THE CANDIDATES.

+ In this issue Andrew J. Smith,
Esq, Of Strawberry township an
nounces as a candidate for county
Judge, and being a staunch democrat,
he of course, submits himself to the
action of the democratic convention.
10 the citizens Of the southern half
IF the county. most of whom have
&yvn 'SfI,irq.Smlthf fortwenty years
OF more, 1t is unnecessary for us to
commend him. 10 those who are
not acquainted with him we only
point to the estimation IN which he
is held by his ncighhors and friends
by calling attention to the fact that
he has been elected and has served
faithfully and satisfactorily in the
capacity of justice Of the peace for
nearly twenty consecutive years.
Mr. Smith is a successful farmer and
business man, has been in Sharp
county all his life, and if he has q
single enemy we have never heard
Of 1t.
The candidates for governor arc
having II warm time in their joint
canvass and discussions. The gov.
ernor and Col. Fletcher had quite a
war of words at Hope, and the
audience expected blows; and at
Little Rock, Rector told the people
how Fishback voted in 1861 for
Arkansas to sccedc, and then in
1864 he joined the federal army un-
der Steele at Little Rock. Fishback
owned up like little man. The
gentleman from Lonoke has an
Eagles eye on the expected vacuum.
