Such is the Charge in the Affidavit of
 c. V. HaryiIl.
A Wicked and Malicious Misrspresenfa. ton Without Shadow of Foun-
 daf}on.

O. VI. harViii, a misefaDie anu contemptible falsifier appeared be- fore Notary Public Hyatt late yes terday afternoon and under oath made the following statement which is utterly devoid of truth and with out the slightest foundation in fact :: To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that I, c. V. Harvill, did, en the 24th day of June, 1892, in the town of Russeilville, county of Pope, state of Arkansas, hear E. F. lobe ask w. w. Brashear if he could vote the Grand Army Republic or Post, and Brashear said yes, he could vote he thought every one of them, then they went to the post office and l followed them in, and heard lobe say to Brashear if he conld vote what he said he could he could get five hundred dollars and Brashear said all right he could do it.
 c. V. HARvILL.
 Subscribed and sworn to before me on this the 23d day of August 1892.
 D. $. HYATT, Notary Public.
 Commission expires Feb. %, 1896.
 A baser and more malicious lie was never told or sworn to- 1t is a falsehood made from whole cloth. On the 24th of June nor at any other time did B. F. lobe have any such conversation as is here alleged and never in his life even thought of such a thing. And how any man who pretends to any self-respect can consent to perjure himself as Har- will has done in this affidavit is past comprehension. A man must be in desperate straits, wilfully blind and insanely jealous in behalf of any cause when he will knowingly traduce and misrepresent innocent men. Yet this is exactly what Har will has done, and in doing it he has proven himself capable of stepping to the lowest depths of villiany. Such despicable wickedness is bound to recoil on the heads of all concern ed, and the accused will yet stand vindicated and rise superior to the dirty conspiritor whose shameful conduct must meet the strongest condemnation of fair minded men.
 What would be the use to buy re publican votes when it is a known fact that the democrats defeated the republican and union labor combine two years ago and can do so again this year singly or combined. The folly of such a deal is too apparent for belief. No sensible man will be- lieve democrats foolish enough to squander $500 in any such manner. And would any intelligent person suppose for a moment that political buyers and sellers would meet on the public street and in as public place as the postoffice, in hearing of outside parties as is charged in this case. It is an insult to intelligence to ask people to believe such rot. There is no reason in it, and no truth in it.
 To show still further the falsity of the statement of Harvill we append the certificate ofJ. H. Perry of this place who says that Harvill stated to him that several democrats were i'm plicated in the trade and that B. F. Jobe's name was not mentioned. MT. Perry's statement is as follows:
 In conversation with G. V. Harvill in regard to the alleged deal between democrats and republican he told me .l.l l.x .nl. fxxfn or three democrats in conversation and from the run of their conversation he, Brashears, was to get $500 for putting ont republican county ticket, and that E. r. Jobe's name was not mentioned.
 JAS. H. PERRY.
 And as a further disproval of Harvill's statement read the certi- ficate J. M. Harkey and B. F. lobe relating to what P. J. Harvill told them that P. G. Harvill told him in regard to the matter. Here is the certificate:
 On Saturday August 20, 1892, Phillip J. Harvill in conversation with the un- dersigned stated to us that he talked with c. V. Harvill about the reported trade | that G. V. Harvill told him that W. w. Brashears, B. F. lobe, and R. B. Wilson were positively implicated and he thought J, M. Harkey was mentioned too, J. M. HARkEY, E, F. LOBE.
 And as still further proof of the falsity of said charge read the fol lowing certificate containing the sig natures and approval of prominent democrats of this county. It ought to be and will be conclusive evi- denee that there can be no truth in the affidavit of Harvill. The certif- icate is as follows.
 We, citizens of Russellville and vicin- ity having read the affidavit of C. V. Harvill we state as democrats that B. F. lobe has nothing to do with managing the campaign for the party in this coun- ty, Capt. J. w. Russell was elected by l the democratic county convention as the chairman of the democratic county cen tral committee in this county, and that | the statement made in the affidavit of said Harvill does not comport with the character of B. F. lobe and we do not believe one word, syllable or sentence in said affidavit.
