=, VAN BuKEN Oct q, 1873.
10 the Democracy of the Third District:
Col. M. l.. Rice and his friends are on
the war path. He will receive the Re-
publican vote of the district. They al
ways go to the polls and vote, whether
in the minority or the majority. They
never permit apathy or indifference to
stand in the way of success. Our dan.
ger is in the failure of our party to poll
Its full vote. Our majority is large, but
calamity often comes TO Il party with a
heavy majority from neglect OF duty.
Go to the polls on the 9th of Novem-
Der, and vote for Hon. j. Il. Cravcns, our
nominee. Remember the vast interests
which are at stake, and 10 not neglect
this duty. Should Col. Rico be elected,
he will, on all political questions, vote
with the Republicans. There are but
two parties in Congress. The Greenbacll-
ers, there, will be few and powerless,
and Col Rice's past political affiliations
will carry him to the Republicans. lie
has never been Democrat, while he has
been Republican, and, if supported by
" pNiia IeSl'ubiiNah WV, dts nv Will Dt,
he will be found, if elected, with our pc.
litical enemies.
Its said that some Democrats ofstrong
Greenback proclivities, will vote for
Col. Rice. Surely the platform of the
Arkansas Democracy is strong enough
on the financial question, to challenge
the support Of all such Democrats. We
cannot afford to experiment on this ques.
ton now, and it is not only folly, but is
dangerous in the extreme, Tor Democrats
to give countenance or support to par
ty which therecent elections have shown
to be without power to accomplish re-
forms of any kind. We must stand by
the party, its principles and its men. 1t
is the party of reform, and if better
times arc to come to the toi'ing masses,
they must come through its agencies.
" Put none but Democrats on guard
Let every Democrat 60 to the polls, and
cast his vote for Cravens, and thus do his
duty to the country. | confidently APP

trict, who have never faltered or waver-
