Hin Of New York,

Senator David Il. Hill is still the
idol of the New York democracy.
Despite the fact of personal and pc.
litical differences between party lead
crs in the state and the senator, and
despite the fact that his positive con-
victions and earncstness of purpose
have led him to stop at nothing hon.
orablc to gain his point. he is still
first in the hearts of the great party
in the Empire state. The spontane-
Gus ovation that drowned his protests
and attended his nomination for gov
ernor OF New York in the democratic
convention at Saratoga yesterday, was
one OF the most remarkable in political
annals. The senator standing in his
place as presiding officer of the con-
vcntion was powerlcss to check the
enthusiasm with which the hall rang

Senator Hill is probably most ad-
mircd for those qualities which at
times nevertheless. have made enc
mics for him in his own party-he is
fighter. He is democrat who was
cut out for leader Of men. He is
for the party first and above all. and
he will lead to victory this fall if he
consents toIui.
The nomination of Daniel Lock
wood for lieutenant governor not
only contributes an element Of
strength to the ticket, but demon
strates the fact that harmony has
been fully established in the party in
the state, Mr.. Lockwood being one of
the staunchest of Cleveland men,
being the presidents old law associ-
ate. and for years identified with his
political advancement. With the
New York democracy thus united,

Billee Mason. OF Illinois. On Friday
night he made speech at Gable.
where there had been no rain for
months. He had not spoken more
than 10 minutes before there was
prodigious thunder and lightning.
and then ali the doors and back
doors of heaven were opened. Every
farmer present took home stack of
pitchforks after the rain was over,
and the rain stopped when the speech
did. The fireworks had to be post
poned. but the conviction that Billee
Mason is great and effective orator
has notably deepened.

A REVIEW of the vote in this judicis

A REVIEW of the vote in this judicial district at the last general election re- veals an interesting and singular fact in reference to the contest for demo- cratic nominations in the district this year. Taking the vote of 1892 and giving each county one delegate in the nominating convention for every two hundred democratic votes cast-which is, we are told, the usual basis of rep resentation-at that election, and the representation in the convention will be: Lee, 8; Phillips, 6; White, g; Wood ruff. 8; St. Francis, 4; total, 35; neces- sary to choice, IS. This shows that no two counties can nominate, and as in such conventions, the counties al most invariably vote as unit, it will be seen that candidate, to be success full, must have the votes of three coun- ties As it happens St. Francis, with four votes, will be just as strong in the convention as White with nine. It is somewhat singular, but it is just that way.-Marianna Index.

But in response to. a laudable ambition and the solicitations of numerous friends throughout the county, he sometime ago announced him. self candidate for the office of Coun- ty Judge. Dr. Stone has made good record as public officer never slight ing the duties of the office, and if he should receive the nomination at the hands Of his fellow democrats for the judgeship he will have little or no trouble in being elected. and will fill the position in a manner which will prove the wisdom of the selection. In retiring from the mayoralty he car ries with him the best wishes of THE TIMES for his success in his other ann hilton

A MEMBER of the school board and of the building committee, in conver- sation with the writer, says that the committee is thinking Of building with the funds now available, unless some demonstration is made that an auxil- iary fund will be forthcoming. We hope they will do nothing of the kind. If this auxiliary fund is not forthcom- ing the school board ought to resign and refuse to serve such constituent cy. But we have too much faith in the enterprise of this people to think for moment that they will refuse to raise this fund. Whenever an organ ized, systematic and energetic effort is made the fund will be raised. Make the effort.

OUR correspondent at McDapi., states that our subscribers in ,h,, vicinity do not get their paper until if is week old. We have had so mneh complaint from the McDaniel ofses that we are almost forced to the conelp. sion that it is the negligence of ,h. postmaster at that place. This belief is strengthened by the fact that sbs package of papers for the McDanie postoffice never fails to be sent sonth on Saturday mornings, and that ve receive no complaints from any oths, office in the county. There is. how. ever. a slight doubt in our mind as to whether or not the Mcdaniel poN. master is wholly to blame, from ,hs fact that we also receive frequent com. plaints from our subscribers who q.t their mail at Haynes. This would in. dicate that the fault lies at the Forreat City postOffice or with the railway ma,l service. We are assured by Mir. W.T. son of the Forrest City office that the papers are sent south every Saturday morning without fail. So it must be that the railway mail service is rotten. At least it is the duty of the several postmasters mentioned herein to trace this fault to it's proper source. and put 1t upon the guilty parties, and thus re- lieve themselves of the suspicion of in. competency and neglect. It is impor. tant that the papers should be deiv. cred promptly, and we must insist that the service be improved.

WE would truly like to read one sir

WE would truly like to read one sin. gle, plausible argument why Gov. Fishback should not be elected to the office of United States Senator. Up to date nothing has been produced against him except the Lane letter, written thirty years ago. and the per sonal letter written to Robins about thirty days since. There is absolutely nothing m either one which in the least manner disqualifies him for the honor he seeks. The latter letter is commendable in the highest degree. and the former is out-weighed by the many great and world-celebrated let ders which he has written, gratuitously. in the interest of Arkansas, and be his unselish devotion to the peoples in- Ierests for quarter of century.

Mir. ". E. WILLIAMS, the present efficient sheriff and tax collector of St. Francis county, announces his candida- cy for reelection to that office in this issue of THE TIMES. Mir. Williams was not without a record as an officer when he entered upon his duties two years ago, having been deputy sheriff of Poinsett county in the seventies, at which time he won the esteem and plaudits of his constituency for bravery and ability in ferreting out the hiding places of criminals and bringing them to answer for their crimes before the proper tribunal. During his present incumbency he has served many WAT rants which have been handed down from his predecessors unserved, and has been very successful in capturing all classes of violators. In the capacity of collector, he has been energetic, PainstakiRg, scrupulously honest and careful of the public revenue, making his settlements promptly, fully and satisfactorily. He is, perhaps, s little eccentric, but withal has made al ex- cellent officer, and asks the democracy to indorse him. The test for this office should be bravery, knowledge and con- scientious discharge of duty, and hon. esty and ability. Measured by this high standard, W. E. Williams is wor- thy of the support he asks.

THE Helena World may be partially excused for what follows as to Clarke and Bridewell because of an overdose of ''home indorsement:" "Bridewell seeks to down Clarke on the single issue that he once voted against bill which had the opposition of three fourths of the Democracy of the State. When Bridewell gets as close to the
 people as Clarke is, he may develope in- to something more than mere figure head" But will the World please state where it gets the statistics which will give semblance of truth to the assertion that "three-fourths of the democracy of the state" opposed the appropriation for a creditable exhibit at the Worlds Fairp The democrats of Arkansas are progressive and THE TIMES is slow to believe that any con- siderable number of them ever opposed anything that would rebound to the advancement of Arkansas. and espec- ially the appropriation of paltry sum like this, where such great results were Obtainable.
