BUYING VOTES WITH WHISKY

Red shirts, Cleveland hats and bad whisky were all the go in Little Rock on the l4th.- Dispatch, August 20th.
 Your ring bosses now running for office had strikers out, and every body can find out their names by making enquiry, following up the speakers in the canvass in this coun- ty, giving whisky to the negroes, making them drunk and disorderly. Although requested to desist at Glenvile, MT. Dan Pipkin told us they had one or two negroes drunk and hollowing aloud while tho re- mains of Dr. Wm. Nixon who was a most highly respected citizen. were being buried. Dissertation of the dead is even light thing in the ring office seekers eyes Will the people endorse such things? We think not.
 Friday night a letter was sent, we learn, warning sam Grayson and oth- CTS to get out of the township, be- cause of their actions i'll making ne- groes drunk, and all will say the good, peaceable citizens of that neighborhood had right to protest against such acts. It is home rule without interference. See if editor pro tenn Pittman. or Capt. Ansley don't make q big howl about it, this week The Norwood plan, as sug- gested to Mir. Jabcz Hesterly, to charge anything (any he) upon the Democrats, is being vigorously used by not only the Doctor, but all the ring bosses, running for office. Don't believe them,

and vet had q band of these same sort of "cattle" with him, would you believe in his pretended friend ship and assertions? Not bit of it. Even so with MT. Fizer. He proclaims himself a Democrat, yet consorts with Powell Clayton and Republicans, as his best friends in his canvass over the State. He says he favors a free ballot and a fair count So says Powell Clayton, who disfranchsed and robbed us be- fore, and nobody believes him; and vet MT. Fizcr is also the nominee of Clayton and the Republicans, and.
 like them, Feathcrstone and Capt. Ansley, favors the Lodge force bill under which it would be impos- siblc to have a free ballot and a fair count. No one can he de- cciyed Republicans and L. l.. r. $ run together and are virtually one and the same.

INTIMIDATION.

In some parts of this county the strikers of the l.. l.. candidates are using intimidation among colored men to force them to support the l.. l.. ticket. At Glenyille, Friday, we were told by reliable men that Rev David Adair, q colored preacher of Jackson township, came to them and reported that he had been threatened by one of the l.. L. workers that if he voted the Democratic ticket his credentials as a preacher would be taken away him. This is shameful fact, to the dshonor of the |. l.. candidates. It is also said colorci men are being intimidatcd i'll various ways.
 Now. the L. l.. ring bosses know full well an election carried by such fraud would not hold water They know that in deciding the Pulaski county election cases, the Supreme Court of the State decided that an election to be fair, must be fair in the beginning, fair ill the middle and fair al the end, without intimidation, to be valid. The Supreme Court. in the same decision. said it mattcred not whether or not enough votes were changed by intimidation to change the result of the election. but if only a small amount. enough to put the result in doubt, such cleo ton is void, and their decision in thi, matter k final. If the L. L.. candidates should accidentally carry this election by intimidation, which we don't think at all probable, it would be pronounced null and void by this high court. Besides, it is a penitentiary offence to threaten men, or swear them in, to control their votes. Take warning.

l understand that C A Robinson has been telling all over the county that l have stolen a saw mill and that l am indicted for it in Hemp stead county. No one knows so well as Robinson that il i, a dirty lie. The parties are indicted for stealing only q cutoff saw, one piece hose and one back up wheel, and not for stealing a mill. l never saw nor had anything to do with them had no use for them al the time This was in Hampstead eoun- tv and l was not with them at the time at all. Robinson knows very well that he investigated the matter, and that it was 2 job put up on me by Lewis Wilson, to get the mill. and told others sc. am indicted for only giving my advice to the party. No one but dirty eur as he Is would as-ail mans character when he was not present to defend himself.
 Again, he says l have pu' my property in my wife, name to avoid paying my just debts. This Is q wllful lie, and to prove it just go 10 the record and see for yourself He knows no man while in debt can do such thing under the laws of Ar- kansas it would not hold water.
 Now, honest C. A., did you not sell q team of mules to Cade Pye and smuggle the notes around 10 avoid paying a just deht: And did you not schedule 10 keep from paying a just debt: You sw0rc that you had never told any one about the trade you made with John Sttls. The jury said you ,wore fal-ehood amt gave judgment against vou for the debt.
 Now, honest(D Robinson, don't go over the county and tell such faIschoods when vour own record, both public and private, is dirty and black. You have used your otlirr for partisan purposes With ail this, think you will have 10 gr aboad the packet and sail up salt river.

EDITOR PRO ITEM. PITTMAN.

We want to pay our respects 10 editor pro tenn. Pittman of the Dis patch and show how he k making use of what he believes to be lie, to try to make capital for the l., l.. Republican party of this county.
 The Dispatch has never retracted it's false charge that the Democrats received money from the school book trust for use in late election for di rectors of this school district. We have time and again asked it to state what person sent the money, and who received and disbursed It, but it has never done so.
 Now, little Johnny Pittman, editor pro tenn, and small bore politician, comes out and says Mir. Crawford told Mir Jones money was sent to control the school election, when he. the said Pittman, had already told prominent citizens he did not believe it was done. What will the good peo- pie think of such a course, trying to make use of what he himself had pronounced a lie; It is simply a part of the Norwood plan, to use any lie they can against Democrats. Therefore, don't believe a word you see in the Dispatch from little Johnny Pittman, the editor pro tenn.
