Harness stealing by wholesale.

sides two miles out on tle Poplar street turn

titled two SETS as his property. This leaves

pcrious. All here is peace and harmony.
Not hair has been harmed or threatened.
Ii any are scared or uneasy, 1t Is simply the
tauntings Of a guilty conscience. As TO the
reference made to Colonel Paul +. Anderson,
IN the AUdtdnche article, | will simply say
that he Is able to take care of himself, and
presume he will be heard from. Our cam
paign committee Is composed of three Of the
best men in the county, Hons. l.. h. Man
gum, A. g. Jarman, and Paul +. Anderson,
whose names alone are a sufficient guarantee
for the protection of all those rights that are
sacred to man. | know not the author of
the AUdiaHche SANDER, but presume he
used muskets and artillery IN bulldozing our
elections during reconst uction. Muskets and
cannon IN the hands of the oppressed look
very frightful 10 the oppressor, but | will say
to the gentlemen, keep cool, we are making
"a canvass upon high principles; we are APP
pealng to the intelligence OF the colored men
and trying to cultivate the better part OF his
nature, our utmost efforts are being put forth
to break up the color line and subdue the pas
sions and prejudice that has been aroused in
his nature by his white Radical allies. We
are too benevolent TO visit retaliation upon
his sort. Our convention to nominate
county ticket was held on the first instant,
and was the largest and most enthusiastic as
semblage of white people that has ever as
sembled IN the county since the war. The
utmost harmony prevailed, and ticket was
nominated, of which we, as a party, have
Just cause to feel proud, being composed of
old citizens of the highest order of honor and
integrity, and | most positively assert that
such satisfaction exists in our ranks, that there
is not Democrat in the county who would
think of opposing the ticket. We open our
campaign tomorrow with banners flying,
music and dancing and barbecues. One of
the chief planks In our platform unanimous
ly adopted at our convention, reads as fol-
lows:
1--WE, the Democratic party of Phillips
county, In convention assembled, do most
cordially invite the colored men to unite with
US in the campaign we are making against
the official plunderers who have been con =
trolling the finances of our county the past
ten years. We guarantee to them the pro-
lection of life and property, to sacredly guard
their educational interests and their fran
chise."
This is the platform upon which we stand,
put forth after due deiberation, and upon
these principles we expect to win with all
right-thinking people. We will march from
one township to another, and intend keeping
up one constant ovation of good eating and
good feeling until the sun, on the morning of
the third of September shall rise upon US a
free and happy people. DEMOCRAT.

The harness is at the statlonhouse awaiting
identification by the owners.
The police should attend to those rowdy
persons who ride around the streets at night
in open hacks and buggies, and who conduct
themselves IN an unbecomlng manner.
No apprehension is now felt by sensible
citizens that any yeilow-iever will APPEAR In
our city this season. The work of the board
Of health Is having good effect.
Light showers of ram fell yesterday. but
did not reduce the temperature by a single
degree. Ia fact, the light showers but made
the air feel more sultry and oppressive.
The Radicals and Nationalist do not
like the idea OF having colored men as dele
gates to the Democratic guberna orial con-
vention. What are they going to do about
It?
The union between Grace and st. Lazarus
Episcopal churches has been dissolved. Rev.

ceived in the city just $40 votes more than |
did. Colonel Young received 2463 more than
G. L. Anderson did. This shows J. w. An

principally by G. Il. Anderson falling behind
Colonel Young's vote In the country, not
correcting the Bartlett fraud, and not taking
into consideration any other frauds, ]. W.
Anderson received $40 votes more than | did.
Correcting the Bartlett fraud, but not the
others, he received 35S votes more than | re-
ceived. Colonel Young received in the coun-
try Just 81 votes more than G. L. Anderson
did, or, correcting the Bartlett fraud, 50 less.
And so there has been very little change in
the Democratic vote in the country since the
election in 1876, and not much IN the Repub-
hean vote, If the frauds were purged.
There was a falling off Of votes in every
ward in the city from the vote of 1876 l had
majoritIes IN the fifth, seventh, ninth and
tenth wards, and the falling off in those four
wards is exactly $50. Colonel Young car
ried the other six wards, and the falling off
in those wards is 1857. His majorities in the
first and eighth wards aggregated only 143;
and in those wards there has been falling
off of only 60 votes. This leaves a falling off
Of 1897 IN the second, third, fourth and sixth
wards, or nearly 800 On an average to each
ward. While the wards | carried have fallen
off on an average less than 100 each. Where
have the $40 votes IN the second ward, 374

gregating much more than 1858, the majority

out upon the streets we discovered that II was

from Memphis. An extra coach had been

been very light, compared with the p5pula-

small, and it compares favorablY with the
death-rate of the healthiest cities of the
north and east. 1t is a good idea, however,
for the colored people to leave crowded cities
and secure good farms IN Arkansas or else
where, and become Independent agricultuI
alists instead OF being and remaining de-
pendent laborers IN a city. All wealth comes
from the soil, which, when You tickle with

seek the agricultural districts and provide
