Without Claims on Any Party.

Arkansas Gazette
 In an address to the voters of the Third Congressional,district in Arkansas, Judge c. E. Mitchell announces that
 do nat appear as the candidate of any party or convention, but as candidate, pledged, if elected, to do all in my power to promote the interest of Arkansas--iny na- tive state, and wotk for what I conceive to le tho best interests of the entire country,
 With these assurances, I ask your support, and trust that although may not see you in person before the election, you wiltell your neighbors of my candidacy.
 A member of congress who be. longs to no par ty, who is unable to act with any party, and who is the open enemy of the party in power, is not likely 10 prove of service to his constituents. This is Judge Mitchels position. He hastens to announce that he not "the can. didate of any party" But he ex- poets party men to elect him, that his ambition to be congressman may be gratiiied. He has nothin z to give them in retun. In congress he would be powerless. He would draw his pay, and if any of his inn mediate constituents desired chan ges made in offices in the distri they could be served only by ap. plying to other members from the state. There own members could do nothing for them. His collea- gues, whose party he seeks to dis troy. would not listen { o his sug. gestion. Practically, the district would remain unre presented du. ring his term.
 On the other hand, Mir. McRac, personally and politically, is in sympathy with our senators and rep resetatives, and politically in sym. pathy with the prcsiden and mem bers of the cabinet. He, in con- gress, will tLouroughly represent his district an q his state Judge Mitchell, if elected would repre- sent-Judge Mitchell. He owes nothing to larty, and party owes nothing to him.

To The Democracy of the 3rd District.

CAMDEN, ARK, Aug. 1, 1885. Alter spirited canvass for tho nomination, the Democracy of the Third Congressional District, in convention assembled, selected the Hon. Thos. c. McRae to repre. sent the District in Congress dur. ing the present term. Tho true Democratic spirit knows no other rule or law than obedience to tho decisions of the party in cOnven- tion, and no other position than in line with face to tho front.
 The election will be held on Monday, September 7th, and Dem- ocrats arc reminded that it will Do special election, the importance of which Is most truly measured by the wonderful neglect with which Democrats usually treat it's duties. We arc too prone to rest in fancied security as to It's results, on the idea that tho enemy is as criminally indifferent as we would cherish the privilege of being. There are few moro pitiablc ob- ects than 6 Democrat who has com. passed and contributed to his par. tvs defeat, by either neglecing to vote, or by failure to do his duty, on the theory that there are enough to win the victory without his help. It is to be hoped this spectacle will be less common at the coming spe. cal election than is usually the case.
 The Democratic convention pro. sented to the voters of the district and solicits their suffrage for a gen. tleman of high moral and intellect. ual worth. of sounH Democratic record and principles and one who Is no stranger to them. In this the party authorities have dealt falrly. sincerely and honorably with the party membership and the people at large, and the reciprocal Obliga. tion is upon them to deal as truly, as manly and as periodically by the party, It's candidate and the country.
 If there should be opposition, it is expected of every Democrat to show a clean record in the fight. If there should be no opposition (and we shall never know this un. til the latest hour 1t is nevertheless a good thing to keep ourselves in the habit of being at our post.

most active opponent, ever ready to unite with any political ccmbi. nation to accomplish it's overthrow. His action is based on the hope of uniting all tue political odds and ends in the Third district: he is spurred by desire to defeat the Democracy and deliver it into the hands of his enemies,
 Not standing as the. representa-. tative of any political party, or of any principle or aggregation of principles,no political.party, or prin ciple would be strengthened by Judge Mitcheps election, or weak cncd by his defeat. AS q member of congress he would in name rep. resent a democratic district, while in sympathy only with the ene- mics of Democracy. For tile small lest favor he would be compelled to ask the cooperation of demo- cratic colleages of whose political party he is the avowed enemy, and over whom he could not expect to exert the slightest influence. He would stand alone, entitled to no consideration by either majority or minority because not representing or claiming to speak for any politi :. cal party, living or dead.
 By permitting his election through the operations of the Third district would destroy their own representation in Washington. They would be without a voice that could be heard, They would lose every advantage offered by the advent of u democratic admin. istration.
 Whether qualification of Judge Mitchel's personal ambition to be- come a congressman is worth this sacrifice to the public at large not less than in their district, is ques- tion the true and tried democracy of the Third district will not fail to most satisfactorily answer at the polls on the 7th day of Sep tember.

Ohio COngratulates the Country.

The Democratic party of Ohio, in convention assembled at Colum- bus last week, nominated Govern or HOadly for reelection, and adopted a sound platform, mainly upon State issues, from which we extract the following blanks of National import:
 The Democracy of Ohio, in convention as- sembled, congratulates the country
 First. Upon the election and inauguration ofthe democratic candidate for president and vice-prcsident of the United States. These fortunate events. and the wise administration that has followed, have already dispelled the illusion that democratic success is inconsis- tent with the business interests of the coun- try, or pernicious to the rights of the freed man. The revival of prosperity and increase of value of property already begun, demon- stratc the bcnefcencc of democratic princi- ples, even before any sessions of congress have enabled the country to realize the full frui,ion of their application by legislation.
 Second. We congratulate President Ccve- land upon his cabinet, upon the auspicuous beginning they have made in the necessary reforms of the government. and heartily en- dorse their administration.
 Third. We approve the measures taken by democratic congress for preventing the acquisition of unearned lands by railroad companies, and of democratic president in firmly holding the public lands for public uses and in preventing their unlawful occu- dation.
 Fourth We affirm the platform of prin- ciples adopted by the democratic national convention held at Chicago in 1881.

THE unlawful occupancy and fencing up of vast areas of the pub lie domain by the bullock barons of the West, has been the subject of much complaint and dissatisfac- ton among the honest, law-abiding masses during the past few years. These enclosures embraced not on- ly thousands, but millions of acres. In not a few instances single syn dicates had whole tracts as large as several counties fenced up. Such occupancy and enclosure was not only wholly and entirely un. authorized by law, but it was strict ly prohibited. But notwithstand- ing this it was winked at, and tao itly, if not expressly, agreed to and sanctioned by the Republican Administration. Mir. Cleveland , however, looks upon it as dishon' est and unlawful, and some days ago issued his proclamation order ing the removal or distraction of all these enclosures. The Mar. shals have already commenced to enforce the proclamation. Sever- al arrests have been made, and one man who resisted the order has been shot through the leg and taught useful and honest lesson. The Residents proclamation is printed in full in this paper be- cause it is choice Democratic read ing.

 WHEN we voted for Mir. Cleve. land we had no idea he would ever permit such fellows as ex.Secreta ry Teller and Senator Bowen to come within gun shot range oi him, and we do not yet believe he ever will. It is true the names oi those two men may have been on the recommendation of Horse Thief Judd, of Colorado, for ap. pointment to a position in the De- partment of the Interior, but we do not believe they bad any weight with the President. We are more inclined to believe it was the en. of low down Colorado Democrats that procured the ap- pOintment.

"Empty Is the Party, Doiley's Conc!

One Elias Dolley, a Greenback er of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has bolted the action of his party in tusing with the Democrats, and amour ced himself candidate for Govern or. He has published a card to the Greenbackers of the State, in which he says;
 Whereas, Our party leaders for the second time have presumed to trade our vote to ;he democratic party, and
 Whereas, There is time when forbear- ancc ceases to be A virtue
 1 therefore announce to the grcenbackers of Iowa that am a bona flde grcenbacker and candidate for governor, and respec l. fully ask the support of all grcenbackcr' whose manhood an. whose self-rcspect will not allow them to be sold like slaves by their master, the devil.
 And their party leaders have been trading their votes to the Democrats, chi An, ha! We were not aware that Grcenback leaders ever did the like of that-that is, hardly ever. There must be some mistake about it. And there is a time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue with Greenbackers! We supposed as much, but still we were not sure of it. We presume it is when "their Dollcy'. takes a notion to run for Governor.
 But hello! What is this "their Dolley" says about Greenbackers all belonging to the dcvil' We hope he does not mean to say that. The PICAYUNE has often admon- ished them that if they did not be more careful they would all 90 to the devil, or words to that effect. But we had not the least idea that he had his clamps on them already, and we hope it is not true. We wish John Pittman would write "Eis Dolley" a letter and ask him to be a little more explicit upon this point. Will you do it, John ? You are the handiest man with a pen in your party

THE Democrats of the Third dis trict are much gratitied to see the Arkansas Gazette making it's great influence felt in their behalf in the contest now pending. There has scarcely been day during the past fortnight that the Ga zette has not contained an exceptionally strong and well-writ ten editorial upon the importance of electing the Democratic nominee and defeating his Bohemian com. petitor. The Old Lady has our most grateful thanks, and if we thought she would stand it, we would tell her that she is mighty purty."

HON. JOIN II. REAGAN again declines to be candidate for Gov ernor of Texas, saying that he pre- fers to remain in Congress, where he believes he can be of greater service to his State by pressing fer an appropriation to procure deep water at Galveston, and to the country a: large by continuing to hammer away on his bill to regu- late interstate commerce, and aid ing the tariff refOrmers. Mir. Req gan, though not brilliant. is a very safe, sturdy statesman. and his re. tircment from Congress even to be Governor ofthe great State of Tex. as, would be no inconsiderable loss to the country at-large.

Proclamation by the President.

Whereas, public policy demands that public dominion shall be re- served for the occupancy of actual settlers in good faith, and that our people who seek homes upon such domain shall in no wise be ?reven. ted by any wrongful interference from safe and free entry thereon to which they may be entitled; and: Whereas. To secure and main tain this beneicient policy a stat ute was passed by tho Congress of the United States on the 25th day of February, in the year 1885, which declared to be unlawful any inclosure of any public lands in any State or Territory to any of which land included within said inclosure the person, party, association or corporation making or controlling such inclosure had no claim or col or of title made or acquired in good faith, or an asserted right thereto by or under claims made in good faith with a view to entry thereof at the proper land office, and which statute also prohibited any person by force, threats, intimidation, or by any fencing, inclosure or other unlawful means, from preventing or obstructing any person from pea cably entering upon or establishing settlement or residence on any tract of public land subject to set clement or entry under the public land laws of the United States, and from preventing or obstructing free passage or transit over or through the public lands; and. Whereas, It is by the fifth sec tion of said act provided as follows: That the President is hereby au- thorized to take such means as shall be necessary to,remove or des- troy any unlawful inclosure of any of said lands, as may be necessary for that purpose" and
 Whereas. It has been brought Ito my knowledge that unlawful in- closures, and such as are prchibi' ted by the terms of the aforesaid statute, exist upon the public do- main, and that legal settlement thereon is prevented and obstruc- ted by such inclosures. and by force, threat and intimidation;
 Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleve- land, President of the UnitedStates, do hereby order and direct that any and every unlawful inclOsure of the public lands maintained by any person, association or corpOr- ation be immediately removed, and l do hereby forbid any person, association or corporation from preventing or Obstructine by means of such inclosure, or by force, threats intimidation, any person entitled thereto from peacably entering upon and estab- | fishing settlement or residence on any part of such public land which is subject to entry and settlement under the laws of the United Stats.
 And I command and require each and every officer of the Uni ted states upon whom the duty is legally devolyed to cause this or der to be obeyed, and all.the pro- visions of the act of Congress here in mentioned to be faithfully en- forced.
 In testimony whereof I have hereuntO set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

JusT the idea of the Farmer Clubs supporting Mitchell for Con- gress Why, the Judge has lived in town all his life, and up to ten days ago he could not have told a ruta- -gaga turnip from a pumpkin if his election had depended upon It. No. he could not! Why. he had no more idea than the man in the moon what a ruta.baga was, and he wrote cOnfidentially to "Un- cl e Bully' Ferguson, one of his field-marshals at this place, to know if pumpkins did net grow on trees, like hOrseapples, and "Uncle Bully" promptly respondedi "fes, consarn your ugly picture, pump kins grow on trees like hOssap- pies, only more so, and l want you to get that important truth by heart and pull on that Farmer Club tow line with it for all it is worth. If you don't, Tom McRae is going to beat you" Yes. he did!

From the Arkansas Gazette
 In his present attitude Judge Mitchell is not entitled to the sup, port of any living political party for he disclaims fealty to any one He claims simply to be "indepen dent"--a meaningless phrase in politics. He cannot claim the sup port of greenbackers, for he re fuses to be classed a member Of that party, though anxious to se- cure the votes of men who call themselves greenbackers. He can not claim the support of republi- cans, for though looking to them for most of his votes, he refuses to be classed as republican,. He certainly cannot claim the support of Democrats, For three years he has persistenly, sturdily and open ly fought the democrat party in his section of the State. He is its

WE acknowledge the corn: When the PICAYUNE went out last week it was loaded tor bear, and we thought it had "Uncle Bully" Fer guson down sure. But if it did it did not keep him so more than two hours and half. After read ing it, "Uncle Bully" slapped him. self on the leg, gave vent to a reg ular guffaw, and then calling up a crowd of the best laughers in town addressed them as follows:
 By jingoss, as little as you may think it, the PIcAYUNE does stagger mp on the truth once in a while. It says that in elections I always pick out the most undeserving man in the field and vote for him. guess that's SO. At the last election picked out Bunk White and voted for him.

 There are few more crafty men than Bully Ferguson. He always knows a better way of settling with the editor than taking thrashpole to him. If the PICAYUNE had made such a remark about some men whose names we might men tion. they would not have scrupled to put tho whole force to the in- con venience of jumping out the back window and hiding in the weeds three or four times day for a week.
