Hon. Thos. c. McRae.

Below we copy some eXtracts rom our exchanges, all of this district. save one, endorsing our present con gressman' s record and favoring his return:
 Thomas C. McRac is barely 36 years of age. one of the youngest men in congress, yet there is not one ascending the ladder of fame more higher than he.-Buckner News.
 Hon. T. C. McRae is at his post of duty at Washington City, looking aftcr,the interests of his constituents. He is fast coming to the front as one of the influential men of the house. He has introduced many important bills and made some of the most i'm portant reports from committees made this session. He is worker and therefore he will have no time to look after his canvass, while MT. Barker has the field all to himself but | the friends of Mir. McRae will not let him suffer on that account Ouachita Herald.
 It has been our pleasure to know MT. McRae for many years, and we esteem him to be one of the best and ahlest men ever sent to congress from tms state. He certainly pos sesscs the best elements of the true, patriotic statesmen. and his service so far has been creditable to his head and heart and to his constituents, who honored themselves in honoring him with seat in the national leg islature. One of the imperative de- mands of our times is for true and pure men to serve the people-Nueh a man in our candid judgment we have in T. C. McRae. .--Arkansas Metho- dist.
 Editor MAGSoLh BANNER.-l beg leave to submit the following re- marks through the columns of your valuable paper, to the voters of this county and this congressional dis trict: Since we have had man in congress for the two last terms, who has exerted his strength in represent ing his constituencies with unshaken probity and unparalled ability. This is not boast sent forth with empty. unsoundng words, or based on any ties of relationship or acqualn- tance of T. c. McRae, but is foun- ded on the bright career of his pubic service, while at the City of Wash ington, which is without a stan. We find there are some who are bold enough, among the sore-headed politicians of the day, to assail this rising statesman of American liberty who has ever been vigilant in bear ing the grand flag of the Democrat ic party, with the insulting reproach. that he has gone over to the Repub- lican party by favoring the Blair bill. Fellow citizens l appeal to your judgment and ask you to contemplate what l shall say: These are men, either from ignorance or undermining principles, who are plotting our downfall in the coming campaign. Such men would, l guess like to catch at John Ansley, as he flies from the tangency. They have grown impatient to be called by the people to a position, that they neither have ability nor fidelity to fill. T. C. McRae stands unshakcn on the National Democratic Platform of 1884. In one of his maSterly speech cs he made in Congress in 1886, he upbraided the Republicans for laying its ruthless hand on the public do- main, and granting it to railroad kings and monopolies. He refuted the argument the the Republicans produced, meeting every point logl- cally, referring to the Democratic Platform of 1884, with the following patriotic language; I've believe that the public land ought, as far as possible, to be kept as homcsteads for actual settlers that all unearned lands heretofore improvidently grant ed to railroad corporations by the ac- ton of the Republican party should be restored to the public domain, and that no more grants of land shall be made to corporations, or be allowed to fall into the ownership of alien ah- sentees." Brother Wheelcrs and fellow citizens. does this sound like ! Republicanism? l will say further more that will meet any one, eith- CT through the columns of the pa per, upon the stump, or in private letter. with arguments, who will say his acts were undemocratic. l can establish that he acted altogether be- coming his linanciering capacity. by the record, and this we will kindly remember.
