The Same Old Charge

The Gazette in specifying the causes which led to the defeat of Gov. Hughes, says:
 The neglect of official duty, proved in the matter of proper inspection of the convict camps, was another strong fac- tor that paved the way to defeat. This would have been a mere incident of the campaign had not the effort to defend the course of the State board taken the shape of virtual denial of the right of the people, acting individually through the press, to legitimately criticize the acts of their public servants. It thus became leading, determining influ- eDce, and did much to produce the final result.
 + there is one thing more than another which was settled beyond the possibility of a doubt in the cam paign just closed, It is that the Coal Hill matter had nothing whatever to do with the defeat of Gov. Hughes. With due respect to our contemporary, it was uot only not Ga strong factor which paved the way" to the defeat of the governor, but it had nothing to do in the case-more than to con vince the people that the charges of neglect and mismanagement made against the penitentiary board were without any substantial basis. For the good of the Democratic cause, we hope to have at least respite on the Coal Hill business. It never had a legitimate place in the campaign Little Rock Democrat.
 There never was more groundless and nwarrantable warfare waged against faithful public officer, than that of the Gazette upon Governor Hughes. The resolution adopted almost unanimously by the State convention is as scathing rebuke to the Gazette's course during the cam paign as it is fitting testimonial from grateful constituency to a trusted public servant. The resolu- ton IS as follows:
 Resolved, by this Democratic State convention, That we heartily indorse the administration of our distinguished governor, Simon r. Hughes, as being in all things in keeping with the principles and teachings of the Democratic party, and as being characterized by hon. esty, fidelity and ability in the dis charge of every duty"
 A more fattering endorsement could not have been asked or gwen.
 All honor to the unselfishness and patriotism of those supporting it.

TIE Nashville (Tenn.) Democrat advocates reforming the tariff and undoubtedly expresses the sentiment of southern and northern democrats and many republicans in all parts of the county opposed to the present system of protecting American cor porations. It says:
 "We adhere to the belief that the manufacturers know what is to their interest and that the people know what is to theirs. We know that many of the manufacturers, like Joe Brown and others we could name, are getting rich from the labor of con Vict slaves while clamorous for pro tection to American labor. We know that others are importing the most degraded paupers of the earth to take the place of protected" American laborers, for whose welfare they pro fess such deep sohcitude; we know that the miners In the soft coal mines of Pennsylvania are getting 45 cents for mining a ton of coal which is pro tected by 75 cent tariff, and that some of them are now being forced to accept 10 per cent reduction on that. We know, in fact, that those who are most constantly and loudly for protection to American labor have shown in a thousand ways that they are as anxious to plunder the laborer of his wages as they are
The Russellville Democrat., 1888-06-14

to steal tue earnings of other peo- pie"
 The Democrat being one of the substantial opponents of reform in the south and q friend of the la. borer, puts the question squarely. The laboring man is the great sui ferer from the high tariff laws, while the corporations are growing fat un- der them. They have good reason to uphold the protective system. A change, If it does not improve the condition of the working man, can make it no worse, for him, but it will check the greed of corporations and dispel the un- American idea of pro | tectIon.

FOR years past the great body of agriculturalists, who represent nine teen en-twentieths of our population, says the Little Rock Democrat, have complained that they have no repre-. sentative of thelr class in the execu. tive office. Since 1868 Clayton, Hadley, Baxter, Garland, Miller, Churchill. Berry and Hughes have filled the executive office. all of them with one exception lawyers. In the person Of Col. Eagle, the Democra- cy of Arkansas now offers tue farm CTS a most worthy representative of thelr class. He is a farmer and 8 good one; a man who is known as one of the most successful and prac- tical of his class.

IT is said of the tlcket--Cleveland and Thurman--that it is q union of the old and new democracy. Judge Thurman was one of the leaders of the democratic party while Grover Cleveland was yet schoolboy. The ticket combines the strength of vlg- orous manhood and the wisdom and experience of more than three score and ten years. The red bandana which for so many years was found in the front ranks of the democratic senators, will now take its place as one of the emblems of good govern ment and revenue reform in the bat tie this year, which IS to decide the fate of both.

THE nomination of Judge Thurman for vice president will strike all hon est democrats favorably. He is truly Tn his party, the "noblest Roman ol them all" In the senate he enjoyed the friendship and respect of the best and ablest of his opponents who had met him in conflict on many field In hls later years at home, although said to have been slaughtered in the house of his should be or pretended friends, he raised himself still higher in the esteem of his countrymen by unflinching honesty and independ- ence in maintaining the purity of the ballot, and in prosecuting those guilty of fraud and evil doing in con. nection herewith. His name will be a tower of strength to hls leader on the ticket and will furnish no ma terlal for the degradation of political discussion by his opponents.

 "Now, my friends, when l speak of Grover Cleveland, I do not speak of stranger to me. never saw him until after he was inaugurated Pres idcnt of the United States. 1 have seen him many times since, talked with him much, consulted with hlm much, and although I have not seen him for months past, l know that man, l think; and I think I know him we'll; and If there is a brave, honest, upright, courageous, patriot ic man or the face of Gods earth, Grover Cleveland is such a man."

The St. Louis Convention Ahead.

The most prolonged conven tion cheer in American records, until last
 week, was that winch endured thir- teen minutes at the Convention when the packed enthusiasm of the Pre-
 torian 306 contended for the prize of the Republican nomination. It was regarded as a wonderful thing that & great audience should spend so much time in one continuous shout over a contention. That was the applause of rivalry in it's ultimate develop ment. But it fades into lnsignifi- canoe in comparison with the ap- plause of harmony at St. Louis the other day on the occasion of Cleve- lands nomination by Daniel Dough
 erty. The convention and It's vast audience numbered not less than l3, 900 souls and made the welkin ring for thirty-two minutes with one con stant acclaim, which neither band nor gravel could check, and winch r resented every attempt at the lntru- si on of regular business upon it's yo. ci feration as an insult to the soyer- eign rights of the people to name t heir principal public servant.

THERE is no southern writer n

THERE is no southern writer more generally and widely known and uni versally admired than is Bill Arp, the Georgia farmer humorist. He has lately been featuring in Arkan sas. In letter to his home paper he thus alludes to the Wheel in this State
 It is something like the old Georgia grange, or may be like the farmers alliance, and, of course, is running into politics. There never was an association of farmers that was not broken up by political aspirants. The average farmer is easily fooled, and is so unsuspecting he is drawn into the political net before he knows it. An old solid wheeler who thought he saw deliverance near at hand, ask ed me how the "Wheel" was doing in Georgia. "Ah, my friend" sad "we have had that disease and have got we'll of It. We did not call it the Wheel, but it was the same thing un- der another name. The farmers have these epidemlcs just like children have to have the measles or whoop- ing cough, but they soon will be well oft. It never kills anybody. Your people here in Arkansas are little behind, but the Wheel will soon roll away and leave you about as well off as it found you. In some portions of your State l notice that the Wheelers are already oonvalescing. The skin IS peeling of and the scales falling from their eyes. There is the Grange and the Alliance and Wheel that, like the old -noth- ing party, all die of the same thing.

Solomonvllle, Feb. 18th.

Mrs. Alice J. Shaw is the name of noted beauty who introduced the great whistling craze among the belles of Fifth avenue and Murray hill in New York. Mrs. Shaw's whistling performance is said to be something wonderful, and far beyond the imagination of those who have never heard the art brought to perfection. The New York Sun recently devoted column and half to description of the lady and her performance, of which noted minister who listened to her said: "Her per formance is vocallzation crystal ized, and made as clear and bril- liant to tke ear as is the finest dia- mond to the eye. More astonish- ing still in the execution of any and all passages, whether high or low or medium, whether rapid or slow, whether excelling in bril- liancy or pathos, there is no dis tortion or contortion of her lovely human face divine. 4 grand face, a noble head, a lovely form, a most natural and winning expression utterly devoid of art Mrs. Shaw stood forth at one and the same time the perfect artist and the perfect lady, winning her way to the eyes, the ears and the hearts of the delighted, admiring and applauding multitude" Mrs. Shaw was recently honored by a benefit performance under the direct patronage of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Chauncey Depew and others of the bon ton of New York society. Local interest is attached to the subject of this item from the fact that she is a niece of Mrs. T. J. Baker, formerly of Clifton.
