Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, January 3.-The Coun
ty Convention held to-day by the Re
form Brooks party, to select delegate
to the State Convention Of tomorrow
was pretty much Of a failure. ONLY
tWenty-fcur persons were in attendance
counting spectators and reporters.
In the Senatorial race Bowen is ahead
he has bought of Hadley; ten thou
sand dollars and the Governorship o.
Colorado is named as the price, and
Hadley is to leg for Bowen to beat
Dorsey.
This is a strong continuation
strong, in fact, Is to Insure success
unless Dorsey can bring to his support
the entire Conservative strength. OF
which there is little hope. Mcdonald
has gone out of sight, and is not spoken
Of in connection with the position.
The last rail on the Cairo and Fulton
road was laid yesterday. The first reg
ular train for Louis viii be dispatched
from here on the tenth.
Senator Rice has just returned from
Washington, and is urging the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature who
have been returned IS elected bv the
Secretary Of State, to form a conbina-
ton with those who claim to have been
elected, but who have not been so ra-
n 81 nm
tllreI and recognize Brooks as the legally
elected Governor. Rice does not believe
that Congress would recognize a State
Government thus controlled. but this
movement would compel the National
Government to interfere, and thus force
the state Though a process Of recon- |
structiOn.
fIhe Gazette Of tomorrow viii take
strong grounds against such a move /
ment, and urges all Southern Democrats /
70 have nothing to do with it,. but. on /
the contrary, TO go before the courts for
such redress as they may demand. The
advice Of the Gazette viii be followed |
The race for Speaker Of the HoUse
VIII be between MilIen, Of Ouachita
county, and Warwick, Of Pulaski. Mil
len IS Dorsey man. and Warwick will
10 his best for Bowen.
Two more bills Of complaint will be
lied before the United States Circuit
Judge COldwell tomorrow by the a.
Orney's Of James II. Berry, candidate
N the Reform Ticket, for Auditor. and
Thomas II. Smith, candidate on the
anne ticket, for Superintendent Of Prb-
ic Instruction, both of whom claim 70
AVE been elected. The bills are of the l1
anne nature as that filed by Judge Har-
isOn, and allege frauds in the making
p Of the returns, whereby they are
,ept out Of the positions to which thew
Fere elected.
