Ir IS plainly a question of off with the fusionist candidates. There is no platform or set of prin- ciples not covered by the demo- cratic party, which wIll rebound to the benefit of the county, upon which they can stand. Charges of rascality against individuals IS the poorest excuse m tho world for side issues. Democrats should rather be the most determined to exalt their party. and its prin
 ciples when rascality is discovered, by purging the party of the rasca,s, if there be any. Take away the greed for office, and there would be no independents in this county. IL is not so with the democrats. TIE TIMES has no axe to grind. No true democrat advocates demo cratic doctrines sfor revenue only

HoN. w. NJ. Fishback, candidate for Presidential elector from the state at-large, spoke to crowded house here Monday, notwithstanding the fact that the announcement had been overlooked. He spoke on the tariff, and those who failed to hear him will not soon have another opportunity to hear this question so ably, simply and thoroughly discussed. Col. Fishback has many warm friends here and his greeting was cordial and earnest. He will have no trouble in carrying this county by very large majority for the hero of Tariff Reform.

TIE men who compose tho demo- cratic ticket and those who arc supporting it. are fighting upon principle. They oarc not for tho offices, but they care for the prin- ciples of the democratic party. It is for democratic victory they arc laboring, and as a just and fair remuneration for their time and the consequent expenses of q can .vass, they should and we believe, If the democarts will wipe out the side issues, they will bc elected, and thus overthrow an unhealthy, ignorant administration which is surc to follow the election of the negro.

A trust is where too or three men in the same business decide to close down and cut off the supply. We have an office trust in St. Francis county,--a huge monopoly.

WE believe the negroes are thorough ly organized. They will say they are going to vote the fusion ticket. rms is a dodge which they have been put up to to deceive the whites.

WINTHROP has been a republican always. It is safe to say the negroes will vote solidly for him, and it be hooves the white people of this county to vote for the straight democratic ticket.
