In submitting myself to the SURFACES
of the people OF Lafayette county as q
candidate for the office of county
treasurer at the ensuing general cleo
ton, in November next, | regret ex-
ctedingly that | find IL impossible to
make a personal canvass OF the county
for that responsible and important
office. Indeed, to me, it would be a
source of great qualification i'm this
matter to be among the people, to meet
each one personally, thereby TO renew
the ties of old and valued friendships,
and again to form happy and new
acquaintance among this people with
whom l have lived 80 long and to
whom am so strongly attached. The
best and most valued years of my life
have been spent in Il is grand and
proud county of Lafayette, and OF
course | feel | would like to see yon,
but | find that the duties OF the farm at
this season of the year and my business
affairs most im%peratiyely require my
close attention. Thus, / will not be
permitted to have the pleasure and
privilege of seeing as many of you as /
would like.
here submit that a public office is q
public trust, and, il elected, | shall give
to the office OF county treasurer my
active and undivided personal atten-
ton. with full consciousness that | owe
to the whole people of the county, as
their servant, All honest. imDartjal.

One of the notable features of the

One of the notable features of the
Arkansas election was the number of
negroes who voted the den ocratic
ticket. The negro is beginning TO
awaken to the fact that he has been
used a long time by the republican
party to rake it's c%hestnuts out of the
fire. He see that the dire predictions
of the republicans as TO what would
follow democratic supremacy in the
nation have come to naught. He sees
that his rights are maintained, that the
sun shines and the rain falls. that crops
flourish, that business thrives, and last,
but not least, that the democrats pro-
pose to cheaper the things he has TO
buy, and that the republicans have
never given him employment in their
much Wanted projected industries, and
he begins TO feel rs if he might find just
as good friends in the democratic as in
the republican party. Let him try it
once and soc. We know he will have
a hard time with his past political
associates; that they will try to intimi-
date and boycott him, in his business
and otherwise, but where he loses a
penny by it he will pick up a dime.
Let him try il, and see il we are not
right in the prediction. We do not
need your aid in this state ,colored men,
but We want it and will appreciate it.

NJ BONDS R%EDEEMABLE.

An attempt Is being made In Illinois
by republican emisssries to make the
people believe that there are large sums
Of United States bonds that are redeem
able at this time by the government, and
that consequently all the complaint re-
garding a surplus Is mere political
buncOm be. 1t is not true that any
bonds can now DO called in and re-
deemed at par. We have no bonds
that can lawfully be called in and re-
deemed before September 1, 1891, and
more than seven-tenths of the bonds
can not lawfully be called in and
redeemed before July 1, 1907. The
August debt statement shows a de-
crease of debt, less cash in the treasu-
ry, to the extent of 80, 1874 ,675 during
the month, against a reduction of 3d.
1877 1898 during July. The reduction
was mostly in the interest bearing debt
last month, namely 81, 900 $40. or this
bond reduction, effected by purchases
completed during the month, 81 1870, $50
was in 4 per cents and the remainder
in Al per cents. The amount of the
interest bearing debt is now 81, O08, 137,-
572. This includes the Pacific Railway
bonds, which were not included in the
statements under former administra-
tions as constituting strictly part of the
national debt, upon the principle that
though the government was bound to
pay them, the companies were bound
to repay the government. Deducting
these bonds to bring the statement TO
the same basis with those formerly
made we have 1884, 6l4, O60 as the prin-
ciple of the national debt aside from
