Fizer only has one speech and it is arranged to deceive white men. It wouldn't do for the negroes, and whenever there is a considerable sprinkling of the colored brother at any of his appointments, he very properly leaves out that part where he says: "There is not n drop of blood in my veins that would not re- volt at an alliance which would place the black man even momentarily in power over the white man."

IF there is Democrat in St. Francis county who cannot conscientiously vote the Fair Diyiden ticket, let him to the next best thing, i. c. not vote against 1t. To be Democrat means to do that which will benefit the majority, and act with the majority in support ing the organization and hence their policies, when honorable and just. It is said, and with some considerable foundation on fact. that the Democrat who can't go with the majority of his party, is a poor party man. and hence not an active and earnest democrat.
 We believe the election of the '.Fmir Divide" ticket will result in much good to the county, and the compromise which has been made Is the hest that could be effected. We had hoped to have but one ticket, but the soreheadesl Union Labor office-seekers would not consent to fair deyide according to relative strength of parties, and hence the political sea Is and will remain tur- bulent to . certain extent, until these fellows are hopelessly showed under.

 Fizer never was consistent man. While he expects to get the vote of the colored republicans, he has purposely avoided making appointments in the districts which are largely composed of negroes. He seems to be afraid for them to see and hear him. He has no earthly use for negro, except to SC, his vote. We hope, if the negroes of this county have manhood, they will refuse to endorse the ticket headed by Fizer, when they meet in convention on the 18th.

No HONEST laborer can afford to vote the Union Labor ticket and thereby place in power the same men who once robbed the treasury, burdened the peo- pie with taxation and left the state overwhelmingly in debt, without schools, public buildings or anything to show for 1t. If the laborer holds the balance of power in Arkansas, we will now see how wisely he will exercise it. Vote for Fizer and vote to enthrone Powell Clayton, the blood besmeared william who, while governor of Arkan- sas, robbed, murdered and ravished her people and whose legislature passed an act forbidding the courts to investi- gate and punish the crimes committed by his horde of hungry hounds.

TnE primary election Thursday was not largely attended, owing to the fact, we think, that the people do not under stand the compromise plan thoroughly, and it's probable good effects. We had hoped that every Democrat in the county would feel it his duty to partici- pate in this election, and thus aid and encourage the Fair Divide" ticket. And although the vote was light, we are satisfied there are hundreds who did not come to the polls, but who will support the nominees. They are will ing to trust to the decision of Il majority of those who did vote. and if the Re- publicans stick to tho Fair Divide" ticket, it will be elected without a struggle.

 Are the negroes of St. Francis county going to be caught with this double bait. We hope not, Fizer is a negro hater as pure aud simple as any man can be, and we do not think that any intelligent colored man will give his vote to Fizer in this county. Eagle is not thus rabid. He feels for, and sympathizes with, the negro, and will ever see that he has justice.
