The Moncrief Bridge.

In answer to James Moore aud Frank Thomas in the Dispatch, as to the iob on the Moncrief bridge, l would say that my running 2 saw mill cheaply has nothing to do with the county affairs The work they did can he don" for 5000 If they will put it back as it was before they touched it, will bet everything I can raise that can take two hands beside myself and do the work in three hours.
 Now gentlemen, get your County Judge in with you and make some money easy, But hold on I may be a little too fast that S2j.OO may have been partpay for James Moore coming out to Boughtou township on the 25th of July to help yote in and stuff the Republican convention Now gentlemen, put up. or shut up, about your cheap jobs.

IMPORTANT OFFICERS.

The people should guard well the purity of our judiciary. In the Ninth Judicial Circuit the Democrats have nominated two as good, capable men as the state possesses.
 Hon. k. B. Williams, of Washing ton, is known to many of our readers as one of the leading lights of the bar i'll south Arkansas. He has both the ability and industry to make a good Judge In an address at the opening of the canvass he stated he would make no scramble for the of flee. desiring to feel under no obliga- ton to any man or party fl elected, and to discharge the duties of the of flee without the bias of party preJu- dice. It seems to us all true men can afford to vote for k. B. Williams for Circuit Judge.
 Hon. J. II. McCOllum is a rising attorney, well qualified to fill the of flee of Prosecuting Attorney. Sen ator Jas. K. Jones, on his being ad- mittcd to the bar some five or six years ago, said Mir. McCollum was as bright a law student as he had ever seen. He is well educated and well posted in law, which all know cannot be said of his opponent, Mir. Nelson. Mir. McCollum is not only home man, raised hereabouts, but very deserving and fully competent.
 The judiciary is the most impor tant branch of our government, and only true, capable men should he selected for it. Vote for Williams and McCollum and you will not re- grct it.

We will venture the assertion that not half dozen of the nineteen counties of this Congressional dis trict were represented i'll the pretend ed l. l. convention. MT. White is one of the ring bosses, and has to run for office Pittman and Jones are on the State ticket, Norwood for State Senator and Ansley and Rob inson on the county ticket. All of the ring has to be provided for, and we suppose MT. Whites only hopes are that Reed will still be Car of the lower House in the next Congress, and will count Mir. McRae out and put him in his place, like Feather ston has been put in Gates place. He will be woefully disappointed. The next House will be largely Democrat ic. But should thls not be the case MT. White will get so few votes even Reed would not think of putting hIm in. Tom McRae is all right, and will be elected by bigger majority tban pvpr

PROUD OF MY RECORD"

PhOUD Of M ' hECohb'
 This was the language used by C. IA. Robinson, tue U. l.. County Judge, at Boughton, in the county canvass Friday. Perhaps he will pay us something for giving the pubic some account of his record.
 Soon after he was elected he had an expensive bridge built at Bough- ton, at s1OO or Sl5O, giving contract to Mir. Lewis Wilson who owed him, and aftcrward drew the money for it.. Think of t-a County Judge paying his debts in this way.
 Below IIoneaville the people wanted a bridge and several peti- tions, with offers to partly build it themselves. but Judge Robinson re- fused every time He only builds bridges where it suits him, 1t seems.
 The Steele bridge was paid for af- ter two sets of commissioners con demned and had it nailed up, saying it was not safe and according to con tract, and should not be pald for. Mr. Robinson, of his own accord, paid S135 for it, sl0 over contract price guess he is ''proudo of this part of his record, as said con tractor is now working to try 10 re- elect him as County Judge.
 Although the county was heavily involved in debt MT. Robinson had an iron bridge built over the Carouse creek at big price, B 200, we be leye, when s2O0 would have put q good wooden one there that would have lasted ten or twelve years. Thus the county was run i'll debt useless y to the extent of s ,O00. Bridge over Carouse creek lower down, at Steele's bridge, only cost Sl25, so we have not overstated facts. Again, in contract the iron bridge was 10 have been completed by Oct. 22, 1889. and it was not done until about Dee nearly two months delay. Did Judge Robinson make contrac- tors pay any forfeit for failure, as he could have done to the extent of several hundred dollars? No, sir, not one cent did he get. The pco- pie were damaged Prescott was greatly damaged, but Mir. Robinson suffered it without getting any re- bate off cost of bridge as he should have done.
 Judge Robinson had the county to pay hls expenses to Washington and to TeXarkana, without warrant of law. He claims it was on business for the county, but can show no law for such expense.
 We might tell of cXtortonate con tracts let to make small repairs, etc, but our space is too limited to tell of all of his bad record. The people are aware of his acts and will speak at the ballot box.
 And who is responsible for the oili- cial acts of the conceited Judge, who is so proud of my record: ~ Evi- dently the party that elected him ; but principally the |, l.. bosses who dictated his nomination, two years ago, for quite a number of good men doubtless voted for him unwittlngly. Then let all good men who want to see the county freed of debt, and an honest, economical administration of county affairs, vote for the entire Democratic ticket.

NORWOOD'S RECORD.

In the canvass of this county by Messrs. Hamby and Norwood, the former very clearly showed up the political record of Dr. Norwood. Mir. Hamby proved that the reason Dr. x. defended and favored the mortgage system was because he had done nothing while in the Senate to rid the farmer of this curse. For the same reason the Doctor now de- fends and advocates the lease system of the convicts, by which they are worked and cruelty mistreated out side the walls of the penitcntiarv. It has been shown that the doctor did not offer single bill that would ben eft the farmer and laboring man while Tn the Senate before. For this reason no good citizen can afford to vote for him.
 The Hope Gazette of the l6th gives part of Dr. Norwood' record in the courts of the country. publish ing the whole opinion of Associate Justice Smith, in the Supreme Court, in Fifteenth Arkansas Reports, in which he is shown up in very un- enviable light. The Supreme Court charges the Doctor with trying to de- fraud briggs X Co.,, in the following language: The transaction wears the badge of fraud. = Article is too long to copy on our inside, will re- produce it on our outside next week.

Mir. Buchanan, the l.. l.. candi- date for Representative, at Bongh- ton, Friday, claimed the PIcAYrNE had misreprcsented him in say ing he favored the force bill, and then turned right around and said he favored 'the strong arm of the law if free ballot and fair elec- ton could not be had otherwise. As he claims there is not now under Democratic rule free and fair elec- tions, no intelligent man can come to any other conclusion but that he fayors the Lodge, force biil, which places bayonets at the polls. Ont of your own mouth, Mr. Buchanan, we convict you.
