 W. B. W. i The following is the enclosure: POLITICS IN ARKANSAS.
 l Little Rock. Ark.-I want to say a word to the readers of your red hot paper, the News. have taken an active part in the lnion-Labor cam paign and it is my honest conviction that the Union-Labor party carried the State. The Democrats stole the ballot boxes in townships which gave nion-Labor maiorities, and shot and killed many voters of the ticket. At Eldorado, the county seat of Union county, they took the poll books away from the judges and burned them, and then held new election. at which no Union-Labor man was per mitted to vote. You can use this letter as you see fit. Mind that it is not Republicans that have been counted out, but the Union-Labor ticket. The Republicans counted the Democrats out while they were in power, and now the Democrats count everybody Y out that is opposed to them. They have armed the Dem "cratic clubs and made militia com panles out of them.
 R. CAKLLEE.
 The "R. Car!Lcc" whose sigma ture appears to the above is undoubt- edly our own Reuben-the same man who wrete the letter to the New York Press. charging wholesale election frauds, murder and intimidation in many counties in Arkansas. He is the same man who charged the gov ernor with arming many Democratic clubs for the purpose of carrying the elections. Our correspondent wants information as to 'this man k. Carl Lee" He is politician of the low est class, demagogue of the first water, an inveterate office seeker of many years standing. CD He was first Democrat, next an Inde- pendent. and is now a Cnion-L Labor man. Failing to get office in the Democratic party, he went into the Agricultural Wheel and by trickery and chicanery succeeded in securing the position of State purchasing agent, with headquarters at St. Lou is. at a salary of S1 800 a year. h. stead of contining to the legitimate duties imposed ny this agency he has devoted tiiost of the time for the last twelve months to politics in Arkan sas. Under the pretense of doing business for the Agricultural Wheel, he travelled extensively in Arkansas working in the interest of the Union- Labor party and its candidates. (3) i He is a man who will resort to al- most any kind of dirty work to carry point in politics. (4) His letter to the New York Press is in the main, a series of base misrepresentations and malicious falsehoods and has been characterized as such by hund- reds of the best citizens in Arkansas, among the number many prominent Wheelers.
 As to his charges in the article above He knows that the Union Lahor-Republican combination in this state was defeated ny an average majority of more than l5.000. In answer to the charge that the Demo crats " shot and killed many voters of the u.-L. party, it is sufficient to say that only one voter of that party was killed in Arkansas on election day, and it is generally believed tha, this was an accident. It is a fact however. that seven men, all Demo- crats, were shot and wounded in St. Francis county on the night of the election, and it is generally .believed that l.. l.. people committed the crime. The statement that the poll books were taken away from the judges and burned at Fl Dorado, is simply falsehOod out of the whole cloth. The statement that Democrats armed Democratic clubs. and made militia companies out of them is also without foundation, and was de- nounced by Governor Hughes as a falsehood. So much for this man k. CarlLee" and his letter He is a man whose shameful misrepresenta tions and base islanders have caused him to be repudiated by the people of this State. e.-Askansas Democrat.
