The Russellville Democrat., 1890-08-07

llAppIause from the democrats and stick to 1t, governor"
 At the conclusion of the Governors 6 speech Mir. Fizer was introduced and as usual dished out job lots of grave charges against the democrat ic party, charged that It was party without principle, the promoter of election frauds and political as sasslnation. He said Gov. Eagle was q good man, christian gentle man and all that kind of thing. but a mighty poor governor. His only charge against this administration was the appointment of Capt. Izard sheriff of St. Francis county. He idwelt npon she Forrest City riot and held up the bloody scalps of Parham, Wilson and Nicely, but passed over lightly as possible the murder of Frank Folbre, the democratic city marshal. He then branched of on to the Plummerville tragedy and re peated the oft asserted falsehood that nothing had been done to bring John NJ. Clayton's murderers to justice. His answer to the cry of negro dominssioa was that negro domination was impossible. He was Southern man and every drop of his blood he pledged to the man tenance of white supremacy, and he would say this in the black district. He made his appointments up here Tn the white district because he wanted white votes. He did not care whether he received the negro vote or not he could get along with. out It. He touched upon the sub treasury bill but in such half heart ed way as to convince his hearers that he had no confidence in the measure himself and he realized that the people did not want it. He rounded up with that slogan of the republican party when out of power Ca free ballot and fair count" Governor Eagle responded in a few remarks showing his opponent had departed widely from the truth inmany of his statements, and espec- Ially the appointment of officers in St. Francis county. He gave full and succinct account of his connect. ion with the unpleasant affair and proved conclusi, ,ely that Mir. Fizer sought to place him in light not | h ha atp in the case. He yielded to no man in his allegiance to "a free bal lot and fair count" It is the very spirit Of democracy. In the last state election for supreme judges there had been not even suspicion of fraud. He detied any republican to suggest any thing more that could be done in the Clayton mur der case. Powell Clayton himself admitted he could not do 80. Gov. Eagle closed with strong appeal for full vote at the polls and expressed his entire confidence. as 8 democrat, in free and fair election.
 After dinner speaking was con- tinued by w. E. Atkinson and T. B. Chambers, both candidates for attorney general, the former being the democratic nominee. Mir. At kinson spoke first and to say that MT. Fizer and his entire outfit was tortured, blistered and fairly roasted alive, would be putting It mildly in- deed.
 Mir. Chambers came next. His talk has been aptly compared to rattllng seeds in dry gourd. He demonstrated clearly that he had never been in politics before, and that he was running the coalition racket for all it was worth. He abused democrats to catch the union labor vote, and acknowledge him. self protectionist and supporter of Harrison to please republicans. All of whom were not slow in showing their appreciation of his style. He presented ludicrous spectacle pos ing as farmers candidate and was the but Of many joke.
 Mr. Atkinson's rejoinder com pletely answered Mir. Chambers ar guments and as his telling blows fell thick and fast the crowd cheered to the echo. He sent the audience home in good humor, enthusiastic for Eagle and the entire state tick ct.
 Notes.
 Mrs. Eagle accompanied the Gov ernor and was the recipient of many attentions from admirers of her self and husband.
 It sounds queer to say the least to hear preacher use the word infer nalsin a pubhc speech. Mir. Fizer used this term several times and much surprise was expressed there at.
 After Mir. Fizer finished speaking, he took a seat on the rostrum, placed his silk hat on the back of his head, lit cigar and smoked it with as much indifference as If he were at horse race. His conduct has been critized as being very impolite in the presence of ladies.
 Just as Mir. Fizer took his seat in the stand, w. J. McAnally, one of his ardent supporters and republi- can, slipped piece of paper into his hand and whispered something in his ear. The piece of paper con tained these words: "The Russell vile DEMOCRAT charges that you were the guest of Powell Clayton at Eureka Springs" This led Mir. Fi ger to believe that 1t would be better for him to deny the charge, hence his futile effort in that direction. It
