| is here to stay. He then attempted to quote something that Mir. Eagle said at previous appointments. He misrep- resented Mir. Eagle, and when that gen. tleman attempted to correct him, i'm suited him with such remarks as "I will claim the time," and If you are going to make speech, 1 will sit down." etc. Said that one-third of the laborers' wages goes to build up trusts, monop- olies, etc., and in the next breath said Mir. Eagle would talk to the audience upon the tariff question, which is a question that ''does not concern you and I,' and again he said that monopz olies are taking the life blood from the people. This part of his speech, like the most of it, was inconsistent. He closed by saying he appealed to the people, white or black, for votes-that he wanted the race distinction wiped out, and for them all to vote for him. Dr. Norwood made considerable noise, and was repeatedly applauded by the colored people who were present, and also by few whites. He claims to CT, dorse the wheel demands, and yet he is a protectionist. The sixth plank in these demands is as follows:
 "The equalization of the tariff, the placing of all articles upon the free list that enter into the products of our man. fsNx IaI In turers of the United States to compete other nations, and the abolition of all ports of entry where the cost of main- tenance exceeds the receipts"
 and Col. Eagle, the democratic nomi- nee, endorses it fully. He attacked the action of the Texas legislature in dona- ting 5000, 900 acres of land for their State house, which is the finest State Capitol in the United States, and of which every citizen of Texas should feel proud, and no doubt they do. It is an everlasting monument to their cred it. He said we shall vote for men and measures" in the next election. He forgot to mention principles. He is in favor of educating all the little boys and girls of the country and yet he op- poses and tries to arouse prejudice against men who have the means to educate their own children, and to help others do the same. lIe favors con solidation of elections-says the demo- crats don't favor it because it would beat their candidates. Said he wanted free ballot and fair count, and Dan Williams, oolored, yelled out that it" and yet Dan does more hard work on election day to defeat the individual will of the colored people than any man in the county, Dr. Norwood claims to be democrat, but he isn't. He is d republican nondescript, and, as Col. Eagle said in his speech, when you see the bottom of this union labor move ment, you will see something like car pet-bagging. He spoke one hour.
 J. P. EAGLE.
 Hon. J. ?. Eagle was introduced by Hon. Geo. P. Taylor. and after setting himself right before the people, as re- garded the misrepresentations of his predecessor. went to work. He spoke of the important issues of the day, and made thoroughly democratic, and great and sound speech. He does not avoid any questions. He showed that the national and state wheel had rejec- ted the union labor platform. He spoke of this republican trick to carry Ark ansas. He firmly believes Aorwood to be the republican noniinee. and Nor wood did not deny it, He entertained his hearers for an hopr, was interruf- ted several times by Eorwo0d, and when he had finished. had shown very plainly the path of the faithful. Mir Eagle has been q suecess as q private citizen. a success as a soldier, d success as a far mer and planter. a success as a iinan- cier, business man, and everything to which he has turned. Judging the fn- ture by the past, he will be successful in September and make success as governor of Arkansas.
