THE NEGRO VOTE,

Then from the fact the opposition vote in the twelve black counties named was not so great as it was two years ago, they say, F'the Democrats perpetrated the most fla grant wrongs.
 Among these counties they mention Pulaski county, which is the home of both the chairman and the secretary of the Peo- ple's Party. Now they know, if they know any thing, that at least thirty or perhaps forty per cent. of the negro voters in Pulaski county did not vote, or offer to vote, and this was the case in many other black counties. This explains why the Republican vote was not SO strong in these counties. The ne- gro could have voted if he had wanted to. But the fact is he was not fully advised as to how the bosses, Clayton, Cooper and others, wanted him to vote, and besides this, the new election law in the secrecy of the ballot, prevents the ward politician from marching the negro up in squads of from five to twenty and voting them as he pleases.
 Tn the white counties where the Demo crats did not vote their full strength, it was due in measure to the apathy Of some of the Democrats With three tickets in the field there was no sort of 6 doubt about the Democratic ticket being elected by an overwhelming majority, hence, except in counties where the local contest was doubt ful, the Democrats did not poll their full vote.
 If there were such glaring frauds perpe- trated as they would have the people be- lieve, why have they not contested the election in the various countiesg We have snly heard of contests in come two or three counties Are they afraid of the courtsf Do they believe our circuit judges are dis honest and incompetentY Have tLey no confidence in the supreme courtf They can say this without bringing upon them selves the ridieule and contempt of every honest man. The purity, the integrity and the intelligence of the courts of Ar kansas will compare favorably with the courts of any of the older states
 The Peoples Party voted it's full strength and every vote p0lled was counted showing they got l,lt7 votes out of total of l54 SIP, and yet they are mad. very mad, because the election officers did not make the returns SO as to show their candidate elected. They practically coneede that the election in the white | counties was fair Their chief complaint is as to the twenty five negro counties. Everybody knows the Peoples Party had no following in those counties, and what ever falling of there was in the opposition | to the Democracy only affected the Repub- licau party. But possibly all this vaunt- ing about fraud from political standpoint
 might be condoied in view of the fact I that during the recent canvass the leaders of the Peoples Party tried to induce theil I follower. to believe that they were going
 to carry the state, and in view of the i'm ported orators from Texas, Mississippi | Kentucky and other states, here at the ex
 pense of their supporters, and in view oi the fact that the national canvass is now

Relief Boats Unable to Find the Missing
Street Cleaning Scows.

NEw YORK, Jan. 27.-Ten of the
eighteen missing employees of the street
cleaning Departmental have. it .s thought.
been drowned. The remaining eight
have not been seen for nearly thirty
hours. Ii is said that they, too. unless
they have been picked up must also
have been drowned or frozen to death.
The tug-boat Webster and dumping
scows Nos. 3. 5, 10, and II OF the Barney
Dumping company were swept out at
sea during the terrible gale Of vester-
day. On these bosts were eighteen
men. employed in towing and working
the seows in which the street cleaning
department carries the city refuse To
the sea for dumping. Ten of the men
were on the tug boat and two
were on each of the four
scows. Since s O'Clock yesterday
morning these boats with their
fore the nigh northwest wind, winch
was blowing all day yesterday at the
rate or over sixty miles an hour. The
Official weather report this morning
was that the wind was blowing at from
sixty To one hundred miles an hour AT
the Hook. Several steamboats, and tugs
have been sent TO search Tor the Web
ster and the four scows. So far none OF
them had been able to catch sight of
them. The relief boats have been sew
erai times forced by stress Of weather
to put back to this city. 1t is said that
the chances of escape for the Storm
driven men are one IN thousand.
1t IS thought here that the tug and
scows have undoubtedly been lost.
Such wind blew last night that no
ship could withstand 1t, let alone a tug
boat and two helpless scows.
