The Russellville Democrat., 1878-08-08
THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1878.
RusSELLviLLE, ARK.

Judge Compton and Mir. Geo. W. Hill both refuse to allow their names to be put on the so called Independent Greenback Ticket.
 Last weeks Arkansian lssued a supplement containing Col. Jaco- ways vipdication of himself from the charges preferred against him by J. ". Toomcr.
 The Republicans of Pulaski county have nominated J. G. Bots- fosd for Sheriff. Tabbs Gross (black as the Ace of Spades) for County Judge.
 Geo. L. Converse, in the ninth, and Gen. A.,J. Warner, Tn the Thir- teenth, have been nominated by the democrats of their respective dis tricts for congress in Ohio
 MT. Sam. B. Gosng, formerly of the Forrest City Courier, is now travelling agent for the Gazette and will soon be up in this part of the State in tho interests of that paper
 Valentine Dell, editor and pro prietor of the Fort Smith New Era ("the oldest republican paper in the defunct confederacy") has been ap- pointed Register in the Little Rock office.
 -The Clarksville Herald has been enlarged and otherwise improved and is now a paper of which John son County ought to be proud, and to which generous support should be given. We congratulate you upon your success, Bro. Hite. G
 There is no disinterested man, who, knowing the situation of the different political townships in Pope County and the population of each, will not say that the County Seat should be st Russellviile-
 The Clarksville Herald gives engineer Roger credit for great pluck n.d courage Tn the late acci- dent which happened. Had it not been for his presence of mind the accident might have resulted much worse than it did. ,1
 Can anybody advance single good reason why the County Seat should longer remain at Dover?I Can anybody point out wherein the County will gain single point or save a cent of money by keeping it there? On the other hand the cOun- ty WILL save several thousand dol lars by change to RUssELLviLLE.
 -This is the way to make out your ballots on the County Seat question:
 FOR CHANGE.
 FoR RUssELLvILLE.
 And even if you choose to vote Against Change" you should also put on your ballot "For Russellville." This is necessary because a majority may vote "roR CHANGE" and if it IS changed, you have right to express your preference where it shall go, although you may be opposed to any change at all.
 The course of the Dardanelle Immigrant in demanding ten cents per line from Hon. W. n. Jacoway for his answer to the attack made upon him by J. W. Toomer, is de- nouneed by the Clarksville Herald as very unfair. If the Immigrant allows MT. Toomss space se attack the regular nominee of the pasty, it does seem that common justice would demand that space should also be given for reply. We trust the Immigrant has not been subsidized.
 We sbink we are safe in saying that three -fosrths of the people who have business at the County Sea. to transact with the Clerk, Sheriff, or Treasurer live south of Dover. Fully three -fourths of the taxes are paid by people who live south of line drawn through Dover east and west. Fully three -fourths of the voters live south of such line. The County Seat located at Russell vile will suit three .fourths of the people of the County much better than it will at Dover. Now is there anything wrong in saying that the one-fourth should yield to the three. fourthss Which is the more unjust: to contend that the convenience of three men should be sacrificed for the convenience of one, or that the
