A Last Wall.

election, were burdened with accounts Of the
GLORIOUS" democratic outlook and predic-
tions of the tight squeeze the republican
party would have to pull through, If indeed
1t should escape defeat. The Age this week
is unusually subdued. There Is a funereal
air about it that is quite oppressive. II

humorous thing about it is the wild wall Of

ARKANSAS POLITICS.
What Frank Democrats Think OF the
Recent Election.


1t appears that the frauds and outrages a,
the recent State election in Arkansas were
carr e 4 ev' n further than some Of the Cleve-
land democrats could approve. Thus, in
Pulaski county, where the poll books were
stolen and the democratic county ticket
counted in, the chief Cleveland organ, the
Arkansas Democrat remarks: 1T matters
not who is guilty of the theft of the poll
books from the County Clerks office. The
democratic party must bear the responsibility
10 clear itself of this responsibility. the
only way 10 do it is for the party to refuse
TO profit by the burglary.
If, as is generally believed, the stolen
votes will elect the entire republican ticket,
they must be counted for that ticket if the
democracy of Pulaski county would escape
all responsibility on account of the robbery.
Ii is not question of few offices, but one
that is far-reaching and oversha lowing in its
Importance, affecting all parties and the
rights of every citizen. The democratic
party is in power in Pulaski county, and it
cannot proht by this outrage. There is but
one way out of the trouble and that is to
spurn all advantages that technicalities might
give, and count the votes as they were cast
regardless of the ticket elected"
This paragraph is 50 frank and strong as
diihoct W idlce a suspfSioh thsit Tic tultoE VI
the Arkansas Democrat must be republican
in disguise. But it was in Union county that
the boldest frauds and violence occurred.
Secretary Cooper of the republican state
committer, has received information that the
reform aud union labor candidates for the
countr otnccs in this county were hissed and
in uite1 ry the Cleveland men whenever
they appeared in public.
On the Saturday hight before the election,
the democrats began a systematic policy of
attacking and whipping influential colored
men with an idea of terrorzlng their fellow
negroes and dissuading them from appearing
at the polls. Not satisfied with this the
Bourbons guarded the roads leading to the
towns by democratic clubs in the guise of
state militia. The colored man who tried to
go the polling places were driven back and
shot at, and the independent white men were
warned away by threats of violence.
Yet even these lawless methods, which
were characterized as without parallel in
the political history of the State" utterly
failed to maintain the traditional democratic
maj ri,y. The majority which in 1884 was
1885. fell this year to IA, ,9Sl. When even
such State as Arkansas, where all the
characteristic Bourbon political devices are
lavishy employed, finds Mr.. Cleveland 50
heavy burden as these figures indicate, ii.
not his case desperate one indeed.

The Burlington Has Further Trouble
With Its Employees.

New YORK, Sept. 20.
A special from Des Moines. Iowa says the
most disappointed men that have been seen
in this city for long time are the engineers
fremen, brakemen and conductors of the
Burlington road. A lew months ago the
employees asked for an advance in their
wages and they expected their demands
would be granted. Yesterday, however,
they were amazed 10 learn that their wages
had been cut from So 10 SIS per month. The
employees declare that the Burlington is now
in Tar the worst strike in the history OF the
road. They declare they will not accept
any reduction and that when the first of the
month comes, all hands will quit work.
The failure of the company to advance Wa
ges is due to the heavy deficit in the earn.
ings of the road since the great strike of last
February.
