The Russellville Democrat., 1892-03-24

A STATE convention of the Peoples
party has been called to meet in
Little Rock June 81 to put state
ticket in the field and select dele
gates to the national convention at
Omaha July A. Who is to head the
state ticket is not known, nor can
it be guessed since ID. Z. Barker
threw away his chance by voting
against the st. Louis platform. 1t
has been announced that no man
who seeks the place will get the
nomination. This rules out Nc
Cracker, Bush, Prince, Brant and
the rest of the mouth farmers whose
lives the past few years have been
spent in the fruitless effort to chase
down some lucrative official position.
If the office seekers be shelyed and
sonred, the Peoples party will re-
semble spectre indeed.

THE Arkadelphia Siftings revives
an interesting scrop of history in re-
gard to Gen. Reynolds who pretends
to oppose Col. Fishback ON account
of his political inconsistency. 1t is
asserted that the General bolted the
judicial nominee of his party in
1878 and supported an independent
candidate. 1t is now in order for
the gentleman from "Sheeco" to
write another letter in defense of his
own record. AS the case rev stands
he is considerably disfigured.

The next legislature ought to en-
act law to regulate primary cleo
tions. Where ever tried the pri-
mary system is admittedly prefer
able to the convention plan for ar
irving at the choice of the people as
to standard bearers, but at the same
time few abuses have crept in,
which, If unchecked by legislative
enactment, will ultimately render
primaries as odious as conventions
have become. Discussing this sub
jeet tie Memphis Commercial has
an excellent article so applicable to
our state that we reproduce it be
low:
"a bill has been introduced in the
Mississippi legislature TO regulate
primary elections and punish frauds
perpetrated on the voters in such
elections. There is much TO com
mend such law as this. Under our
system of party government the ac-
ton of the convention of the domi-
nant party is usually final and
equivalent to an election. Whatev-
err wrongs may be committed they
are irremediable and generally are
not known, as there are no means of
judicially investigating charges of
corruption. They are generally re-
garded AS the mere angry recrimina-
ton of a heated contest, are passed
unnoticed by the majority Of voters
or soon forgotten. 1t is possible,
indeed it is very often the case. that
the party machinery falls into the
hands Of corrupt managers and
frauds are Systematically perpetrat-
ed, making il impossible to over
come the machine, no matter how
strong the opposition. The cor
ruption practiced in the primaries
and conventions taints the election.
no matter how fairly it may be con
Quoted Corrupt men are thus plac-
ed in office by corrupt practices, and
there Is no help for it. A striking
illustration Of this appeared in the
effort to unseat Senator PAYNE, OF
Ohio, because his seat had been OBJ
tanned by bribery, the Senate refus-

was directed at Mr.. Fishback, of
course, and was intended as an an
swer to some of his critics, but more
particularly to show that the
writer objected to Mr.. Fishback not
on account of his union proclivities
thirty years ago, but because his
political record fails to come up to
the Reynolds standard A great
many people believe his aversion to
the Sebastian statesman dates from
the adoption of the Fishback amend
ment which outlawed certain rail
road aid and levee bonds in which
numerous gentlemen in "Sheeco"
and eastern Arkansas were interest
ed. A statement from Gen. Rey-
nolds on this point would be an in
teresting diversion from the lines of
the present controversy and fill a
long felt want.

THE Jones Reynolds correspond
ence relative to the candidacy of
Col Fishback for governor has
elected much interest throughout
the state. One of the latest phases
of the affair is the enquiry of the
Arkansas City Journal into the rec
ord of Col. Jones. In its last issue
it inquiries:
where was Col. Met l. Jones,
the author of the intensely patriotic
and ultra Confederate letter which
Gen. Reynolds copied in his last
communication published last Sun
day, during the unpleasantness?
Where was this would-be Warwick
when the shots were falling thick
and fast and fierce battles were be-
ing waged by the contending armies?
Go ask the wild waves of the Mis-
sissippi and if they can talk they
will probably tell you that Col.
Jones was doing a land office bus
mess running a skiff ferry at some
point on the great father of waters
and that he charged Confederate
soldiers who were compelled to pat
ronize him on their journeys home
ward to their families the modest
sum of So, We say that the wild
waves would probably tell you this
if they could talk. Our information
is they .1uid

Col. Z. w. RECTOR authorizes the
statement that he has decided not to
enter the gubernatorial race and
gives as his reason his inability to
raise money sufficient to make the
canvass. That excuse is very trans
parent. 1t is more probable that
his decision was based upon the
fact that his prospective candidacy
had failed to awaken sufficient en-
thusiasm to justify confidence in the
successful issue of his canvass. Be
ing banker the money could have
been secured without doubt, but
votes were not to be had so easily.
Hence he get outs of the way of the
Fishback avalanche as gracefully as
possible.
