THE FIELD or pOLTTTCs.

Scarcy Beacon Who BaId, in 1888, that the Union Labor men the political Wheeiers --were anarch. isls, communists. &c.7 Judge VI. R. Coody, present candidate for supreme judge on the Union Labor ticket
 Batesville Guard Featherston appears to have developed into a little boss. Col. Chas. k. Cunning ham, the late union labor candidate for vice president, says Featherston the nomination Of Fizer, who never voted the union labor ticket in his life, against the wishes of the real union labor men, who are refusing to support him.
 Little Rock Democrat: What claims have the Union Labor can didates on the people, and what have they done for the public good, anyhow? They not only present themselves for support without any thing to recommend them, save mere professions, but their party has no record in the State. The Demo cratic party is the friend of the peo- pie, and has proven it in the past.
 Hope Gazette: Featherston, that sorry specimen Of humanity and DO litical nondescript, voted for the Lodge election bill. h the opera tion of such bill, Featherston sees his only chance to ever again be given seat in congres bv fraud. He knows he was not elected to the seat he now occupies, and knows also that he cannot be elected at any sub sequent election unless the voice ol the people is stifed.
 Clarksville Herald Journal: The Rev. Thomas M. c. Birmingham Republican candidate for Supt. oI Public Instruction on the Union La Dor ticket is getting some cheap ad. vertiseing, and some unenyiable notoriety. He has been tried before the courts of his church for insub. ordination, very grave charge for preacher, and we understand that he is now under still more serlous charge. It is claimed that he sold a tract of land to winch he had no ti- tie. He should clear up these things before he goes into an important of fee.
 Searcy Beacon: MT. Fizer, hay. Ing fully consecrated himself to the servlce of the church, and being un- der the direction of the Bishop, ac cording to the rules and regulations of his church, had no moral right to desert the church to enter the pollt- lcal arena. Gov. Eagle has not been, for years, If he ever was, any thing more than a local preacher, has not been the pastor of any church, and hence, he violated no trust by going into politics. There is quite difference. but, as a mat ter of course, Mir. Fizer's followers will not be able to see it.
 Heber Advocate: The citizens of Center Hill state that T. NJ. c. Birmingham, of Altus, Ark, has taken the advantage of the church and people here. He published in hls paper that he would preach at the Presbyterian church, on Sunday night, June 22d Instead of preach ing Gospel sermon, he gave a DO litical speech in favor of the Union Labor party, and we think It a shame and disgrace to the church for man to take advantage of the church to make political lecture on the Sabbath, and we think he is nothing more than a red hot Re publican.
 Pine Bluff Press. Eagle: Fizer, the { so called Union Labor candi- date for Governor, says he accepted the nomination, not for the glory attached to the office, but for "the of preaching free ballot and fair count" And then he forthwith went to Little Rock and sold himself body and soul, to the representives of Powell Clayton. If there ever was case of stealing the livery of Heaven in which to serve the Devll, it is presented by ex. Rev. Fizer in his grand act of preach. ing "a free ballot and fair count" while his expenses are being paid by the Arkansas Republican Executive 
 Hope Gazette: How can any white man in the south who claims ,o be tue friend to this country and firm believer in the supremacy ,f the white race, vote other than he democratic ticket, after consid ,ring the efforts of the republicans n congress to again put the South inder control of negroes and worse white men? The excuse that local have nothing to do with lational politics, is delusion. The me must be drawn from constable to president. A man who in his town. hip and county, works against the iemocratic party in any manner by 'iding opposition movements, is to he extent Of his influence aiding he enemies of the south to bring Ter under subjection, and making it Iarder 10 contend against negro rule.
 Hope Gazette: The union labor arty platform does not embrace the lllance demands, but consists of an verdrawn pen picture of the de- ressed condition of the country; of |
 demand for the impracticable own rship of telegraph and railway lines y the government to be operated l pr the people at cost prlce charges nd an unwarranted arraignment of | he democratic party for fraudulent lections.
 There arc no definite declarations l the platform against the misdeeds
