The Republican League.
ITS CHARTER AND ITS AIMS.
To Be a Good Ci,izen One Must Be
an Active Politician.

Twelve Thousand League Clubs.
The National Repub lican League
is a social. political body. 1t is neither
intended nor permitted to serve the
interests of individuals or factions.
Nor is it designed to take the place
in campaign work of the regular party
organizations. Its prominent aim is
educational. BY the constant and
harmonious effort of many thousands
of local clubs it proposes in every
community throughout the land to
teach the principles of the Republi-
can party, and to enforce upon every
citizen who believes in those prin-
ciples the duty of becoming In their
behalf an active politician, The
League believes in the reign of the
PLAIN people. 1t considers with
Speaker Reed that "the averagesense
OF all is better for all than the best
sense of any" 1t believes that Re.
publican principles and policies are
drawn from the views of the plain
people. 1t thinks, indeed, that no
honest, fairminded, intelligent citizen
mark the conditions) can con scien-
riously study the history of his coun.
try, it's present needs and affairs,
and the issues now pending before
the public conscience, without decid-
ing 10 express his will 10 the form OF
= Republican ballot. The existence
of the Democratic party is sufficiently
accounted for by the unhappy fact
that folly, prejudice, ignorance and
negation are still vital forces among
men.
The League seeks in its work to
touch the social instinct. 1t thinks
by this means not only to reach large
bodies of the people whose attention
could not otherwise be obtained, but
to get closer view of the everyday
thoughts and aspirations of the Ma.
ton. Already It's members constitute
q full twelfth of the legal voters.
Within another year 1t is con fidently
anticipated that they will constitute
3 full fourth. Already on its Its OF
membership are enrolled l,1OO, 900
American voters, divided into 10000
separate organizations. In almost
every county of every State, League
clubs have been formed, and the aim
of its officers now lie 30 to complete
this great work of organization that
there shall presently be q club in
every community capable of sustain
ing one 1t is expected that each of
these associations shall maintain
permanent headquarters where it's
members may always meet in friend
ly intercourse; where discussion shall
be frequent, fall and frank; where
Republican literature shall be pro.
fusely supplied-a place from which,
in season and out of season, an in
f1uence shall depart strongly working
for the honor and good Of the commu.
ity and the Nation, through the Re-
publican marty. These and similar
means will be exerted in every city
aud hamlet, and indeed, at every
crossroads throughout the United
States to create Repu blicans as well
as to stir those alredy created to
steadily active and Jealous work. It'll
is intended, in word, that perma.
nent organization, instantly efficient
in the party service, shall every where
exist.

No coon democrat. whatever


 No GOOD democrat, whatever his personal grievance or his private opinion as to the availability of can didates, will scratch the party tick ct this year. If there ever was an excuse for desertion it was because the issues at stake were unimpor- tant. No honest man should vote for an unfit person for any public trust. But neither of these reasons can be urged in support of the course of the democrat who goes of after false gods at this time. The ticket the democratic party presents is unimpeachable. The issues of the campaign are fraught with the greatest importance. The force bill, which means centralization, and the high tariff system, which means le- galized robbery, are the questions upon which the county IS divided. It is the duty of every democrat to give his influence in every possible way against both centralization and tariff theft. He will therefore vote the democratic ticket for congress man and presidential electors. The third party is helpless as far as practical results are concerned. It cannot hope to inaugurate the re- forms it advocates because of the lack of power. The best in its plat form is part of the democratic faith. The worst in its demands will never be enacted into law. While the third party is powerless to secure reforms, the republicans are pledged against any tariff changes and stand committed to every centralizing measure. This is no time for the patriot or retormer to go over to the opposition. In the democratic par ty is the only hope.

 In addition there was heavy pen sion deficiency, and the postoflice ap- propriations, which are chiefly met by postage.
 Here we have picture of the po- litical situation:
 A Robber Tariff,
 A force bill threatening.
 Extravaganza everywhere.
 These are the evils that must be cured by democratic supremacy. Is this time for southern democrats to run off after strange gods? They must choose not between Cleveland and Weaver, but between Cleveland and Harrison. There is no alterna- tive. MT. Harrison or MT. Cleveland will be the next president. The election of Cleveland means freer trade, lower taxes, economy in pub lie expenditures, home rule.
 The election of Harrison means hard times, higher taxes, restricted trade, corruption and extravaganza, negro postmasters in the south and the force bill.
 Look on these two pictures farm CTS, grangers, alliance men, third par ty men, democrats and patriots, and then decide how you will cast your votesl

Rally Round the Flag.

From the Courler-J0ufnat
 The election of Cleveland will de. pend on a united democracy. In New York the factions are getting together, differences are healing and enthusiasm is growing.
 It is the republicans not the dem ocrats who are blundering in this campaign.
 Blaine's attempt to get the nomi- nation at Minneapolis was a blum der.
 Mir Harrison's refusal to consent to the selection of MT. Clarkson as Chairman of the Republican Com mittee was blunder.
 The choice of hired lobbyist" for that position was a blunder.
 The opposition to the confirma- tion of Judge Shiras promoted by Senators Quay and Cameron was a blunder.
 The retention of Raum is blum der
 The appointment of negro post master at Charleston, s. c. was a blundeF.
 The withdrawal of the nomination was another blunder.
 The Mckinley bill is a blunder of such stupendous proportions that it reaches the dignity of a crime.
 But all of these will avail nothing unless democrats north, south, east and west realize the importance of success in this campaign, and work in every State, certain or doubtful, as if the election of Mir Cleveland de pended upon the electoral vote of that State.
 Especially is it time for southern democrats to pull together for the success of the Chicago ticket
 The Peoples party is a delusion; it is a devise of the enemy. Even if successful it would only keep the word of promise to ear and break it to the hope.
 But it's success is impossible. It is not a compact organization ap- pealing to the sympathy and intelli- gence of the American people. It is a gathering of irreconcilable ele- ments, appealing to class prejudices. under the command of worn out po- litical demagogues, and can no more hold together than rope of sand.
 Here is the great issue of 1892.
 Freer trade and wider markets.
 Rigid economy in public expen- ditures.
 Home rule and no force bill.
 The iniquitous tariff coniiscates one fourth of the products of the farm.

TIE instructions of Poker Jack Mcclure to his supervisors to in spect every ballot made out by the election judges on the Sth of Nov ember is universally considered a high-handed and unwarranted pro ceeding. It is an attempt to over ride the plain provisions of the law and would invalidate the election itself if permitted. The supreme court of the United States has just decided states rights question in favor of Michigan, and it surely will not be seriously contended that Ark ansas is less entitled to the benefit of that excellent democratic doc urine than it's sister state. It is not disputed that the supervisors have a right to attend the polling place and watch the counting of the ballots but to inspect the tickets of the voters, never That would be in. timidation pure and simple, and this the law was expressly designed to prevent.

Hoods SarsapariIIa
: HON. M. L. DAVIS.
Presidential Elecfor for the Fourth Con-
 qressionaI District.

Next Saturday Hon. Marcellus Davis. of Dardanelle, presidential elector for this district, will address the people at Russellville He is graceful and forcible speaker and words of praise come from every place he has spoken. The following press notices will give some idea of the treat in store for those who hear him at this place:
 Morrilton Headlight: Monday evening at one o'clock, before the court assembled, Hon. NJ. L. Davis, of Dardanelle, one of the democratic presidential electors, made speech. The courthouse was comfortably full and his talk brought forth rounds of applause. While not touching much on the tariff and money issues, it was speech calcu- lated to arouse the spirits of demo- crats and bring wandering ones back to the fold of truth and democ- racy. Mr. Davis is one of the most scholarly speakers in the upper Ar kansas Valley and will interest any audience
 Morrilton Pilot: Hon. NJ. L. Davis, one of the Democratic Pres idential Electors for this, the fourth congressional district, addressed large audience at the court house Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. He was enthusiastically applauded from beginning to finish. The time occu- pied by him did permit him to speak to any great extent upon the tariff and silver questions, yet his effort was superb and of nature to win to Democracy those who have wandered from it's fold. Upon the whole his speech was logical, classi- cal and scholarly, political feast to any listener. He is doing villiant work, and he has the enthusiastic and hearty support of the Pilot. Clarksville Herald-Journal: The presidential elector for this district, Hon. M. L. Davis, of Dardanelle, delivered an address at the court house on Monday night, before large crowd, many of them being ladies Mr. Davis is an able gentle man and his discourse was an ex- cellent presentation of the Demo cratic position upon the issues di- viding the two great parties. He said it was strange that the Third Party took occasion to attack the Democratic party in it's platform, yet had not syllable of condemna tion for the Republican party. He argued that there was nothing small about the Peoples Party except the number of it's members. He touch ed upon those wild delusions the sub-treasury, land loan and govern ment ownership of railroad schemes and unfolded their evil tendencies. The tariff robbery was exposed and also the fraudulent pension system. Taken as whole it was one of the best speeches delivered at this place during the present campaign.

THE address of Hon. J. w. House, chairman of the state democratic central committee, is published in the DEMOCRAT today. It calls at tention to deal between the repub- licans and populites by which it is hoped to wrest the electoral vote of Arkansas from Cleveland and di- vide it between Harrison and Weav- CT. The scheme will fail, however, as democrats are watching these conspirators and will not be caught mapping. They will turn out at the election and block that little game.

An Infamous Measure.

 can Senator Teller. 0f Colorado.

From Speech on the Force Bill by Republi-
 can Senator Teller, of Colorado.
 I have read that bill with care and attention more than twenty times. l have read it in the light of calm consideration. And l re- peat that if it were presented to me now with the alternative of PARTY SUPPORT OR PARTY DISMISSAL, l should not vote for the bill. A more infa- nous bill, in my judgement, never passed the threshold of the doors of the senate. Avowedly in the inter est of good government, it was in stigated, in my judgement, by men whose interest it was to prevent a free expression of the will of the voters at the polls.

TENNESSEE is in the midst of a stirring sensation growing out of the exposure of deal between the republicans and the president of the state alliance by which the populite was to get S15000 and the United States senatorship for running Buchanan as in independent demo- crat, thereby enabling Winstead to win the governorship and Harrison to get the presidential electors. The proof is overwhelming and the par ties to the deal have at last admit ted it. Wonder who engineered the deal in Arkansas and how much did he get for it?

A Campaign Song.

Come forth, ye toillng millions,
 And join the Democrat band, We're going to vote for freedom, And equal rights demand. You've voted with your party No matter what 1t cost;- You've voted with your party
 Till everything is lost. Now, vote the Democrat ticket, No matter If they spout; You must vote the Democrat ticket, And turn the rascals out. We'll march against monopoly; No time for us to lose. We are going to have our freedom, So Cleveland we will choose. To wear this yoke of tyranny
 Is scandal and shame. Our fathers fought for liberty, Democracy does the same. We've waited long for aid
 Promised in the Mckinley bill; Our spirits have grown weary And we have got our fill. So. the eighth of next November We're going to show our might. Through the Democratic ballot We are going to have our rights. Our weapons are our ballots, They will put the raseals out. With Cleve and Steve to lead us, For victory we'll shout. Come, all ye friends who labor, From the east unto the west, Let's hoist the flag of freedom, And do our level best So, vote for Grover Cleveland And Stevenson without alarm; Just vote the Democrat ticket Is the way to save your farm.

THE state road convention in Lit tie Rock last week adopted resolu- tions favoring an amendment to the constitution to levy an additional tax of mills on the dollar for the build ing and improvement of the public highways. The DEMOCRAT has all along maintained that if we ever have good roads we will have to pay for them. There is no other way of getting them.

Ex-GovERNoR CAMPBELL of Ohio, who is speaking in New York, has thrown a bomb in the republican camp by the reply which he makes to Commissioner Peck's Mckinley bill report, the data of which has been burned. Campbell states that the labor commissioner of Ohio has had his report completed several weeks, but is holding it back until alter the election for the reason that its publication would injure the re publican cause.s There is no evil dence that the Ohio commissioner has deemed it necessary to destroy the records upon which the report is based.

He is right on the tariff question, and he is right on a subject that appeals with special force to every Arkansan, namely, the force bill. That measure means armed bullies will terrorize at every poll and the sacred rights of suffrage be outraged to put in public place lot of free booters, carpet-baggers and treasury plunderers. For the honor and prosperity of Arkansas and the whole country the insidious monster must not only be scotched, but kill ed beyond the power of resurrec- tion. Every voter in Pope county who loves his state, his country, his home, and values the peace and prosperity of the south, should make it point to vote for Terry and the rest of the democratic ticket.

A Safe Remedy.

When person is sick they wish more
 than aught else a restoration of health They are willing to take even nauseous medicine iE order to get we'll. With many, however, first consideration is whether the medicine is perfectly safe
 Will it or will it not leave any evil ef- fects2 Now, there is one remedy known to be certainly sale. It is botanical di covery, and 1t is called Botanic Blood Balm, or B. B. B. It will not harm the most delicate constitution, nor will a discontlnuance caase craving for it's further use. It Is sure antidote for poison n the blood. The blood becomes poisoned in various ways. Constipa- tion and urinary difficulties and other causes Of eifete matter remaining in the system will cause blood impurity or blood poison MS many call it. Symp- toms of blood poison should not be neglected. B. BIB. should be taken at once, It will cure promptly and is not bad to take. nor will it leave any evil aftes-eflecls.
 J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga, writes: "Old sores covered my entire person and itched intensely day and night. for several months could not work at all. l commenced the use of Botanic Blood Balm and began to grow better the first week, and ara now sound and well, free from sores aud Itching and at work again."

A GRATIFYING sign for democracy in New York is the increased regis tration in democratic localities. In the interior of the state, in the scat tered democratic quarters, the ad- ditions to the registry list are un- precedented. In New York city and Brooklyn more than 50,000 new voters have registered. Clevelands majority in the state will not be less than 15,000.

Cotton was exported last year

Cotton was exported last year nomially worth $250, ,000,000.
 Had this been invested in such goods as the farm needs, had 1t been paid for in clothing, in household furniture, in carpets, tin pans and cans, axes, shoyels, bagging twine, ties, etc, the duty on the return car go would have been $l25, 100000.
 Had half been invested in sugar and other articles on the free list, the duty would have been $62, 800, GOO.
 At the lowest estimate the tariff reduced the value of the cotton crop one-fourth.
 The peoples party talk about more money; what the farmer needs first of all is more wealth. and the tariff robs him-make no mistake about that sentence-the tariff robs him of one-fourth of all the wealth he produces.
 The currency question is impor- tant, but it is not imperative. The first step toward currency reform is tariff reform.
 We are adding annually $54, ,O0O, GOO to our money in circulation; let us wait and watch the effect.
 In 1870 the money in circulation was $S70,312, 300; in 1880, itwas $l, OPP, 1885, ,000; in 1890, it was $l ,49S,- 072,70 or an increase of nearly 100 percent, in twenty years. In 1880 the circulation per capita was S20.96, it is in 1892 $243S.
 In England the circulation per capita is $1S.60. in America $24.3S; in France $44.
 These figures do not show that we do not need currency reform, but they do show that something beside an imitation of the currency is need ed to restore prosperity,
 But while we have been increasing the currency we have been increas- ing the taxes. We have had more currency but less wealth The Me Kinley bill was bill to increase the tariff, and today we have a worse than war tariff.
 Back of the Mckinley bill stalks the force bill. The republican plat form endorses this measure; the re publican candidate for president ap proves it; MT. Reid's journal has been it's most earnest advocate.
 There is no mistake about this The moment the republican party feels itself strong enough, Federal supervisors, under the direction ot some unscrouplous man like Daven port, will be stationed at every vot- ing precinct in the south. The de feat of the force bill is not final un til we have placed democratic pres ident in the White House.
 The third issue of importance is Federal extravaganza.
 The annual expenses of govern ment have swollen to dangerous pro portions. The pension list is a me mace to free government, for it is g huge bribery fund. In 1867 the pen sion list required $21, 100000; inter est on the public debt was $l43,7S1,- ; 591.
 In 1892 the pension list is $l50,- 100000; the interest charge is $35, 100000.
 In 1878 the ordinary expenditures of government-excluding interest and debt redemption-had fallen to to $134, 463,452.
 In 1891 these same expenditures reached the enormous sum of $317, S25.549. Here is the itemized com harrison.

A VOTE in Pope county is of as much effect in increasing Cleveland's majority in the state as in any doubtful county. No Pope county democrat should stay away from the polls through over-confidence.
