A Model Candidate.

The Democratic party has very good reasons to be satisfied with it's candidate. Thus far he has made no mistakes.
 Nor is this all. Everything which has been developed of the past his tory of Gen. Hancock rebounds to his credit. His letter to Gen. Sher- man alone ought to elect him. Nc bribery, no fraudulent sransactlon tainss his name. He appears, by all that is brought to hght about him, tc be s man of sound sense and oi remarkably clear and intelligent views of personal rights and Of con stItutisnxl law.
 If Gen. Hancock continues on the discreet course he has thus far pur. sued, be will be regarded and spoken oi as the Model Candidate.
 And there is good reason to be lieye that the model candidate will make n Model President.

These oi our readers who have frequently en- tsrtained this canting hypocrite and contributed to his scanty purse, can now learn the manner oi man they entertained unxwares:

TURN OUT AM, VOTE.

We hope that every democrat ID Pope county will ponder well hEs duty in regard b the coming state election. Pope county sssOuld rise in the might of her patriotism and give Gen. Churchill every demo. cratic vote within her borders Thls is no time to daily, momeusons and Der topping interests are st stake and demand the support of the party.
 The Little Rock Gazette very cor rectIr states the reasons for polling every vote, Gs follows:
 Democrats should remember that the county that gives the largest vote for our state ticket will have the most votes in the Dexi state convention. The democratic ticket will be elected beyond ans doubt or question. The only ques tion is about the extent of the ms jority. Some place ii as high as fifty, sixty and seventy thousand none place It at less than forty thousand. Those who from any cause advise democrats to scrstct their ticket are only working agsins the representation Of their countie, in the democratic state convention The scratching or boiting will hay' no other effect

Good News for the Democracy.

Good News for the Democracy,
 A New York dispatch of the 18th, says:
 There is rejoicing at democratic headquarters over the news from Maine, which says that the demo crats there are gaining unexpected strength, and that republicans are thoroughly alarmed lest Maine shall not cast her vose for Garfield. Ohio, too, sends more encouraging news by every mail. The Germans of Cincinnati are represented as being disgusssd with Gsrfeld's perform2n- ces while on his recent tour through this state and at Chaut&qua, and are going against him. Senator Eaton said, to day. that the republican mis take in yesterdays Connecticut con- rention will cost them the vote oi that state, which, beyond all doubt will now be given to Hancock.

 Bradley County Whetstone: Oh, how happy the people will DC when the election is over. and the great seven octave, patent lever Fishback amendment to .he constitution oi Arkansas has been settled, never ts be heard again.

 Judge R. J. Brown writes from Cold Sulphur springs. Va, to the Van Baren Press as follows:
 "l have carefully read the speech of Hon. A. H. Garland, and the leste, of Judge U, Nj, Rose, on the pro posed amendment to the constitu, ton Of our state, and have carefully considered the subject, here, away from the conflicting opinions and partisan views at home.

 aRemember, democrats, that the way 10 secure power in the councils of your party is to vote the state ticket. Let every democrat cast his vote for Gen. Churchill, the head oi the ticket, and for every other nomi- nee of the party. This is the way to maintain your representation ID the rarty and at the same time per form your duty to the state.
