HON, A. H. SEWER,

Hon. A. H. Sewer, o. Miller coun
ty, in response to the solicitations
of many friends, has permitted the
use of his name as a candidate for
Governor. The name of Sewer is
well known in Arkansas. 1t figures
very conspicuously in the history of
the state. Mr., Sewer comes OF the
old stock, and is one of the best
Democrats in Arkansas, In 1891
he was member of the Legisla'
ture, and as chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means of the
House, demonstrated on many oc-
caslons his familiarity with the
needs of his state. Should Mr., Sc
vier succeed in obtaining the nomi-
nation for Governor, he will make
one of the most efficient executives
that ever guided the ship of state
for Arkansas, Little Rock Ga
zette.
The Gazette knows a good mar
when it sees one, and has the back
bone to hold that man up for pub
lie scrutiny, The Major woulC
make a good Governor, and this
part OF the state is entitled to rec
ognition. Let us give him a boon
and put hum in.

Representatives in 1891, and is the

Mr.. Sewer is a lawyer by profess
sion and forcible speaker, 1t is
presumed that he will present his
claims to the Democracy of the
state from the stump with other
candidates for state offices. - Ark

1t is Major Sewers intention to
mix with the people Of the state, at
times, as his business will permit,
and give his views on all state or
national issues now being discussed.
He is a forcible speaker, is good on
argument, and we expect him to
make a splendid race and win,

Lincoln ]. Carter, who has made
a great deal of money out OF the
scenic melodrama, "The Fast Mail, "
hasl fairly outdone its mechanical
wonders in a new piece bearing the
suggestive title, "The Tornado, "
which was presented to large and
enthusiastic audience that tested
the capacity of Havlin's at both
Sunday performances. The play is
plentifully spllced with sensational
situations. Among the scenic fea-
lures are collision at sea, a sink
ing ship, burning house, and final
ly tornado that displays to thrill
ing advantages the present posi-
bilities of stage illusion. Mr.. Car
ter was called before the curtain

JONES AND CLARKE.
They Have their First Word Battle at
Hartford IN Sebastian County.

Governor Clarke and Senator
Jones met yesterday on the political
hustings in Sebastian county, to a
large out pour of the rural district.
Governor Clark led off and at
tackled the Senator's record as Il
politician, dwelling with particular
emphasis on the tariff and silver
bills. He declared that Senator
Jones totally disregarded his con-
stitency in the part he had taken
and had departed from the tradi-
tions of the Democracy by the part
he played in the German tariff law.
He accused Jones as blindly follow
ing Grover Cleveland a man whose
patriotism he Clarke seriously
questioned.
He said that the Senator was
basing his reputation upon the
tariff bill, although in truth, it was
little better than the Republican
bill.
Senator Jones reply, took up the
charges hurled at him by Clarke and
answered him in rote. He showed
that his course in the Senate was
consistent. He disposed of the
Governors charge that the tariff
law was little better than the
Republican law by quoting the
reduction made on numerous ar
ticles aud the statement that 103
articles formerly taxed had been
placed on the tree list and that
hundreds had been reduced.
In like manner he treated the
silver bill, explaining his connection
with it.
Col. Jones was given attention
and was frequently interrupted with
loud and long applause.
We think after the eight speeches
are made by the two men in Sebas-
tian, Clarke will find the Senator
too much for him and he will not
make another effort to place his
claws on the Senatorial perch.

Call and examine goods and get
prices before buying elsewhere.
