EXECUTIVE OFFICE,l
a LITTLE Rock, Oct. %.

DEAR SIR: have received many letters,
and some verbal messages, asking informa-
tion as to the officers to be voted for In this
state at the election on the Sd of next month.
take occasion to say, there are no state Of
flcers to be elected then, nor are there. any
members of the legislature to be elected at
this time. Members of congress are to be
elected then, and no other officers, except
certain municipal officers in incorporated
towns and cities, as provided by existing
laws. and the judges are not to receive and
count any votes given for any other than
candidates of this character.

$4,000
Total vote,

1t does not require Mr.. Hynes to have
q majority Of all the votes cast. but q
larger number than the other highest can
didate. You see Hynes is elected. Re
verse it and give Thomson the 1000 and
you are no better olr--for Hynes has
the same plurality and is elected.
The Democratic party cannot and will
not abandon its nominec--it never does
and il Mr.. Thomason's friends still
persist in the suicidal course Of throwing
"a half vote for Hynes, they elect man
to Congress who goes pledge and endors'
ed to reconstruction Of the State which
will put us back into the hands of Clay
ton 4 Co. A Democrat and every well.
wisher Of the State should not hesitate a
,moment how to act. bnt should throw his
vote and his influence for his State and
with his party and support it's nominee,
without regard to the man.
Read the following from the Fayette-
willie Democrat, strong anti Baxter pa
per, and disinterested spectator so far
as being in another district) and see how
he is looked upon by his his old admir-
ers:..
In the Third District thcre Is large Dem
ocratic majority, but an effort Is being made
by u bolting democrat to get sufficient demo-
cratic votes to ELkcr THE RADICAL llYNEs.
Therefore every friend of Arkansas In the
Third District should go to the polls and vote
for the regular nominee Of the party. 1t Is
the only safe course To remain away Is to
assist In the election Of Hyncs. THOMA-
son DOES not EXPECT TO BE ELECT
ED.
From present indications VIC fear this three
cornercd tight will result In the election of
Hynes, which we would greatly deplore, be-
cause he has seen proper to step into the
ranks OF Clayton's vampires and ::array him
self against our people. Wiltshire has taken
his stand with the people, and if elected We
believe he will battle in their interest. We
believe Gen. Thomson to be true demo-
crat and firm friend of the people; and we
would be delighted to see him honored with
any position he might ask In the gift OF the
people Of Arkansas but we believe that his
candidacy now. can only result in his defeat,
and probably, disastrous to his people. We
regret that under existing circumstances, he
saw fit to become candidate, because by so
doing he greatly enhances Hynes' chances to
slip In and perhaps secure his election. 1t Is
true that this Is not our individual fight, yet
we feel a deep interest In the election In eve-
ry district, because 1t is our prayer to see the
s.ssira delegation. sent to Congress from Ar
kansas, composed or men opposed to Clay
tOnism and reconstructionisn.

The ALDEN FRUIT EvAPoRAToR

The ALDEN FRUIT EvAPoRAToR.
We learn from one OF our CaiifOr-
MIA exchanges, that in one of the
Counties in tat State, there are 10
Alden Fruit Dryers, and every one
doing a prosperous business. But
given two conditions, and it is very GER
tain there is no investment more GER
tain of profitable return tan this.
Those conditions are, plenty OF ma
terial, and reasonable economy in
management.
If the fruit growers in this vicinity
had knowledge of the matter, there
certainly would be no difficulty in
raising the small amount Of stock nee
essary to erect one apparatus, and az
ter the first was in operation all therest
would come naturally, as their prof.
it would be demonstrated. There is
one statement however that ought to
convince any one of the value of the
invention that is, that notwithstand-
ing the Hundreds Of establishments
that are in operation, all their prod
net was disposed Of more than two
months before green fruit came into
market. The market was so bare,
that not even samples could be pro
cured to show to those contemplating
investment.
Parties in y. Y. will contract to take
at a remunerative price, Tor cash, ev
cry pound of the product of the es
tablishment contemplated here, anC
would Ike to make the same contrac
for double or treble the amount tia
can be produced. We hope to Sc,
this enterprise succeed.
