SWEET DENIES IT.

On last Thursday that villanious and contemptiblc sheet, the Arkansas State Register, published what it termed an interview with one s. E. Sweet, of St. Francis county, in which Sweet Is quoted as saying many ugly things, winch are villainous lies, about the editor of this paper. Were we as strong as Sampson, and as clever with our fists us Sullivan, we haven't the time to undertake to punish every low down, contemptible cur, who imagines himself agrieved and barks at us. But for one fact, we should not notice, through TIE TIMES, this detestablc combination of filth.
 Saturday evening we saw the alleged interview, and Sunday morning made 1t our business to meet Sweet, In re- ply ts question as to whether or not he was responsible for the slanderous article. he denied any Knowledge of it, said he did not take the State Register and had not seen the article. but said he would see it and let us know on the following day. Since which time he has not been seen by us.
 From this conversation we derive these conclusion Sweet has either been unjustly accused of being inter- viewed, by the Register, and has been misqnoted. as means of venting the Registers spleen, or he was too cow ar,ily to own to it. If the article quotes him, he was certainly aware of it, and if aware of it told Il willful lie, in denying it. In either case, he has failed to keep his promise to let us know, which in itself is a lie.
 If Sweet is innocent of the islander, then We take this occasion to say that the man who penned that article, or who had anything to do with it, is q William and a slanderer, and the truth is far removed from his heart. He is not a fit associate of the lowest crimi. nal, and we hold him In supreme con. tempt, as do also allof the law-abiding and better class of citizens of this county and state. Sucl, men as the writer or originator of that islander have no principle, no honor, no integ rity, nothing, in fact, which is dear tt the the upright citizen and to true American manhood.
 In conclusion. we denounce the author KS william and a liar, and Vt are personally responsible for every, thing that appears in these columns.

THE MArTxn or A CoMrnJMlsE.

Since the Union Labor party saw lit to reject very fair and honorable pro- position of compromise from the Demo cratic party, and has not since offered anything which any sane man could hope would be accepted, and since the Union Labor party attempted to cast |, slur and reflection upon the intents of the Democratic party, the latter lias had mass-meeting of it's members. in which the county was grandly repre- sented, and it has very properly said that 1t is willing for every party in the county to have it's share of the ofiices, pro rated according to its proper strength. The proceedings of that mnss-meeting are published in full in another column. and contain matter of vital importance to every citizen Of St. Francis county. We hope every citizen will get copy and read it.
 The Union Labor party has openly declared that they will favor no propo- sition which will in any way shut out the republican party, and yet it only offered to give them one third in con vention in which it would also have one-third, and that, too, in the face of the fact that the Union Labor party casts but 24s votes and the republican party casts 92a. For Il handful of poli- ticians, they don't want much on this earth, but they do want 1t long time, don't tbey2
 The Democratic party has now offered fair divide; 1t is confidently expected that the republicans will ac- cept, and we do not understand why or how the Union Labor party can do otherwise. The proposition is in direct harmony with their expressed wish, it Is fair, 1t Is honorable and manly. and the democrats make all the sacrifice not, however. surrendering a single principle, nor admitting cause for the third party.
 Now, let us get together.

rnErnIS nAsK or UNION IA Borisx


 It Is extremely disgusting to read the lal,ored articles of the so-callcd Union Lal'cr newspapers, in which they at- tempt to keep themselves before the public as separate and distinct party, and that, too, in the face and conlra- dicti"n of all political events and as- sociations, which disproye it, and when the proof to the contrary is so abundant and conclusive. The result Of the Sep tember election. of 1888, in this county is cited by the union labor men as a signal victory for them and they no doubt feel that . similar walk -over'' awaits them in the coming contest. In that election the conglomerated mess of Union labor and Republican candidates carried the county by ma jorities ranging from % to 6l0. Note well the range. They had entered compact to vote q fusion ticket, yet the candidate for assessor fell short 520 votes; a fact conclusive that the com pact was dishonored, and for the reason that the candidate was a negro. The Democratic party acknowledges it's defeat to the Republican party, and in proof of the correctness of this ac- Acknowledgement, we cite tho vote of the Union Labor and Republlcan parties for President aud Vice President of the United States, which was the only contest participated in by them as dis tiuct parties; Streator and Cunning ham, Union Labor, received 2lS votes; Harrison and Morton, republican, 92,3; Cleveland and Thurman democratic, SS7. It is admitted that many repub- licans voted for Streator and Cunning ham. Hence it is readily seen that these majorities ranging from % to 6l0 votes, were only aided by 24s Union Labor votes-a mere handful of dis grnntled sx-demOcrats and office-seek CTS, which figures in fact, today rep resents more than tho true strength of the Union Labor party. It cannot be thought that this small sp,inkling of 1isgruntled men will ever be able to accomplish anything alone. They must have the support of the Republi- can party or take their place in the field as party too insignificant for notice. On the other hand the Repub- lican party, of itself, has no ray of hope in Arkansas, and being largely in the majority compared to the Union Labor party, it would not and could not lend it's support to the Union Labor candidates without consideration. The consideration is, that Powell Clayton and the balance of the old re- construction gang have been promised the right to dictate the course of the campaign and the policy of government. if successful We do not think . single intelligent gentleman can suc- cessfully contradict the assertion that the success of the Union Labor ticket means the success of the Republican party. And it is our opinion that the former is introduced not only as a snare to unsuspecting whites, but as an excuse to the negro. should he have all opportunity to demand recognition. In this belief we were supported by just exactly 9s ,363 citizens of the state in 1888. To-day the number is safely estimated at more than 100000. We invite you to vote against the Clayton party.
