooks, would it hare published the speec

We repeat the question Of the Empire
Would the Ga@ete, if friendly to BROOK;
have published Col Hills speech, for all tn
money the Mnstiels have got?" We are {
the opinion the answer OF every man will
No.
