The Russellville Democrat., 1888-07-26

republicans throueh0ut the state stit. port the state ticket beaded by Hon. c. M. Norwood.
 This action of course followed an understanding between the leaders. If possible, the republican vote ia to be transferred by Clayton & Co. to Norwood; and in return Norwood & Co. are to humbug democratic wheel. CTS into carrying out the programme of returning the republicans to pow CT by the indirect method of elect. ing Norwood. The republicans who obey the orders of their leaders know exactly what the plot means. Nor. wood and his co workers assume that the democratic wheelers are ignorant and will walk blindly into the trap the republican managers and the lead CTS of the union labor party fraud have set for them.
 Here are the names of the republi- can state committeeman present at the Wednesday meeting in person or by proxy as designated. It is the same old crowd, with Powell Clayton Wm. A. Monroe, by Benjamin Lar nell, proxy; H. M. Cooper. c. E. Mitchell, by Thos. Orr, proxy, o. M. Norman, A. A. Tufts, Thomas Boles, Logan H. Roots, by John Mcclure, proxy; P. c Dooley, M. W. Benja min, NJ. w. Gibbs, Stephen Wheeler, D. D. Leach, HI. B. Holman. D. B. Russell, Jacob Treiper, A. M. Medley, H. L. Remmell, W. w. Nisbett, E. c. Morris, D. Ferguson, D. A. Robin son, by Ferd, Havls, proxy; Jacob Copeland, by W. G. Gray, proxy; o. M. Spellman, R. E. Seveir, s. B. P. Weaver, by o. M. Norman, proxy ]; Noah Hays by J. H.

 Many Of the names recall the mem ories of l86S-74. These men do not assemble in midsummer, with the mercury in the nineties, to ald Nor. woods fraudulent party to purify politics. The record of the republi- can party when in power in Arkan. sas gives to their professions and their preamble and resolutions bag zenness and audacity equalled only by the desperation of their political fortunes. It is not only the devil reproving sin, but using magnify ing glass to give the object of his wrath ample proportions to warrant % lavish 2 display of his immacu- late virtue. Think of these old lead CTS crying out in the tones of the virtuous Pecksniff agalnst fraud and corruption and misgovernment! Think of this old whited sepulchre of republican party blazoning it's purity. and asking democrats to at test that t is immaculate by sup porting it's officially accredited rep resentatlve, the candidate Of the un- ion labor party fraud.
 We take it for granted MT. Nor wood and his crowd and the repub lican managers are now understood. Mi. .Norwood is the officially announce ed republican candidate for govern, or. All disguises have been at last removed. The mask has been torn of, and the authors of the crimes of the reconstruction era stand forth in relief
