Look Out !

From what we can learn of Grady s
speech at Tapps Spring, on the 18th,
every man who dares go against him,
democrat or not, is to catch " particular
fits Remember, democrats. you are
not to say anything of Mr.. Grady's past
record: that is to be sealed book; shut
your eyes against his action in the elec-
ton frauds OF 1872; his attempt to make
the people pay the county and state
tax in currency, by demanding that
each man make change; the fact he
collected the school-tax in currency and
paid it in state scrip; the fact that he
held the office of Sheriff near four years
and was never elected by the people to
the place. Nc, no don't say word
shut your eyes, and vote for him, or you
are to have your funeral preached from
every stump. This republican perpe-
traitor Of election frauds has come into
the democratic camp to drire men to his
support. Lea the ball go on. Q.

THE REGULARS!
Meeting Of the Republican State Con
vent,on called BY the Regular State
Central COMMITTEES.
Failure to Harmonizs with the New Deal
ers, and the Nomination Of another
Ticket

From Little Rock Gazette Aug. 10th
The republican state convention which
assembled yesterday presented quite n
contrast to that of July 9th. The one
of yesterday was composed principally
of the "ins' ofthe Arkansas republicans
and combined in its members federal Off
cials all the way from United States sen
ator to petty clerks in the revenue busi-
ness. There were but few colored men
in the convention ofyesterday. while that
of the 9th was composed almost entire
ly of colored voters and hard. working
men. While the convention ofyesterday
consisted mostly of otlice-holders and ex.
office holders, hardly showing up a doz
en- working men in the whole erowd-be.
ang, in tact, a convention of consumers
end not producers-the members of the
convention of the 9th ult. were nearly
dill workers and bread winners, who had
gone the voting while their leaders had
Iained the profits and done the stealing
an contrasting the two conventions, we
might say that that of the 9th of July
was composed of men who earned their
living by the sweat Of their brows, while
the members Of yesterdays convention
lived by the perspration Of their checks
(brass mounted).
The meeting was called to order by
Senator Dorsey. who had left his seat in
the United States senate to look after
the deliberations of that minority known
as the republicans of this state. Mr..
Dorsey moved that r, A. Dawson, of JET.
ferson county, be declared temporary
chairman, which was adopted.
Mr.. Dawson, who is an intelligent and
cultivated coorcd man, and former
member of the Arkansas state senate,
took the chair and made few remarks
to the convention, substantially as fol.
lows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: |

conferred upon me, and greet you as n

at heart the necessity of harmony in the

strong, organized and undivided front to
the democrats. want harmony. but do
not wish to make concessions to sore.

the action of this convention will be such
that it will force into retiracy such par.

thorizcd by the republicans of the state.
