Democrats to the Front.

We commend the following, from the
Little Rock Gazette, of Thursday, to the
Democracy of Crawford
The campaign in Arkansas is drawing
to close, and the day OF election will
soon be here. The enemy with whom
we have to contend, is a crafty one, and
will leave no effort unused to breed strife
and confusion within the ranks of our
party, which is the party of the people.
1t is, therefore, the solemn duty OF every
Democrat in the State to act with prompt
ness i'll the premises, that the complete
success OF the Democratic ticket may be
secured to the everlasting obliteration of
every opposition to homo rule and the
peoples rights.
Lot Democrats be faithful in the dis
charge of duty, and success will as GER
tainly perch itself upon our standard as
the sun is to make its diurnal course
across the heavens on the morrow.

| Little Rock Democrat Kentucky has
thrown open her doors TO the refugees
from the plague stricken districts. Lit
tie Rock turns her back on them, and
will not even give them shelter for
night.
The genuine noblcness of this act, on
the part Of Louisville and grand old
Kentucky, presents striking contrast
to the action of Little Rock and other
towns in our State. That old State
throws wide-open her doors, and invites
the terror stricken, heeing multitudes 10
tarry within her borders. Little Rock,
and other points, cry out Z" Unclean !.
Unclcan !" and refuse them refuge in the
time of their need What q solid thanks
giving and gratitude-prlyor will go up
from the fever-smitten district for this
place of refuge. 1t would have been
bottcr for Little Rock to have shown
nobler spirit, and higher order of gen
erosity--tc have been more human and
less SciIlSn. we W0NucF IL the ClllcS Ill
our State, that have said to the refugees
g thus far shalt thou come and no fur
ther," have ever looked at the reverse
side Of the picture II they have con-
sidered the matter from the opposite
side. For instance, the yellow-fcver ap-
pears at Little Rock. All points along
the line of road quarantines to the wes-
tern terminus. All trains going out of
Little Rock, in any and all directions are
stopped. There is no possibility of get.
ting away from the infected city. No
one from Little Rock could secure
nights lodging. Would not a wall Of
disgust go up from the Little Rock pris-
oners, because Of such inhuman treat
ment But that is just what they are
doing toward those asking temporary
refuge. "Do unto others as you would
others should do unto you,' seems TO
occupy no place in their present mode OF
action. We owe duty to suffering hu-
manty which should be performed even
at the peril of our own endangering.

O. Day, notify Gen. q. A. Meyer that |
would cease work on the Northwest Ar
kansas Railroad, Saturday, the 18th inst.

progressing very finely with his sub
scription, and that they would raise 1t IN
a short time. II your people had raised
their portion, the work would go on, and
there would be thirty miles of graded
line and right of way secured That
would be getting thirty miles Of graded
line for n very small amount of money,
and, think, it would be the means of
securing the completion of the road to

Since the above was in type, we are
informed that reference is made above,
to Joseph w. MatloclS, Deputy Of
Sheriff Winfrey. We learn from undoubt-
ed source, that there is not any ground
for such construction to be put upon
anything that Mr.. Matlock has said in
regard to the election of County Judge,
and great injustco is done him in the
article of the Herald.
Mr.. Matlock is as true and straight
forward Democrat as there is in tho co II
ty, and gives the ticket n hearty sup
port. The Herald will find that its au
thority for the story has perverted the
truth for personal ends. ..
Again We assure the Alma Democ-
racy that Mr. Decherd will, from infor-
nation we have from different parts of
the county, receive tho full strength of
the party vote. We look upon Mr.. Dech
erd as one of the very best men, on the
ticket, and if we were allowed to make
a prediction, it would be that he will re
coive larger majority than any other
candidate having an opponent. Stick a
pin there.
