PoPE Co, ARK. March 29. This
being Office filing year, We think IL
right 10 voice the sentiment Of the
thoughtful, honest yeomanry of Pope.
LIST, They do not Intend to vote for
men who are in the habit Of getting
drunk on Intoxicating liquors, be
cause it has been demonstrated That
men will do and say things drunk
thai they would not do and say sober
I'd, They do not intend to vote for
men who have failed in other pur-
suits OF life and want to try Office.
They want men with proofs that they
have elements us success, aud whose
every interest is Identified with
theirs. They want honest, liberal
minded men that will show PARTIAL
ty to none, but deal fairly with all.
To sum it MP they want sober, simon
pure democrats who have succeeded
well in other pursuits OF life, and
they will fear no danger Such tick
ct will call back every good demo
crat that has wandered from the
fold. l say "good democrats" !
mean to say that good democrats
have been led OF with fond hope Of
better things. But when they calm
" consider that history from the
creation of the world does not record
double geared society or organiza-
ton that ever accomplished any
good whatever. It's the political or
non political societies that are heard
and felt the world over. Look at the
railroad laborers, the miners and me
chanics, peace, harmony, strength
and power pervades their ranks in
towns, counties, states and nations,
and the capital of the world is now
trembling before them. Why? Be
cause they are single to one purpose
and not arrayed against any political
party or parties, but say to all help
us. The cattle men, cotton men, the
doctors, lawyers, druggists and mer-
chants Of every character, peace and
good will pervade in their societies,
local, state and national. and their
strength and influence is felt all
along their lines, because they are
non political. Let the democrats in
every township organize at once, and
carry out their will and wishes.

The Russellville Democrat., 1886-04-01

If there are any dirks aud blades
whetting for the fray in the demo
cratic ranks, let the good sense and
conservatism Of the best elements of
the party frown them under the
ground and bury them. There is no
democratic blood which can be spared
from the veins just now. 1t will all
be needed to keep everything in
good working order. Let all the
scalping knives be put away and
other such implements except such
a. are needed to push the fight
against the enemy.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: at

EVIDENTLY the strikers have over

strike. This seems to be clearly in.

ly's overtures to the railroads. The
strikers usually are very defiant, but
Mr.. Powderly is very humble and is
evidently using his best endeayors
in very skillfnl way to regain the
ground which the strikers have Iost
by such a serious and wide spread
strike without an adequate cause.

Withdrawal of the Home-Rule Bill Is Now
Mr.. Chamberlain's War-Cry.
LONDON, May IA political meeting was
held at the city residence of Mr.. Joseph Cham
barlain to-day. Sixty members of the House of
Commons were present. Mr.. Chamberlain ex-
planned the renewal Of his activity against Mr..
Gladstone's home-rule bill, by saying that he had
been clearly informed, on last Saturday, that the
Premier was prepared to expunge from the meas
ure the clause excluding Irish representatives
from sitting at Westminster, and thus
maintain the unity of the empire as desired by
the Radicals. Mr.. Chamberlain declared that
nothing short of the withdrawal of the home
rule bill would restore unity among the Liberals
The meeting unanimously adopted resolutions
declaring that those present would do the utmost
in their power to oppose the governments Irish
bills, as there was no hepe that the measures
would be amended in a way to make them &C.
ceptabe to the followers of Mr. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Caine Liberal member for Barrow-in Fur
ness, stated that 102 Liberal members have
promised to vote against the home-rule bill, and
that there are thirty four other Liberal members
who are undecided as to what course to pursue
towards it, Mr. Game also stated that the gov
ernment's action, on Monday in not conceding
the retention of Irish representation, caused
many Liberals who had intended to vote with
the government to change their minds.

Lord Harrington are very cordial

eral Conference, to-day, the Manual of Discipline
by Bishop McTyiere was again discussed under
a motion that the college of bishops be requested
to publish their decisions. After considerable
discussion the matter went over without action.
1t is manifest that greater part of the delegates
are unwilling that the manual shall serve as a
final arbiter. large number of amendments
have been offered looking to change of the Dis
cipline but so far, little disposition is manifested
to make changes.
