THE dispatches published this morn
ing give account Of one of the unnatural
fluctuations in grain, consequent upen
speculation in the staple products of the
country. Corn sold in Chicago for cash
and September Mt 7SIs cents, while for
October it was selling at ~ cents. Corn
yesterday in that market sold cents
higher than No. 2 spring wheat. Tho
real value Of corn, probably, is from 80
to G0 cents. The spectators who sold
short will be heavy losers, while those
who made the corner on corn may bo
millions ahead. Settling day in Chicago
Is on tho 18th Of each month, and in the
next two or three days corn may adj
vance TO 30 cents.

THE Austin Statesmen was one OF the
journals Of the State and country that
tried to ignore The BLAINE scandal, and
refused to publish anything regarding
it outside Of dispatches. Now it says it
chad hoped never again to sec this mat
ter in the public print II has frequently
condemned the attacks upon BLAINE's
private character in this respect, but now
when he Is driven to make this cowardly,
whining, canting admission, We lose all
respect Tor. the man and feel that he il
too contemplate to receive the support
OF any man for any place. Avoidance Of
truth appears in every line Of what he
statos. II bears out the character of the
man in public life. He has lied in this
case, and after assuming the role of the
bully hebecomes tho sneaking coward,
driven to the wall by the very agency
he attempted to use in bullying. Lot us
consign the poor creature to retirement
where he belongs"

THE Republican convention meeting

like the man told of 10y SAN WELLER,
who killed himself eating crumpots "on

rection, however, Is certainly moro reas-
enable than that NJ the mongrcls who
are fully assured OF defeat, but prefer
the rottenness of political intormcnt to
decent cremation. Resoluto adherence

tainly moro than utter abandonment Of
all decent regard to former convictions

An Appeal TO the Demo.
crafs Of Mississippi
County, Ark.

Shall we organize, or shall we sit
supinely and allow the Republican
party which is greatly in the minor
ity, step in and capture all of our
county ofices9
1t is well known that the whole
power Of the Federal patronage will
be brought to bear in the South, and
especially in Arkansas, to gain eve
ry inch Of ground possible. AS to
the result of the State election, there
can be no doubt; but in every coun-
ty, where there is any prospect Of
success, they will contend for every
thing in sight. Democrats Of Mis-
sissippi County! you may rest assur-
ed that there will be Republican
ticket in the field for nearly, if not
all, the county Offices. Let us take
the Democratic vote of Mississippi
county and divide it up between any
three or four candidates who may be
contending for any one Office about
1900 democratic votes were polled
for Governor at the last election
you can readily see what the result
would be, even divided between two.
The Republican vote is about 700
or over; they are well organized, and
will have but one candidate in the
field for each Office. l appeal to
every true Democrat to weigh and
ponder well these facts, between
now and the 31st of May. With you
rests the question, whether or not a
large majority shall be defeated by
a minority? Trust not that candi-
date who tells you that he is solid
Don't you know that every candi-
date would be elected if he were to
receive every vote promised him?
and don't you know that one half Of
the people will promise, with men,
tai reservation,) a man bis vote sim
ply TO get rid of him, and save his
wife, and daughters, the trouble and
worry of cooking and waiting upon
him? Every man who has any fol-
lowing will not hesitate to submit
his claim before a convention, and
at once put a stop to the custom Of
Office seekers roaming over the coun-
ty from May to September, eating
you out of house and home. Doubt
less some chronic sorehcads will cry,
" "Fraud!" "Osceola Rlng'' or some
thing OF the kind; and well he may
for he must have some excuse for
sponging on the "dear people for
his next three or four months board.
Remember the 31st. of May, and let
us have an instructed delegation from
every Township in the County.
