publicity in justice to him. And now we would ask how much of the state ment of the Wheel remains unbranded as a lieY
 Our purpose in printing what the Wheel said of Capt. Stuart was two fold. We wished to give him chance to set himself right, and we wished to show to the world that q wheel paper which claimed to be the embodiment of truth and honesty was not what it claimed to be. A certain man has in- timated that only wheel papers can tell the truth. If that is so the country is in a bad fix. The State Wheel Enter prise says the wheel demands were presented to the democratic State con- vention and scornfully rejected by it.. The truth is. no demands were presen- ted to the convention, and conseque nt- ly none rejected. If these papers rep resent all there is of truth in Arkansas, We say again the country is in bad fix"
 The Jonesboro Times says: "In reply to a demand by the Forrest City Times for tho rames of its in formants, the Wheel gives the names of c. A. Stuart, sheriff of Lawrence county, and Sheriff Will son, of St. Francis county. Now all we have to Say to tho above is that those sheriffs are either very ignorant of the state of affairs in Cra,ghead county, or are very reckless of the truth. Inc editor of this paper has been living at Jonesboro, the county site, for over twelve years, and this is the first tune he has ever heard such thing intimated as that tbcre has ever been anything but free ballot and fair count in that county, since the days of reconstruction. Messrs. Stuart and Wilson ought to bc made to answer in the courts for making such slanderous reports about q neighboring county, and the White County Wheel should be included as accessory. People ought to know what they are talking about when they say and publish things which are calculated to injure the good name of county abroad, as the above is calculated 10 do. Now, Bros. Audigier and Dowdy, don't let your zeal to build up the wheel labor party lead you into making such gross misrepresentation. It will do your party moro harm than good. We know nothing about the matter in tho other counties spoken of."
 And this, from the Craighead County Sun:
 "Rcad the following, which IS said by the White County Wheel, and vouched for by Sheriffs Stuart, of Lawrence, and Wilson, of St. Francls counties: "There has not been frec ballot and fair count for the past ten years in tho coun- ties of Pulaski, Prairie, St. Francis. Lee, Phillips, Craighead and Wood ruff. We learn thls from parties who arc in a position to know. Is it any wonder that the laboring people rise up in their might and demand rccoe nition of their bossesy We say give us fair count and free ballot all ever Arkansas, if it has to be done at the points of the bayonets."
 I've copy the above for the ben eft of our readers, coming as it does from two prominent wheeIers and published in a "heil and high water" wheel paper, and to show how slanderous it sounds, we can't find words mean enough to express to them. Knowing, as we do, that eight out of every ten of our judges and electors are wheelcrs, it's noth- ing but the echo from . sorehead, and we who are in position to say broadcast and public, that such vile slanderers should not be al. lowed to run out on the commons, much less fill the official positions tbey hold, and should they have been near when wc were in the hoat of passion, thcrc would cer- tainly have been an excursion on a rail or coat of tar and feathers, for we m Craigbead enjoy Q free ballot and fair count" and such a charge is an insult to our citizens, and we say boldly that such is false so far as Craighead is concerned. We will say also, thas If such is the case the gentleman of St. Francis is an illegal sheriff. Now, in jus tice to our frieuds and the citizens of ttis county, VIC ask Mcssrs. Stu art and Wilson for "their" author. ity."
 Again, tho Jonesboro Times re- marks:
 "Wondcr what Gus Stuart, of Lawrence, has got to do with tbe politics of Craighead county? Has he "jincd" the Powell Clayton, Me Raven & Co.'s gangy Come off, Gus-do not case grand old Law. renee to blush over tho mistake of ono of her (what we have always conceived to be) noblest sons. Come old fellow, you'll have enough 10 do to beat John Dartcr for sheriff. Tho people over here think 1t . carpet-bsg move in disguise"
