Danger Ahead,

Fort smith Times.
 Men and brethren of the democratic preserve mean truly democratic, not the half and-half nor the ticket scratch ing kind-never since the days of re- construction was the Democratic party in such danger of utter ruin as now from the schemipg of bosses at Little Rock to defeat the popular will.
 Never in the history of any party was there such an overwhelming ma joiity of the people in favor of a can didate as are new fayorlng Colonel Fishback. These bosses, led by a lot of politicians in Little Rock and using Met l.. Jones as their tool, have put ont feeiers aud tried the name of nearly every prominent man in the state. but the people have sent back but one answer-"We want Fishbackl'
 They now, not daring to run an open and avowed candidate, propose, as in Arkansas county, to get each county to instruct for some local fa- voritc in order to get Il convention together of men who, not being in- structed for Colonel Fishback, are open to manipulation by these bosses, clamor about split in the party if the favorite of so per cent of the people should be nominated, when the real danger lies iii just the opposite difec- ton.
 Hundreds and thousands of men honest, earnest men, not politicians of the Met Jones, Charles Gordon New man stripe, but democrats heard to say all over the state that if their wishes are thwarted by such trickery they will not vote for the nominee. The very contrast between Colonel Fishback's conduct as democrat and these men who are allowing the use of their names to defeat the will of the people will only intensity the disgust of the people,
 We are unwilling to believe that Hon. Joe House will allow the use of his name in White county, as it is said is to be done; nor Hon. Asa Morgan the use of his i'll Ouachlta. In the name of all that is decent ill politics or patriotic in our party, let us beg of you to see that your counties go up in- structed only for an open and avowed candidate. There is not sensible man in the state who does not know that Fishhack can carry larger ma jority of the popular vote than any man since reconstruction.
 There is not patriotic democrat in the state who, if the bosses carry out their scheme, does not tremble for the result.

The Cat Out.

The United States court at this place is republican headquarters. Here swarm republican witnesses and repub- Iican jurors, republican deputy marshals and republican politicians.
 Shortly after the publication of the editorial of the St. Louis Republic Of the 18th upon the Reynolds letter to Met Jones, caucus of five of these office holders was held in . certain back room, and d little bird has been whispering the nature Of the speech which was made by the leader of the gang. But as we were not allowed to give the name of our author, we have suppressed its publl- cation until HOW. Boles and Barnes, ill their public speeches before the re- publican convention held in this city on Saturday, let the cat out. IL IS no longer a secret. We might almost put the language in the mouths of these two speakers.
 In our little caucus the leader is re- ported, in substance, as follows: By Cd, we've got 'em on the hip. We have got them on the defensive referring to the Republics article), They'll not nominate Fishback. He will either withdraw or they will defeat him. No union man can be nominated in Ar kansas. Here's the testimony of the leading democratic paper i'll the West, backed by dozen editorials of leading democratic papers in Arkansas, that # is because Fishback was E union man. They can't explain it away. l have saved up these editorials and sent copies to two of our leading papers West.
 (Which ever horn of the dilemma they take we've got them. If they admit that it was because he was a union man, then they are estopped from ob- jecting to our appeal to the bloody shirt. "
 If they say it is not because he was union man, but because he abused Jeff Davis and other leaders of the South. they can't make any sensible man believe that they expected a unjon man or a secessionist in 1861 and 1884 to call each other ''honey" or my love-" tthough democrats are d-m fools enough to believe anythlngl.
 "If they say it is because Fishback Is A d-m scoundrel, it would be the joke of the age. They selected him of all their other leaders to write those u-Hl lltS aDOQt AOSpAioti NNbAOi' " their congressional committee has had published in book form and scattered all over the country. Wouldn't it be a huge joke if they admitted that they selected a d-m scoundrel for that work?'
 ''They elected him presidential cleo tor for the state at large four years ago. Their committees have been calling on him for years to lead theiI forces, or as one of his leading demo- cratic opponents admits. they have made him a major general of theiI forces for years. Wouldn't it be huge joke if they admit that they select their d-m scoundrels for leaders?
 We've got them on the defensive and without the ability to successfully defend"
 We print the above little speech. tc let the fool politicianers" know whall sort of trap they are falling into, anc now comes Tullis, of the Hope Gazette in speech and gives them another witness that it is because he is a union man.-See speech at Texarkana the other night.-Ft. Smith Times.

IsN'T it just a little surprising that the old "wah horses" are compelled to 20 way back" thirty years to find something against Fishback? Hasn't he done anything mean for thirty years? Heavens, what a record to be proud of Show us such another record in the state, will you? Among men generally, two or three years is sufficient time in which the mud-slipgiug politicianer finds something to besmirch their names. Get out with your "wah' V records.

 FlshbaCk.

The Sebastian county ex-confeder- ate association adopted the following resolutions last Thursday night:
 Whereas, we are informed from let ters published in some of the newspa- pers of the state that very few of our late companions in arms are inclined to oppose the candidacy of Col. w. NJ. Fishback for the democratic nomina- tion for governor, and it having been publicly asserted throughout the state that their opposition was because Of his service as a union soldier during the late war, and having known Col. Fishback before and since the war to be patriotic and progressive citizen, and that since the war he has opposed, with all his might, the proscriptiye measures attempted to be foisted on the Southern people by congress, and has in all respects shown himself to be friend to the South, therefore be it
 Resolved, that we commend him to the people of the state for his fidelity in the past and his loyalty to the people among whom he has lived for the past thirty years.
