The argument before Judge Horri-

noon, on a motion to quash the erimi-

administrator, James A. Anderson,
was participated in by Judge T. w.
Brown and Mr.. Geo. CAN'T, on behalf
Il Mr.. Anderson, and Attorney-Gcn en-
eral Turner for the State. The Judge
at noon took the case under advise

among a large number Of spectators
present that the criminal prosecution
has been premature, and hat the in
dictments will be knocked sky high;
also, that the informality of the pro-
ceedings will cause Judge Horrigant to
quash the indictments. Many who
heard Mr.. CAN'T say that he put
Judge Anderson's ease before the
court in a strong position, and many

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP.

n
 Indiana was lost to the democracy of that state on the I2th inst, sim ply because enough democrats did not give one day to their country and go to the polls. Perhaps if even so small numb Der as five dem. ocrats at each voting precinct who stayed at home on that Gay had turned out and boiled their votes for thelr party standard bearers the re. suit instead of being a republican victory, as it was, would have been a democratic triumph. But it is not by any means certain that the state IS lost to Hancock, for when the issue is narrowed down to a choice between Garfield and Hancock the result will certainly not be victory for the former.
 The result in Indiana must teach us lesson. We must recognize the fact that we must never show any. thing less than our full and com plete strength at the ballot box. It is the better policy to never show a weak place in our lines although there may be apparently no danger Tn sight. It is the prospect of success that inspires even weak and scat tering army with superhuman endur- ance and marvellous bravery. And so it is with an unbrohen front and watchful sentry that renders hope forlorn and paralyzes the efforts of a foe with inferior numbers. Don't say "that is all very true, but we are safe in Arkansas and see no need for any special effort here" We have magnificent majority here, true, and what we want to do do is to retain It and increase It. And the way to do this is for every demo- crat in the whole state to regard it as his solemn duty to go to the polls on election day and make his ballot coant one for the party nominees. Thus we will sicken hope and un- nerve effort on the part of our adver- saries. But whenever we begin to show indifference and neglect, we furnish fuel for our foes to light up their watchfires. On the Ed day of next month let every democrat in Pope county say "I give this day to my country" and let no one cease action on that day until every demo- cratic vote in the county has been brought to the ballot box and de- posted for the Hancock and English ticket, and for Jordan E. Crayens for congress, Let us show our re publican friends that they had just as we'll stack arms and forever here- after desist from the folly of trying to elect congressman in this dis trict. Let the Cravens democrats and the Byers democrats and the Howard democrats all join hands and show the scraggy army of rspub- licans and the puny little band of greenbacksrs that they are simply nowhere on the 2d day of November.
 Don't forget that day-turn out and vote.
