THE "GOvERNORS" Addressed a Large Au- dienee at the Opera
 House Last
 Night. HARROD AND SEWER IN PLEAD. ING FOR DEMOGR ATTIC HARMONY, LOUDLY
 APPLAUDED.
Dan Jones, the Would-Be Bolter
 Receives Cold Comfort.
A Synopsis of the Speeches.

There was a fair-sized audience and well filled house at the Opera house last night to hear the joint debate of the Democratic candida tes for Governor of the State of Ark ansas.
 Mir. w. B. Alexander, Chairman of the Democratic County Central Com mittee, presided. The speaking be- gun promptly at s o'clock, each speaker consuming one hour.
 The audience sat patiently throughout the three hours of Che debate and gave each speaker respect ful attention. The remarks of Mr. Harrod and Maj. Sevier received the greatest applause, and the noble sentiments expressed by the latter in his plea for Democratic harmony was received with the greatest en- thusiasm. In fat, from the demon strations of the audience last night Maj. Sevier was the favorite, and if he stood the ghost of show for the Democratic nominations, he would no doubt receive the instruc tions of Jefferson County.
 Col. Dan Jones, the would-be- bol- ter, excited but very little applause and no enthusiasm. His speech con- sisted of abuse of the Democratic rft l,,f His bolting declaration was received with applause by about a half dozen Populists, but in general excited the disgust of all loyal Democrats who believe In party organization and unity.
 The Hon.J. H. Harrod was the first to be introduced. He begun by saying that he was a native of Ark ansas, g years old, bourbon Demo erat and candidate for Governor. He had voted the Democratic ticket since he was 2l ye.lrs old and ex, pected to do so if he lived to be l2I years old. When the Democrats | tlDIi1idtt tdnuludifS liliS Atuf ut expected to vote the ticket from Constable to President. "In this campaign" he declared, T rely np- on the loyalty of Democrats who neyer expect 10 bolt the party. 1 am not seeking the support of milk and water ana weak-kneed Demo crats. 1 have not bean applauded throughout my campaign by Popu- lists. When Dan Jones first made his fam ons bolting deliverance in the State House, Tom Fletcher Chairman of the State Populist party, liked to have wore out th( carpet with applause and every where the Colonel spoke the Popnlisl did the same way. In this cam paign Col. Jones is being applandec by Populist. not by Democrats.

 In the city papers of the 4lh inst, Mr. C II. Triplett inserts an article in reply to a former statement pub lished by me, aud desire to submit the following in reply thereto:
 A STATEMENT.
 To Whom it May Concern:
 Mr. Edgar Brewster and myself prepared a statement from tine County Court records, in which an error was made When we had fin ished fl, Mir Brewster laid the state ment on my desk and said, Now check this and be sure there is no er- TOT, for 1 do not want it unless it is correct" l checked il oeer, and found no error. The next morning Mir. Triplett wanted IL copy of the same statement l had given Brew ster l had no copy, and saw Brew ster and told him that Triplett want ed d copy of the statement. and he fCrDished it 10 me for Friplett on Monday morning, March 30th. l saw Mr. Brewster on his way out Of town Wednesday, at 1.30 D. m. and told him thatzan error had been dis covered. He came to the Clerk s of= flee Saturday morning, about 9:30 q. m. and we talked the matter over.
 (Signed. l.. T. SALLEE.
 I refer to the above as complete answer to Sheriff Triplett's charge as 10 cooked figures, charge was intended to prejudice me in the minds of the people. The public knows Mir. L. r. Sallee too well to believe that he would Intentionally certify falsely So much for the cooked" figures.
 Bnt Mr. Triplett says that labor ed in my former article to show the administration of Dr. Thompson Repnblican-more efficient in the collection of the revenue of She Col lectnr,s office than his own, and that from this fact 1 deduced the remark able conclusion that should be nom mated for Sheriff oyer himself. This is not true. But if he will allow ef- ficieney to be the test, l am entirely willing that an informed and intel Igent public shall judge the two ad- manifestations. l may have made oversights, but let the comparison he nlaae. I had ho thought of party politics in my former statement, but Sheriff Trlplctt, ny nice phraseology in lis reply, cunningly alludes to Dr. Thompson as his REPUBLICAN pred eeessor. whose administration l would make more efficient than that of himself, Democrat, and thus, ny inference, invites attention to the fact that l was deputy under ke- publican, and now since he lhIects the political feature, l am also quite willing to comparison of rec ards in that respect. True, Or. Thompson is Republi- can, and true also is he white man and q gentleman. and the Democrat ic party of this county demanded, and in manner forced, his n0mina- ton to relieve the people from the bossism of a Republican ofliee-hold- ing o!igrachy, composed of Silver man, Hayis, Spellman, Battles and others. And it is true that by the advice of many good Democrats, accepted the Chief Deputyship under him. and I am glad that l did SO But how is it with my opponent the FINANCIAL. SheriF-NIr. Fripletti
 Is he equally proud of the fact that when, as Democracy lay pros trate and crushed under the irof heel of the Republican mis-rnle ant spoilation, he accepted deputyshiI under the NEGRO REPUBLICAN TREAS URER, l. C. Battles, and by causing

 And I further ask if Demo- cratic usage recognizes this as the faithful officer entitled 10 the second term? And further ask if this wholesale purchase of county warrants does not result in "eorner' on scrip, and force the taxpayers of this county to pay practically dollar for dollar for their scrip?

 The allowances for the first guar ter, 1896, do not include the Sher~ ifs, Circuit Court nor jail account, and several other accounts, which, when allowed, will increase this in debtelness to the sum of about $G2 .O0O or $63, ,0OO

 This shows that if Mir. rriplett has the same success that he did last year, there will still be SIS, ,000 still outstanding, not allowing anything for expenses for the next two quar- ters of this year, when the last quar- ter shows that $l7, 296.6S has been allowed; this sum not including Sheriff's account for the first quarter against the county.
 In the matter of returns on person. al delinquent taxes, the office natu- rally accepts the reports brought in by the collectors sent out-who gather their information as best they can-and in some instances of this kind, some man may have been re- ported dead who really was not. Does not Sheriff Triplett accept such reports? 1 was. governed by them.
 Finally, in answer to MT. Trip let's question, l will say, that if elected, I will enforce ALL LAWS faithfully and impartially, without respect to person-to the kesr of my ability. And upon the following platform base my candidacy and solicit your support:
 I.-No nepotism in office.
 I.-Etficient and polite deputies.
 III.-No negroes buying scrip for me, and no aid or eountenance to any scrip ring.
 IV.-More revenues to the county, as before, and less trouble to the community.
 VI will be sheriff ONLY, and not dictate to the other county officials.
 VII will devote my entire time to the office, and will give the people any information in my power, upon any county matter.
 VIII will not exercise my power to defeat any bills in the next Gen eral Assembly for the good of the community, nor will l endeavor to get bills passed for my own personal interest.
 WILL will use my best efforts as a citizen to advance the interes ts of free silver. Respectfully,
 EDGAR BREWSTER,
 Democratic Candidate for Sheriff.

did not silence him he would. Justice
Caldwell raped with all his might for or

Morris sat down once more.
The little unpleasantness is a continual
ton of the trouble between Mr.. winstock
and the prosecuting attorneys office over

ed that Collins was released from Jail by
order Of Judge Humes a few days ago on
a motion made by Winstock to the effect
that Prosecuting Attorney HASTE had not

discharged. Morris then made some re-
mark about W.nstock having taken snap
