Mr.. Brooks personal organ. The Fort Smith
Herald is soured because Brooks did not get
in, and its managers thereby failed to procure
public printing and break down the Gazette
The lndepcndent-wcll we believe it il :
better supporter OF Baxter than Brooks. The
Camden Tribune is conducted by those who
were disappointed, and are consequently
seurcd at the turn matters have taken. The
Monticellonian and l.aborcr are conducted
by two Dromos. who are hardly responsible
for what they do or say. The Fayetteville
Democras-uur old friend--is controlled by
enc who has an Unsuitable desire for office
and has been disappointed. He belongs tC
another generation. The Hot Springs Courier
Is controlled by one who, because he failed
to procure from the executive certain appoint
mcnts. Is therefore soured and disappointed
The Statesman is controlled by the late adiu-
tant general, who, because lie could not fur
Baxter, resigned. Thi, comprises the list o
