THE LOWER HOUSE.
A Nomination fr ON Horeb, and an En-
dorsement Of Mr.. Gaillard.


nounce Mr. J. w. Robinson cam
dldato for q seat in tho next
Legislature. Mr.. Robinson is q
gentleman Of undoubted integrity,
honesty and intelligence.
And, Messrs. Editors, since you
have SO kindly thrown open your
columns for the discussion of the
merits of candidates, we would
say that wo heartily endorse the
past course Of Capt. H. A. Gaillard,
and believe, in recognition Of his
services, it is but proper that he
should be returned to the Legisla-
ture. With such men as Gaillard
and Robinson in the law making
branch Of our government, the
citizens Of old Fairfield may safely
assert that we have at least two
"right men in tho right place"
MANY FRIENDS
Another Communication from Mr.. D
R. Feaster.
Mcssrs. Editors Your CORES
pondent "Littlo River" is a Myth.
He cannot be found in tho South
East corner of Township No. /;
diiiyent search has been made for
him, among the hills and swamps of
the "South East Corner" and he is
non est. 1t also seems that your
correspondent, "Fair Play" is in
swampum up stumpum, non est
comeatibus. The would be wit and
traditionalist Of the Ozark Corner"
is simply an illustration that Josh
Billings was correct, when he cau-
toned those who would become
wits, ''to first examine themselves
closely and see if they wero not
better fitted to become .Phoozs J"
"Bull Street" does not know what
he is talking about, were James r.
Aiken living, he could tell the
public how tho name originated.
He originated the name and "Bull
Streets" Daddy Or Grand Daddy had
nothing whatever to do with it.
Your Gladdon's Grove correspon~
dent "Gunter," must be an Alarmist;
he seems to be fearful that the
"Corn Field Politicians" will if they
arc not careful bring some great
calamity on the country, as one Of
the Politicians above named, 7 beg
to assure "Guntcr" that we have no
such Intentions, that we simply
propose to change Partners for the
next Dance, and if we succeed in
doing SO, we also propose to make
some Radical changes in the L,ws
we have too many Laws thcre is an
old Truism we have been familiar
with since hoyhood that those are
the best governed, who are governed
the least; in ante bellum times, we
had such government. We are not
regretting the past, with that we
now have nothing to do the Pres
ent, tho Future, is what we have to
deal with. We the Democrats, mot
the Corn Field Politicians aro now
in power, have had two sessions of
tho Legislature, and what has been
dono for the relief of us "Corn Field
Politicians ?" Why nothing, simp-
ly nothing we tho Democrats have
the prestige of power and that is
all, simply all. The sessions Of the
Legislature arc quite as long if not
longer than the Radical Legislature;
and the most it has done for the
relief Of us "Corn Field Politicians"
Il thank Counter for the namo it
means something) was to saddle the
whole Radical Debt of the State,
fraudulent and otherwise, upon our
children and grand children to pay
for we can mover pay it ourselves
rs our Legislature has kindly taken
the only sure and speedy means, we
had in our possession, to pay with,
away from lis, and given it to seve-
raj companies, created monopoly;
in the interest of who ? Not us G.
T.. P.s, you may rest assured, but
in that of the Capitalist. Now
Messrs. Editors, in all candor, is, or
was not that, Phosphate Blu, big
thing, is it not IN outrage upon the
rights and Interests of the people /;
