gan to shine again. Useless ex- penses were reduced or cut off. The taxes were lowered. The revenues were properly applied. The vast volume of floating scrip was redeemed and destroyed. Whenever a debt could be paId it was paid. Whenever dollar could be saved it was saved. Whenever mismanagemet could be prevented it was prevented. Whenever good work could bo done in increased eflicincy of ad ninistration and reducing the pub lie burdens it was done.
 In brief, this is tie record of Ar kansas democracy in twelve years. When, or where, has it been equal cd for intelligent, patriotic devo- tion to the material interests of the people, Who can successful ly impeach iti
 But this is not all. while largely reducing the public debt; While substituting good for bad manage ment; while reducing the state tax es from over 12 to 1 mills, and while restoring public confidence and aiding in every way to rebuild the fortunes of the people, demo- cratic management has not only amply sustained the public schools, but has also furnished at heavy expense long needed asylum for the insane, new asylum for the blind, greatly enlarged the ca pacity of the penitentiary, and made improvements in the state house sufficient for tho public needs for many years.
 The destructive clements whose record Is so hateful to the people, and whose power for mischief was destroyed in 1874, havo labored long to renew their grasp on the state. They have left nothing un- done to be restored to a position -nableing them to once moro con- trol the public revenues and re- store their broken fortunes. No combination promising even the ghost of chance for success has found them missing when plotting against democracy was in order. Not long ago they rallied to the Greenbackcrs. For some time past they have been quietly grasp ing the Agricultural Wheel, stimu- lating and directing the ex-demo- crats whom possession of sorc- heads and disapointded ambition has drifted into an.agonism 10 de- mocracy. The old lieutenants of Clayton have taken possession and control of the ex.democratic weddings, and by adroit appeals to their vanity are pushing them on to destruction. To the old fol. lowers of ClaytOn-the Sarbers, the Bcnjamins, the McCrackens and the Murphys-all is fair in politics. They can lose nothing. They argue that something may be gained. They are not the dupes, but the men who dupc tho dupcs. If they win, all right. If they fail nothing is lost.
 The democrats of Arkansas will look beyond 1874. They will re. view the acts of the period spann- ed by the twelve years between 1874 and 1886. 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 skillfally they may seek to fight behind a mask. Sarber and his eO- workers have changed their tactics. But they are the same en- emies of the people they were when democracy seized them by tho throat and hurled them from place and power.

TIMELY TALK.


 Below is given a lengthy but q most timely article from the col umns of the Gazette. It is a true and correct comparison of the democratic state administration for the past twelve years with that of the republicans up to 1874. The figures are startling, but they don't lie, and they bear silently on their face a stern, iIIefuable argument that no brazen face republican dare stand up against. It is whole some reading in these times when the ears of the unwaIy arc being filed with false, foul charges agains the Democracy.
 Under the heading "State Fi- nanciering' we print few facts of special interest to taxpayers, and of general interest to all class es. They furnish comparison between democratic and republi- can administration in Arkansas, and tho facts necd little explana. ton, as they speak for themselves.
 Republican administration was reckless and improvident. It greatly increased the current ex- penscs of the state government, and piled millions on millions in shape of public debt.
 From 1872 to 1874 the expenses of the republican state government aggregated 2,529,6s6. From 1884 to 1886, under democratic manage ment they amounted to s3S0,cOO.
 In 1873 republican rule) the rate of state taxation was 12.5 mills. The rate in 1886 democratic rule) is i mills.
 From 1868 to 1874 Republican rale) tlie state debt was increased f14 ,0G0,e0O. From 1880 to 1886 (dem ocratic ruls) the state debt W as decreasod IA, ,700,000.
 From 1870 to 1872 Republican ralol the state penitentiary cost s2tS.6o0. From 1854 to 1886 democratic rule) the state poniten- tiary netted eS2.O00 to the state.
 In 1874 (repub. rule) the school fund in tue state treasury WAS s3s, 900, In 1856 democratic rulc) the school fund in the state treasury amounts to s26l, ,233. From 1873 to 1874 Republican rnle) the salaries of tho state exc cutivc and judicial officers nggre- gated $2sl ,S6O. From 1884 to , 1885 democratic rule) these sala' , Iles amounted 10 $l33,900. From 1872 Co 1874 Republican rulel the state land office cost tic state t5i,G75. From 1884 to 2SS6 ! democratic rule) tho receipts of the state land office exceeded the expenses sli0, ,o27'
