Now it is rumored that the Re publieans will put out county ticket. We'll. let them eome2 The days of Republieanism are absolutely done in this county for all time to come, and they should know it. It is doubtless not with the hope of success in this county, but for the sake of party organization with a view to Federal spells should the Republicans be successful in the National election that the present movement is on foot.

THE TICKET.

The Democratic County primaries are now over and today the GRAPHIC hoists the Democratic ticket at it's masthead. While there are dis appointments in some instances over the result of the primary cleo tion, We opine that the result will be satisfactory and acceptable to all, and that the ticket nominated will have the united and earnest support of every Democrat in the county. The ticket nominated is a strong one; in fact there was not a man in the race who was not com petent to fill the office to which he aspired The Democrats of the county have decreed that the present Democratic incumbents should be reelected for another term, and no one can deny the fact that they have made capable, com petent and efficient public servants This statement does not imply, however, that any of their opponents in the late primaries would not have made as efficient public ser wants if given an opportunity, but the GRApHlc simply assests fact when it states that since the inau- guration of the straight Democratic ticket two years ago, Jefferson County has had the best, the most efficient and most economical government in its history since the war And if the Democrats will stand together in years to come as they should and we believe they will do, the present reign of good government will con tinue indefinitely

LITE ROCK, April 2S, 1S9G
 The week ending Monday, April 2, was much warmer than usual, the daily mean temperature averag- ing about 9 degrees per day above the normal

.MELINE.
Throws Himself Into the Breach
 in France.

LONDON, April 30,-The Paris cor respondent of The Time says; No body can question M Meline's high ability and sense of duty. He has certainly made great sacrifice after declining office for eleven years, in leaving an influential position re- moved from party strife and throw ing himself into the breach in a seri- ous crisis. What really angers the Radicals is that so universally re- spected a man should have accepted the post of duty and danger. They vent their rage on the President for summOning him.'
 It is impossible to predict the issue of tomorow's Radical attack upon the Ministry.
