In last weeks issue Of Tm CHRONICLE

the Democracy Of Benton County, TO be
held In Camden Saturday, August Goth.
We take it for granted that in the above
named meeting the principal object will
be to instruct for some honorable DEM
ocrat 10 represent this district in the next
general assembly as senator. In pre-
senting a name for this honorable posi-
ton, we the Democrats OF this end Of the
county take pleasure in presenting the
name Of Arch Clement, esq, Of Camden.
In so doing we feel we are voicing the
sentiment of old Benton's Democracy.
Mr.. Clement, like many of our great
men, began life at the bottom of the lad
der, aud by his upright, impartial deal
ings with his fellow men has won the es-
TEEN, not only Of his entire party, but
also that Of his Republican brethren,
In scanning the field over for an able
leader, we feel safe in saying that Dem
ocracy's banner could be placed in no
safer hands than those Of Arch Clement,
of Camden. DEMOCRAT.
