What Gan It Be?

Private advices from Little Rock say that certain state official is ab- sent from his post of duty fixing pri- maries and conventions against Fish, back
 It is alleged that the whole state is being flooded with letters to politicians to beat Fishback. Why is this fg1ft being made in such a way and with such expensive zeal? Somebody must foot the bills, who does it, and for what purpose?
 Sentiment will not account for all this activity. There must be some- thing behind it that the public knows nothing about. Numbers of letters are received here from Little Rock, telling of the schemes of the bosses. Many of them don't sign any name, giving as their reason that they dare not. Others who sign their names say. don't let my name be known, my bread and butter is at stake." What does all this mean? Why this lntimidationp From what influence can it come2 We wish our friends in Little Rock who have manhood left would probe it to the bottom and furnish the Times with the facts Ft. Smith Times.

Fishback was appointed to write "Why the Solid South" for Arkansas. The leading man in every state that seceeded was appointed to the same work for his state. This document was used for campaign purposes ia tho North and East during the congress sional campaign of ls9O-the year our present congress was elected. If Fishback was such a bad man as a few want to paint him, why was he ap- pointed to this workp Why was he made presidential elector in lSS4Y Why was he sent to meet Norwo0d in lsss2 Why was he put in front in the Fizer campaign in 1890g Why was he sent to meet Langley, and Featherston and Clayton during the last congress sionai campaigng If Fishback is d bad man. why did the people of Crawford county in primary election last Satur- day, give him 22O0 out of 2300 votesy And why is such an overwhelming ma- jority of the democrats of Arkansas for him for governor.--M County Sum.
The Forrest City times., 1892-04-15

DEMOCRATS, the ring politicianers of Little Rock have defeated Fishback every time he has offered himself for an office. Heretofore they have done so by throwing their support to other popular men, and hence have not been compelled to show their hands. At this stage of the game, the people are tired of waiting for Fishback' s time to come. They believe it is here. They want Fishback now, and they can't wait any longer. The ploiticianers, seeing this state of affairs, are forced to find fighting ground or show theiI hands. They can produce nothing against this man except that thirty years ago, during the excitement of war, he was in some way little incon. sistent. There are very few men in Arkansas whose records would stand this test for five years. These politi' eianefs are or their last legs. Beat them now, and the party will assume its proper rank-the party of the people.

The Forrest City Times.

A souvenir edition of Is pages, he product of the editors of TIE FORREST CITY TIMES, was received at our office this week. It is handsome paper with a history of Forrest City, beginning with it's inception and following its growth up to the present time. 1t also con tains the pictures of Forrest City s most prominent men with biographi- cal sketch accompanying each, and, by the way, we would ask are there nc prominent women in that section of fthe countryp Not one is mentioned. We have so many in our city that it seems strange a city with somuch wealth and so many men cannot boast of a single prominent woman. We would suggest to our worthy contemporary if they have any prominent women in Forrest City to get out another souvenir edition for them especially. However this over- sight in our friends does not take away our admiration for their handsome paper, which in mechanism and other wise surpasses any souvenir edition ever produced in our state. It reflects honor and credit upon both Messrs. Landvoigt and Vadakin. the talented and gifted editors, and we wish for them continued success and prosperity in their worthy enterprise and calling.

CONGRESS has been appealed to for aid for the unfortunate flood sufferers along the Tombigbee river in Missis. sippi, and they should receive it. There has been an appalling loss of life and property with which local charity could not adequately cope. and the suffering must necessarily be very great under any circustances, and it has been greatly augmented by the cold snap which accompanied the flood. We hope there will be not moments delay on the part of congress in furn- ishing the aid SO badly needed.

The Memphis Commercial and Ap- peal-Avalanche have been for months pouring hot shot into Hill. So bitter are these papers against so true demo- crat as is Senator Hill that they said and are still saying worse things about him than any democratic paper has ever said against Harrison. In fact. the two Memphis journals have ceased to war upon the republicans, they are vieing with each Othing as to which can say most cruel things of Senator Hill. Strange democracy, is this.- Pine Bluff Commercial.
 And strange consistency, that, whici enables the editor of the Commercial to condemn contemporary for tht very thing he is doing every day him self. Is it worse for the Memphis pa pers to oppose Hill than for Bro. New man to oppose Fishback, one of tbt purest and best democrats in America

Why the Pine Bluff Commercial Op-
 poses Breckinridge.


 The opposition of the Commercial to Congressman Breckinridge is now, and has been for ten years past, of a purely personal and mercenary nature, grow ing out of his failure to levy tribute of $250 upon that gentleman for editorial services" during his first campaign for congress. There may be other reasons unknown to the public, but this is the prime one, and is q matter of record. After Major Breckinridge was elected to congress from the state-at-large in 1882 he was sued by the editor of the Commercial for S250 for editorial ser vices" notwithstanding he had pub lished to the world. and was compelled to read upon the witness stand, an edi- torial statement that he was advoca- ting Major Breckinridge for congress without money and without price" The result of that suit--the first of it's kind, we believe. on record--is well known here, though our Warren friends may not remember the facts. Major BreckiDridge had acknowledged himself indebted to the editor of the Commercial to perhaps, the extent of $50 and deposited that amount of money in court to pay for his announce ment and the publication of his letter of acceptance, after it had been ten- dered to the "without money and with out price" editor of the Commercial and indignantly rejected. The jury awarded him $37 .50-or 25 per cent less than Major Breckinridge had rendered but nothing for editorial services" Siuce that verdict was rendered re- buking the cupidity of newspaper publisher who unblushingly swore upon the witneess stand that he had fre- quently made large fees for advertise ing men for office in the columns of his paper, the editor of the Commercial has never neglected an opportunity tO malign or misrepresent Hon. c. R. Breckinridge. On one or more oc- casions it has given him halJ-hearted support after his nomination, but even then its practice has been to damn him with faint praise" or by extrava- gant encomiums attempt to place him in a ridiculous attitude before the people.

The Danger In Three Tickets.

The indications are now that there may be three state tickets in the field at the approaching election. At first though, this may seem to assure demo- crats success; but 1t is not so by any means. Iu straight fight the republf- cans of Arkansas can poll 75,O00 votes; and if the third party ticket should draw off any considerable number of democrats, the republicans would have better chance to win than they ever had. To divide and conquer may be the plan adopted by the republican leaders this year, and we warn demo- crats against that feeling of over con fidence, which has lost so many elec- tions in the past. Let us keep up the local organizations and poll every vote and we shall be assured of victory Batesville Guard.

 Several Fishback papers are indulg- ing in such slop as the above, thinking we suppose, it will pass for wit, when in reality it is the silliest kind of puer- ilty and calculated to disgust people who possess the smallest particle of sense. MT. Fishback himself would never condescend to such stuff. He is a dignified gentleman, just as Mfr. Files is. Let US conduct the campaign, then, in dignified manner. An edi- tor must be hard up, indeed. for some thing to say for or against candidate when he is obliged to resort to such confounded tomfoolery as the above.

When Clayton was dissolying into tears while recording the crime of the Texarkana mob in burning a rayisher his mind DO doubt reverted to the good old reconstruction days, when the Clayton militia, led by his ever loyal and obedient lieutenants, tied white women and men by the feet, and burned them until suffering forced rev elation of the whereabouts of their money and other valubles. The victim of the Texarkana mob had committed the most atrocious crime in the calen- dar. Those white men and women were suspected of possessing money wanted by Clayton's armed rufiians, who robbed and murdered in the name of the Rupublican party.-Little Rock Gazette.

 The editor of the Times yesterday called Col.

He replied, in substance: Certainly l am. 1 think it due to the people. But there are two and half months before the convention and don't know yet who are going to be candidates. Brothers House, Hughes, Mitchell, Morgan and half dozen others are talked about, but 1 don't know which will make the race. AS soon as it is definitely ascertained, Brother Files and I, will, I suppose, invite conference with them and we will decide whether we will "traipse" or will meet in Little Rock and make one speech covering the whole ground and have it published so that our views may be known"
