 Bro l. ". Dollison. of the Clay Itouaiy Advocate, who was a member l 1i tue democratic congressional com mlltee, sent in his resignation at the meeting held hy the committee at this l place on last Thursday. assigning as a l reason that on account of his want of 1 harmony with the democratic party. . many democrats objectal to being rep l resented by him. He did right. He 1 ought Co have resigned whether re- l 4nesled tO do SD or not when he ceased to be in harmony with the party"
 And again.
 Brother D1lison. of the Clay i County Advocate. protests against teiug read out of the democratic party because le champions the cause l oi labor. All right. Bro. D.. the party i don want to lose you. and as long as you don [ identify yourself with. the ] POLITICAL labor party you are all right. Of course if vOu should join another party yoa wuald be with drawing from anl could not be said to read ont of the democratic ranks. l DEMOCRACY. BHD. p..

 Yes, sir. when yoa find that you can't bet democrat any longer don't cal yourself aa independent. Don't beat about tAe bush. but like man the Hoblest work of God-come squre up Co the mark and say, T am a ] republican,. Even then your former brothers in democracy will hold you in highest esteem. They will know that you haYc the moal courage 10 show your hand. They will know you are willing to meet them in debate on the principles of democracy They cannot feel that hero is snake in the grass"
 Now the republicans had conven- ton here Honday They were expect e4 to have placed a candidate in the fa'd for congress. Why was t not d9ueP eau any one tell2 Yes, many; ba' they won't.
 Some say We can't be heard in the democratic conventions. Here is an instance. Tie Arkansas Democrat says: 1
 The National Wheel Enterprise claims that the WheeiCis of Arkansas e5ugty after aI5ias P.eai isl with the democratic CauIal committee of that couHty to admit the wheel, aS a body. into the primaries were spurned. With the remark that the wheel Weuld not huI the democratic party. II this be true the democrats haFe GianaefeG- These democratic wheelers ought t0 be admitted to tAe primaries. and If the resolutions adopted by our state central committee conut fer anything they will be admitted.
 And thea the Arkansas Beacon. puO- li,hed in White county, very forci5iy says;
 If the wheelers of Arkansas county are democrats there was no occasion forthem to plead with the central committee to admit them into the pri- maIics" As individuals they have 2 right to go into tue primaries without anybody 3 consent. and no one has a right to s3y them nay. Ii they are not ia accord with democratic principles aud doctrines, they have no rlstt iH democratic councils, no matter what the committee may say.
 That's the ilea exactly. If you are a democrat, no one dare question your rights to the full enjoyment of party aIIiation, If you are not democrat, you have no business to ask its fayors,
 To be what they call d peoples candi- date is. as we understand it, t0 be opp posed to primaries. Is Featherston op- posed to primaries? Is he going to ignore the convention? Ii seems so to ''a man up a tree.
 Read what the Lockesbar5- Tocsin a wheel paper. We believe, says:
 ~Ia the primary election is the place for alT democrats. be they Wheelers or what not, to record their vote and in au the opposition to the wheeers par tisiqatiug iu the primaries we have not seen one single argument produced that is worth d fig. In many instances fl the matter WaS feFreted out and the true facts ascertained. it will be found that the opponents of the primaries are men who are hungry for office and who are afraid to risk their chances in 9 primary election with men who are better by nature and by example than they are.
 If the democratic wheelers refuse to % into the primaries they Will stand in their own light That IS the only place where they can accomplish WorK that will not count for uaught If they use proper care and judgment III SC lecting the men they vote for. No man ai pure and honest political prln- cinles and who desires the nomination of the best and safest men will be fonud opposing primaries. 10 the demoeratic Wheelers especially We would say go to your prlmalies' every one of you. See to it that yQu are repre- sented in full numbers, and then you wiu control the election and do 1t honestly To those wheelers who are mt democrats we would advise you to work with your brethren If yoa want to do go0d. Of course it is matter which is for you to decide for your selves but in our humble judgement yotlr work will be for naught if you do OtherW ise.
 And the ArkanSaS uaIettt IiatS to second the motion, as follows:
 Every wheeler who is a democrat should % into the democratic primaries and every wheeler who is republican, sh3uld act with his party. The wheeler who asserts that membership of that organization in tine slightest degree re- sfricts him in political action simply ssserfs that the constitution of the wheel bears falsehood on it's face, for he knows that the wheel is non parti- ,an. and that no member can drag. the organization into party politics without violating the organic law. The polltl- cal demago2ues who hope t0 profit by neryerting the objects of the wheel are forced to teach that the constitution Of tbe wheel says one thing and means another. One and all they shouio ue i[irked out of the organization for
 stf,.i1.- ,,7isranrpsantiug its purposes.
