FRAUD! FRAUD!!

FRAUD! FRAUD!! "THERE has not been a free bal lot and fair count for tho las, ten years in the counties of Pulaski, Prairie, St. Francis, Lee, Philips, Craighead and Woodruff We get this from parties who are in posi- tions to know. Now is it any won der that the laboring people riso up in their might and demand re- cognition of the bosses ]? We say give us a fair count and free ballot all over Arkansas, if it has to Do done at the points of bayonets.- White County Wheel.
 Will the editor of the Wheel please let us know the names of his informants as to St Francis county. Such an assertion bears falsehood upon its face, and does the people of St. Francis county, as well as the State of Arkansas. m injustice; the effect of which, 1t takes a great deal of time to eradicate. To ad. init or suppose that the above is truth reflects dlshonor upon the officers who have becn elected dur ing that time, and insults the intel ligence of the State. Again, to even say such a thing brands the leaders of your independent move ment as the worst kind of political thieves. You have made a mis- take, haven't you?-Forrest City Times.
 The following is the answer of wv. Folsom, high-toned, honorable demo- erat (and we might add teetotaler), to the paragraph from the White County Wheel, published in TIE TIMES last week, which said there had not been a free ballot and fair count in this and other counties in ten years. We don't believe the editor of the Wheel has any authority for his detestable insertions
 TIE above incendiary article is copied from the White County Wheel Such sentiments may be endorsed1by the members of the organization in White county, but we do not hesitate to say for the wheelers of this county that they will spurn such revolutionary means of reaching their aims. The wheelers of Woodruff county are law abiding citizens. Now as to the asser- tion made by the Wheel, vii, 1t dare to give the names of parties who are in d position to know," who will say that there has not been free ballot and a fair count" in Woodruff county in ten years?"-Woodruff County Yidette.
 And this from Messrs. Holland < lobe. of the Searcy Beacon. The former well known here. MT. Holland was secretary of the Arkansas Baptist Association, which met here last year. -ED.l
 THEN why don't you and your in. formants go before the grand juries of these counties and tell the facts ? The laws of the State are very strict on the subject of elections, and surely the courts are capable of enforcing them. By the way. who are those parties who are in positions to know 7" Are they men who are ready to produce the proof when called upon. or are they content with making bald assertions, and then decline to substantiate them until some good wheelers or laborers" demand it? Put up or shut up."
 The White County Wheel makes the following reply to the request of TIE TIMES of last week, to give the names of It's informants:
 "We take the above from the Forrest City Times, and will state 1 Sheriff O. A. Stuart, of Lawrence county and Sheriff Wilson of St. Francis county, were in our office during the week of the commence ment exercises of Searcy College, and during tho conversation Capt. Stuart made the remark about the above named counties with possi- ply some more that wo do not rec ollect, and Sheriff Wilson from St. Francis, one of the counties named assented to what was said as being from all reports only too true. l, is not our intention to wrongfully represent any county, but we do want to see the day come. and VIC believe it IS not far off, when snch things cannot be said. The labor ing people will have control in the no distant day, and then things will in all probability be different,
 Did Mir. Wilson say SO. We'll, we didn't think it of him. Why, he has, then, according to hls own statements, been elected by fraud, and has held the office of sheriff ol this county by fraud tor four years Did you say so, Mr. WilsonY Il you did, we arc in favor of the of fee of sheriff being declared vacant We don't want any man to hold office Tn this county who is elected by fraud.
