Out on Yell street there is hole that will make any living man yell until his thoat is sore.
 There is no excuse for the existence of such places in Pine Bluff The very idea of the city allowing or per hitting such traps. It will take one man sixty minutes to fill up that gcyser on that street.
 Many men have laid themselves liable to arrest for the use of inlpro- per language on account of the con dition of that street, Itis a highway that is travelled more than any one other leading into the city and ii should be attended to at once. In a few more days that street will be 1 travelled by persons who own cot tages at Sulphur Springs and if the county does not see fit to take care of its own proper y we believe that the improvements will be made by l private subscriptions.

OSCAR M. SPEILMAN
FAVoRs A STRAIGHT TICKET
The Late Leader of the Straight Re publicans Fasors a Straight County
 Ticket.

The reporter for the GRAPHIC met Mir. Oscar NJ. Spellman this morning on Main street, and had very pleasant conversation with him. The object that the reporter had in view was not only to have q friendly talk with Mr. Spellman, but also to obtain, if possible. his opinion upon the present political situation. The conversation touched upon the sit nation as it now exists. and We are glad to note that he has sized up the case, as il really exists, and here are his words as the result of the inter- view. Mir. Spellman, wish to ask you q question that l believe youcan answer. We are having hard russell at present in this county over the subject of q straight Democratic ticket OF compromise. Are you willing to announce your position upon the proposition?" said the re- porter.
 Yes sir, 1 am. I am not afraid for any man to know just where I stand" he replied.
 Well, MT. Spellman, you know as well as l do that where a man puts himself down in printers ink, ill other words, in black and white, he has made a record.
 Yes, 1 know that, and I wish it distinctly understo cd that am in favor of straight goods all the way through" /"
 Now, MT. Spellman, what do you think about the reports that are in existence as to the dcmoralization of labor, provided we undertake to in augurate a straight, all around, square, Democratic ticket?n
 A very little more than under ex- isting copditions. can answer that 1 question by saying that labor is bet ter organized today in Jefferson county than it has been since the late cival war, and all of this talk of negro dissatisfaction is nonsense, and the tale Will be told at our next reg ular election.
 Then l understand, MT. Spellmal, that you favor a straight ticket. In other words you favor what is best for the people at large
 "I favor straight ticket for reasons above stated and because the Republican State and Congress ional tickets in the past, with but two exceptions, have lost largely by the Jefferson county compromise. believe the Republicans of this county are decidedly in favor of a straight ticket in preference toacom promise which gives one party the right to dictate candidates for the other. Ne are already on q straight ticket basis.

CAPT. TH0MPS0N's VICTORY.
Congressman Breckinridge Secures the
 Fat Plum for Him.

Special to Memphis Commercial.
 WASHINGTON, April 15.-The nom- ination of Capt, James N.Thompson, of Pine Bluff. Ark, to be Supervising Inspector of steamboats for the Sixth district, was a genuine surprise for the ..Tennesseeans in Congress, who had endorsed Hon. Dabney Scales, and who confidently expected his ap- Friday from Secretary Carlisle's office that he had sent his recommends tiop of Dabney Scales, together with all the papers, to the President the day before The Commercial cores pOndent was shown the Secretary. E memorandum of the event by his private secretary, Nr. Van Sender on the day above named. Capt Thompson owes his appointment to thesentire Arkansas delegation, and particularly to Congressman C. R Breckinridge, who urged him most vigorously before the Secretary, and this week before the President. Ii was argued that this honor haG never been bestowed upon an Arkan san while Memphians had previously filled the office, and that while
 Thomp, on was thorough steam boatnan, his nearest competitor
 was more of a theoretical than [ practical one. Mr Breckinridgc be
 ing one of the Southern administra
 ton men who has thus far received few presidential fayors, by persist ency and the cooperation of hii colleagues has made Capt. ThomB son victorious when defeat was ap lparent-a winner over such men ai i Harris. Bate, Patterson, and ever 1 Secretary Carlisle himself.
