Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts who gained some reputation two years ago by getting elected as u Liberal Republican member of congress from tine Fifth District, proposes to acquire little more hotorlety this fall by running as a regular Republican candidate and getting very badly beaten.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CON
 MENTION.

avoid the duty which we conceive to now devolve upon us in thls matter, but the Democratic Press of Arkansas has duty to per form, and We don't propose to attempt to avoid or shirk our part ot it.
 There has been wrong perpe- trated within the Democratic par ty, and to correct it is the duty, however unpleasant it may be, of the Democratic press of the State,
 The honor and we'll belng Of the party is paramount to the personal interests of any individual mem Der or members of the party, and it must be scrupulously guarded and maintained, Whenever the personal ambition of any member of the party interferes with the general welfare of the party, let the antidote be applied,
 Such are the thoughts forced upon us by the developments made last week at the Congress- ional Convention, and we have tried to look at the matter fairly and impartially, Having done so we have arrived at certain con clusions, and what we now say we say without desire to wound any body's feelings, or do injustice to anybody's motives. We have al- so tiied to view it from stand point of right, laying aside our own personal choice between the aspiring candidates.
 Wishing our remarks to be so taken, we have no hesitation in saying that we shall be compelled to hold the Stewart Newton fac tion responsible for the split in the Convention, and to justify the action and recognize as valid the proceedings of the Craven's Con vention. We exculpate the Cray ems delegates from the charge of bolting, because they were denied fair representation for their con stituency and would have been untrue to the voters whom they represented had they gone into an organizatio on on an unjust ba- sis of representation. We excul- pate them because there was in reality no Congressional Conven- tion organized at the time of their declination to accept the represen- tation proposed by the Stewart Newton faction. We recognize the nominee made by the State house Convention because upon a just basis of representation he would have received the nomina- tion by handsome majority. The balloting which was done in the Stewart Newton Convention after the split shows clearly that Cravens was in truth the choice of a plurality of the votes, even on the basis adopted by that faction, for Newton got 9, Stewart 6, and the Craven's delegates who had withdrawn represented Il votes, 10 of which were for Cravens and l for Stewart Under all the circumstances of the ease, we feel that we shall be compelled to place Jordan E. Cravens' name at our mast head as one of Arkansas candidates for representative in Congress. We are not, however, to be understood as taking a stand against an honorable compromise for the good ofthc party. On the contrary we favor such a measure, but until such a satisfactory com promise is effected we shall let Col. Cravens' name stand as the nominee from the Third District.
