THE FIBER CAMPAIGN.

VI | iENls NIN N.' ''' A'N l''i'~''' candidate for Governor, Ill his can vass over the State, proclaims in Democratic strong holds that he is a Democrat. He does this in the face of the fact that he is trying to defeat the Democracy through Powell Clay tons influence. He hopes to induce Democrats to vote for him by using any kind of deception, of which this bold-faccd assertion is one of the chief.
 He harps on q free ballot and a fair count" claiming that the Dem ocracy does not give it, while at the same tune he and his party favor the outrageous force bill, which is but similar election law 10 that under which his boss, Powell Clayton, dis franchised thousand, from IoGS to
 1871. scratching off the registration lists as many Democrats as needed to elect his tools and fayorites.
 But the people cannot be deceived by Mir. Fizer Ills campaign is but a repetition of that of Norwood's two years ago, when Clayton, Me Clure X Co. used him as tool. Poker Jack Mcclure is Clayton $ right hand man, In speech at the State house in 1888, opposing the nomination of q straight out Repub- lican ticket and fayoriug pr. Nor wood, Mcclure used the following language:
 l want to makea few ,usgc,tons If the Whcclers think they can reform these chaps (wo tried reform in ls6s) I'll follow along behind and see what they do, l won't have anything to d. with it. If they think they can turn out the Democrats, that is all right. I'll encourage that sort of d.-at'tction. l opposed the Republican partieipaney in ls7g My object wa- to create di>,ensioa~ in the Democratic party In lN1s l said it Wa, nonsense to pat put A ticket. always opposed putting out ta ticket ever since np to lS>6. Republicans, go home and "Sitolo the Wheclers, agitatc anybody into open rebellion against the Democratic party. We are tired ot being cowboys to Democrats, w. have held our party together for elSh- teen ycars, and Dow We see d~cord in the Democratic party Encourage it, and as sis, the dissatisfied in organizing Our dig giug time will come Husband your re- sources for the congressional elections. Spend your money in your coua,ics. Do not cast your bread upon the waters; tor the Arkansas river !, u}l of catfish, oud it will never return.
 Now, is this not sufficient to prove the so-callcd L. L. party is but the Republican party in disguise: "Onr digging time will come 7" They know all roads from Democracy lead into the Republican camp, and that if they elect a man Governor they can use and control him. As an exchange well says; "Norwood' $ successor as decoy for the Rcpubli- can party in 1890 is Rev N. B. Fizer, who also was caught with de- lusiye bait labelled "Goycrnor. It is still McClure's opinion that through the cxcrtions of such men as and Fizcr, who deny their identity with the Republican party they so zeaIously serve, Republican digging time" will finally come. If MT. Fizer should happen to be Clayton, Mcclure X Co. I would never let him have Che nomi- nation for a second term unless he came out boldly as q straightout Re publican.
 If q prctcndcd friend should ap proach your house loudly condemn ing burglars, robbers and cutthroats,
