THE union labor convention held in Little Rock last week, to which the republican assistants looked with pleasurable anticipation, turn. ed out to be a very tame affair after all. But little enthusiasm was man ifested during the proceedings, ex- cept when some speaker would de. nounce democracy for every crime imsgineable. It was noticeable that not one word was uttered against the republican party. The entire proceedings were "cut and dried' to marked degree, showing that the program had been fully arranged be fore hand. All the candidates were nominated by exclamation. MT. Morgan, chairman of the State cen tral committee admitted that the U. L. party was badly demoralized and said there were not twenty five coun ties in the state in which there were active workers for the party. The leaders were undismayed, however, by this frank confession. Looking as they do to the republican party for the bulk of their votes, they can afford to see their own party strug gle on so long as the republican ma chine is intact.

THERE are sIgls of victory along the line. The governor and state ticket, with two congressman, and Pope county redeemed, then what & jubilee will follow" w."-Peoples' Vim. dIcator.
 Yes, we have witnessed that kind of jubilee. The same crowd that issued bonds by the million to paper-railroads, would re- joice. The same crowd that issued orders to remove honored citizens because they were troublesome, would rejoice. The same crowd that disfranchised whole counties by set ting aside the registration, would re- joice. The same crowd that bank, rupted the state, county and munici. pal treasurles, would rejoice. The same crowd that sent out militia companies to depredate and murder innocent citizens, would rejoice. The same crowd that passed the amnesty act to shield murderers and theiyes, would rejoice. The same crowd that hundreds of Pope county citizens and murdered in cold blood some of her best people, would rejoice.
 That there would be be a grand jubilee upon the return to pow er of this same old crowd there can be no doubt. But the can rest assured that the old crowd will not be so favor ed. The people, whose recollections are as vivid as in 1874, are active md vigilsnt.

THE Faulkner County Wheel, published at Conway, by Brant Farmer. contained the statement last week that MT. Jeff Davis stated a short time ago in a public speech in Yell county, that the union labor party was the party of the people and would be successful in the pres ent campaign. Mir. DayIs pro nounces the statement 8 lie out of whole cloth and challenges the proof. The people generally should beware of sensational stories set afloat by political opponents on the heels of elections. They are usually mon. strous fabrications unworthy of con sideration or belief.

half? If they do expect to be benefited by his candidacy why deny that there is collision between these two parties to compass the de feat and downfall of the democratic party?

WHY don't the union labor papers which have so much to say about the peculation of democratic state treasurers, Ia great deal of which has been recovered from their bonds men, say something once in while about the republican rascality in Arkansas during period of six years, resulting in grand steal of nearly $I0,000,000. Subtract the democratic embezzlement and there is balance sa the credit of that side of the house of nearly $S,000,- 900. And while we are on the sub ject we might as we'll allude to the fact that since the organization of the Wheelers in this country there has been stolen from kindred associations, by the custodians of their funds, several hundred thou
 sand dollars. This does pretty we'll for the short time they have been in business. This latter fact, however, does not justify or palliate the offenses of the other parties, but it goes to show that rascals creep in to all partie. who need watching. The democratic policy is to relegate such to the rear. The republican method is to promote them to positions of power and influence, in stance Quay. The union labor idea is to conceal their own short comings, but give the other fellows fits.

THE only maternal result of the union labor state convention was the making of mighty poor politI- clan out of passably good preacher. Brother Fizer certainly has the right to forsake a worthy cause for one less worthy, if he so desires, but he will find before he is done, that no man was.eyer swerysd from noble and honorable course by more un scrupulous set Of political bueca. neers. His new affiliations place him without the pale of his old sssoci. ates and they will leave him to his fate.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. Kings New Discovery for Con
 sumption, Dr. Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or tha9 have given such universal satisfac- tion. We do not hesitate to guar antee them every time, and we stand oeady to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow thelr use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on theIr merits. J. w. Wells Druggist.

LET 1t be remembered that the VindIcator endorses the vote of Featherstone for the republican who was given Turpin's seat.
