NED WARREN, The Boss Oreenbacker, Tells Why
 He Prefers Congressman McRae Over Rev. MT. htt A Ringing Article Straight to the
 Point.
NED WARR EN,
ITe1nrkana Independent.

Col. F. A. Warren md lady were in Pres colt last Sunday He honored us with s pleasant call. Ho takes his Gresnback straght-Prescott Dispatch.
 Our contemporary states our position correctly. As previously and frequently announced, the ed itor of this paper is a staunch Greenbacker, and in conversation with Bro. Ansley on Sunday last relative to the candidacy of Rev. L, II. Hit, Jr., for Congress in this district, we repeated that whenever the Green6ack party brought out creditable and com petent men we would give them our earnest support, but until they did so, we would support accord ing to our judgement, the best men in the field, and that in the race between Mir. McRae and Mir. Hit our support would be given to Mr' McRae, as MT. Hit was not Greenback candidate, but had side.switched into the so- called labor movement. And by reason of this conversation our contemporary very correctly says that we take our "Greenback straight
 We have no unkind word to say of MT. Hit. We have known him long and well and his character Is high above reproach-we know him to be christian gentleman and a fervent minister of the gos. pei, but we do not believe him to be fitted for the position of . Con- gressman, and will not be a party to calling him from the high duties to which he was "called' by High CT Powers several years ago.
 Hon T c McRae has served the district one term, and served 1t most faithfully, too-he is well posted upon the politics of the country and the wants and neces' sites of the people, while his per sonal record, like that of MT. Hit, is high above reproach.
 As citizen ofArkansas one who loves our state aud feels a pride in the intelligence of our state and feels pride in the in telligeuce of our people, we want congress that will reflect cred it upon that intelligence, and we believe that every true citizen of Arkansas should work and vote with that object in view.
 The greenbackers of this con, gressional district have TO reason why their support should be given to Mir. Hit, while on the contrary, although working with the democ- racy, MT. McRae is very nearly in accord with the principles and platform of that party.
 In fact, as greenbackers, we lose caste and influence by side-switch- ing into every new movement that comes up, merely because they smack of opposition to the opposi- ton to the old parties-we iose the respect and confidence of the people-even lose our own self respect when we give our support to Incompetent men-wo have done that too much in Arkansas, did it until our party is well-nlgh "coalitioned'' out of existence, while if we had maintained high standard for official position, and supported only honest, compe- tent ond sober men for office, al though, perhaps unsuccessful, we would have maintained the conf deuce and respect of the people.
 Viewing the situation in this light, we shall not support Mr. Hit, but if no competent green packer, enters the race as green packer, and no better man than Mr. McRae enters the contest we shall advise and Irge the greeback CTS of this district to give hin their earnest support.
