Clevaland's Plurality.

Cleveland has a plurality of 1872.
600 in the popular vote as shown at
the election last November. in 1884
his plurality was only $4,000. Thus
it grows palmer every day that he
was defeated by the use of money in
particular localities. His attitude
on the tariff question made him
friends and strengthened him in the
regard of the people. The caus, for
which he stood, and stands is win.
ming one, as the votes of the people
prove. We have only to pick our
flir,s and hy it again. The public
has heard the open confession of
many prominent Eastern Republi-
cans that enormous sums were
placed in the hands Of Chairman
QUAY for use in affecting the voters,
and it sees Dudley the Treasurer,
hiding out of Indiana while a Grand
Jury Of the Federal Court deliber-
atcs as to his Indictment. In view
of all these things, does it become a
Democrat to he discouraged or to
grow faint hearted? Surely not.
The cause has only failed because
of the Intervention Of the electoral
college. The people have indorsed
the President aud the platform upon
which he stood. They arc Tor him
a, they were for Tildcn in 1876. In
the light Of the returns, there is the
brightest promise of triumph in 1892.
Tie Democratic party has been beat
en- before by TIE Electoral College,
but from I.mcoln's day to this the
quadricnnial voting succcssively
/ demonstrates that its ranks never
diminish in numbers. There were
always more Democrats at the last
election than the election before.
This is the curious history of the
party. Aud So it will ever be, be.
cause the Democratic party is the
party of the people, and the cause to
which it is now pledged is the peo-
pies cause Memphis appeal.

TnE Forrest City Times thus
speaks for Arkansas:

Every man in the State Of Arkan-
sas should consider himself COM
mIttcc of one to induce immigration
to come this way. The eleventh
census will soon be taken, and upon
it depends manv things for the good
Of the common-w wealth. If we but
show to the outside world the adj
vantages we have in health, wealth
and peace, people would flock here
by thousands. Talk about your
country, write about it; let no op-
portun.ty slip'to do it a favor, and
in return it will bless You with
plenty. The conditions that sur.
round a man in this State are such
as can be found nowhere else Oh the
globe. Rich lands, good society,
equable climate, fine schools, splen-
did water aud beautiful forests are
few Of the things that are offered
to the homesaeker. Let US not hide
our hight under bushel, but in all
possible way advertise our resources
Tell oaly facts, for that alone is equal
to any fiction told of frozen Kansas
antl other Western States. DO not
let political prejudice deter you
from inviting al! to come who want
to better their lot in life.
