What Michael CrOsbie Did.

ED. PREss:-At this time it will be we'll
to let the Democratic voters of Perry
county know the part Michael Crosbie
took in defeating Noah Karr, the late Dem
ocratic candidate for County Treasurer.
All who met Crosbie the last campaign
know the feeling that he had for Karr, and
all who met him know we'll the smile he
were over the defeat of Karr. This was
much regretted by his friends. But this
is not all. Michael Keely, who formerly
lived in this place, states to reliable citI-
zen of our town that Crosbie electioneered
him to vote against Karr. We are also
informed by good authority that Michael
Crosbie accompanied Isaac Weaver, who
went on an electioneering tour against
Noah Karr. This is the man we are called
upon to vote for next Tuesday. / ask the
Democracy, for the sake of the future Of
our party, to vote against him, and it will
be lesson in future to these men. Now
is the time to rid the party of its boilers
and purify it, and believe they will do il
next Tuesday. P.

AGRICULTURAL.

Owing to the energetic and scientific
exertions of Rev. Father Bloomer, the
cereal products of St. Joseph's farm du-
ring the past year have been greatly su-
perior in quality and quantity to those of
any previous year, since the adminlstra-
ton of Father Edlin. From thirty three
acres of land the Rev. gentleman threshed
S02 bushels of excellent wheat, and from
twenty acres of oats realized an average OF
about twenty-five bushels per acre. By
way of experiment he sowed about quar-
ter of an acre of Spring barley, which
yielded twenty eight bushels. Father
Bloomer also boast of being the possessor
of an extraordinary breed of hogs, the on.

points of their noses which are admirably
adopted to roofing. One of these recently

passage under aling fence, which separ-

OF the late election in Arkansas enough
is known, meager as have been the returns,
10 stamp it is exceeding in frauds even
the notorious false counts of Alabama.
In the county in which Little Rock is
situated no returns up to ,date have been
made, and those who know say that none
will be made until after the general elec-
tion in November. Ballot boxes have
been burned in other counties, and returns
from those counties where the Greenback
vote was known to have been in the pro-
portion of ten to one, have been suppress
ed altogether, or so doctored that their IL
legality was made an excuse for delay in
giving the offiial returns until after No
vember.
The certainty of false counts and doc
tored returns has become monotonous by
recurrence. Wherever the Democrats
have the handling of the ballot-boxes il
is impossible to obtain reliable returns.
General Weaver in canvassing Arkan-
sas was made aware Of this fact, and be-
fore the election there, declared it useless
for Greenbackers to expect that their votes
would be counted. The event has proved
him correct in every statement he made ol
the corrupt manipulation of Democrntie
machine. Arkansas to-day should have
had Greenback Governor elect and q
majority in the Legislature but for the
frauds openly practiced upon the voters by
Democratic inspectors of elections.
Do Greenbackers propose fusion with =
party which calling for true count and
free ballot in its platform, perpetrates such
crimes upon the people as the election
frauds of Alabama and Arkansas?
Three weeks have passed since the Ar
kansas elections and still nothing is known
of its result except that the Democrats
claim to have been elected by a vote
whose returns have never been made.
Shall Greenbackers whose franchise ii
the one hope for the success of their prin
ciples, give aid and comfort to party who
robs men of their franchise by the whole
sale?
Is that Party fitted to hold even a mob
icum of power which to attain its end
, will falsify election returns. burn ballo
boxes, and perjure themselves by making
|, fraud upon the dearest rights of the citi
zen lie against the will of the people?
The party which upheld perjury ant
fraud, is doubly guilty of both, and it
candidates are the representatives of al
, that is most criminal in political action
If they rule by perjury in the judge of al
election, they will rule BY perjury in tn
, halls of Congress and in the chair of tn
Executive.
The frauds in Alabama and Arkansa
have been so patent that no one has raise
voice to deny them. They could not d
it, but with the hardihood of successful
crime have answered only by sneers 8
!, their own exposure.
These frauds were perpetrated by Dem
ocrats, instigated by their determinatio
: to crush down and ride over everythin
which opposes their design of holding
solid South and their return to admins
y trative power.
With this criminal record before then
can men who hold their right to cast
vote and have it counted as somethir.
dearer than life vote for or with the part
D of which that record is true?
