Some of the state papers that

while they observe that the bill Is

The Blair bill passed the senate
several days ago, Arkansas two SEN

the Gazette and the little knots in

The action of the democratic ex-
ecutive committe, in fixing the date
of the national convention for June
5th makes both the state and nation
al campaign unusually long. Here
tofore the national democratic
convention has been held in July and
the state convention in the latter
part of June. This year they will
come one month earlier than usual.
The one will run through five and
the other three months, where in the
past, four and two months have been
deemed quite sufficient time. The
state convention, which must appoint
delegates to the national convention,

A third party is in the field
under the name of the national re-
form party, candidates for president
and vice-president being already
nominated. They count on carrying
Arkansas, Alabama and other south
ern states. Such a result would give
the presidency to our republican
friends. Will Arkansas democrats
allow such a result to threaten
them without presenting a line of
defense
Sharp County record., 1888-03-08

cannot be postponed beyond the last
week in May, unless two conventions
be held, which is altogether unnec-
essary. The meeting of the state
executive committee on March l4th
will mark the beginning of the pri-
mary campaign for party nomina-
tions, which must necessarily be
confined to about ten weeks time.
The natural result of these early
conventions will be to make democ-
racy the aggressive leader, which it
ought to be in both the state and
ation.-Arkansas Press.

Candidates who confne their an
nouncements to the Little Rock pa
pers and depend on circulars to catch
the "rural roosters," may possibly
find themselves mistaken. If an
office is worth having it is worth
asking for in the proper way.-Por-
tia Free Press.
This is our view of the matter,
and the attention of democrats in
this county is called to these COL
umns to see who wants their support
at the coming state convention.

The RECORD is quite anxious to
sell advertising space, but will in

through the aesthetic editor of the
Darnanelle Post, to "work Nelson
Chesman for TUFTS Pills." and trust
to make up for hard luck when wild

Three men robbed a train on the
St. Louis & Texas railway near
Kingsland in Cleveland county, on
the night of the 2Sth ult. They
secured about $4,000 and made an
unimpeded escape. The train was
the same which was robbed at Genoa
last December, and was in charge of
of the same men. Gov. Hughes has
offered a reward of 5000 each for
the arrest of the perpetrators of the
bold deed.

The demand for increased or ex~

There is a sensational play, called
"The Still Alarm" having a great
run in the large cities. 1t INTRODUCES a
sure-enough fire engine and real
horses. There is also "still alarm"
in this county. The "stlll' is having
a good run, but the "alarm" don't
amount to much.-Free Press.
This is both punny and funny and
is far more applicable in Sharp than
in Lawrence county. 1t seems that
the alarm still fails to excite the
people to a sense of their great dan
ger.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Bridgeports put another feather in their caps at New Haven last night. They went over to New Haven full of confidence in their prowess and came back we'll loaded up with victory, for they had downed the New Havens after a sharp and rattling contest by the score of to 3. Another evidence that the Park City pets can still hit with the hockey effectively.

THE STORM KING.

Tho Baldwin Street Foot Bridge
 Washed AwGy-The Manhan Mead-
 ows Under Water Hut the Damage
 is Slight.
 The storm which began at late hour Sunday night and continued all through the day yesterday without moments cessation was probably the heaviest rain fall Waterbury has seen in twenty years, but fortunately the amount of damage done is not as great as was feared.
 The temporary foot bridge over the Mad river at Baldwin street where the new railroad is being built was the first to give way to the flood. The bridge was a light struc- ture few feet wide. It was swept from its fastenings and carried down the stream in d hundred pieces. It was reported that a man had been lost when the bridge went down, but the rumor was without foundation. Pedes- trians who were obliged to reach their homes on the Abrigador by way of Mill and Liberty streets had to wade knee deep through mud, and rumor was sent out to the effect that a boy had gone beyond his depth in the mud where the railroad company had filled in near the Liberty street bridge. This report also lacked authority, but it is certain 1 that more than one pair of rubberS were | lost in the mud.
 Towards evening the Naugatuck river | overfiowed its banks at the West End. | The whole meadow both sides of the road was flooded and Riverside street | from West Main to the slope beyond the Wilson cottage was submerged. The | base ball ground was also under water and a large section of the fence near the northwest corner was laid flat. The horse car stables were surrounded by water on three sides but received no great damage. On the other sid4 of the road Hard's blacksmith shop on the road leading to the circus grounds was flooded. A blackboard wagon that stood near the shop was carried down the stream and many who saw the wagon drew upon an excited imagination and declared a horse went down with the wagon. A DEMOCRAT printer who was there says it was large bay horse hay ing on harness. No one can be found who lost such an animal.
 | In other parts of the town cellars were flooded and great gullies were washed in the streets in many places. The water in the rivers is gradually going down and no further trouble is anticipated.
