DEMOCRATIC
 VICTORY

ITS ENEMIES
BURIED BENEATH AN AVA
 LANCHE OF VOTES.
THE FORGE BILL
And Mckinley's Tariff Plot
 Kicked in the Ribs.

h the whirlpool, down, down deep in the bottom of the sea, beyond the reach of the fretful gale, lie the hopes, the fond anticipations of the enemy. Popular indignation has branded the seal of infamy deep up on the name of the union labor-re- publican combine in Pope county and throughout the State. The par ty of deception, misrepresentation inconsistency and ali that is ignoble in polltlcs, took a tumble, and it bled so fast and far till at last il lodged in the bottom of the soup tureen. It has made it's 6na. kick, & feeble kick st that, and now stiff and stark it is laid upon the cooling board.
 Never was there q more quiet, or derly election in Pope county than that of Monday. There was no dis turbance at the polls. Democracy swept the county as anticipated. There was large vote boiled and the beauty of il was, It was wonder fully democratic. Many negroes voted the democratic ticket and many republicans scratched the union labor ticket fearfully.
 The day was almost perfect, ad mirably suited to election work. While realizing that victory was certain, the same splendid organiza- ton that had characterized the cam paign was kept up by the democrat ic workers at the polls. The union labor fellows lost heart early in the action and did not seem inclined to force the fight. They had tried in vain to work up enthusiasm during the canyass against the party that is fighting for political freedom in the south, but had utterly failed and there was nothing for them to do but to accept the inevitable. The red tickets of the democrats created little dismay among the opposition. One of the candidates on that side said they lost votes by it for some of their friends were weak kneed and would not vote the union labor tick ct if there was any way for it to be found out. A strange admission for s party claiming principle" as one of it's strongest tenets. The demo crats were not ashamed of their tick cts and put them in with great sat. isfaction and regularity throughout the day.
 The result in Illinois township was one of the most gratifying features of the contest. For six years the township has been close, too close to be comfortable. Two years ago, while we had a small majority for the State ticket, VIC lost the town ship officers. This is changed and we have elected three justices and constable by good majorities. IL WAS glorious days work and demo- crats are justly juhllant.

 LAMENTATIONS.

CHAPTER I.

Now, it came to pass in the days of the great crisis, of which thy serv- ant spake n the Second Book of the Exodus, that l, Phoenix, fell into 8 deep sleep and beheld visions and dreamed dreams, and 1 dreamed a dream that was not all dream.
 And in my dream I beheld, after the battle when the ClsYtonites were scattered unto the four winds of the earth, that they who dwelt in the province of Pope, fed into the mount
 aims of Crow, and cried aloud. weep ing, and waillng, and gnashing their teeth (the half Of which had been broken in chewing the shew bread ) and they mourned in sack cloth and ashes, and their wailIne was heard throughout all the land. And when l saw It, my spirit was sorely griey
 ed within me because of the thing, but I remembered the prophecy winch ssyeth: "Whatsoeyer & man soweth, that shall he also reap" And they cried out saying: 70, Fizer, FizeT, that great and deyout man, even our Moses, is fallen, IS fallen; how would we have gathered thee in to the High Courts of the Kingdom, even as hen gxthereth her brood, but the Jefersonians would not. And thou, Thomas, and Chambers, and even Mallett, the scribe, how we have Iabored for you. but ye are no more. O, Fizer. how often have we pstted thee on the back and stroked thy chin, and how often have we ca ressed thee, even as an ass earesseth her offspring; and how thou didst tickle us in the ribs and puf the smoke Of thy sweet scented cigar in our faces, but these are the fruits thereof! Verify, this is more than we can bear; our cup of bitterness rnnneth over, We writhe, we groan, we weep, the blood oezeth from our nostrils, our eyes are dlm, our YIsages have become black, yea, even As the charcoal, our skin elesyeth to our bones, the Death doth gnaw at our vitals, we feel badm And in my  night visions, I, Phenix, beheld the great city, Russellville, and few Of the children of Clayton were run nlng in the streets thereof, crying unto the walls 10 fail on them and hide them from the face of men. And l beheld the young Claytonian s.hired man" who writeth in the book which is called "The Peoples VIndIeator." running toward the sanctum sanctorum Of the two Macks and his father, s priest who was pos. sessed of "devil." sat in the door way, and said; "Methinks I see Walter, my dearly beloved son. in whom I am well pleased, approach ing afAr od, he bringeth tidings.r And the hired man drew nigh unto him, and the old man said unto him ~How gOeth the eiectionf Shall Fi- ger be our next KIng| But the hired man turned away from him angrily, and his countenance was fallen, and he answered him, saying; "Who Is Fizers I know not the

man. Go to; thou makest me wea- ry" And he wents into the sane tum ssnctorum and stuck hIs head into the paste pot, so that it did soak through and through. Then the priest beheld Brashears, the man who held the messages of the King dom in one hand, and thousand and an hundred shekels of silver in the other, coming very near unto him and he said unto him: What tid- ings, my lordg' And Brashears sad: Ill tidings for the Claytonltes. The Eagle hath plucked up our party by the roots.n Then they fell down and wept, and cast dust upon their heads. Aad the Mallett which did fly of it's handle continually, cried out, saying: What shall we write in the book which yIndicsteth the people, for our knowlege box hath become exhausted, and our motto "a free ballot" etc.-must be taken down, for the Jeaersonian ballots are as the colour of crimson" and he commanded the hired man to wiring the campaign rooster's neck, and cast it unto the dogs. Then they which were in tue street, finding DO comfort, stralghtway began to curse the book, saying: Depart from the land, thou blasphemer-thou worker Of iniquity, that hast brought this great tribulation upon US; that hast given us into the hand of the Jefier- sonians, who are swifter than eagles, and who doth pursue and persecEte us from the wilderness even unto the mountain tops. Verify, our end is come" And they cast stones to- ward the sanctum sanctorum, CUTS. ing, and swearing, and blaspheming, so that the men who wrote the book fled into the uttermost recesses ol the sanctum sanctornm, and com manded the ''devil7 10 smite them with the ''office toWep' B punishment which no man can undergo and live and called upon their gods to wipe them from the face of the earth. Thus the Scriptures were fulfilled, which saith: s.There is no rest for the wicked" and "The way of the transgressor is hard" So mote ii np

judged by it? We step aside in this case and let his denuneistions fall upon his own head. We let him get the full measure of the judge ment he would mete to us.
 The Clarksville Herald Journal says: "Mallette has brought thIs upon himself. His campaign has been one Of low, vile, false charges against individuals. His paper is made up of such stuff Now, charg es brought against him is only the fulfillment of scripture Whatsoever man soweth that shall he reap We may say further that another and very singular fact IS very no tcesble in the Vindicator's bitter ness. That fact is this: The editor bends his energies toward foul phrsseology instead of manly denial and necessary proof. He refers specially to only one of the items h the indictment Of Pos's letter against him, leaving 1t to appear that this was the only one on which he hoped to enter denial with any show of success. All the rest, and this one too, he endeavors to bury out of sight with his ponderous wrath and yellow bile.
 We may further say that this Ed. itor's fsilure to furnish this much needed endorsement and vlndication in his time of need was not for want of sn effort to do so. In his terror and distress he rushed to Prof. T. L. Cox of Morrilton in s letter for his endorsement. Endorsement was what he needed. VIndication he must have, but neither came. Prof. Cox. O, cruel fate, did not have that article in store for the forlorn  spostate. Unfortunate man, sure enough, when such long residence h such s near community furnish ed him with such an awful scarcity of such s needed article of little vindication or endorsement just st this particular juncture. Such re- suit never follows an upright life. Like Gains mark 1t follows slangh- tered manhood and 8 debased mind
 We may end this painful duty by saying that our aim is not to beat any man for office. No, mol It was larger than that. It was to show the true inwardness of spacious old political hypocrite and demogogue proven so first by the precedents he lays down himself for the judge ments of others; and secondly by the refusal of the man he sppeal, ed 10 in his profession for an en. dorsement; and thirdly, by the vol luminous and pointed testimony of many of the best known men in the country.

 MILAN. Aug. 22-l Special. = Some two or three months ago Bonnet Adams. Of Lsyinia, small town in Carroll county nine miles southeast of herc went to Russellville, Ark, and met Miss Clemmie Holmes, who had lived in the Lavinia neighbor- hood but moved to Arkansas some eight or ten years ago, and was unit ed to her in marriage.

A GREAT VICTORY.

The DEMOCRAT points with pride to the great achievement of the gal lant and unterrifed democracy ID Mondays contest The returns, al though incomplete and unofficial, are sufficient to indicate sweeping majority for the Democratic ticket.

The Good Work Will Go On.

Public sentiment here and throughout the State shows an over whelming sentiment in favor of the ratification Of the new charter of The Louisiana State Lottery Com pany, which will be submitted to the people of the State at an election h 1892. The present charter does not expire until 1895. However, long before that time the State of Louis jana will have made provisions to extend its contract with the lottery company until the year 1919. Of course there is no excitement about this matter, because it IS regarded as foregone conclusion. The Louis jana State Lottery Company has very generously made preparations to increase its contributions to the charities and public works in the State and these will go into full ef- feet n 1895, when the present char. ter expires to give way to second charter expiring in the year l9l9.- New Orleans (La.)

As to Prof. MaIlett.

The bitter. personal attack upon us last week by the edltor ot the Vim dIcstor after we had issued the DEN ocRAT rendered it necessary for us to issue an extra refuting the unjust, uncslled for and slanderous tirade of the enraged editor. This extra was issued Saturday after noon and sent out by hand but none Of them were mailed to our subscribers. Many of our readers have read the yillainous article in the Vindicstor but have had no op- portunIty to read our reply, hence we produce it for their benefit We are now done with this matter un less continued attack upon us ren- ders it necessary to make further exposure.
 From DEMOCRAT Extra, Aug. so
 WE exceedingly regret that CIT cumstances manufactured by the brain and by the hand of au unscru- pulous rascal seem to make it neees- sary for us to notice the sluice of scurrility belehed out by the VIndi cator In it's last issue, and we take this method of doing so.
 We wish to say in the outset that in our intercourse with men in the various departments of life, and es- pecially in that department where interruptions ambition leads bad men into the arena, we often have the unpleasant task thrust upon us of shoveling filth and dirt out of our way, and this is our unpleasant situ ation now. No man can read the columns of last weeks Vindicstor without becoming convinced Of this one fact, anyway, that it's editor is a thorough adept in the use of vile and disgusting phraseology. Every line of that sheet proves hls famil- iarity with the lowest depths Of cor ruption, both in his forms of expres- sion and the bitterness of his con captions, and these in turn prove him utterly unworthy of any mans confidence and support
 Now, look, while we pull aslde the curtain and show you this arch old hypoerite and demagogue unmasked, naked, and in his true coloTs.
