SoMERvLLE Reporter and Falcon
There has been no con est in which
the rights OF the people were involved
since the war, in which Cjl. Looney
has not borne lions part of the bur
dens and responsibilities Not an
ollice-seeker, he has been ever ready
10 serve The interests of his party at
auy and all times, and now when he
comes before the people as an aspirant
for hOnors in their gift, they can do
no better than confer honor on them
selves by selecting one of their noblest
sons for the position he seeks. Col
l. oney is in the prime OF life, hale,
hearty and OF well-balanced intellect,
he combines all those qualities which
commend him 10 the party as its
leader in the next caucus. He is a
man of temperate habits, large and
comprehensive business qualifca
tons, close powers of penetration, an
abe, iorcible and eloquent speaker
man of many warm friends in all por-
tons OF the State. These are gu Ii
tie which highly recommend him 10
the thoughtful consider ton of the
Gubernatorial Convention, and quail
ties which, If carefully examined, will
place in his bands the standard of the
Democracy in the coming fall election
for Governor.
HELENA ARK World: Anumber OF
County Whe Ii have held their meet
ings in accordance with President
Is &C McCrseken's proclamation, and
those who have instructed their dele
gates 10 vote against nominating a
State Wheel Ticket are Yell, st. Fran
els, Crayhead, Independence, Howard,
Prairie and Phillips, WHILE Marion
County Wheel refuses to even send
delegate, or 10 have a rything TO do
with the ticket il nominated. We
venture the assertion that the State
Wheel vii not nominate a State
ticket.
JACKSON MisiSippian The Con-
gressional race in the river district will
probably be much mixed and very
exciting. IL is now almost certain
that Judge Simrall will oppose the
Democratic nominee, which will
probably be T. O. Catchings. Mr..
Catchings has been gloriously con-
verted from his youthful indiscretion
of advocating one term idea, and
like all true statesmen he falls into
the line OF pro aresl and rears aloft the
banner with its customary mo to; "a
second tenn for endorsement" The
friends OF the eloquent Mai. Magtuder
think that after Gen. Catchings has
served the State for near a dozen
years, in 80 wise and able a manner,
that he needs no endorsement at the !
hands OF a era eful people. Judge |
Warren COwan makes dire threat !
run on the cold water ticket, regard |
less of all party entaaglements.
JACKSON Mississippidn The Aber-
deem Examiners war upon John Allen !
reminds us that some of Private
Johns supporters might, il they were
not too high toned, retort with the
Lowry slogan OF last year: "Disap-
pointment-he W ,nted the postofIice-
personal prejudice" etc. But Johns
friends are men OF honor, and would |
scorn TO attribute impure motives to
any journal because il now sees TT TO
oppose him, no matter how ardenily
it O1ce supported him. We do not
believe the Examiner capable of OPP
pO ing Aliens recollection through
personal prejudice, for it is not ma
liclous but an honorable journal.
HARRISBURG Ark Workman: The
Southern Patriot has saved the Democ-
racy OF this district a great trouble
and expense, by ascertaining that
Dunn and Gate will not get but
twenty-three votes together, while Mr..
Govan will receive thirty one in the
Congressional Convention. But the
Patriot has given this county to Judge
Cate, while we were thinking il would
probably go for Dunn,
HELENA ARK World: The Democ.
raCy of ST Francis county held mass
meeting at Forrest City one day last
week and elected a Democratic Exec
utive Committee; the Executive Com
mittee elected Mr. Russell Chairman.
This does not confirm the report in
circulation that Mr.. Dunn will not
carry his own county, and that the
Democracy of that county had set
down on him and his lieutenant, John
Parham, ESQ Mr. Russell is broth.
er-in-law of Col. Dunn.
LITE Rock, Ark Democrat The
announcement of Hon. b b. Battle as
a candidate for reelection as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court VIII be
found in the Democrat of to-day.
Judge Battle was elected less than a
year ago to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme bench cause by The death
OF the lamented Judge Eakin. In this
important and resnonsible position he
has met the highest expectations of
his friends In fact the people, ire
spective OF party, are so well pleased
with Judge Battle that there is an
almost universal desire to see him re
elected
JACKSON Miss. Clarion: The result
of the Congressional canvass in Madi-
son county mu be exceedingly graft
tying TO Maj Barksdale. He was the
choice of every district convection,
ADD the unanimous choice of the
county convention. His faith in the
people of the district of which he is
the representative, who have watched
him at the post OF duty, and are still
watching him, is well founded. Ashe
has not disappointed them they will
not disappoint him.
JACKSON MISS Clarion: The host
Of frie lds of Senator !. q. Hamilton,
whose name has been very prominent
a. a candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District, will sincerely regretshis
withdrawal from the contest. We
havs known Col. Hamilton n many
years, aud under all circumstances,
have seen him severely tested, and
know him TO b. a gentleman Of
ster ing merit, and one who would
