 Editor DEMOCRAT: 1 learn few dls- appointed persons are endeavoaing to create the impression that the meet ing here on the 10th, did not repre- sent the sentiments of majority of our people. As chairman of the Mass Meeting 1 will state that ample notice was given, that the meeting was largely attended, by the very best men ofour county, and that the name of every aspirant ,or office was plainly and fairly presented. As to the nomination for State Senator though the names oftwo other worthy gentlemen were placed before the meeting Col. J. F. Hill received the hearty endorsement of over two thirds of all the voters present. ] feel that If we are to be bound at all by the action of our party, whether assembled in mass meeting or other wise, there is no possible way Lo es cape the endorsement of Col. J. F. Hill. Our people almost unanimous ly accept the result ofthe meeting as final and conclusive, and with but few exceptions, will vote solid for Col. J. F. Hill. J. P.-MlTcHELL.
 At the request of Dr. Mitchell we append the call made for the mass meeting which made the nominations for Johnson county:

Arkansas as a Grain Growing
 State.

Arkansas is getting to be consid- erable of q wheat growing state. The crop for this year is estimated at 100000 bushels. When it is con- sidered that the crops of the great state of Kentucky is estimated at only S,000,000, Tennessee at 10000 GOO and Texas.a 12, 100000 bushels, the relative importance of Arkansas with 100000 bushels will be rcadi- ly perceived and appreciated. We feel proud of this exhibit for our state that has not heretofore been reckoned as much of a wheat grow inc state. It shows that we are rap idly climbing up the scale of pro gress, advancement and prosperity. Gazette.
 Uncle jessie in his Norristown Notes speaks of many voters ex- pressing their regrets at Tobe Me Cracken declaring in favor of Baxter for U. $. Senator,' and then names Walker, Bell, and Johnson-all good men,-but has Uncle Jesse forgotten that John J. Jones is also a Iandi- date? Is he not aware that there IS BUT ONE FARMER in the Senate of the United States, and that he is a negro from Mississippi? Does he wish the whole farming interest of forty mill ions of people to be represented by one black man solitary and aloneT If the people wish to pay MT. Baxter that ''eternal debt of gratitude" as derisivcly put by his enemies, for one, I would as soon pay it now as to continue it, but if he is to be dropped for another, let the claims of the farmers and working men (not Jones' nor Walkers nor Johnson's) be remembered. The people have just claims-office seekers none. It. is time that everybody understood that offices were not created merely to gratify the ambition of aspiring great men. The people should elect honest, sober, capable, industrious men to fill offices, Officers are, or should be, our servants or agents; but Senators especially, soon forget that they are under any obligations to the people. The U. S. Senate is composed largely of big lawyers and wealthy bankers and bondholders who feel just about as much interest in the welfare of the farmer, mechan- ic and merchant as berkshire hog cares for Uncle Jesse's potato patch

lowing resolution:
Resolved, That in view of the condition of

any measures looking toward reduction of
the effective force of the army is not justified

tions to the Senate to-day: Charles McCaud-
lois of Pennsylvania, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of New Mexico; Jno. S. Witcher
of West Virginia, U S. Marshal for Idaho:

fairs for Dakota.

Mr. Weeks of Augusta supported the bill as

Mr.. Pllsbury of Lewiston thought the bill
as amended unnecessary, as it made the law

Mr. Curran Of Calais made an able argument
in favor of accepting the majority report.
The amendment was lost.
The House refused, by a vote of III to 25, to
substitute the minority for the majority report.

leave to withdraw, was accepted.

exempting bank capital from taxation, and cor
respondingly increasing it on real and other
property.
Mr.. Strickland of Bangor opposed the bill in
an able speech.
Mr.. Fierce OF Portland hoped the bill would
not pass. 1t is against the sentiment of the
people.

ROME, Feb. 14.-The time for celebrating
the funeral Of the Pope has been changed to
the 18th, 10th and 18th inst.
The ceremony of consigning the remains to
their temporary resting place was performed
yesterday evening. 1t lasted from to 9.15
o'clock. The ceremony was impressive and
numerously attended. Great crowds assembled
outside the Basilica. Perfect order prevailed.
The conclave will meet on the 18th inst. The
partisans of the moderate party are very conf
dent of success. In Mondays consistory the
Cardinals discussed the advisaDility of the
Sacred Colleges binding the new Pope to a
predetermined line of conduct. Cardinal Pecci
spoke against the proposal which was sup
ported by Cardinal Manning. By large
majority it was decided that the Pope should
nave the fullest freedom of action. The foreign
Cardinals arriving here announce that the
public opinion of their respective countries is
favorable to cOnciliatory policy
