Flshback's Strength.

Fort Smith Times.
 A correspondent of the Gazette from Conway says:
 "Of the candidates mentioned for gubernational honers, w. NJ. Fishback seems to be the favorite with our peo- pie. He is very popular; will carry a large vote in this county should he re- ceive the nomination. Many of the Iib- eral republicans and wheelers twill support him on account of valuable service done by him in relieving the state of a fraudulent debt. In past years the services rendered by him are fresh in the minds of the people and they want to repay him."
 Fishback has always carried larger vote before the people than any other candidate,
 He got more votes four years ago than any other presidential elector. He got upwards of two thousand more votes in this county than Rector, Eagle, Hughes and Fletcher combined and nearly three hundred more votes than any other candidate in this cOun- ty, though several of them had no op- position, while he had four opponents.
 Alliance men by the thousands will support him because they know he is conscientious in his opposition to the sub-treasury scheme, and frankly gives his reasons for his faith.
 He is the strongest man before the poodle in this state.

The Force Bill is a Live issue

National Washington, D. c. Democrat
 In spite of the article by Senator Me Milan, lately published in magazine, we believe that the force bill is not a dead issue, and that if Senator McMil- lan's party can carry the election next fall national election law will be enacted inside of two years. The re- publicans will probably not attempt just the same sort of bill as the Lodge bill. In fact two years ago the republican senators amended the bill till John I. Davenport, it's real. and Messrs. Powell and Lodge, it's putative parents, hardly recognized it. but the thing that WAS common to the senate and the house bills was the national control of the election machinery. That the republicans are thoroughly satisfied is in their interest. and that they are bound to have.
 4 few republicans because they are sensible and patriotic, and some be- cause they are timid, gave little sup port to the force bill of two years ago and would oppose any renewed effort in that direction. But these are not the men who are blazing the way foI the Republican party to follow: The president believes in national cleo tion law:he is thoroughly committed tc the project. MT.

dent is almost certain. so that a repub- lican victory next fall would mean four years mere of Mir. Harrison, and would be regarded by him and his friends as a specific endorsement of all his views on public affairs, including d national election law.
 It is hardly too much to say that ex- Speaker Reed Is the most powerful man in the Republican party. He is one of the few men who make others do as he wishes. He is a leader. not because he can shout louder than others, but because men do what he commands them to even against their beliefs and interests. This man be- lieves as fully in national election law as he did two years ago. And, be- sides this. he believes in the absolute control of the house of representatives by the majority party; as absolute a control as the party successful in a national election has over the presiden- tial office. The house is to him not de- Lucrative but an executive body.
 George K. Edmunds has resigned from the senate, but he still has per sonal influence, and his views are rep resentative of whati is in many respects best in the Republican party. He is not a man would steal power for him. self, and in certain lines he has taken strong ground in favor of the power of states as against that of the federal gov. ernment. Yet he believes in a nation al redistricting law, which, enacted by his party. would be one solid gerry mander from Eastport to San Diego. The greater number of small states that are republican give that party d number of votes in the electoral col lege out of proportion to the popular vote, so that in election after election the republicans get majority of the electoral votes while in d minority on the popular vote. The gerrymander- ing of states long in possession of the Republican party, and the prepospter- ouS electoral systems of Connecticut and Rhode Island. give the republicans an ascendency in tue senate to which their numbers do not entitle them. The republicans, therefore, recognized that their strength is greatest when the voice of the people is least heard, and the more the popular influence can be shut out of elections the better the re- publican chance of harvesting the re- suit is. Therefore they want to dis trict the country from the national capital, and they want to have all the votes counted by persons selected here in Washington by the central authority of the Republican party.
 If the Democratic party shall allow itself to be divided on personal or eco homie questions the republicans will carry the election of president and house of representatives this fall and in that event in two years from now an act of congress will divide all the states into congressnal districts so that the republicans will have three-fourth majority at least, and the returns in 1896 will be canvassed by returnings board selected by President Harrison with the assistance of Col. Dudley and Senator Quay and Mir. Clarkson.

Hiii Cannot Carry New York

Nashville Armerican.
 The advocates of Senator Hill for the presidential nomination have based | their arguments mainly upon the one alleged fact that their man could sure ly carry New York and that without New York the democrats could not win. Availability has been the cry and shout until many democrats have al- 1 lowed themselves to be deluded thereby into belief that probably after all Hill would be the suitable man for the oc. casiun.
 As matter of fact, can Mir. Hill carry New York2 As further mat l ter of fact, is he not the most unayail- able man whom the party could nomi. nate?
 The American believes that Mir. | Hill would be overwhelmingly defeated | if nominated, and that the very causes which have made him prominent would drag him down and make him hu- initiating spectacle in the eyes of the world.
 Whatever may be the senator's vir- tues, whatever his strength and what ever his great powever, 1t is a matter as undeniable as the truth of proven history that his political standing is no such as to commend him to independ- ent and unprejudiced American voters The responsibility of the Democratic party has long held aloof from him and his methods. The reading public have not eeen able to deduce from his pub lie utterances that he is either states. man or halfway statesman. He is simply an astute, bold, cool, deliberate, seiish politician who has ambition and the knowledge of men and tactics to enable that ambition to satisfy itself. l During the last few months Mir. Hill has Oyerreached himself. He has been too bold, too strategic and too grasp ing. Instead of going to battle openly and fairly, he has proceeded upon the | theory that the presidency of the United States should be sought as are the ward offices of Tammany districts. In short, he has acted as a pirate, talked as an imbecile and Haunted his person.
 ality about the political highways and public places of the nation with brazen effrontery.
 The recent election in New York state, those of the past week, go to | illustrate the reaction now taking place against Hill and his methods. | The city and town elections in diff l ferent portions of the state show dem- ocratic reverses. The republicans elected mayors in Utica. Oswego and msterdam, and in Elmira the regu- lar democratic candidate, championed by Senator Hill, carried but one ward of the city.
 The republicans also made gains in supervisors, and in Duchess county.
 where last year the board stood eigh- tean democrats to eight republicans, 1t
 is believed that the republicans have elected fifteen members and the demo- crats eleven.
 These elections show the unpopulari-
 ty of Hill. They do not show any weakening of democracy. New York
 is a democratic state and with any other candidate than Mir. Hill will
 elect democratic electors.
 The selection especially of such a
 man as Grover Cleveland would give evidence unto the best classes of New
 York voters that the Democratic party
 is party of courage, integrity, issues

Rhode Island, Indiana and probably Illinois and Iowa and the great Northern states of Wisconsin and Michigan would come into the democratic camp.
 Mir. Hill cannot carry New York and that fact in addition to his general unfit. ness for the presidency, should elimi- nate him from further consideration.

TIE judicial and executive officers Of Shelby county, Tenn, have won an enviable fame for fidelity to duty and intelligent efficiency in performance of that duty. For acriminal to visit their jurisdiction was almost tantamount to apprehension and conviction. They possessed the utmost confidence of their constituency. Therefore, the lynching of the negroes from the Memphis jail Wednesday morning of last week was less cxcusable than any occurrence of like nature that has come under our observation in some time. The lynch CTS must have known punishment swift and sure would be meeted out to the offenders, and knowing this, they are guilty of a great crime in taking tbe law into their own hands and intiicting death penalty. The provocatlon was great-very great. Several faithful of ficers, in the discharge of their duty, had been shot down by ambushed negroes But the mob could have learned val uable lesson from the companions of these wounded men. In the presence of their bleeding comrades these heroic men overcame the strong temptation to wreak summary vengeance upon the as sassins and landed them safely in pris- on, where they belonged, subject to the disposal of the properly constituted legal authorities. This was a splendid object-lesson for the angry citizens, and it would have been well if they had studied it carefully.
