THE TR
BY LON HOLDING.

oh q morn lii the dreaTy winter
came Worn and weary printer,
With his bundle on splinter
Ger his back;
1faVelstained he was, and needy,
And his appetite was greedy
For a smack"
For the printing office steering
Till within the door appearing,
Where he bowed as one revering,
When he spoke,
Saying, In voice as solemn
As a gratis Buchu column,
81 am broker
In your city I'm stranger,
Dusty seedy as Granger
For slumber3d i'll the Manager
OF a barn :
desire small donation
And some easy transportation
For my corn.
Boat tried to work my passage,
Moving freight and rough expressage- =
Living on bologna sausage,
Dry and poor
But they found L was printer
And they hustled me instanter
To the shore
Then / sadly recolected
Days when printers were respected
For their skill Now I'm elected
Fore and aft,
Just because some have by drinking
Set the steamboat men to sinking
ALL the craft.
Thus do sober workmen suffer
BY the vices Of the oafer,
Till indeed whene er go for
Work / shrink
Lest another's imposition
Throws on me foul suspicion
That drink.
Deeply does it wound and grieye me
When man will not believe me,
But, dear sir, if you viii give me
Fifty cents
l will try by its proper using
To show you I'm above abusing
Confidence"
BY his dolefu1 conversation
Reused he our cominiSeration,
And we made the small donation
Which he sunk;
But while going out to dinner
We observed that hardened sinner
Beaslly drunk.
Thus do sober workmen suffer
By the vices of the loafer
Basest coin will often go for
Purest stamp,
Kindest ones who most have trusted.
Are most thoroughly disguised
With the tramp.

The Kind of Witnesses.

Mr.. Hynes in his speech, Saturday, in
troduced the affidavit of John Williams,
the Registrar of Election in Franklin
county in 1872, charging W. W. Wiltshire
with attempting to influencing him to
strike from the poll books Of that coun-
ty large number of names, and that he
did so. Mr.. Wiltshire refutes the charge
out of Williams own mouth, by reading
from this same fellows testimony in the
contested election case Of Gunter VS..
Yynes, which is as follows:
@. State whether or not Registration
in Franklin County, Ark, was fairly con
Quoted, previous to the 9th day Of No.
vember, 1872?
A. 1t was conducted fairly.
@. State whether or not those who
were erased from the registration books
were so erased upon good showing, and
to the full satisfaction of the board2
A. think so sir.
@. State whether or not, from your
personal knowledge most of the persons
who were stricken from the registration
books as above named, were disfranchs
ed by reason Of their acts during the
said late war?
A. A majority Of those who were SO
stricken from the registration books were
to my personal knowledge, by reason of
their acts during the said war.
So much for the villain Williams.

he (T' could not support him and with
the expectation of getting the Radical
vote he would run against Baxter
himself But all the wind was taken
out of his sail by Baxter declining
and the nomination of Garland, and it is
said, although he professcd to be the
"happiest man in the State, F" he was
screly disappointed, and looked crest
fallen.
He returned to Van Buren and ap-
peared morose and was evidenly very un-
happy. But e;e the elapsc Of two weeks
the Congressional nominating conven
ton met at Clarksville, and after several
days session nominated Hon. w. w. Will
shire for Congress in this the Third dis
trict Thomson was dissatisfied with
the selection. The convention made
mistake-the people didn't want Wiltshire
but they wanted Thomson. His name
was net mentioned in the convention So
he reasoned with himself. A few sore.
head, yclept Democrats, maicoutents, in
one or two counties told him he was the
man and then he rushed on the track,
and thus bolts the Democratic nomina
ton, and thereby endangers the success
OF the party. He cannot be elected and
may help elect Hynes, the Radical candi
date, who is in favor of Reconstructing
the State and turning it over to Clayton
again, and whose election will strength
en- Claytons backbone IN Congress, and
which will be used as an evidence that She
people desire Reconstruction and the
restoration OF our State government to
Clayton. 1t does seem that any man
with as much brains as an oyster ought
to be able to see that Thomason stands
no show Of success and the danger of
his candidaturc resulting in the election
of Hynes, when the evils above mention
ed will certainly follow.
Now then, does Thomson deserve to
be called good or eren any Kind Of
Democrat! We think not, ana have no
doubt but that the Democrats of this
District will let him severely alone, and
elect Wiltshire by large majority.
