 Iu brief, this is tlie record Of Ar Ikansas democracy in twelve years. i When, or where, has it been cqualed 1 fer intelligent, patriotic devotion to| the moral interests Of the people? l Who can successfully impoach its But this is not all. While largely reducing the public debt; while sub stituting good for bad management; while reducing the state taxes from over l ? tn mills, and while restor- | ing pubic confidence and aiding in way to rebuild the fortunes of tue people, democratic management has not only amply sustained the public schools, but has also furnised at heavy expense long needed asylum for the insane, new asylum for the blind, greatly enlarged tue capacity Of the penitentiary, and made i'm. provements in the state house suflic tent for the pubic needs for many years.
 The destructive elements whose record is so hateful to the people, and whose power for mischief was destroyed in 1874, have labored long to renew their grasp on the state. They have left nothing undone to be restored to . position enabling them to once more control the public reve- nues and restore their broken for tunes. No combination promising even the ghost of chance for sue cess has found them missing when plotting against democracy was Tn order. Not long ago they rallied to the grccnbackers. For some time past they have been quietly grasplng the Agricultural Wheel, stimulating and directing the ex-democrats whom | possession of sorcLeads and dlsap pointed ambition has drifted into an tagonism to democracy. The old lieutenants of Clayton have taken possession and control of the xdem- ocratic weddings, and by adroit ap- peals to their vanity are pushing them on to certain destruction. To the old followers of Clayton 1.-the Sarbers, the Benjamins, the Mo Crackens and the Murphys-all is fair in politics. They can lose noth- ling. They argue that something may be gained. They are not the dupes, but the men who dupe tue dupes. If they win, all right. If they fail, nothing is lost.
 l The democrats of Arkansas will look beyond 1874. They will review the acts of the period spanned by the twelve years between 1874 and 1886. l And they as one man will declare that the clements that wrought the ruin from which democracy rescued the state shall never be restored, no matter how skillfully they may seek to fight behind mask. Sarbcr and
 his co workers have changed their tactics. But they are tue enemies of the people they were when democra- Icy seized them by the throat and 1 hurled them from place and power.

LET democratic clubs in every township be organized at once. Go to work at once. Let meeting be called and every one enrolled who will give his name. There IS noth- ing like organization. There is nothing to keep. any democrat from going to work and organizing club in his township. He can get him a list and tackle every democrat to put his name down, and there ought to be no such thing as stopping until the name of every democrat in the county is enrolled.

PRoF. J. Hazen Shinn never drew . breath in his life that wasn't dem- ocratic, and yet we learn the state nent was made in the convention at London last Saturday that he came back to Arkansas republican, and the abatement carried the township against him. This IS on par with other matters used in the county to defeat him.

IF Battle for supreme judge, and Woodruff for treasurer, were good
 enough for the wheelers, why in the .rsne of common sense wasn't the balance of the democratic ticket? Not word was sad against any of them more than was said against Rattle and wocdrnh, and, if demo cratic rule was pernicious, why not these men too as they constitute a large element in it? The game is plain. It's muslin garb is too rrail ~"shly to conceal the purpose of the

THE temperance meeting last Mo

THE temperance meeting last Mon day night very properly decided on some active work. It appointed committees to attend and organize temperance clubs at Dover, Atkins, Potts Station, Gumlog, London and perhaps other places at an early day, or as such time as can be arranged for at the places designated. The object IS to organize for the purpose of holding our present status on the temperance question. Let the good people turn out and rally in this good cause.

The Democratic Record.

There is here and there just enough complaint among some democrats to call forth an article showing to some extent, at least, that much of this grumbling is out of place and we shall proceed to show thls to be true. It is well known that the democratic party went into power as party of reform. But little oyer a year has elapsed since the executive function has been exercised by democrat. Abuses created in quarter of a cen. tury, by party strongly entrenchel, and excrting it's power in an era of prodiglous expenditure, reached enormous proportions, and many of them became so intcrtwined with !e gitimate enterprises as to be difficult to separate. With an enormous ex penditure, political offices, from be coming posts of honor and public trust, became valuable for the oppor- tunities they gave for the acquire ment Of wealth, and from being the creation of the people, became the prize of the one who would use mon cy the most lavishly, and so grad ually passed out of popular control. Public property, instead of being re served for public use. was squan- dered, given away with the lavish hand of a gambler who throws away the treasure he controls but dld not acqnire. Syndicates of capital were allowed to take whatever public property that suited them Valua ble franchises were sold to corpora tons, and bribes secured that official indifference that won what could rot be secured in open debate. Banks were given powers that belonged to the government Corporations were favored with enormous loans, and q political pollution scarcely equalled in the most dissolute periods was rocking the social atmosphere of the nation.
 It was under such conditions that the democracy went into power as the party of reform, and this power was so diluted by senatorial obstruc- ! ton that it's work vas unayoidably hampered. But that it has not been false to it's pledges the result in lit tie more than one ear gives gratify ing evidence. That 1t has not done more is due to their prodieious quan- tity and the difficulties Of their re moval, and also to the opposition ol the republican party that yet con trols tie stronghold of monopoly tue senate. That there also has been impatience was natural to peo pie who felt the effects Of these pro l found abuses, without understandlne the enormous difficulties involved in l their removal.
 l Mir. Cleveland has proven one thing, and that is hls honesty. He has stood like wall between the as saults of his enemies, the mistakes of his friends, upon the pledges upon which he toek his office And tbe doubts that obscured him from the public vision are clearing away, as one after another of the abuses are attacked and destroyed, and great corporations anlI individuals arc compelled to respect the law aloi , with the humblest citizen.
 Nearly 50.000,000 acres of lansl have been reclaimed and suits arg entered upon twice as much more. The rottenest navy In tue world is being renovated, out of less money
