The circular issued by Mr.. Harvey says ::
Our ticket shall be Citizens Temper
and Tax -payers' Ticket Does Mr.. Har-
vey mean to imply that Mr.. Philbrook is
not a temperance man and prudent in the
management of city affairs? Our citizens
know such an implication is utterly false.
The republicans of the sever d wards in
the city nominated candidates for Alder
men last evening and made excellent Sc
lections. In some of the wards there was
competition. but the best of feeling gen
orally prevailed and the tickets nominated
will be heartily Supported and elected we

City Finances.
Falls. Euhibss Of the New Age.

The New Age of this week treats its
readers to more bogus statements about
the finances of the city. 1t pretends to
COPY the exhibit in the Journal made a
short time since. but it mutilates that ex-
hibit to answer its purpose, and then pre-
sents the falsehood to its readers as a cor
rect copy. The following figures are
omitted from the credit side of the treasury ::
Abatement, Edward, Mfg Co. $500
Zeal Estate Gravel Bank, ~
City Debt. INV
These are sums which the city treasury
has been obliged to provide for, and for
which il should and would have credit in
any fair statement of it's condition. After
suppressing these the Age pretends to
find deficiency in the city treasury OF
5000. 90, whereas the actual and true
state Of things is that there was balance
in the treasury. as we stated in our former
article, I'D to February 1st, of Sl4O0.3l.
Condition of Treasury March LIST.
The condition OF the treasury on March
lst a. shown by the books of our efficient
CITY treasurer, is as follows:
Received by him up 10 that date
for the municipal year 1854 sl25,d523I
Paid o1t for same time l2,7t5ss
balance in treasury 2,sos.ii
But the New Age informs its readers
that the treasury is in debt about this time
for current expenses iron 800, 900 to s25.-
OO0,,l Such is the power OF lively i'm
aginaiion upon constituencies editor.
The Rate of Taxation Reduced.
Very likely MANY of our citizens bave
forgotten that the rate of taxation was
reduced this year. Last year the rate was
q mills to the dollar, this year the rate
was fixed at 10 IL mills to the dollar.
Taxes have been decreased instead of
increased during the year. A close in
vestigation will show a careful economy
in the city government in regard to ex-
pendtures. All persons who desire re-
liable and full information can obtain it
by examining the books of the treasurer.

was a dying effort, s5f seconds, which is
at the rate of mile in 2:2l. 1t was a
great performance and it is in order to
congratulate the owner, Mr.. Isidor Cohn-
field. Maxey Cobb is 9 years old, and he
was got by Happy Medium, out of a
courageous mare called Lady jenkins,
sired by Prince Nebo. Happy Medium,
owned at Fairlawn, is rising into great
prominence as a speed-producing sire. He
is a son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian and
the famous Princess. who was the rival Of
Flora Temple on the turf. He impresses
his action with much uniformity upon his
progeny, and when this action is sup
ported by stout lines on the side Of the
dam, we have an onward turf sweep to
victory. The probabilities arethat Maxcy
Cobb will go into winter quarters with the
best stallion record. Phallas will hardly
get into shape to beat it this year.

Mulligan,s Reiteration.

Boston, October lin reference to
Blaine's denial of the assertion of Warren
Fisher, that he (Blaine) had offered a sum
of money for the Mulligan letters given
in these dispatches Fisher reiterates his
claim hat Blaine did make such an offer.
He declares that at the request of Elisha
Atkins and at the special request of Mr..
Blaine, he went to New York in the
Spring of 1880, and met Blaine at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, that then and there
Mr.. Blaine made the request to obtain,
for money or otherwise, from jim Multi
gan, all letters and memoranda in which
Mr.. Blaine had any interest. The amount
was not limited and he was authorized to
pay $4,000 ifhe could not obtain them
for less. MI. Blaine said John Cum
mings, partner of Elisha Atkins, would
furnish the money.

QUEBEC, October l0.-About l o'clock
this afternoon an explosion occurred at
the new Parliament buildings, destroying
a considerable portion of the masonry and
windows of the new building, which is
just being rooted in. The explosion at
first was supposed to have been the boiler
of an engine used for hosting material,
but this proved not to be the case; neither
can it be attributed to the gas. The gen.
eral impression appears to be that the ex-
p%losion was caused by dynamite, but as
zone of this ingredient was used on the
work, the mystery is how it came there.
An investigation is being held. The
workmen all being away at dinner, nobody
but one man was injured, and he escaped
with a slight cut from a piece of stone.
The shock was very severe all over the
city, windows and houses in the vicinity
of the explosion being badly shattered.

For Secretary of State.

RUssELLyILLE, ARK, Feb. IL, 'S4.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
1t appears to be generally under
stood that Gov. j. III. Berry will not
be a candidate for governor next
term, and that our present Secretary
of State, Jake Frolich, will not be a
candidate for re- election to that
office, and contemplate offering theil
services for higher positions. II
does seem to US that they are the
right men in the right place. III
fact, their records are so good we are
10th to give them up, aud we are sat
isfied majority of the people would
be glad to have them continue in
their present offices for at least ano
ther term. Though should they as
pre- to higher honors, the question
would naturally arise who shall we
put forward as best suited and best
qualified to fill their places? Fol
governor there has been already quite
a number Of prominent men spoken
of, all doubtless good men. But
would it not, Mr.. Editor, be well for
the people to be looking round for
the man who will fill the office of sec.
rotary of state with that efficiency,
honor and credit to the state that
friend Frolich has? ] am frank to
admit that he has but few equals for
the place. However, with yoar per
mission, Mr.. Editor, | will suggest
the name of one of Arkansas sons
who has not superior IN the state
for the office of secretary Of state,
He has all the qualifications neces
sary; he fills the standard; honesty
and qualification coupled with social
and accommodating qualities; per
feet gentleman In every sense of the
word. speak Of James f. Batten-
field, the present secretary of the
Melrose Cotton Mills, Rnssellville.
Mr.. Battenfeld is well and favorably
known throughout the state, having
been the editor of the DEMOCRAT for
many years, whose ability as writer
was never questioned. 1t is proven
bal with Mr.. Battentield that what
he undertakes to do he does it well,
and can do as much as any other lit
tic man in Arkansas.
Perhaps friend Battenficld may
think that it would have been better
to consult him in this matter before
sending it to the editor for publica
ton, but believing the office should
seek the man, and if the harness falls
upon his shoulders to wear 1t, and
work IN the interests of the people
with that zeal / know Mr.. Battenfeld
or any other good and true man Of
his party and country would do.

one of the pressing duties of the
democracy in this year of grace is
to assert its independence OF men
and sections. As long as the party
knuckles to any man or set of men
or to any sectional influence as is
now attempted to he exerted on the
party, so long will it merit the dis
trust of the masses for they will see
it the arpurtenance Of these men OF
the creature of that section. II the
party would succeed it must hurl
down any power that threatens from
these quarters and be perfectly free,
independent, just and national. New
York is powerful in its peculiar stu
ton and Importance, but by no means
powerful enough to supplant the
party's principles in its platforms for
the great battle of 1884. 1t cannot
afford TO barter its doctrines, or make
the coming campaign on any other
ground than that Of principle.
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-02-21

WASN'T that surplus in the United
States treasury most fortunate
thing. 1t may be demonstrated after
all that small surplus lying arouad
loose in Uncle Sans vaults is not
the worst thing under the sun. 1t
never could have gone to more
worthy purpose than to the flood sui.
ferers, and 1T is difficult to see where
relief would have come from, if it
had not fortunately been provided in
this quarter. Much private help of
course was afforded to the homeless
and suffering, but nothing like ade-
quate to the necessities of the situa.
ton, and thousands must have gone
under the endurance Of the most ter
rible deprivation and want, ii not
starvation, but for this timely govern
ment aid.

THE level. headed editor of the
Lonoke Democrat, in making com
parative statement of the railroad
tariff rate on the product of cottor
mills in this state and states adioin
ing, based on an article from the
DEMOCRAT on the same subject, says
Railroads should deal more lib
orally With such enterprises, thai
other manufacturing establishments
may spring up along their lines"
The above is packed with vigorous
truth. When railroads fail to fos
ter and encourage such enterprises
they do the roads, the country and
capital seeking investment, serious
injury.
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-02-21

A CONSTITUTIONAL convention is
the Little Rock Democrats highest
ambition. II the Democrat could
only furnish guarantee that only
the few measures which it mentions
would be considered, and the people
would only have to pay for the two
or three days that would be required
IN their consideration, then its wishes
would be great deal more apt to be
needed by the public ear. Buta con
stitntional convention calls up the
vision of a sixty or ninety days SEES
sion with many Thousand dollars ex-
pense, an utter sitting of our present
constitution, long and exciting can
vass for and against the adoption of
the one framed by the convention,
with as many detects as can be found
in the present one, perhaps. And
all this causes the people to serious
ly consider whether 1--WE had not pet.
ter bear the ills we have than fly to
those we know not Of"
