for one of the several good,democrats
aspiring for each position, and when
the will of the majority shall have

perfect harmony and confidence in

Complaint is made by papers out
side of Little Rock that the fund
contributed to the state board Of
immigration by the various coun-
ties, is being used, primarily, for
the purpose of advertising the en-
prise, resources and prospects of the
capital city. We are not advised as
to the justness Of the charge; but
if 1t be a fact, then the several coun-
ty boards of immigration should at
once set about correcting this abuse
of their confidence. We submit
that it would be a better plan to
abridge the powers of the state
bureau and conine it to the proper
distribution of such pamphlets,
circulars and other information as
should emanate from the local
bureaus. No partialitv would then
be shown and each county, city and
town would reap benefit in proper
tion to the amount Of energy, enter"
prise and public spirit displayed by
its citizens. The county boards
would also be enabled to have their
work done at home, and thus accom-
plish the double result of attracting
home seekers, and at the same time
building up their home institutions.
Sharp County record., 1888-05-10

Let every democrat in Sharp
county who wants to perpetuate "a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people," lay aside
] his usual avocation for a short time
on next Saturday in order to attend
the township primaries and cast his
vote for the man of his choice for
the several state and district offices.
The county central committees have,
with commendable zeal, performed
their whole duty in the matter of
publishing the time, place and object
of the meetings, and it remains for
you to complete the work, fearessly,
faithfully, publicly and conscien-
tiously in the interest of good gov>
ernment. The signal for advance
has been sounded. Will you heed
its inspiring summons and win an
easy victory, or do you prefer to fold
your hands only by your supineness
to find yourself without party and
without following? The opponents
of democracy are bending every en-
ergy towards a perfect organization.
True they are few in NUMBER but
fraternal unity is a powerful lever in
the accomplishment of any purpose.
Armed with this offensive and de-
fensive weapon, and conscious of the
of your cause, you will
if you do your duty as citizens and
members of the democratic party,
accomplish "the greatest good to the
create number" by Overwhelmingly

For the benefit of the primaries
to be held next Saturday, and IN or
der that every democrat may be in
formed as to the aspirantS for each
position to be instructed for, we pub
lish below the offices together with
the names of the several candidates,
from whom the voters may select
the man best qualified, in their Judge
ment, to fill each of the several Off
ces. In our opinion it would be
proper for each voter to express his
first and second choice for each po-
stion. The several Offices and names
of candidates for each are as follows:
For governor, S p Hughes, W M
Fishback, E w Rector, John G
Fletcher and J p Eagle.
For secretary OF state, II Is Moore,'
S L Black and b b Chism.
For Attorney Gcnl, W L Atkis-
son and Il b Martin.
For auditor, w s Dunlop and A
w Files.
For land commissioner, Paul NJ
Cobbs, Jno. G. Holland and j. f.
Fagan.
For treasurer, w E Woodruff.
For Sup't Pub instruction, W K
Thompson, M S Kennard, Y L Cox
and OF Russell.
For chief jnstice supreme court, S
R Cockrill.
The primaries should also instruct
for prosecuting attorney, state sen.
ator and member of congress, as no
other primaries will be held until
after the senatorial, judicial and
congressional conventions.

address the people at Batesville on
the 18th inst. 1t is unfortunate for
our neighbors in the southern por-
tion of this county that the day fixed
for the speaking falls on the day of
our township primaries, as they might
otherwise attend and better prepare
themselves to judge of the merits of
the respective candidates.
