ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.I

LITTLE Rock, Ark, September s.
The politicians have finished the can
vass in the country and now the ty
is receiving their at ention. Col. W.
S. Oliver, the Republican car didate
for Sheriff, has donned his big dia-
mond, which he says is the "leAvins"
of his official career as Sheriff. aud he
struts the stteets with the dignity OF
king. Watt Workman, the truly
Democratic standard bearer, whose
desires are far less avarit ious
than thosa OF Oliver, although he
points to an official career several
years in excess OF that OF tie Diamond
King, is sali;fisd, and does sport the
left mind foot of graveyard rabbit,
the "coiton tail" having been slam at
~ o'clock OF night, in accordance with
the negro view Of good luck, and he
says he will bury Oliver in his
POLITICAL GRAVE
next Monday, or all sigus will be a lie.
Every p,ecsuiion has been taken TO
prevent the Republican repeatsrs get
ting in their work On this occasion,
and Wortben says that il any men =
tempt, to cast moe than one vote he
will slap h m in Jail and keep him
there until tbs courts can deal with
him. The vote has been booked for
the entire county, canvass having
bsen taken in each township, ano
it will be next to impossible
for the whole' ale repeating heretofore
existing AT elections in this county
to be perpetrated. II is an cd Re-
publican trick to have come one or
more of their henchm N tear up the
Democratic tickets displayed It the
polls on the morning OF election, but
tn s
PIKCE OF "scULDUGGERY"
has been provided for in the arpoin'-
ment of a Democratic Cit q ns' Com
miltee for each poll in the unity, who
will see that noth;og of this kind gees
on. Mr.. M. II. Hail is chairman Of
the General Committee, and all who
know him are satisfied that only fair
play will be INDUCED in. All plac; OF
business will be closed during the co.
tire day, it being the purpose OF our
merchants and property owners to de-
vote the day to the perpetuat'on OF
the present Democratic administra
ton OF the county. 1t has recently
been discovered that the county has
about 1909 mora white than cJlored
voters, Notwithstanding Oliver has
heretofore 80 corrupted the ballot box
as tn cause q preponderance OF some
1900 colored votes at all cleo iJns here
toiore held in this county.
MR.. FERGUSON
the labor candidate for Sheriff, has
withdrawn from the rsce, aud advises
his friends TO support the Democratic
ticket. Worthen charges, and Oliver
does not deny 1t, that Oliver offered to
sell out the Republican party OF the
county four years ago for SIC 10, but
Pulaski eounty's honest officials in
formed Col. Bell that he did not wish
to reach position by buying of his OF
position. 1t Is also charged that o |.
yer realized $4,000 out OF the Sher-
ifs office during bis stay in Office
The people OF the county, the tax
payers, are not to be blamed for desir.
ing to denounce him.
