Sharp County record., 1888-07-26

At the request Of the secretary OF
the Sharp County Wheel
we print in to,day's paper the
"Wheel Demands" Nearly every
section Of these demands is covered
by the democratic platforms and
will be nothing new to our readers.
Now, the editor of the RECORD calls
the special attention Of whcelers to
the 5th demand in the state and the
10th IN the national demands, which
two sections call for tariff reduction.
How can you vote for Norwood for
governor, when he, as the candidate
Of the republican party, is pledged
for protective tariff How can
you reconcile your vote with those
demands You can't do it and do
your family and your neighbor
justice. Don't let your predjudice
and your desire to beat the demo-
cratic party lead you to cast a vote
that you will regret as long as you
live. Think of this important step
before taking it.

SHARP COUNTY PRIMARIES.

The primaries last Saturday pass
ed off quietly and pcaceably as far
as heard from. Only l3 townships
have sent in returns which we give
elsewhere. While the vote does not
show more than SIS per cent of the
democratic strength of the county,
it shows concluSively what the op-
position may expect in September.
The figures now before us show
that Bellamy, Wann, Hall and
Shaver are the choices of the dem
ocracy of Sharp county for the
respective positions sought, while
the vote for county judge is SO equal
ly divided between the several as
pirants that conclusion will be hard
to arrive at. The race for assessor
is lively and close, like that of sur
veyor, and will have to be considered
next Saturday ;bY the convention.
What ever the result may be, the
ticket will be composed of accepta'
bic men, such as democrats who are
democrats from principle and do not
60 more on their own Judgment
than that of the party, can and will
support and elect, We all had our II
favorites and voted for them, and
probably feel some disappointment.
It's natural that we should, but that
feeling should be driven off by our
earnest desire for democratic success
and we should 90 to work at once
for strength and harmony. There IS
no man in Sharp county who Is better
than the democratic party in Sharp
county. Therefore every true dem
ocrat who was in favor of conyen'
ton will vote for the ticket winch
will be placed in the field by the
democratic convention which, meets
next Saturday at Kings Mill.

Resolution.

We find the following in the Sui
phur Rock Wheel which is given to
our readers verbatim for what it is
worth:
Whereas, a certain paper publishsd at
Evening Shade, Sharp county, Arkansas,
known as the SHARP COUNTY RECORD,
and claiming to be run in the interest of
the people OF said county, but as we te-
lieve, is run only in the interest Of few
office seekers and the so-called Democratic
party, and
Whereas, large portion of the sup
pOrters of said party have become thor
oughly convinced that the leaders of the
so-called Democratic party have ignored
the teaching Of such men as jackson, JEFF
ferson, Calhoun and others and to-day
the Administering of the Government is
entirely in the interest of bondholders,
corporations and trusts and that to the
detrimont of the laborng class Of the peO
pie, and
Whereas, we are trying as laborers and
as free cltizens in what should be free
country to unite against all moneyed cor
poratiOns, trusts, etc., that Is to say roll
ing the people and which is sanctioned
and fostered by both the Democratic and
Republican parties to the extent that the
people is becoming more and more op-
pressed every year, and
Whereas, said SHARP COUNTY RECORD
is now and ever has been opposed to the
Iaboring class of people taking such as
will enable them to Ue represented in the
Legislative halls Of this state or the Uni
ted States by streniouSly opposing al! la
Dor organizations and all candidates en-
dorsed by such organizations and to-day
is using all its influence to disorgAnize
the wheclers Of Sharp county. Now there
ere be 1t
Resolved, that we, as members of Wheel
No, 487, believing such a paper wholly
unworthy the support of the laborirg class
of people do hereby assert that we Will
use our il tuence to get all other members
to do the same, and also b. it
Resolved, that we are highly iLfavor of
the wheelers of Sharp county cooperate
in using their ilhlonce IN obtaining
suitable man to publish paper in then
intvre,t somewhere N Sharp county, and
this can be done by literally subscribing
for such a paper, and be it further,
Resolved. that copy of these resolu
ton be sent to each subordinate wheel IN
Sharp cornty, and ,lso copy he sent to
the Sulphur Rock Wheel for publicatioI.

Sharp County record., 1888-07-26

The union labor candidate for
senator in this district complains that
not Il merchant, a lawyer nor a news
paper will support him for the place.
Not to have the support of one Of
the four papers published in the
district should convince Linn that he
is in chad row Of stumps," and he
should pull off and go home and res
pent. The majority of the people
generally agree with democratic
newspapers. If our friend Morgan
has never observed this fact, let him
canvass the vote cast for senator on
the 4Ch of next September and grow
wiser.

TO Political Wheclers.
lizard County Register,

What do you expect from the
third party movement? Most OF you
claim tc be democrats. Do you ex>
pect, by carrying on an irregular
guerilla warfare between the lines OF
the two great political parties to as
sure any good resultsY What prln~
ciple do you espouse which alienates
you from your party affiliations =?
You say. that you oppose political
bossisn. Where can you Ind a
stronger quintesence of that article
thai IN an organization which hides
its>acts from public view; where can
didates are announced behind bar
red doors; where edicts are made by
glimmering candlelight; where open
discussion Is eschewed, where the
lips of the individual is attempted
to be hermetrically sealed, as to
public affairs? If you have a good
thing why not pass it around? You
say that other trades and professions
are organized. So they are, but
have YOU ever read or heard of a
political demand or edict eminating
from bar, press or any other asso-
citation? Can you point out a man IN
your ranks who has travelled over
the county and organizing wheels,
who has not strongly insinuated his
willingness to accept an office? Have
thev not attempted to use the organ
ization as an engine to aggrandize
themselves Is it historical truth
that a third party is farce, and in
variably contributes to tho success
of the party in the minority, which,
in this state, is the republican party.

TO take pride in being gentlemen

TO make their friends among good

Not to tease boys or girls smaller

sisters to be to them.
TO treat their mother as politely
as if she were a strange lady who
did not spend her life in their ser>

Not to take the easiest chair in

10 make up their minds not to
learn to smoke, chew, drink; remem-
bering that these things cannot
be unlearned, and that they are ter~
