&C TO Weeds.
Last Sundays Gazette, containing
Gen. .. r Reynolds latest letter
and accompanying documents, was
eagerly sought for here and created
unusual excitement in political cir
Giles. Ii has been the sole subject Of
comment since, and many times over
the question has been asked What
effect will it have on Col. Fishback' s
candidacy" Answers to the ques-
tion were given with an alacrity and
emphasis that indicate very conclu-
sively the deep interest the people
generally feel in the cause of the
Great Commoner," as he is called
in this section.
Below we give few of the express
sions heard indicative Of prevailing
sentiment. Columns might be fill
ed with like expressions, but these
will suffice:
Hon. Il. l.. McCracken, ex-representa-
tive: II will not retard Fishback's cam
didacy in any particular, and ought TO
be treated with silent contempt.
q. r. Howard. county clerk: | think
II will have no effect on Fishback what
ever.
J. +. Bullock, circuit clerk: The serv-
ices Of Col Fishback in the past have en-
deared him TO the people OF Arkansas.
The Reynolds letter is too trashy to talk
about.
w. j. Reynolds, cashier of the Peoples
A. To lsnu ri u
thirty years since the war and let by
cones be bygones. am for FlshDack
first, last and always.
James Potts, ex-county clerk: | am
for no one who Is seeking political as
tendency by stirring war memories to
climb in upon, therefore l am against
Reynolds and for Flshback in preference
TO any one.
Jumes w. Russell, ex-mayor: LET
the dead past bury its dead" and when
the counties are polled for governor old
Pope will carry the banner for Fish
backs greatest majority.
John X. Young, ex-sheriff: ID. IL.
Reynolds ought 10 clear his own skirts
from 1868 10 1874 in regard to certain
bonds.
q. w. Bergman, county Judge: The
Gazette did little piece Of business In
publishing such letter at this
time. Reynolds ought to be laid on the
shelf politically forever by the democrat
cy for his part in the matter. The whole
thing ought TO be treated with contempt
by every patriotic citizen and especially
by the democrats of Pope county.
X. ). Hamilton, deputy-sherif: 1t Is
a shame that such things should be pub
lished and sent broadcast over the state.
w. J. johnson, sheriff: am unalter-
ably opposed to such tactics in politics.
The publication Of that letter will re-
dound 10 the benefit Of Fishbaek and to
the detriment Of Reynolds.
J. w. Tucker: Fishback is my choice
for governor. Elect him governor and
thus give Reynolds black eye and send,
him TO the rear politically.
DIR. X. NJ. Drummonds: Fishback has
done more for the people of Arkansas
than any man in the State and VIII be
the hardest man In 1t to beat for govern
or.
j.. +. Munday, mayor of Russellville
Fishback, Fishback, Fishback! A quar-
ter Of a century's devotion to principle,
characterisedjby the most efficient work
puts him in the foremost ranks OF true
aud tried democrats.
John w. Quinn: The keynoius iet-
tiers are an outrage perpetrated upon
loyal citizen and should be condemned
BY every true democrat. A few more
such letters would give Fishback the
nomination by reclamation. Down with
such demegogues as Reynolds.
j. NJ. Harkey, state senator: 1t Will
strengthen Col. Fishback. | am tired
u having a mans war record Haunted
in the face OF the public whenever he
offers for office. IL has been ~ years
since the war and IL a man has proven
himself good democrat as has Col.
Fishback he ought to be counted SOUND
enough for any office all things else De-
ing equal.
]. q. Wallace, circuit Judge: IL won't
hurt Fishbaek.
w. p. wooten: Ii will help him.
