cannot but operate TO their serious disadvan-
tage. They have not, so far as we have OBJ
served. shown any desire to lend helping

By doing so they would not only have helped
their own cause in the eyes Of the public, but
they would have advanced the general interests
Of laboring men in all departments
The proposed Commission of Judges TO in
ouire into the Parnell-" Times" controversy is
still regarded by Mr.. Parnell with hesitation
No doubt a good deal will depend upon the
members of the Commission. That they should
be named in the bill seems no more than fair
and reasonable. Apparently the plan is to give
the Judges unlimited powers in conducting the
investigation. They will go into all the
charges. examine witnesses under oath, and
compel complete disclosures. Mr.. Parnell de-
sired the inquiry limited to the authenticity OF
the letters he is accused of writing; 1.-The
Times' would prefer to draw the line else
where. With a properly constituted Commits
sion the public will be satisfied, since The truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
is the thing to be sought.

DEMOCRATS ENCOURAGED BY THE ELECTION

The Russellville Democrat., 1888-10-25
Making Votes for Breckenridge.

Special to the Arkansas Gazette.
HAzEN, ARK. Oct. 20.-This afternoon
a large crowd of citizens of this county
met at the school-houss to hear JEFF
Davis, democratic elector for the Second
congressional district. This is the
home of CarlLee and the Wheel. He
poured hot shot into the ranks of the
union labor people, the republicans and
CarlLee. Those who heard him say
that his speech was grand and that he
had covered CarlLee so deep that his
resurrection to a political standing
among his people would be impossible.
His handling the tariff issue was per-
fectlv superb, and only 25 years old he
Is declared to be the ablest representa-
tive of democracy that has ever been
before our people. This township gave
Norwood a good majority, but after
Davis speech many union labor men
say they will support Cleveland and
Breckinridge. He has done good work
and victory is In the hands Of Cleye-
land and Breckenridge. He said John

fled that the Second district remains
solid for Clifton X. Breckenridge. The
crowd was enthusiastic, and when Mr.
Davis finished many rushed TO the ros-
trum and gave him congratulations up
on the success attained, and all pro-
nounced him giant for democracy.

New York All Right.

Mr.. Joe jacobson, formerly resi-
dent of this place, writing to Hon. L.W.
Davis, sends the following good report
from the Empire state:
New York, Oct. 1888.
Dear Friend
No doubt you will be surprised on re-
ceiying these few lines from me, but
knowing that you are interested In
Cleveland's election, i thought OF letting
YOU know of the situation from the
"battle ground" as New York is the
state that will decide the contest. Tam
many County Dem ocracy are split on
locals affairs but are solid for Cleveland
Thurman, Hill and Tariff reform.
We are gaining every day. CIR. Brock
inridge is doing noble work, in this
state, preaching tariff reform, and when
he spoke in this city before very large
crowd, he WAS frequently interrupted
by loud applause and cheers. lie made
a good impression and ought TO be re-
elected to Congress.
The republican national committee
started out making bluffs but they were
snapped up so quick 1t made their heads
dizzy.
hope you will be able to repeat that
famous remark made BY you four years
ago that "the whole county has gone
democratic"
Hoping to hear from you soon remain
Your Friend
