4 GREAT VICTORY.

THE ArPEAL congratulates the Demo-
Gratis Of Arkansas upon the crowning
victory which they achieved yesterday
in the teeth of the combination
that Powell Clayton called into
existence and engineered with such
adroitness and skill Nothing was want
ing to its success and to sweeping Repub-
lican triumph but votes, and these it was
proposed to secure by the cooperation of
the Wheel. This failing, bribery was to
be resorted to. Anything to win
Arkansas for Harrison and Morton
was the cry Of the desperate pol
iticians who have left a mark upon the
history of the State that can never be
oiIaccd. The cunning, duplicity and
doublc-dealing that was the basis Of the
Republican campaign have failed and
Norwood is politically ruined. He
can never again hold up his
head before the people for whose
ruin he willingly sold himself to Powell
Clayton. Whatever his reputation was
before this campaign, it is gone and he is
bankrupt beyond resuscitation. lie is
buried under IN overwhelming majority
and is rcbukcd by the almost total
white vote Of the State. Arkansas
Is Democratic State, as strong in faith
and principle as ever, and will, on the
9Th OF November next, give Cleveland
and Thurman majority that will main
tain for her her place high up in the Dem
ocuiic column.

A CLEAR FIELD FOR PHELAN

When the Upton County Democratic
Convention assembled at Covington yes
tcrday instructed its delegates TO the
Congressional Convention TO vote for Mr.
Phcan's denomination, Mr. Normcnt,
who is an intelligent politician and de.
voted Democrat, at once withdrew his
name from before the party in the Dis.
trict as candidate in opposition
to him. This leaves Mr.. Phclan
without any opposition, and smplihes
matters for the party very much. Mr..
Normcnt, whose two campaign speeches
on the taril'-onc delivered in Covington,
and published IN cxtcnso in THE APPEAL,
the other delivered here on the occasion
Of our Democratic ratification meeting
satisfied the Democrats who heard
and read them that he is well
equipped public speaker and is especially
well up in perhaps the most com
plcatcd question that has been brought
TO the attention Of tho American people
He thus proved his qualifications ior the

Of Upton Yesterday, and therefore Mr..
Noucnt gave way gracefully, taking
time by the iorclock, thus escaping
anything like the chagrin OF defeat. This

the contrary they will remember it M
