A CALL! ORGANIZE!

There will be meeting at the court house this evening, at half past seven o'clock for the purpose of or ganizing Union Labor Club. All who oppose ballot stealing, and buying and selling votes as com modity, are respectfully invited to be present. The club will be organ ized on the principles adopted at St. Louis, as national platform, and a free ballot and fair count as State platform.
 Prescott, Ark, Apr. }, 1890.
 The above fatherless circular was gottous out and circulated on the streets of Prescott Saturday. The circular had no signature at all, but from general tenor and print appears to have emenatcd from the Dispatch office, as it bore the plain ear-marks of Ansley, Jones X Go. It seems they were ashamed to own their dirty work, by refusing to father 1t. The insnuation that there are men here who favor ballot stealing and oppose "a free ballot and fair count" is q bare-faced falsehood, and the authors knew it when cir culated, but we suppose these self constituted leaders are bound to this line of policy, as dictated by Clayton and his dirty organ, the Arkansas State Register. As Powell Clayton charges these things and worse upon the Democrats, these little fellows jump to follow in his wake, knowing otherwise the boss will refuse to rec ognize or aid them. As to buying votes, it comes with poor grace from them to now try to make a show of opposition to it, when all know they spent from $500 to Sl,000 for this purpose in the last county election. People who occupy glass houses should never throw stones at their neighbors.
 When men stoop thus, to do the bidding of Powell Clayton, in putting out such a false, mean, low and con temptible circular, in respectable community, as this of ours, it is high time that honest men were consider ing the rottonncss of the men who are engaged in such work, and give the l.. L. F. wide berth.

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS.

Fi,e meagrc returns sent out from
 Rhode Island by lhe Associated Press are a gratifying indication ol Republican defeat in that State. The Govcrnorship will be decided by the
 Legislature as at the last election.
 when the Democrats carried the State on a plurality. The State would be safely Democratic on ma jority votes with no third party can didates in the field, but under the constitutional requirement of ma iority over all for the election of a Governor, the Republicans defeat the popular will in the Legislature, which is so gerrymandered thasihey can hold it and put in their defeated candidate in spite of his repudlation at the polls.
 The elections of the week were favorable to the Democrats, East and West. The Democrats made heavy gains in the New York municipali- ties. The Republicans lost ground everywhere in Illinois, and in Wis consin they are much alarmed at the decided prospect of losing the State through a dcfection heavier than that which turned the scale in Ohio last fall. The results of municipal elec- tions over large area of country show that tue conduct of the Admin istration and of the partisan major ity in Congress is so weakening the Republican party that it will sustain decisive defeat in the Congresson- al elections this fall This is gener- ally expected, but Republicans hope to be able to rally their disorganized forces so as to hold the Presidency. Their present prospects. are gloomy. Rhode Island is the pulse of the manufacturing Northeast, and 1t shows them that they can hope to gain no new strength in that quarter. The agricultural West is disturbed greatly and discontented as it nev- CT has been. With either a very bad or very good opin 1892 they will lose Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and probably other States of the Central West. Their "mailed hand policy" of coercion for the Southern States 1; high tariff taxes, and unbounded prodigalty in pensions will not hold the Central West, and without the Central West, the new States they are letting in, in their gerrymander of the Electoral College, will count for nothing in deciding the result.- TSt. Louis Republic.

 Spring time is here, the loveliest of all seasons. How gay and glad the birds are, and the cattle graze on the green pastures. All nature seems to rejoice at the coming of spring.

So it Is with man :; when he wears his blushing honors thick upon him. and thinks his great ness is still aspiring, that all devour- ing scythe, the scythe of time, clips the brittle thread of his life, and he, too, like the autumn leaf, falls to the ground to enrich old mother earth.
