3. C. SCRUGGS.

In our announcement columns
this week will be found the card of
Judge B. g. Scruggs, in which he
outlines his reasons for asking the
endorsement of his candidacy for
judge by the Democracy Of Benton
County. Born in & Democratic at
mosphere, he has always faithfully
stood up aud fought the battles Of
his party with an energy that has
never yielded, joyous and contented
when victory was emblazoned upon
its banners, and calm in defeat, con-
fident that the right would triumph
in the end. He was blessed in not
being born in wealth, but with an
inborn, consciousness that he would
rather be right than be President,
he has placed hlsname among Uhose
who have the confidence andTespect
of their fellow men-who have a
principleandwill fight for itthough
the stars fall. Since Ire was first
endorsed for the Office of Judge OF
the county he has applied himself
diligently ard studiously in the
discharge of all duties devolving on
him, and by paying strict attention
to the smallest details of the office
he has given general satisfaction.
He understands the business of the
county, and his books are always
open to public inspection. He will
abide the will of Democracy at the
June primary, and we commend his
claims to the careful consideration
Of the party.

A. c. MoRAE.

The subject.o of this article is too
well known to our readers to need
any introduction fromius in his can
didacy for county Judge, and we
feel that nothing we could say here
would make him more popular and
elevate him more in the esteem of
our people. No man in the ranks
Of the Democracy of Benton Coun-
Uy has worked harder to uphold the
cause than Mr.. McRae, and two
years ago, when it became necessa-
ry to adopt heroic measures to COM
bat the enemies in and out of the
party, he was one among the first
to enter the field where he never
halted at obstacles which beset his
path, but stood up and fought the
battles Of his party; and with de-
termination, grit and energy, he
saw victory and the right triumph
at the polls. He has never waver-
ed when his party called him to
duty, and as a man and Democrat,
he is worthy the support of the par
ty he represents. His record as
clerk of the county is one of eff
cheney and satisfaction. He thanks
the people for SO kindly remember
ing him in the past, and he goes be-
fore them on his record for their
endorsement. Mr.. McRae is will
ing to abide the action of his party,
and we ask our readers to give his
claims their careful consideration,

UNJUST CRITICISMS.

statement made by the Jackson
Tribune and Sun during the judi
Icial convention in that city which
does Mr. Rye, Benton's candidate
for attomey-general, a grave in
justice, and which that paper so far
has not corrected.
While the press Of Jackson gen
orally contained numerous unjust
and Qnfavorable criticisms of Mr..
Rye's friends and resorted to many
abusive and uncalled for terms, the
Tribune and Sun even went so far
in pretending to quote Mr.. Rye's
speech as to make it appear that
Mr.. Rye even did notrecognize his
friends outside Of his home county,
some of whom the Tribune andSun
was pleased to term "bolters."
Now, as a matter Of fact, Mr.. Rye
included all Of his friends, and was
particular to mention his support
ers all over the district who so gal
lantly stood by him throughout the
hot contest.
The term "bolter" could not be
applied to either faction from Hen
derson County, for both were rec
ognized and took part in the work
, of the convention.
In a lengthy article on the un-
Just criticisms of the Tribune and
Sun, the Henderson County Dem
ocrat says: eve know the men
who composed the Rye faction from
Henderson County, and know them
to be true Democrats. Among the
number are many of our most sub
stantial citizens" "
All the men who composed the
Rye. delegates, including the loyal
legions from Benton, Chester, De
catur, Henderson and Perry coun-
ties, are known to be true and inhu-
ential Democrats in their respective
counties, and as guests they certain
ly deserved more courteous treat
ment than they received at the
hands of the Jackson press.
And now, in view of the fact that
the friends of Mr.. Rye cheerfully
accepted the result Of the conven-
tion and gracefully took the lead IN
final action, which resulted in har.
mony and brotherly love, it does
seem to us that the Tribune anC
Sun could have smothered its i'll.
