 Editor TIMEs:-In your last issue you asked for information regarding my announcement for the legislature. and in reply will say that Tam q demo crdt. have always been one, and al ways will be. I knew nothing of the announcement until read 1t in the pa perMr. Duncan had joked with me about it but never thought he was in earnest; and as for him announcing me on the Peoples ticket" I am not the man. In the first place, I don't believe he meant it that way, but think 1t was only an error in the wording of the an- nouncement.fer he nor any other man. could think for moment that 1 am, or would serve, on any thing but a straight Jeffsonian Democratic ticket.
 did not solicit the race, but as atn in the field, intend to make 1t, and as am man 'of the people and for the people" will serve my party to the ut most of my ability, should they see proper to give me the nomination.

STATE TREASURER.

Mir. H. c. Hinton, candidate for state treasurer, is in the city. He is now 54 years of age, an expert accountant, with three years experience as chief accountant in the office to which he aspires under the present incumbent, Hon, B. B. Morrow. He came from North Carolina with his fathers fami- ly thirty-fve years ago in his early boy hood. settling in the adjoining cOun- ty of Prairie, where he spent his early manhood. and received his first busi- ness training. He enlisted and went from Des Arc, that county, to the con- federate army. His father, mother, two brothers are buried in the cOun- ties of Monroe and Prairie. All his brothers and sisters live in Monroe. His own children, five in number, were all born in Prairie, now Lonoke. coun- ty. Was called to and accepted a pO- sition as clerk in the auditors office, under Hon. A. w Files, while auditor, and later to the treasury. He, unlike each of his opponents. has never asked for or held public office. His natural training, education and experience, fit him we'll for the position to which he aspireS. The only charge made against him is that he lives in Little Rock. Fellow democrats, Mir. Hinton is in every way worthy of your confidence and support, and you will make no mistake in giving him yonr endorse ment in the convention tomorrow.

For Sale--My four storehouses on the south side of the railroad. l will sell these stores on ten years time; pay ments monthly at price that will not equal the rental value of property. Why then pay rent, if you can own your own house for your business, and rent the others to help make the pay ments ? I consider this property as good as any in Forrest City, and the right party who will buy it will find a big paving investment. Times will change for the better. would not offer this big inducement, were it not that l cannot give my real estate my personal attention. therefore prefer to sell and give the purchaser the benefit.

No expression of the will of the dem


 No expression of the will of the dem- ocracy of this county as to their choice for United States Senator can be had at the county convention next week. We make this statement because some are in doubt as to whether or not this ques- tion will come up. Such action has not been authorized by the Executive Committee-has not been contempla- ted or expected by the people, and a fair expression of the sentiment of the democracy of this county could not be obtained in that convention, under the circumstances. THE TIMES is in favor of submitting the names of Gov. Fish back and Senator Berry to the democ- racy at our primary election for county officers; or what would be better still, at the general election in September. In any event tue matter should not, and cannot properly, come before the county convention next week.

THE Monroe County Sun is one of the ablest and most outsp0ken and fearless papers in the state. The fol- lowing from that paper fits our case exactly: "The Sun is against third terms in any office high or low. town ship, county, or state national. This is one Of the reasons why we do not favor Senator Berry. He is good man, but has had it long enough. The state has other men equally as deserving, much more brilliant and infinitely more com petent. Pass the honors around. No man should have cinch on any public place.''
