1t would be impossible for one man to
be the universal preference of thinking
men who naturally have choice that
that differ, but the selection Of Blaine
will carry with it the entire support Of
the Republican party. because Of the
werth, integrity, Repablicanism and Ca
pacity Of the great Statesman. 1t was APP
parent to the delegates that Blaine was
the strongest man in the states to be
contested and as strong as another else
where.
Logan is an idol with the soldiers and
as true man as breathes. The cam

WE have nothing against, bus much friendship for the Brothers oi Freedom as Brothers of Freedom. But If they transcend the proper limits of the order and enter the arena of politics, being dem- ocratic paper our duty is clear. Whether B.of F. party,or known by whatever name, save the glorious one of democracy, our attitude to- wards it is fixed by the necessities of the cause. So long as we are true to democracy, and we will ever be so long as it is true to the people, so long will our bow be drawn for it's defense against every form Of ism which is sought to be piled for it's overthrow and ruin. The democrat ic party is the child of necessity. It owes it's existence to its adaptability to the popular wants of the people. It is in fact the very expression oi the popular will, and the very em- bodiment of american liberty, and our best efforts shall be given to it, and our heaviest blows directed against its foes.

TIE General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, now in session in Philadelphia, had before it, or rather before it's committee on the state of the church, the question of the future policy of the church toward the social prejudice in the South which in some cases excludes colored people from church member ship and school attendance with the whites. The sub committee present. ed two reports. The majority re- Iort declared that no person should be excluded from worship in any church or from attendance upon any school on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The minority report favored the largest concession to personal preferences involving merely fal relations. The previous queS was ordered on the minority report which result ed in It's defeat by the deciding vote of the chairman, and the majority report was adopted by the same vote. As to such questions as this in the South, it might be we'll for them to be committed to the southern people. If the people up north want to break down social distinction between the whites and blacks, let them do so, but it will be many day before you will see white folks and negroes worshiping in the same churches, and going to the same schools in thIs South land.

publican of the most pronounced type, and prominent in the republi. can politics of the county, and IS now member of the county republican central committee, as published hy request in the DEMOCRAT April 3d. Col. Tobey has lead the van in the greenback camp until his name has become almost synonim for that party's theories. They might be willing to accept this sort of q call, for i. might appear to them to serve a double purpose, that of injuring the democratic party and faint hope of success, something which neither party that they represent has had for ten years past. We have talked with few B. of F. who favor ed B. of F. ticket but claimed to be democrats, who seemed to stress the fact that none but democrats would be on the ticket. What will these democrats think of this effort to give them this greenbacker and republican for their candidates in the next election? And then if only democrats were to be nominated, why not let them be nominated by the democrats in their own way. This thing is too thin, entirely too thln, and democrats can certainly see where it is drifting. If democrats want to change their politics, they
 have a right to do so, but it is a sad sight to see some of them fresh enough to be caught by this chaff. We would say to our democratic friends, those of them who stand in in the breeze of this new fangled po- litical alliance, don't bedraggle your democratic garments in any such dirt.

ONE of the burning disgraces of the republican party was the forma- tion or organization of the union league, secret political orgsniza- tion. The brothers of freedom are a secret organization, and, if they con. vert the order into politics, what will they be but secret political organ ization. If they want their order eternally doomed, just let them take such course, and then the thing is fixed, and it ought to be, for secret political conclave of any sort, is di- rectly opposed to the spirit of hu- man liberty and of american insti- tutlons.

TnE board oi trustees of the Al kansas Industrial University will meet in few days, and upon them will devoIve the duty or choosing 4 president of that institution.-- sue cessor to Gen. D. H. Hill. Great care should be taken not to make a mistake in his selection. No atten- tion whatever should be paid to the maudlin sentiment that asks or seeks to choose president without any regard to his religious opinions or political procIiv,tics. True, per haps, these ought not to form the ground of his selection, but tiiey ought to enter into the question of his fitness. and the former especially. No man should stand at the head of the Arkansas University to whom the most scrupulous could not een,
 init their children with. the utmost freedom without fear of taint to their moral training. Neither should any man be placed in the institution as instructor, professor or what not, whose religious conviction or sense of propriety is so wanting as to per init him to engage in the revelries of the banquet hall where champaign and red wines flow in torrents, and whose throat guzzles with the same alacrity and delight that is won't with the most experienced congress- man. It was our fortune or misfor- tune rather, at the recent session of the press association at Fayetteville, to set in close proximity to pro- lessor in the University whose con duct at the press banquet gave rise to the feelings just expressed, and without fear or favor, we say that no man who is not capable to lay !
 better example to the youth of the state than to freely handle the wine cup, is not the man to have charge of Arkansas boys at all. These are our sentiments, and we don't care
 who knows them. The good people of this state have been in an earnest effort, for three or four years past, to instiIl into the minds of the people
 the healthy, saving principle of tenn
 perance, and they demand that their state institution of, learning shall be in such hands as will instill these principles into the minds of their
 boys, or they will send them slse-
 where. They will not send their
 boys to any institution where the example of professors will do more devilment in a year or two than they can correct in the balance of thelr lives. We urge upon the board the
 utmost care in the selection of botE president and faculty.

IF we remember rightly, we asked the editor of the Atkins Reflector a question recently in regard to his political antecedent as to whether he had ever been greenbacker or not, tue which he has not answered. He intended to answer of course but simply forgot it. A man who has been a democrat for twenty. five years, ought not to allow his gar ments to get smirched at this late day, and then such a democrat ought to be getting up on his ear the least bit at the capers which are cut right under his nose. Come now, this fighting and running away bus mess is not just the proper thing at this particular time. A little expla
 nation will beat it to death. It's time, my friend, you were taking sides Tn this matter anyway. The country wants to know on which side you stand, and you ought to tell and tell quick, you might be shot by your friends. And then It is strange at titude for one to occupy who claims to be so outspoken. The Refectors present attitude construed in the the light of the present situation makes it necessary to probe it's edi- tors political antecedents some what to ascertain what the democracy may expect at his hands. The democrat ic party wants to know, and will know who its friends are, ana must properly mark them. We are per. forming service for the democracy by asking you the question. You will be performing one by simply an
 swering yes or no. Were you a greenbacker in Prairie county. Sim pie question, easily answered.

Correspondence of tho Democrat

Correspondence of the Democrat
 Farming IS moving of lovely about Appleton of late. The prospect for n good crop is at least fair. :. The Messrs. Bowden from Gravel Hill are here dolng good work with their we'll auger. Appleton can boast of the most and the best water of any village in the country. We think the primary election plan is decid- edly better than convention for the people to have their voices heard. The more power can be kept in the hands of the people, and the less power delegated from them is the better and more democratic. There is however, an effort being made by the republican party to nominate democrats and run them before our primary, and obligatc themselves to support the nominee, and come up and vote in our elections. and as they will have but one man for each of fee, and as he is to be democrat and get at least some democrat votes it will be very easy for them to thwart the purpose of our primary unless some active and fair means are devised Let the democracy meet the emergency, and let us have primary for and by the people of the democratic party. The republi- can move seems to be to break the democratic ranks with so CALLED democrats. Let us hold fast to our primary, and let it be run by demo crats, not republicans.
 Yours truly,
