 they are county council meetings, held at Dover, the county scat where the other county council was held, where county gatherings generally are held. Why go out to Gum Log and Mt. Enon? There is but one reason and that is plain. There was but one way to have dealt with this question of E. of F. ticket honora- bly, and that was, to have submitted it to fair square test before the whole order on full notice, but as we understand it, the call was for those lodges that favored It only, and there was a strong movement in the meeting at Gum Log to expell all who opposed ticket As 1t now stands, the move is that Of place hunters, and the ticket will be . bastard, begotten in unholy ambi- tion and through disreputable meth ods, and will meet all ignominious death.

TIE state is interested, if in any thing at all, in seeing to it that her ablest, best, and most efficient men are called to represent her in the councils of the nation. She cannot afford to consent to the elevation oi mediocrlty to those positions which ought to be utilized ,@ her glory as well as her interest and advance ment. In all countries there are only a few who stand upon the top round, who can meet the require ments in every particular, who com bine the elements of greatness Tn such symmetry as to lack Lothing to the naked eye. A few of them live in Arkansas, and Judge w. w. Mansfield of Ozark IS among the number. Taking him in his social, moral, and intellectual qualifications, his fitness cannot be surpassed, if equaled, by any other citizen in the state for the high position of United States Senator.

THE Illinois township convention on last Saturday was rousing, en- thnsiastic concern. lots of vim and fire, but all well enough bridled and controlled to be kept in due limits Until enthusiasm rises so high as to overlcap the boundaries of judgment and reason, it is seryiceable, useful, aud calculated to do good. The en- thusiasm of last Saturday was such as characterize earnest men in the pursuit of honorable purposes. It was just such as indexed the will and power that guides and controls in the democracy of this section. He would have had removed very far from his minds the idea of anything like death in the democracy of Hi nois township, .ho would have looked in upon her convention last Saturday.

BLAINE and Logan were tue re

BLAINE and Logan were tue resul, of the republican convention at Chi cago. These be the men whom fate has selected for the republican de. feat of 1884. This is the first in- stance since Grant, of the selection ol one of it's leaders as candidate by that party, and this tune it selected it's most prominent leaders and bit ter partisans, and one of them the most bitter hater of the south. This ticket is perhaps as good as any that could have been selected, for, if the misfortune of another republican ad- ministration should befalI this coun- try, which we don't think will, we don't think of any one on that side of the house we would prefer to see wear the chief honors than the man from Name, If he did write that Mercy letter,-and, if the mantle of success is to fall on democratic shoulders. we know of no one in the world we would sooner see beaten than the Illinois grammarian.

WE learn that Esq. Tobey Tn the magnitude of his great soul declared recently in a B. of F. meeting, that the republicans had been disfrau
 chised for the last ten years. .and that the democrats had been disfranchised five years previous. He was there fore willing to bury the hatehet, and strike hands with the republicans, Esq. Tobey's enthusiasm simply walked off with his senses, or else he never would have given utterance to such huge piece of loolishness Democrats have been disfranchised in Pope county, yes we can testify to that, but when were republicans dis franchised? An objection has occas ionally been urged against them voting in democratic primary cleo tions, and this must he Esq. T's dis franchisement. Well, are Tot dem ocrats refused participation in repub lican mattcrsY Then are we all dis
 iranchised. We pity the man who is 80 hard put to it for material for T little gush We have heard Of taay, taffy tulu, racket, bosh, and all that but this crowns it all as pure spec imen of tomfoolery and nonsense.

IN another place will be found 2 communication from c. E. Tobey, in
 which he.frets little under the fire of last weeks DEMOCRAT. This com munication will strike one as very peculiar, especially in it's claim that every one of the doctrines of the grecnbackers can be found in dem
 ocratic platforms. We had thought the doctrines Of the z. b. party origi- nal, and did not know before that they were borrowed. But, if they are borrowed from democratic platforms, and are opponents of democratic doctrines, how is that Mir. Tobey is not democrat? But he says lie is, Then why is he not in the democrat ic fold? He says he is not there be cause he Sis in favor of a third party to force the democratic party to ad- vocate democratic principles" This IS new mode of reform, and has the characteristic any way of being unlike anything ever seen before, It's like forming a league with the forces of the devil to reform the in
 consistencies of church members, or more like the petty tyrant who ex- poands theories and doctrines to suit himself, and then cllngs to his own notions, let the worst come to the worst, and when he can't carry his own way with his associations, goes out and forms a league with their enemies or forms third party to wreak vengeance on them. Mir. To bey defies democrats to show when or how he deserted democratic prin- cipies. Well there is an open ques- tion here, and we would like for MT. Tobey to say which is to be the judge of what democratic principles are, the democratic party or Mir. To bey? If the latter, then perhaps he IS a democrat, and the great dem ocratic party is something else: but if the former, then Mir. Tobey is the something else. The question sim. ply resolves itself into which is the biggest man the democratic party or Mir. Tobey, Tn which case the party has at any rate the advantage of be- ing called by the democratic name, while Mir. T. in his coat of many nection with democratic faith.

THE county convention meets next Saturday in Dover. 1t will be an interesting and enthusiastic meeting. It's duties will be few and simple, provided there IS no deadlocks on state candidates, or misunderstood ing of rules to be laid for the prima " election.

 Whereas, The President agreed to do the same under his official sig. nature, but having utterly failed to do so, therefore be it
 Resolved, That we the under signed members of Centre Polnt lodge No. l39, E. of F., regard the convention held at Centre Vallev on May 3lst as an illegal body, and that. we ale not bound by it's action, but are still bound by the action of the County Council until such action is abrogated by proper authority, ard as that course was ignored by the Centre Valley meeting on the 3ist, we can not participate in the con yention called to meet at CaglesyllIe on the third Saturday m June to nominate candidates, and call upon all who do not wish to he called bolt CTS to refuse to have anything to do with said convention.

BECAUSE we gave little squint at the dirty, bloody history of the Re. publican party in Pope county in g recent issue of the DEMOCRAT, the Arkansas Republican of Morrilton gets up on it's ear and cavorts.

WE learn that meeting of citi. zens of London and vicinity, held a meeting Tn London on last Saturday evening in regard to the convicts now at work in the rock quarry near Georgetown. It is said that the meeting resolved to notify the super intendent of the convicts to leave the county in ten days, or further steps would be taken to enforce theii departure. This is a vigorous step, but one not surprising, as it simply was a step of that community to rid themselves of a nuisance. Meas ures should be adopted by the next legislature to keep the convlcts with. in the confines of the penitentiary walls.

ANY democrat. and as for that

ANY democrat, and as for that mat. ter, any other man of intelligence who loves open handed, fair dealing, who wouldn't choose the honorable, open methods of the democratic par ty which are always published to the world, before the methods of the men now engaged in trying to force the B. of F. into political machine, certainly has a small appreciation of honor and integrity among mankind, No notice of the meeting at Centre Valley on last Saturday, nor it's ob- jects, although the president oi the county council was present at the time and place at which the meeting was decided upon, and was requested to have notice of it pub lished in the county papers, some how or other, had ever seen the light. The Scripture says something about men loving darkness rather than light when their deeds are evil, for if they are not, there is no necessl
 ty for any cover. The meeting, al
 though forgotten to be published, was not forgotten by these fellows, for we are informed that they rode over the county working it up per sonally, but why wasn't tpublished,

Snrinef;eId Revival Work.

Correspondence of the Democrat. A few lines from this place, will doubtless be read with some interest by some of your readers.
 l I left Russellville on the 27th ult., at the pressing solicitation of my brethren here; and since that day I have been in the midst of one of the most wonderful revivals of religion that ever witnessed. The like has never been known in the history of thIs county. The wave has reach. ed every house in the town, and for miles around. The whole surround ing country is under the influence. The people work hard all day and come Tn by wagon loads at night, some have come as far as twelve miles, while many come from four to seven to get within the gracious in fiuence. They have been drawn here from miles away as by magical in. fiuence and converted before they get away. The end, we hope, is not Iyet.
 I have been at work night and day since l came here, and it has been my privilege to see some Of the best friends have on earth converted to God and come into the church. My soul magnifies the Lord for what he has done, and my poor heart longs for a spread Of the work. I hope it will continue until it sweeps round my own loved charge, and until It touches the bosom of every church in the entire land.
 About B have been converted, and 3S have joined the church to date.
 go from here to Quitman, in obedience to the order of Bishop Granbary. to visit Quitman College. The compencement sermon will be preached Sunday the Sth, by the Rev J. F. Hall of Conway.
 I will be at home about the 12th or 18th inst. God bless all my friends and interests at Russellvllle.
