 -C. Nj. Norwood, the union labor candidate for governor, addressed pie nic party at Morton's spring on Crow mountain last Wednesday. From all accounts 1t was the same greenback harangue delivered by Weaver of Iowa In this county several years ago, with 2 few variations to suitthe emergencies of this canvass. His fierce attack upon the democratic party and slight refer ence to the misdeeds of the republicans showed all too plainly his interest in the republican party whose decoy duck he is. The democrats of Pope county will never be deceived by such tactics as this, their recollection of carpet bag rule, of Dodson, Hickox ct al, is alto gether too vivid for that. His speech suited the republicans immensely and tuCy alC DSttibB hi6u OH niiHs t uis fact should be sufficient proof to dem. alone with hls republican allies.

 -Oulte a crowd assembled at the Cleveland and Thurman club-mseting on Monday night to hear Hon. J. T. Bullock and Col. D. B. Granger crate upon democracy, Judge Bullock spoke first and he made a splendid half hours talk, which was received with enthusi- astic applause by the audience.
 Col. Dan B. Granger was then in- troduced by the president; his speech was some longer than that of Judge Bullock and was one of the best that the club has had SO far, the speaker be. ing frequently interrupted by enthusi- astic applause. Rev s. s. Key had been invited to deliver an address to the ladies, but from some cause he fail- ed to respond when called for. Mir. Bradley was then introduced and en- tertaincd the club in neat twenty minutes speech. The president appointed committee com posed of Horace Bradley, James Mosley and w. c. Renfrow to invite Hon. K. w. Rector of Hot Springs to meet pr. Norwood, the U. l.. P. candidate for governor, who will speak at this place on the 9th of August. Hon. l.. w. Da- wis and Mir. w. s. Moore were appoint ed by the president to address the club at it's nevt regular meeting. As usual the K md furnished most exceel- ent music for the club which the latter sxteud tha nks.

 H. NJ. GARDEN, Notary Public. Following is the statement of Messrs. Tucker, Renfrow and Der nard in relation to what Berry Guest stated publicly before Mir. Wharton asked him to sign his affidavit:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Russellville certify that since the delivery of the speech of J. T. Whar- ton at the colored Baptist church on the night of June I4th, we heard Berry Guest say that he was pres ent, heard the speech and that the published report was in the main correct. J. w. TUCKER,
 k. PERRY RENFRow,
 ED. BERNARD. Messrs. B. J. Strickland and Jno. A. Erwin, the two reporters, who, getting wind of the speaking on the night in question, went down to catch few items, without knowing the other was there. Each one had paper and pencil, and standing out side in close proximity of the build Ing, one on either side, they wrote as rapidly as they could the speech as it was delivered Next morning, coming together, they compared re- ports and furnished us a copy for publication. Here is their affidavit, and like those of Connelley, Jones, Lemoyne, Hart, Simms and Gray, will be accepted as true in every par ticular:
 EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 In answer to any denial that may appear in your columns in regard to the speech made to the colored peo- pie of Russelville by J. T. Wharton on the night of June IA, we have this to say we were just on the out side of the building, wrote down all the points we could catch and what we reporters did publish in the pa. per is true and correct, and all re. ports to the contrary are false.

 JNo. A. ERWIN. Subscribed aud sworn to before me this llth day of July, 1888.
 HIM. GARDEN, Notary Public. Now we submit the case to the public. The preponderance of testi- mony is undoubtedly in favor of the DEMOCRAT and against MT. Wharton. His sweeping denial is swept away like chatf before the wind, and the general verdict o' the public will be that 1t would have been better for him to have stood by his speech, rather than to have denied it and have it proven upon hlm by those who heard him deliver it.

by law to all the grades Of the service to which it
isapplicable. The spirit and purpose Of the reform
should be observed in all Executive appointments,
and all laws at variance with the object OF existing
reform legislation should be repealed, to the end
that the dangers to free institutions which lurk in
the power Of official patronage may be wisely and
effectively avoided"
The gratitude of the Nation to the defenders of
the Union cannot be measured by laws. The leeiS-
latlOn of Congress should conform to the pledges
made by loyal people, and be so enlarged and
extended as to provide against the possibility that
any man who hOnOrahly were TIE Erderal uniform
shall become an inmate of al aims-house, or de-
pendent upon private charity. In the presence of
an OyerflOwing Treasury il would be public scan

served the Government. We denOunce the hostile
spirit shown by President leveland in his numer-
Gus vetoes OF measures for pension relief, and the

THE reckleSSnesS of the GOzette man
agement nowadays is deplorable, and its
audacity absolutely amazing. The good
will of the concern has, in consequence,
suffered and is suffering. No one with a
moderate amount of common sense and
decency but must see this; but its con-
ductors, appealing franticalIy each week
for money, appear obliviOus of the fact
that its readers have so wholly lost con-
iidence in it that they do not believe it
when it tells them its publisher is hard
up.
Last week it asserted that the Repub-
licans are responsible for the duty upon
sugar, and glibly blathered about the
sugar trust Is there man in Belmont
county who does not know that the Dem
ocratic State of Louisiana produces all
the cane sugar produced in this country?
Is there one who believes the Republicans
are willing that the people shall be longer
taxed for the benefit of the people of a
State who have by violence slenced the
Republican majority of their State, and
upon product, too, of which they can
not supply tenth part of the demand?
OF course there is not. And yet that
reckless newspaper, lost to all sense of
truth, boldly asserts that the Republic
ans are responsible for that, and for the
Odious sugar trust.
Prior to the publication in the Gazette
of the infamous paragraph to which we
refer Republican Representative in
Congress asserted on the floor of the
House, and established the fact, that Mr..
Havemeyer, of New York, the head of
the sugar trust, and a supporter of Mr..
Cleveland, had been admitted to con-
ference with the Democratic majority of
the Committee of Ways and Means, and
that representatives of the industries of
the North had been denied admission TO
the committee room. That Mr.. Have
meyer was in consultation with and in
the confidence of the Democratic mem |
bers of the Committee pending the con-
sideratiOn Of the sugar schedule is clearly |
established and that the Democratic /
majority is responsible for the retention
of the tax on sugar is well known
