Words from West Virginia.

 MEADLAxD, w. VA, Aug. 12, 1882. EDITOR DEMOCRAT: M a9s
 I have read with pleasure and in- terest the DEMOCRAT of the 3d,linst., the first ever saw. Its typography is really excellent and its contents equally good, especially when read through democratic specs. pl8 aT
 The present condition of affairs demand loudly the application of democratic principles in the admin lstration of our national government. The direct tendency ofthe party now in power is to grand centralized goysrnmet with vast and klngly at tributes. The fathers devised and put into practical operation 3 form of government with this sentiment ramifying through all it's official acts and doings, THE GREATEST GOOD TO THE GREATEST NUMBER" This l is democracy. And this democracy is only found in the democratic party. We have, then, on the one hand, q party striving to undo all that the fathers did to secure peace, hap piness and prosperity, and on the other hand party devoted to the interest of the masses, and always ready and willing to labor for the good of the greatest number. The parent evil, at this time threatening our country with bankruptcy and ruin, is a protective tariff, and the higher it is the greater the oppres- sion. Such tariff simply means: Flavor to the rich. oppression to the poor" ,~ But the corruption of the party now ruling is truly alarming; and, if continued as at present, will most certainly be the death of our civil institutions followed by an aristo- cratic form of government more in tolerant than some monarchies of the present day. ..l West Virginia is "Oll Korrect" on the main questionable success of democratic principles.

TIE agony is over. The demo cratic primary election for Pope county was held last Saturday, and the result is announced elsewhere in to-day's paper. It is conceded by all, irrespective of party, that more quiet, orderly, peaceable election was never before held within the borders of the county, and this fact is mat ter of self-congratulation by the de- mocracy. It seemed as if each voter rose triumphantly above the petty jealousies, usually engendered by a political campaign, and cast his bal lot with but one object in view-the welfare of the whole people. The election in each township was con ducted with impartiality and fair ness, and the action ofiithe county democratic central committee in so closely scrutinizing the returns and ascsrtaining the final result is wor- thy of all commendatien. e.a
 In the selection of ticket, the party has made a choice that will commend itself for its excellence, and the efficiency of the individuals composing it, and it is one that can and will receive the hearty support of every democrat at the general election in September. A fair divis- ion of the offices has been made to the different sections of the county. The southeast obtained the senator and assessor; the south, the sheriff and clerk; the east, the representa- tive; the center and north, the coun- ty judge, treasurer, surveyor and coroner. Could any more satisfacto- ry division have been made?
 Now, that the smoke of battle has cleared, let the democracy close ranks and, under guidance of the leaders selected last Saturday, march in solid column, unbroken front to the polls on the 4th day of Septem- Der, and then and there make a charge, democratic ballots in hand, that will cause the weak opposition to drop their colors and retreat in gloriously from the field. Democrats of Pope county, will you gain the victory that is almost within your grasp? With such true and tried leaders, victory is certain. iaf

A great deal of disorder is preva- lent ir the neighborhoOd of Apple ton, Pope county.-Little Rock Ga zette. 3aH
 The foregoing was suggested to the news-gatherer of the Gazette by the robbing and burning of Mont gomery's store at Appleton, not long since. But we can assure our breth- ren of the Gazette that Pope county is very unpleasant place for perpe- trators of crime to tarry long, for the prompt and vigorous manner in which they are bounced upon and taken in by the wide-awske sheriff, Capt. R. B. Hogins, and his efficient deputies is proof positive that law and order are the rule. As for the superabundance of disorder prevail ing in the neighborhood of Apple ton, we are afraid the news-gatherer of the Gazette has been misinformed, for to our knowledge there is not a more quiet, peaceable, law and order loving community in the State than that in and around Appleton. No, brethren, disorder is not prevalent in that or any other neighborhoOd of Pope county, but, on the contrary, all is peace and quiet and harmony.

me National Cotton Planters
 Association.


 The subioined article appeared ina recent extra of the Planters Journal, published at Yicksburg, Miss. We hope the planters in the several counties of Arkansas will act upon the suggestions made and send dele gates to the convention. Read and act:
 The approaching Convention of the National Cotton Planters Asso- citation, at Little Rock, Ark, on October 10th, 1882, promises to be one of the largest and most impor- tant ever held by the Association.
 It IS matter of regret that com. bination of circumstances have pre- vented and will continue to prevent that thorough organization of county and parish branches contemplated by the Association until after the meeting in October.
 The various counties of the cotton States, however, will hold meetings and select delegates to represent them in the Convention this October, after which most thorough organi- zation wIll be instituted by the States, and strong effort will be made to reap the advantages that must accrue to the planters and landholders of the South there by.a
 The principles of the Association have grown with time, and though circumstances, as we remarked above. have combined heretofore to prevent our realizing all the benefits that ere this should have attended it's work, the members are none the less determined to carry out the orig inal plans which will give to the agriculturists of the South the great est organization for general good that has ever been inaugurated.
 President Morehead has just paid a visit to Little Rock, Ark, to con fer with the officers. of the State Fair Association in regard to the transportation of delegates, their re eepton, entertainment, etc., and is greatly efated over the effort that is being made by those gentlemen as well as by the citizens of Little Rock, to make q great success of our Octo- Der meeting.
 The fair grounds of the Arkansas State Fair Association, are undoubt- ,edly the liandsomest in the South and beautifully located with hand some mile race track attached. We are assured in the first place, of a grand display of improved machinery aud blooded stock, and as one of the attractions, the best running aud trottipg races ever before seen in the South.
 Transportation over all tho lines will be reduced one, half, and strong effort made to have President Ar thurrand other distinguished men present. We risk nothing in saying the An. nual Convection at Little Rock, in October, 1882, promises in all it's re- suits te be the most important and largest ever before held by the As .sociation, and believe it will mark new era in the progress to practical work of the Association.
 The welcome by the citizens of Little Rock and the State of Arkan- sas, will be unbounded.

IN DISTRICTS where the three mile law is in force the vote for or against Liquor License will make no differ ence either way. It has been decid- ed that once whisky has been peti- toned out of q district, it is perpet- ual unless changed by another peti- tion asking for its reinstatement.- Harrison Times.
 It does make difference, brethren of the Times. In many counties of the State there are localities where the "three- mile law" is not in force, and it is the duty of the temperance people to use every means placed in their power to lend a helping hand to such places. A desperate effort will he made to secure the repeal oi the "three-mile law" and the lovers of sobriety have strong protection in the law which grants them the privilege of voting against license.

EVERY voter of Pope county sho

EVERY voter of Pope county should go to the polls on the 4th day of September in the full consciousness of his manhood and rights as an American citizen, and deposit in the ballot box the ticket of his choice. Let grand old Pope stand out at the close of the polls as the home of a people, who enjoy to the fullest ex- tent the inestimable blessing of q free expression of their opinion.

THREE of the big guns of the re- publican party fired their political speeches into a Russellville audience, last Monday. The speakers were Col. NJ. W. Benjamin, of Little Rock, candidate for congress from the third district, Col. T. M. Gibson, candidate for attorney general, and Hon. W. N. May, candidate for asso- ciate justice of the supreme court, the last two on the republican state ticket. As usual the burden of the speeches was bitter denunciation of the democratic party and democratic rule in Arkansas, and exaltation of the spotless party CD they represent, but it is needless to state that the harangues fell stillborn on their hear CTS. The audience, fair-sized one, was principally conspicuous flor the small number of republicans and large number of democrats compos- ing it, and it was plain to be seen that the. republican party did not receive as much of a ''boost' as was expected. A few more speeches from our republican friends and Pope county would be solidly dem ocratic for the state and congression- al tickets.

FAIRNESS should characterize the conduct of every one in all rela- tions, and in no place should this characteristic be more prominent than in an election. Each voter should be permitted to express his preference as his conscience dictates, and without undue solicitation, die tation, or intimidation.
