A resolution introduced in the
House, based upon an invitation to
the members to visit the Industrial
University, at Fayetteville, elected
considerable discussion, and among
the many glittering speeches made
on the occasion, pro and con, the
following is reported in the Gazette
as emanating from our representa-
tive, DR.. Mcgavock:
81 am no economist, and | shall
make no speeches to curry favor at
home. dislike to see the little mat.
ter of dollars and cents brought into
contest with the great interests of
Arkansas. | favor the visit. | want
to 60 there, and | want to meet and
get acquainted with those people. If
Arkansas is too poor to send her
people to Fayetteville to see her
great institution, she has reached a
degree of impecuniosity that don't
care to represent her. Applause.
1t would seem from the above, that
our representative has undergone a
change of sentiment on the subject
of economy since last summer: Du-
ring the canvass, his vocabulary of
adjectives was insufficient to fully
give expression to his feelings, when
harranguing the multitudes from the
stump, charging the Legislature of
1881 with wanton expenditure of the
public money, and made it special
charge against his opponent, II. NJ.
McVeigh, that he had voted with the
minority report, on committee, for
sl50,000 for the Insane Asylum
and promised reform and economy.
