that DIR. Giddings, the superintendent OF
the State insane asylum, has sent his
resignation to the trustees and that It
has been accepted. The recent legisla'

selves wholly TO the national is
sues of the day and principally to
the money question. Col. Whip
pie opened with an hours argu.
mcnt in favor of the gold stand
ard and the Republican party, and
endeavored to saddle the blame
of the hard times on the Wilson
Tariff bill, and other Democratic
legislation, and promised almost
everything in the name of the Re-
publican party. Hon. Terry's
tlme-an hour and half-was
wholly taken up in refating the
many erroneous and misleading as
sertions presented by Mr.. Whip
pie, but he managed to prove to
all present, by q long list of au-
thorities and statistics, that the
single gold standard was directly
responsible for the oppression un-
der which the masses of the peo-
pie of the nation are now laboring.
The half hour rejoinder by Col.
Whipple was devoted to recrimi-
nations and sarcasm, which was
really tiresome. Altogether the
discussion was q dismal failure, so
far as advancing any new ideas on
the financial question is concerned,
though there may have been an
threading element in the audience
TO whom the chestnut" were
fresh and sweet. The masses IN
this section have studied the stu
alton, and the needs of the times
are so .paIpable to thems that they
are almost unit in demanding
the free, independent and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, so that the
whole volume of money may be
increased, thus cheapening it, and
putting q dollar within reasona-
BILE distance of an ordinarily en-.
dowcd citizen. See?

In another column may be found
q synopsis of q letter from col
ored man, named Gilbert Dean, in
Liberia. Gilbert was among tho
few who had q little money when
he left for Africa. His piteous tale
of woe is hard, but what must be
the condition of those poor people
who reached that land of Canaan
without cent. Gilbert wants to
come back TO talk to the colored
folks, warning them about this
land Of milk and honey. 1t would
be like casting pearls before swine.
Again. and again were the negroes
warned about this Africa swindle,
and the advice of those to whom
they always appeal when in dis
tress went by UNDECIDED. The me-
groes have taken every opportuni-
ty to array themselves against
their friends, as is demonstrated
by their fusion with faction
whose only aim is office, and after
that is acquired the negro is nit.
If the negro thinks he can do with
out the friendship of the white
man. now is the proper time to say
to them "you made your bed, lie
upon IT."

Chief among the inconsistencies
of the world are the RESOLUTIONS
of respect and coincidence" offered
the bereaved relatives of de-
ceased persons by lodges, churches,
etc. A visit t. the Getty Of the
dead" will demonstrate this fact to
a certainty. With reverence we
entered the gate, and our eyes en-
counteGed the grave Of him who
but q short year ago was "resolu-
ted" and his berea we'd relatives
were lnconsolable. Today his grave
is rs sunken and nncared for, as
the strangers in the corner, who
was laid away unwept.nnmourned .
Mothers darling's" little mound
is fattened blythe rain and cattle
before tho 1emblems of love have
faded, and. the. stone that marked
the spot where laid the "blossom
that budde9Son earth to bloom in
Heaven" has wandered away from
the spot that was once sacred TO q
devoted parent. A few tears shed
around a. grave, sweet memorial
of the dead by the lodge, few
words of comfort from the editor
of the paper, then forgetfulness
Many of the beautiful mo numents
stand (and lay) not as memorials
of loving relatives and friends,
but s as q mockery. Far better
woold it be 10 level the resting
place of the dead, and let the spot
be forgotten at the beginning.
With reverence VIC entered the
gate-with different feelings we
left what should be a sacred and
tenderly kept place.

The fact that our election laws
take it out of the power of the Re-
publican bosses to control the ne,
gro vote, and gives the negro an
independence which the bosses had
never contemplated, makes the
laws a special object of;heir antag-
onlsm. There is no doubt that the
present laws give the negro free
ballot, a privilege he has never en-
Joyed since his emancipation, until
the secret ballot was instituted
and one which, if he has any sense,
be WILDE slow to abrogate. The
Republican bosses-CIayton and
Cooper-have issued their edict
that "everythins shall be sacrificed
to gain the assemblyman." This
means that should they be success.
full in securing majority in the
legislature, they will Immediately
amend or entirely repeal the cleo.
ton lawssin the interest of the said
bosses. 1t is we'll for the negro
that thereis no possibility of such
success, but we mention these
things that he may think the mat.
ter out for himself, and 60 to the
polls in this county and vote fol

There are several truths ex.
pressed In the following short par
agraph from the Arkansas Demo
crat, which deserves more than q
passing notice. Read and think :
"The public school system of the
state would be much benefited by
the substitution of county super
intendents for county examiners.
We need an active supervision OF
all public schools. Most of the
states have long since adopted
county supervision and Arkansas
is behind In this regard"
The Forrest City times., 1896-08-28

We have 1t from good auth GRITTY
that one Of the white Republican
candidates on the fusion ticket has
admitted that the black end of tn c
ticket is too heavy q tail for the
b'ast, and is dubious about their
election. This simply means, as
VIC have said before, that the black
man is being used as cats paw,
and will surely be left out of the
roll call when certificates of cleo.
ton are being given out.
The Forrest City times., 1896-08-28

In our review of the two-tailed
ticket last week we failed to men
ton the candidate for clerk. John
NJ. Brown. Johnny has always cut
such small figure IN politics that
he was lost in the shuttle, Just as he
will be lost at the election. He is
not losing any sleep nor money in
this struggle, but being "once may
or Of the city," his ambition made
him an easy and willing sacrifice.
He has an extensive stock of hard
ware which he is much more fitted,
by training and experience, to han
die than he is to keep the records
of a great county, and we have no
doubt the people prefer him to re-
main in business and out of office.
The Forrest City times., 1896-08-28


The white folks of the fusion
ticket are not going 10 vote for the
black folks, hence every vote cas-,
by white man for w. P. Mason,
tor the Legislature, is that many
votes taken from DR.. Matthews,
and cast in tile interest Of the col
Ored candidate. Mason has no
chance, whatever, to win IN this
race, and his candidacy seems to
us 20 be solely in the interest ofthe
republican party, whose bosses,
Clayton and Cooper, have sent
word into the county "to sacrifice
everything for the asscmblyman.'

THE RIGHT POSITION.

In his address at Albany yester.
day Mr.. Bryan said
'In this time of free government
people express themselves through
party organizations. 1t is the on
ly way in which we can give effec.
tive force to our convictions
Without party we fight with no
hope of success. Parties meet in
their,t conventions, adopt their
platform and go forth to the peo-
pie appealing for the .sufFrages of
those who believe that through
that party and by the policies ex-
pressed in the platform they can
best serve their country and pro-
tect their rights. The Democratic
party at Chicago met in conven-
ton and there the majority of the
Democrats, speaking through their
legally chosen representatives,
laid down a platform and nomina-
ted ticket. 1t is not expected
that person will always find in
any platform all that he desires
and nothing which he does not
like. But when citizen comes
to vote be acts with that party
and indorses that platform which
gives to him the best assurance of
securing the most important things
which hedesires. (Applausc).
1t is proper, aye, more, 1t rs
necessary; that the candidate who
stands upon platform shall IN.
dorse the utterances Of his plat
form, and l stand before you to
declare in your presence that l in
dorse every word and every sylla.
bic of the platform at Chicago.
(Applause). But while l do so,
expect in this campaign the support
Of many Democrats who are not
willing to lndorse all that the plat
form declares for. (Applauso)."
This is the correct position. Few
of us get'all we want in platform.
1t often happens that much of the
platform is disapproved. But
what shall the Demo crat who has
pledged himself to abide the decis.
ion of the great tribunal Of his par
ty, do in such a case? There is
just one thing to do. Stay with
his party and fight for its suprem-
acy.-Arkansas Democrat.
We may pertlncntly suggest
also that he vote his party ticket
straight from constable up. In
local politics, and Office getting,
whiio there is perhaps no party
principle involved, organization
isireally the mainstay and founda.
ton of party success, Let every
Democrat think Of the consequent
ces of scattering votes. Nothing
will do more toward disintegra-
tion of parties than the scratching
! of tickets in county elections even
though the Office is unimportant.
Let US vote it straight by all
means, and though the Heavens
fail.
The Forrest City times., 1896-08-28

We have heard it whispered that
many of the young men In town
will support W. P. Mason for the
legislature regardless of party feal-
ty. We cannot believe that any of
the young Democrats of Forrest
City, especially Of those who par.
ticipated in the primary election,
will do anything of the kind, as it
would be black spot in their po-
litical record which time could not
eface. No, tie young Democrats
of Forrest City will not only vote
as they have morally obligated
themselves to do, but they will put
personal friendship for Prltchet in
the background for the time being
and work to secure his lasting de-
feat on such platform. He stands
for the repeal of tho election laws,
which in itself should defeat him.
