CAsLE's MrLIs. June 4. 1878,

EAGLE MILLS, June 4, loio.
 EDITOR DEMocRAT; Permit me through the columns of your paper to drop few lines in reference to our section of "Old Pope"
 Crops are looking fine. Wheat. though not as good as usual, is be- ing harvested, and promises about half crop. The weather is fine and the farmers are getting out of the grass.
 Cagle's Mills is looking up. Our enterpfising townsman, Mir. J. II. Baker is opening up stock of gen eral merchandise, and MT. 1. N. Ca9le will supply the good people with drugs of all kinds at astonish- ing low prices. House building is going on rapidly; the new church parsonage NJ. E. Church wlll soon be ready for our esteemed minister Rey. D. II. Upchurch.
 Elder T. B. Ford preached fine sermon to a large and attentive con gregation at the Mills June Sd, and we would just say to our Seottyiilo friend that we will compete with them or any other people for good behavior at Divine services, but do not wish to be understood that we doubt the statement of the Scottyilie correspondent.
 Your readers will remember that we have not lost sight of the county site question, but are only waiting to see what steps will be taken in reference to moving the county site,
 Health was never better than it is DOW at our place, and we would take this opportunity to call the attention of immigrants to the fact that we have one of the healthlest places in the county, pldpty of good lands to locate; let them come and see our section before locating elsewhere.

record would bear me out in saying.
 I claim no reward for having done

l l claim no reward for having done mv duty in the past. I am. l be. ilieye, the oldest man in the race. Was Il member of the Constitutional 1 Convention of 1856, which framed Arkansas' first Constitution under { which we lived in peace and pros l percd up to 1860. The war then came on. Our state was torn up. After a while that contest was over and we were permitted to again re- sume our place in the Union. In 1874 my people again sent me to assist in making another Constitu- tion. Under this Constitution we once more enjoyed peace and pros perity. I was member of the Leg Iislature of 1887 and assisted to frame the first statutes under the Constitution of 1886. The wisdom of those statutes was attested by the fact that many of them yet stand. That Legislature provided the pres ent dover law which guaranteed the widow and orphan some protection against the cxactions and demands of cold and selfish world. l adyo cated that law and by so doing se- cured the censure of the rich.
 There is my opponent Col. John son. I think he has already had honor enough from the people of Arkansas. He has served them in the U. s. Senate and he would now have no more honor were he sent there again. If after while under q Democratic administration the people want Col. J. to serve them further, I will favor him taking q place in the Cabinet. This will be promotion, which is customary when men have attained great dis tinction.
 Gov. Baxter, too, has been amply honored by his people. They made hlm Governor and sustained him there when his own friends would have kicked him out. In 1874, with singular unanimity the people again rendered him the Gubernatorial office. He declined.
 am now 67 years old and have never yet had tac honors of these two gentlemen conferred upon me. Have never been Governor and never been in Congress. Why not now let nc share some of the honors of my state. If am ever to receive any crown of approval for my past course how is the time, for my day of life is fast waning and l will soon pass away. Others can then come in. There will be the same demand for Senators after while that there now is and think my younger op- ponents should wait. Suppose you prepare feast for your friends, and when you have them all assembled you find there is not room at your board for all to feast at once-who do you invite to the table first, the old or the young? Would you not invite the old and aged and let the young wait? You certainly would, and without any disrespect to the young. I think this would be proper in the present race for the Senate, for it is now or never with me. If you confer this honor upon me, fellow citizens, you shall never regret it. l will never do any act or deed to dlshonor the high trust, but will yield the office to my successor unsullied by any deed of mine.
 l thank you for your kind atten- tion.

Mrs. Aliens Statement.

Statement made by Mrs. l.. F. Allen, in relation to the death of Mrs. J. c. Mickey:
 As was passing by Mrs. McKey's early on Friday morning the 3ist day of May, Mrs. Mickey came to the door and called me in; went in and asked her if she was sick; she said no, she had only taken some morphine and was feeling very weak; asked her why she had taken it; she replied "to relieve the headache, so that she could go out and pay visit to her mother" 1 asked her how much she had taken she said she had taken only part of dose and rubbed the rest on her head. This was before breakfast, and told her to take some strong cofic e and eat some. She did so in my pres enee, and seemed to feel better. Nei- ther myself nor Mrs. Mickey then fear ed any i'll consequences from the effects of the morphine. My honest conyic- ton is that Mrs. Mickey had no inten- ton whatever to take enough morphine to do any injury, it was recommended toaher as an antidote for headache and as such she took it, desiring to get free from the same in order that she might visit her mother that day. I was as in- timate with Mrs. Mickey as any of her neighbors-perhaps more so--and l have no idea she had any reason, or thought, or intention of taking enough morphine to induce death. She was cheerful and of late frequently talked to me of her future hopes and prospects.
 Mas. l.. F. ALLEN.
 We thought we were very guarded last week in reporting the sad event above alluded to, and had no idea that we were saying a word that would wound any one's feelings; such was certainly very far from our intention We cheerfully give publication to the above statement o5 Mrs. Allen.--tED.
The daily gazette., 1878-09-02

AT the nomination election Mr.. Gal
lagher got. ll31 votes about 400 Of which
it is said were negroes, most of whom
are disfranchised because their taxes
were not paid ard they were returned as
errors and their names do not appear on
the tax lists. They cannot vote. Mr.
Fraim, one of Mr.. Gallagher's competi-
tors declared that Mr.. Gallaghers ma
ierity wasygo by fraud. Two weeks
after this, at the Democratic nomination,
Mr.. Almond received 1749 votes, all
from white voters, whose names, 1t is
supposed, are on the tax lists and who
are voters. AT theDemocratic omination
1900 votes were polled, all pledged TO
support the nominee, Mr.. Almond
At the Republican nomination 2S0o
votes were polled ! 700 of which were me-
groes, whose real estate is not taxed and
whose names are mostly off the tax h,ts
and, therefore, cannot vote legally.
The vote at the city election will barely
reache 5000. This time it is not likely
to reach that much. H. is hardly possible
therefore, that Mr.. Gallagher will poll
more than 1900 votes. While Mr.. ALL
mond will, IN all probability, poll 1900 or
5000.

THE Republican has been for several
months recommending Senator Bayard
as aprotective tariff man; and now the
Peniusular Ne,cS, edited by Dr. j. S. Pret-
lyman, says the Senator will lead the
Republicans of Delaware in the Il. xt
clmpaign. The Ne'cs finds no place for
itself except with the Nationals, The Doc
tor has had $1,000 out of the Republican
crib and very naturally seeks new pa,
ture, having exhausted his chance for
more in the old.

Steadily the tide Of pubic opinion
gathers for Mr.. Gallagher, aud from pre-
sent appearances he will he elected by
very handsome majority."-RepaJi,caH.
The street committee and the chief en-
gineer are making the city money flow
in "tide" that should arouse "public
opinion" to such an extent as to crush
out forever the system of public officers
electing themselves to office. This is
what Mr.. Gallagher is doing in a vain
effort to make himself Mayor as well as
Chief Engineer. He will be defeated u
terly. The people will not elect man
10 this office who endeavored TO defraud
the city of money by circulating coun-
terfeit tax receipts.

John p. Almond distmced all his COM
petitOrs in the race, and toaS, on Saturday,

as their candidate for Mayor. Mr.. AH-
mond ,ods born and raised in Wilmington,
and By honest industry and integrity he has
risen to be one Of its sound business men and

The daily gazette., 1878-09-02

THE Republican says the GAZETTE has
suddenly dropped the high toned chris
tain gentleman plan of carrying on the
campaign" We do not know what kind
of a plan that is However it would be
very difficult to sustain the Repubiican's
candidate for Mayor on any such plan,
since he has bean indicted for high
crime of which he confessed the evidr nee
would send him to prison, and has been
suspended in a temperance division for
II n-payment Of dues; and suffered even
his tax bills to accumulate until the city
collector had to threaten SUIT; and all
this while he was getting an ample salary
from the city treasury. A man who will
not contribute to the support of the city
that gives him office can hardly be con-
sidered titsubject to make a "high toned
christian gentleman campaign" over.
The daily gazette., 1878-09-02

OPEN BRIBERY and corruption is the
dinier resort of the Gallagher party. 1t
is not enough to use the city money TO
buy carriers and street cleaners votes ;
but the election officers are sought out
to be bought to commit crime. Is 1t any
wonder now that an indictment should
be found on the records at New Castle
Such bold and daring effort to defy the
laws and cheat the people will meet its
reward.
The daily gazette., 1878-09-02

The Republican furnishes much of the
evidence of the guilt of its canaidate for
Mayor and puts on a hard cheek, hoping
thereby to browbeat public opinion, Just
as the Returning Board thieves aud their
co-operatives in the presidential steal
have done. 1t won't do. Mr.. Almond
will be elected
