 EDIroRIAL.-"The disgrace of Ark ausas." -Ai Elsewhere in the Press this morning IS d printed astatement of the outrages upon civilization whichi characteirZed the state election held in Arkansas on the iirst Monday of this month. Itisa record calculated to make the cheek of every true American blush for shame
 lt IS too grave a matter for mere parti- san condemnation. Such a cpmbjna- tion of tragedy and farce on election day IS surely to be deeply deplored by every good citizen of any party. At the same time the democratic party IS clearly responsible. aS far AS responsibility can be fixed under rov- ernment by parties. That party is inc principal in the crimes against peace and freedom committed in Arkansac or election day. That party. which has been Tn charge of the administration for three years and a half and of the popular branch of congress for over i've 1 years. Is responsible for the failure of the United States to fulfill its gnaran- tee to give every state d republican form of government.
 Opposition voters murdered with state muskets, and opposition Votes de- stroyed amounted, colored men. white | republicans and union labor men driven away from the polls-such is the shameful story of all election in a south ern state. How long will the laboring men of the north vote to help q party that rides over their rights and the l rights of their brethren in this way where it has control Is it crime tor labor to organize where it's organization tells against the democracy The democracy depends on laboring men to carry northern states for it. but has no use for their vote in the south. so it tries tp keep them from voting.
 An injury to one is the concern of all, y and the laboring men should re- member Arkansas in November
 TIE TIalEs publishes this letter sim ply that the people of this county may know how villainously they have been misrepresented by Arkansas most bit ter enemy. We desire to brand that part of the letter, especially, which re- fers to St. Francis, as Il malicious and most fragrant falshood, and we believe the fusionistS or union labor people will bear us out in the assertion. Carl Lee has been seeking cheap notoriety several years, and judging from this last article from his vile pen. we pre- sume he has gained d reputation over the United States for being, at least, the biggest liar in them.
 A coat of tar and feathers would be an appropriate reminder of the esteem the people of Arkansas have for the eX editor, eN-leeisiator, eX-democrat and eX-Arkansian CarlLee. Every true Arkansiaa should teach his children to despise his name. Every true wheeler will blush with shame when he learns how Carllee has defamed our fairs tate. N aShville News.
