ELSEWHERE will be found the an
nouncement of Col. Poindexter Dunn
for reelection as Representative of
the First Congressional District.
Arkansas never had an abler or more
faithful representative Nhan Poin-
dexter Dunn, and the people Of the
First District realize and appreciate
that fact. His reelection therefore,
is foregone conclusion, and were it
left to his constituency of the first
district, his promotion to the Sena-
torship would be just as certain to
follow. Col. Dunn is as conspicu-
Gus and as much respected in the
House as Mr.. Garland is in the Sen
ate. He is ever watchful and vigil
liant in the interest of the people,
and in the discussion of issues is al
ways plain and aims directly at the
point. The people Of the first dis
trict can't afford to go back on Col.
Poindexter Dunn.
The Osceola times., 1884-04-19

"The friends of Senator Walker,
of Arkansas, are very earnestly at
work. Tor his reelection, with good
reasons for believing that they will
be successful. Many equally able
men offer for the place and are men
toned as likely to contend for it,
but Mr.. Walker has been so faithful
to his trust that no good reason can
be assigned for succeeding him by a
man new to the place and its duties.
- Memphis is-Appeal.
If any change must be made, we
submit that Col. Poindexter Dunn
with his prestige in the lower House,
and his knowledge and familiarity
with the ins and outs, as well as the
duties of the position, would certain
ly be the most available man to sue
ceed senator Walker. Everything
else being equal, six years service
at the capitol would certainly give
him a decided advantage over any
new man in forcing recognition in
the United States Senate.
