GLORY TO DEMOCRACY

The gain in Sharp county for the
democratic ticket over the vote Of
1888 is 1854. Fizer fell short of the
Norwood vote just that number, and
it IS said that the Fizer men did
more whooping and pulling than
was done for Norwood two years
ago. People are coming to their
senses; and in two more years there
will not be an open opposition to the
democratic ticket IN Sharp county.

tire ticket, while Lawrence SHOWS

News reached Batcsville Tuesday
right that it is estimated at Little

ing governor of Arkansas.
The race the opposition made
IN this county against the democratic
ticket was too weak for victory to
enthuse the yiclors or hardly make
our chicken strut.
1t was a complete Waterloo all
down the line, and the figures will
show another and more decided re-
