HON. JESSE TURNER.

The gentleman who heads this article
is prominently talked Of as suitable per
son to send to the Constitutional Con
vention. A petition, asking him to al.
low his name to 60 before the County
Convention as a candidate, is now in cir,
culation. A better or more suitable man
could not be selected in the County for
so responsible a position. Identified
with the people of Arkansas from its
earliest settlement. he knows their every
want. An irreproachable, public and
private, character, and sound, able law
yer, he combines the essential qualities
needed to represent faithfully our people
in Constitutional Convention, and will
add credit to the County that sends him,
as well as to the State at large.
Jesse Turner is in no sense Of the term,
an office seeker, and is sjust the man need
cd in council at this time to guard the
rights of the people, and we hope the
Convention, one week from Saturday,
will pronounce unanimously for him,

COUNTY CONVENTION.

1t will be noticed by the call, in our paper
of the Chairman of the County Committee
that a Convention of Delegates, representing
the Democratic Conservative party of the
County. will be held at the Court House in
Van Buren. on Saturday. June G.h, for the
purpose of selecting suitable person to rep
resnt this county in the State Constitutional
Convention, to be held at Little Rock on the
30th of June.
We earnestly urge full attendance from
every Township. Let meetings be called at
once, and the very best men selected as Dele
gates be sent up to the County Convention.
There should be bu. one mind among the
people-to select the very best man for the
position. No man has a claim upon the nom
nation and the personal ambition of no one
should have any weight in making the selec-
ton.

Our Senator.

Hon b. j. Brown, the Senator from
this the Sth Senatorial District, is deserv.
ing of more than ordinary credit for his
unceasing fidelity to the interests Of his
constituents. Prompt and untring in
his efforts to correct and rcctily the many
outrages of the Radical party, he has
placed hims foremost in the roll OF
Senators at the Capitol. Bold and fear.
less, he has not been afraid to strike the
corrupt Clayton dynasty at every point.
The people of Crawford are proud of the
record made by her Senator and will not
soon forget his ceaselcss efforts to re-
store the ruined State Of Arkansas TO her
former standing.

Then and N ow.

We lind in the Fort Smith Independent Of
the 30th, the following:
Elisha Baxter has issued proc lamation
calling upon the members of the Legislature
to convene on the llth of May next. When
Baxter was the acting governor, he was petit
toned by the people to call the Legislature
together to relieve the people in regard to the
taxes but this he refused to do. Bnt now he
is deposed and out of the State House, and
calls for the Legislature to help him out of
his troubles. The wants of the people are one
thing and the demands of Baxter quite
another.
Old man Wheeler, after heming and haw-
ing" over the situation for ten days after the
meeting of the Legislature, slips on to Little
Rock just before the adjournment. after
the Constitutional Convention Bill had passed,
and puts in an appearance with the following
apology for not promptly responding to the
wishes Of the people fora Constitutional Con-
vcntion:
Mr.. SPEAKER: As have been deprived of
the privilege Of casting my vote for the bill
providing for constitutional convention. for
causes over which had no control, was un-
able to reach the capital in time to cast my
vote, and as was elected on Il pledge TO vote
for it, request that my full acquesence to
the support of that measure be spread upon
the journals OF the house.
Respectable JNo. F. WHEELER,
OF Sebastian.

Hon. Gran. Wilcox.

Some of the friends of this gentleman
have a petition in circulation, asking that
he allow bis name to be used as candi-
date for the Convention at the next elec
tion. Under other circumstances, it
would give us great pleasure to support
the gentleman for this, or any other po
sition. but we do regret that he should
allow his name tc 90 before the people
Of Crawford at this time. A young man
with bright future before him, he should
not let it be clouded with the frui,less ef
forts Of few so.called friends.
We hope Mr.. Wilcox will, after mature
reflection, refuse to allow his name to be
used in this connection, but will give his
influence for the unanimous nomination
Of the Hon. Jesse Turner.

Such Impudence.

The Little Rock Repubkcdn of Friday.
the central organ of Mr.. Brooks, calls
upon all those In sympathy with Mr..
Brooks, to rally to the standard of" The
Conservative Reform Republican Party"
The Republican, We opinc, viii gull no
one with such bate. The man who at.
taches himself to any reform movement
inaugurated by the mouth piece of Pow
ell Clayton, will be swamped beyond any
redemption. We did hope that the Con
servative Brooks men we've willing to ac.
cept the present situation of affairs and
let the Convention settle all the old ques-
tiens in controversy. But if any are de-
termined, as we see some are, that the is
sue shall be the one just decided in favor
ofGov. Baxter, :" so be it, we are will
ing to make the fight and go to the
people on those issues.
This is the Republicans bait. and was
there ever such impudence:
The cry of the people is: I" Down with
the minstrel ring and the Gazette ring"
One is as odious as the other The cen
seryative reform republican party Of the
State have now d golden opportunity. |
Let them at once seize and improve it to
the redemption. salvation and everlasting
interest of all the people of the State,
Let bygones be bygones. Let all now
unite who favor the essential and vital
principles of honesty, economy and f.
deity of administration, the eXtrpa,ion
of rings, the clearing of the Augcan s'a'
bles of fraud and corruption, anl the
opening out Of a new era for the State
of enterprise, energy, thrift, internal i'm
provement and all the arts and sciences
Of peace. This mission can he promoted
and fulfilled by the cooperation of the
reform republican party. 1t can be real
lied by no other party organization in
the State. See its elements of power
1t embraces the old republican party now
welded together to the solidity of iron,
1t combines with this grand nucleus the
powerful progressive leaders and masses
OF the old conservative reform party.
An immediate organization of these ire.
sistible materials should be entered upon
and undertaken at once. Let the mag
ical note Of appeal sound forth. and the
rally that will follow will encourage Tie
hearts and spirits of all doubtcrs,

ton Of the 2lst inst. requesting me to permit
the use ofmy name as candidate for Delegate
from Crawford County to the Constitutional
Convention. which is to assemble at Little
Rock on the nth of July next, is received.
When approached on this subject few days
ago, stated that | had no desire to be can
didate; that had no doubt others could fill
tho bill better than could but stated also,
that II it could be ascertained to be the gem
eral wish Of the voters Of Crawford County,
would yield to an expression of such de-
sire, and become candidate.
But understanding that many voters desire
County Convention to determine upon the
proper person to be voted for delegate, most
chcerfully acquiesce in this proposition and
wiz unhestatngly abide by the decision of
fairly constituted County Convention.
Like you am deeply impressed with the
importance of the Constitutional Convention,
and of the responsibilities Of its individual
members Much that has teen done will have
to be undonc; and yet we cannot overlook
the fact that within the last twelve years
great changes have been wrought in the frame
work of society. and these changes cannot be
ignored in ordainng fundamental laws for

should, therefore, be approached carefully
