The republican press, as is it's
wont, is always harpiDg about demo
cratic division, and portion Of the
democratic press actuated by their
fears, give place sometimes to gloomy
forebodings on this account. 1t is a
fact that goes without saying, that
there is too much division IN the
national democracy, but why should
democrats pine so long as there is
the same amount Of division in the
ranks of our enemy TO of set our own,
and give us an even fighting chance
on this score, the only thing over
which there is any solicitude. New
Ell cross river until you get to it.
Just before the meeting OF the pres
ent Congress all of our republican
friends and some democrats as well,
saw war and bloodshed brewing over
the question of the Speakership. But
Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Cox took their
defeat as philosophical as Mr.. Car
isle would have done in their posi-
ton. And when the democratic par
ty assemblies in their national con
vention to name the next President
OF The United States, the very digni
" of the work in hand, and the won
dcriul amount of sense and wisdom
which viii preside over the body,
via conpel the dispersion Of divis-
ions, and union OF hearts and
hands for the victory OF lce4, and
such will be the case.

We heard the opinion expressed
in regard to the effort of Mr.. VIM.
Flynn to shoot Mr. Prewitt, in the
Capitol hotel in Little Rock recently,
that the pretty thing would have
been for those nearest him at the
time to have ornamented the upper
end OF the nearest lamp post with
his corporal identity. This opin-
lon was based upon the fact that n
man who utterly ignores the rights
and safety of others, and utterly
disregards times, places or circum.
stances in his reckless vent of pas
sion, places himself outside of the
limits OF the sorbearance of mankind,
and that society ought to rise up and
rid itself of any such a creature.

IT takes republican investigat-
ing com mittee to illustrate the linn
it's of folly to which that party can
60. The late committee, republican
of course, appointed to investigate
the Copiah county troubles in Mis-
sissippi, held its session in New Or
leans, and sent for persons and pa
pers. 1t wanted to set far enough
away we suppose to keep from hear
ing the truth. Its object was to
manufacture case to order and it
could do this bette: in New Orleans
than right on the spot where the
troubles occurred. Justice is the
last thing thought Of, much less
practiced, by this great party Of NOR
al ideas, and especially when mate
rial for bloody shirt is wanted.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION.
Official Call-Basls of County
Represent atiOn.

At meeting OF the Democratic
State Central Committee, held in the
city OF Little Rock. March IL, 1884,
it was resolved by the committee
that convention of the Democratic
party of the State of Arkansas be
called to assemble in the city of Lit.
tie Rock, at II o'clock, m, on We'd
nesday, June %, 1884, for the, pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
the state offices to be voted for at
the general election, on the first
Monday in September.
1t was further resolved by the
committee that the basis of repre-
sentation shall be one vote for each
four hundred votes, and one vote for
fraction over two hundred votes cast
for James II. Berry, the democratic
candidate for governor in 1882; Pro
vided, that each county slal! be en-
titled TO at least one delegate.
1t was further resolved that the
county conventions be requested to
designate by name the proxies they
desire to represent them in the con
vention in the absence of their reou.
lar delegate or delegates.
The committee resolved further to
provide seats IN the convention for
only the number Of delegates which
each county is entitled to and set
out in full below.
IL was further resolved by the
committee that in view of the fact
that the congressional districts Of
the state have been reformed and in
creased since the date of the last
state and congressional conventions,
whereby the committees have broken
up, this committee recommends that
the county conventions empower
their delegates to the state conven.
tion to recognize the democratic ex.
ecutive committees for che severa.
congressional districts OF the state.
Now, therefore, in pursuance of

TILDEN'S ULTI1ATUM.
II will be matter Of Interest To-
our readers, ID view o. the promi
hence 81 the question as to who shall
be the next democratic candidate
for president, and the relation which
Mr. Tilden's name bears to it, to
have any information that maysindi-
cate his feelings and desires, and es-
|pecially since tue idea or the old
ticket seems to have taken on new
forms of life. The following from
the st. Louis Post Dispatch will
doubtless be OF interest to the many
democratic voters in this section,
and cause of regret to the friends
of the old ticket. If Mr.. Tilden were
younger and stronger man. it is al
together possible that he would carry
off the prize at Chicago, although he
is not the best exponent OF the par
tvs faith and principles. But he
could carry New York. The Post
Dispatch says:
The interview between Mr.. Til.
den and Mr.. Clark Howell, managing
editor OF the Atlanta Constitution,
has all the ear marks of pre- arrange
ment and authority. In that inter-
view Mr. Tilden says:
"In my letter, four wears ago, /
stated why | would not allow the use
OF my name. 1t was discrcditcd.
The same reasons now urge; they
have become stronger, for | am four
years older and am more infirm now
than then. | would urge that the
idea be discontinued, for it is not
right that / should undertake to do
that which ! am physically unable to
do"
Being asked il he could resist. the
call and reject the nomination Of
his party, he said:
II should have to. / have served
it faithfully, until am now unable
to undergo the exertions which, in
case of my election, / should have to
make. 1t can be done without me.
| could not stand the physical effort.
| would not disappoint my party.
My name must not be considered"
Mr.. Howell says this was said with
positive firmness, and that, raising
his voice above the whisper in which
he had spoken, Mr.. Tilden repeated
the words: 81 could not stand the
physical effort. would not disap.
point my party" Being told that the
general verdict Of the party now
points with certainty TO the old tick.
ct at Chicago, Mr.. Tilden said" Yes.
and | appreciate it, but will not al
low the use Of my name"
This is not only confirmatory Of
the reports of Dana, Watterson and
others of Mr.. Tilden's nearest friends
as to his feelings and intentions, but
it is plainly the nearest approach to
a peremptory and formal notice
which delicacy will permit Mr.. Til
den to serve on his party at this time.
1t is a distinct warning that Mr.. Til
denis friends in the Chicago conven
ton will be forbidden to allow his
name to be considered, and will be
armed with a letter warning the con-
vention that he cannot accept its
nomination.
To talk about the old ticket in the
face of these repeated declarations is
to send the party off on wild goose
chase after unattainable things, and
Mr.. Tilden feels the importance of q
timely concentration of public atten-
ton upon the selection if some other
man to head the ticket.

We are under many obligations TO
our friends for the increased inter
est manifested for the DEMOCRAT as
indicated by increasing subscrip-
tions. and other favors. We appreci-
ate very much being placed in closer
sympathy with our whole people.
Our aim is to make the DEMOCRAT a
paper for the people and as near the
expression of their best interests as
we know how. No pains, trouble or
expense will be spared to bging it up
to the highest degree of excellence
which is possible to be obtained.
The DEMOCRAT will be unusually in
terestin9 this year especially, as it
will contain the canvass as it devel-
ops from time to time in the county,
state and nation. We call upon
friends to assist us in placing the
DEMOCRAT in wider range of crcu-

WORLD S W. c. r. q.
The National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, has taken preliminary steps
towards securing in all parts of the worlds
a concert Of prayer for the temperance
cause. The noon hour Of each day has
been designated, ever since the crusade,
as time for individual lifting of the heart
and now it is suggested that, in addition
to this, Thursday afternoon be the time for
temperance prayer meeting, to be held
weekly, or less often, as may be deter
mined in the different localities. This.
concerted prayer, by women in all nations.
for the overthrow of the poison habits Of
all races, isrendered possible. and we urge
attention to this as the very best kind of
beginning. The temperance ladies' have
consulted with sleading :. missionaries, us
well as workers in that great cause. and
have found help and encouragement on
every hand. They have also appointed
Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt Of Boston, who
has for a year been working on the Pacific
coast, under the auspices of the National
w. G.. T. q. to make reconnaissance in the
Sandwich Islands, Australia, and perhaps
India, China, and Japan visiting the mis-
sionaries of those countries and endeavor-
ing to introduce the w. q. T. q. methods
and to provide for a helpful interchange of
sympathy and work by which the influence
Of the Gospel temperance movement shall
eventually belt the world. May this ear.
nest, gifted christian lady be abundantly
blessed in her Gospel embassy, and find
welcome in the hearts and homes Of the
christians everywhere.
