Meanwhile Ben Harrison sat at home and
wondered who was nominated for President

1t was sensible in him TO put in somewhere.

Resolutions Adopted by the Phillips County Wheel.

Whereas, There is disposition on the part of some of ths Wheelers of the state to ruthlesslv whirl the Ag- ricultural Wheel into a political par ty or order, and,
 Whereas, We are (precedentally) thought that such q step on the part of the order or its friends would be suicidal to the agricultural interests that the Wheel was organized to fos- ter, and trampling upon of the principles and teachings given us by the constitution and By-Laws of the National Wheel. and
 Whereas. We are heart mind and body wrapt up in the promotion of agricultural interest of the State of Arkansas, and of the nation, beliey- ing it to be the base of all other avo cations. and
 Whereas, We believe that to sub merge the Wheel into politics would be acting lie to our former teach ings and to those who joined the or der for truly agricultural benefits. Therefore be It
 Resolved, By the Phillips County Agricultural Wheel. that we earnest lv oppose the efforts on the part of some to hoist our agricultural sail upon political waters, and do hereby condemn the act as being directly in opposition to the truthful principles of the order, and instigated by those of our brothers who would sell their souls to the demon beneath us.in or der to advance their political causes.
 Resolved further. That we strictly oppose any ticket nominated by the Wheel of this State, for State or Con gressional honors, and use our best efforts to defeat any one allowing himself to be voted for as an inde- pendent Wheeler. Paris Express.

The Prescott Dispatch is very su- gary on MT. Barker, and why we cannot tell, when the hatred of that paper to democrats is so well known. It must either regard Mir Barker $ democracy as of the most doubtful character, or must urge his nOmina- ton by the democratic convention because it regards him a~ weaker be- fore the people than Mr. Mckee, and therefore would be more easily de- feated by the editor of the Dispatch, who will be the nominee of the Un- ion Labor etc, etc., etc, parties. One or the other of these propositions must be true. for it is fact that uu- der it's psesent management, the Dis patch has never been known to say a kind word of q 'simon pure dem ocrat, however able, honest and pa- triotic he may be. The support now being given by that paper to Mr Barker makes Us wonder what kind of a bug is under the chip. Tcxar- kama Independent.

In speaking of Hon. Thos. (. Me Rae. the Philadelphia News says;- The State would make grave mistake were they now to make a change in that office, McRac has been the most active man ever sent from this district. Before he had been in Congress a year he attracted notice. and now at the end of three years has gained reputation far more national as we'll as enviable than men who have served for double that length.
Nevada County picayune., 1888-04-11

We see from the Congressional Record, that on April 3rd, Hon. T. (. McRac, by persistent, hard work and timely speeches, in the House, secured the dassage of a resolution, setting the l2th (to-morrow) for consideration of bill GS9j to adjust the accounts of swamp lands of the several States, - from the committee of public lands of which he is mem Der. He did this in the face of op- position of MT. Holman, chairman of the said committee, This bill is one of Mir. McRae's we believe, and the indications are that it will pass the House and probably the Senate and become a law. IL is an impor tant measure for Arkansas, as the big debt on swamp lands, heretofore in such State as not to be adjudi- cable, can then be readily adjusted. Mir. McRae deserves the thanks of all Arkansas for his untiring energy in her behalf, in pushing this very
 important bill, and for other services rendered in our national halls.

A streak of pure. good luck in business, or the sudden achievement of success and wealth by q happy hit is rare, but there are many lucky and prosperous folks who are so because they watch their opportunities and make the best of them, Mir.

Hon. w. E. Atkinson of Prescott is 2 candidate for Attorney General. Mir. Atkinson is fine lawyer, and would fill the position with honor. We would be glad to see him elec- ted.

We noticed in last week issue of the NEVADA PICAYuNE that our old friend. Ed Hood, is favOrablv spO- ken of as being good Democratic material for sheriff of that county. It would afford Us much pleasure to hear of his being elected to that of flee We know whereof we speak when we say that he would make one of the best sherffs Nevada ever had. He has filled the office of constable for Emmet township for many years, and served as deputy sheriff under our old friend, Oscar Phillips, when he was sheriff of that county, there fore thoroughly understands the du- ties of the sheriff's office, Although Nevada county is pretty well divi- ded in politics. Grcenhack and Dem ocratic parties. yet we believe that Ed Hoods popularity would put him in possession of the sheriffs office, and we hope to see him run.-Mag- nolia Banner

Elsewhere we publish q call for . meeting at Prescott to nominate a candidate for Congress. The call is made under the authority of the Un- ion Labor Party. It means in plain English that the line has been drawn, and the anti-Democratic part of the Wheel will not agree to unity Of ac- ton on fair and enuitable grounds. ll.!hlSS s'3dst what we expected would be the case. We have no hesitancy in saying that the whole thing has been worked up in the interest of few ambitious men whose lives have been spent in the vain search for of- ticial prominence. This same ele- ment put out Hit for Congress, two years ago, and by the voice of the people he was relegated to the shades of private life, and so it will be in this election. When the third party wing of the Wheel learns what its duty is. and does it, then the Wheel; as an organization can do some good politically. and every other way. As it is-now, it is a clog to the progress of the order. r.-Locksburg Iocsln

From present indications, Col. Fletcher is holding all the counties that were for him in 1884 with the prospect of adding several new ones. Arkansas Democrat.
 The people seem to have come to the conclusion that Fletcher is enti- tied to it this time. And that "anon- ymous circular,' purporting to be a speech he made before the State wheel. said to be sent out by Gov. Hughes private secretary,is helping him. instead of injuring him, as in- tended.
