1t is conceded on the part of the Democ-

stand that a young lawyer Of Ozark has
promised the vote of Franklin to Col.
Locke Of Ihis County, who in return is to
tickle the young lawyer with the vote OF
Crawford for Prosecuting Attorney.
Dr. Carter, or any other good man, the
Democracy Of Franklin county may Sc.
lect, will receive the votes of majority
OF this County.
If Frankha county declines to present
a name for the Senate, Crawford will in
duty bound do so, in opposition to The

EE- Washington county, at their Mass
Meeting on the Sd of September, declared
their first choice for H. +. Thomson
for Governor, and "then for the ablest,
most Trustworthy and suitable gentleman
whose name may be presented for that
Office, who endorses the platform and
principles of the Democratic Conserva-

And
Resolred That we pledge ourselves to
support the nominees Of the Little Rock
Democratic convention with fervency and
zeal
This was all that was asked Of Wilcox
and Locke, at the Mass Meeting in this
County--to endorse the action of the
State Convention. BY so doing, we
could have united on County ticket.
But these men say no--will not support
Baxter nominated.
The true Democrats of Crawford coun
ty stand pledged to support the nominee
if it is Baxter or any other man. And
the few disorganizing office seekers Of
this County, can't shirk the issue. Thorn

County against the nominees Of the State
