Even good business man of excellent

the people who are already bur-

ers who have had bad crops for two
years. for the purpose Of establishing
tin industry. Nobody can tell whether
that tax will establish the industry,
whether the industry could not be es.

an uncertain certainty. In the list there
are several men who would do honor

If the proof is made it will place a prom nent citizen of our town in an unenyinble postion.- Dispatch.
 This is too serious a matter to ad- init of bluiiing, and our contemporary is hardly holding itself up to the standard of respectable and trust worthy journalism when it resorts to that knd of tactics to silence the PlcMuNE'> demands that it prove or retract the charge that the Demo- crats received money from the school book trust for use in the school election. One hundred and seventy men voted for Waller and Stanton, the Democratic candidates for school directors against 9j for 0. $. Jones and Guy Nelson, the mougrel candidates. The Dispatch s charge in its original form was an i'm putation upon each of those TO men that they were influenced them selves, or influenced others, with trust money to vote for Waller and Staintou The insinuation quoted above only aggravatcs this imputa- ton. If it is not pure bluff, it can only mean that the Dispatch knows the guilty party, has the proof of his guilt at hand, and i'll order to shield him is willing to let the stigma rest equally upon every man who voted for Stainton and Waller. And who were they: With their permission, we could publish the name of sev- cnty-iive per cent. of the pest elc- ment of the town-of every profes- sion and ayocation-oyery business and calling. We defy this bluff, and again call upon the Dispatch to prove the charge or retract it.

THE BOSS OF THE BOSSES.

The platform adopted by the l.. l.. State convention contains plank m favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. MT. Featherston, Powell Clayton's |. l.. Representa- tive in Congress from Arkansas, had left his seat in the House to be in at tendance upon the convention, and doubtless had a controlling influence in the construction and adoption of the platform. Only the week before he had voted for the Republican bill to demonctize silver The platform is intended to catch the votes of hon est, unsuspecting citizens who be- leve in the Democratic doctrine of free and unlimited coinage of silver. But Mr. Fcatherton's votes are given in discharge of his obligation to Powell Clayton for inducing the Re publican majority in Congress to elect him a member of that body over Judge Cate, who had been duly elected by the people.
 Powell Clayton, as all the readers of the PIcAYrNE know, is bigger double-barrel boss than Postmaster Grayson. What Grayson is to Ne vada county, Clayton is to the State He wiclds absolute, dcspotic control of the Republican State machine. and at the same time, through Poker Jack Mcclure, he dictates the plat forms and nominations of the so- called Union Labor party. And he will forbid his party to put out q State ticket, or require 1t to endorse the l.. l.. State ticket, in precisely the same manner, and exactly for the same purposes that Grayson will for bid the putting out of straight Re publican ticket, or compel his party to endorse the l.. l.. ticket in Ne vada county.

IF so, THIS IS OUR ANSWER,

Gov. Gordon, endorsement of the f. A.. and I. [. is a rebukc fo the Bucll Pres gar z and greatly encourages the farmers of Georgia Dispatch.
 Gov. Gordon's endorsement of the Farmers Alliance was not at all sur prising, notwithstanding the Dis patch's manifest attempt to make 1t appear so. On the contrary that action was perfectly natural, and en- tircly to have been expected. The Farmers Alliance. of Georgia, is composed of real farmers, and is not loaded down with political tricksters and chronic ofiice-scekers, like the L. l.. F. of Arkansas. The relations existing between the Democratic party and the farmers of the country are. and always have been, and al ways will be. of the closest and most sympathetic and confding character. On the one hand the Democratic party recognizes and sympathizes with the farmer element-the rural community-a the very sub-stratum of society-as the bedrock upon which all of our free institutions are founded, and upon which they must forever stand, if they stand at all. On the other hand this same farmer element-this same rural community recognizes and confdes in the ! Democratic party as the eycr-faith- i ful guardian of the rights and de- ] fender of the liberties of the people. ] And one of the most devoted leaders of the Democratic party is Gen. John ] E. Gordon, Governor of Georgia. Being in perfect harmony with his 1 party, what else could have been eX- pected of him but the most cordial : tHI SlIlCtit tubOi 9tlIitHt oi liiI ti't principles of the Farmers Alliance.
 If the Farmers Alliance of Georgia had been loaded down with office seekers in collision with, or under the dominion of, an old-time carpet bag ring, as the l.. l.. r. of Arkan- sas is, then Gov. Gordon, in his very !. devotion to the people, would cer- tainly have withheld his endorsement from that organization. As q true friend to his people, he could not have done otherwise. His endorse. ment was not q rebuke, and was not intended as such, to anybody, except anarchists, and such men as Powel Clayton and Poker Jack Mcclure and the evil-disposed and aspiring persons over whom they exercise dominion.
 If by "Buell press gang is mean
 the Democratic newspapers of the country, this is our answer.

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.

Yesterday the Democratic State Convention met at Little Rock, and put out splendid ticket, which we give below. Gen D H Reynolds, of Chcot acted as chairman of the convention. As will be seen all the old officers were nominated, save for Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instructions for these offices Messrs Morrow and Shinn went in easily on the first ballot. Here is the ticket a. nominated:
 Governor James F. Eagle. of Lonoke.
 Secretary of >tatc--B. B. Chi,m, of Logan.
 Auditor of State-Wm. $. Dunlop. of Monroe.
 Treasurer Robert B. Morrow, of Sebastian.
 Attorney-General-Wm. F.. At kinson, of Nevada.
 Supt. Public lnstruction-Josiah II. Shinn, of Pulaski.
 Land Commissioncr-C E Meyers, of Pulaski.
 Commissioner of Agriculture M F. Locke, of Crawford.
 For Associate Justice Supreme Court-M II Sandels, of Sebastian.
 The ticket is a strong one, compos- ed of as good material as the State affords, which all good men can cheerfully support, and will be tri- umphantly elected in September. The convention was very enthusias- tic and harmonious. A splendid platform was adopted. After adjourn mcnt ringing speeches were made by Gov. Eagle, Judge Cate and Attor- ney-General Atkinson.

A DOUBLE-BARREL BOSS.

Postmaster Taylor Grayson at tended the so-called l.. l.. county convention at Mt. Moriah last week in company with Book Trust Attor- ncy Guy Nelson, and with character istic domineering force, forbade the nomination of AmOnette and Greer for judge and sheriff, respectively, and compelled the nomination of Robinson and Gentry in their stead. In fact 1t is notorious that he die tated the whole ticket He said to the convention in effect. if not in plain words. that these men are able and willing to buy my 'nigger' v votes, and without my 'nigger votes the ticket cannot be elected. The convention looked at one an- other in q sickly, helpless sort of a way. trcmbled little, and then did his bidding.
 In addition to ruling the L. L. bosses in this absolute, despotic manner, the Postmaster Is chairman of what purports to be the Republi- can County Central Committee. As such chairman he has published a call for q meeting of the committee at Prescott on the 2Sth inst, to send delegates to the Judicial and State conventions, and for "other pur- poses" Knowing our Postmaster as they do, it seems to us that the great mass of Republicans in this county might easily imagine what those "other purposes are. They are to .'rcsolyc" that no Republican county ticket shall be put out this year, and that the Republican party shall en- dorse the boss l.. l.. ticket instead. l This Is shrewd business. If the Postmaster can prevent Republican ticket from being put out, and thu: leave the Republican voters of the county without any ticket of theil own to support, their votes will be l just so much merchandise to him He can force the l.. l.. ticket to buy i them from him. He can then reve in much wealth and beer, and "cus: tremendous, while other prominen i Republicans, white and black, stan( around with their fingers in theil mouths
 There are no insects buzzing around our Postmaster. He is req double-barrel boss.

On the 9th inst, Hon rhos. C. McRae addressed the House in oppo- sition to silver bullion certificates and in favor of the free coinage of silver. It was an able speech and was well received, having been often applauded by his associates. In it he showed up the true inwardness of the pending Republican measure, a strike at demonetizing silver, as was done by this party in 1873. MT. McRae is constantly winning fresh hurels in Congress.

wHIsKEY IN ORIGINAL PACK

On Saturday, at LeavenwoFth' Kansas. Judge Caldwell, of the C' $. Circuit Court, decided that per sons living in another State may ship to. and sell whisky in, Prohl- bition State and district, in original packages, be they small or large. Declared that any State law making the sale of whisky in original packa- ges crime.

 Judge Caldwell, who made the decision, is an ardent p,ohibitionist himself, but was forced to make rulings against it, according to the letter of the law, and, it Is said, this kills prohibition, unless Congress en- acts law for its protection. Such measure is now pending il Congress-

TO THE COLORED VOTERS.

The Democratic party has pre- sentcd its county ticket to the peo- pie of Nevada county, and they ask for support of same all good citizens of every race and color. That ticket is composed of true and faithful men, of men who are honest and capable and we'll qualified to discharge the duties that will devolve upon them in their several stations. But we de sire specially to address a few words to our colored friends on the interest they have in the success of our party, not only in this county election but also in the State and Congressional elections.
 In the first place, then, we main tain that the interests of the white and black races are identical in the South, and as the solid South is con trolled by the Democracy it becomes the interest and duty of the colored people to accept the situation, and place themselves in harmony with the dominant party of the section in winch they live. This is manifestly the dictate of sound judgment and reason, as their best friends are found in the ranks of the Democratic party. The great majority of the white people of the South are sOlidly and uncompromsingly Democratic. and the colored people are their neighbors and largely dependent on them for employment, necessary aid to education, and the proper ad- justment of the various relations be- tween the two races.
 In the next place, the Democratic party stands upon the grand old lief fersonian principle of equal rights 10 all, and special privileges to none, while the Republican party, that professes such great friendship for the colored brother, IS the party of high protection and class legislation The Democratic party is the friend of the toilng masses, while the Re publican party is the champion of the capitalist and the wealthy cor poration.
 The peace and happiness of our colorcd friends depend, therefore, upon the maintenance of the existing status, and the continued dominance of the Democracy.
 CoIored people of Nevada county, study well your interests, stand hy the people among whom you have been raised, and with whom you are identified in interest, and frown upon every man as an enemy who would counsel you to antagonize the sec ton in which you live, or disturb the peaceful relations existing between the two races which providence has thrown together in our sunny South land. It is in your power to solve the race problem, about which SO much has been said, by cultivaiing peace and harmony with your white neighbors, ny working out your own political salvation along the lines which q wise providence has marked out, and by q judicious use of all the means and facilities for cnlighten- mcnt and elevation which have been placed within your reach.

But let Il, have the figures, no matter who it hurts.-[Dispatch.
 By all means. That is what the PIcAYUNE has been calling on the Dispatch to do. Several weeks ago the Dispatch made . positive, unqualified charge that the Demo crats received money from the school book trust for use in the school elcc- tion. Last week it intimated that if the proof was made it would place q prominent citizen in an unenyiable position. Having placed the impa- tation upon every man who voted for Waller and Stainton. our contempo- rary now aggravates the wrong by narrowing the charge down to one man, without disclosing his name, or otherwise identifying him to it's read CTS.

In conversation with the reporter of Democratic paper while in at tendance upoa thc so-called |.

Such assaults" are called '.lovc-licks. Gov. CD Nor woods "dog-gonc Clayton" was merely fervent lovc-lick.
