Though lost to earth it is his gain
To ever be at rest
Beyond this vale of sin ana pam
And be a heavenly guest.

Arkansas Cor. Of the Conmcrcial-AppcaL.
Col. ]. H. Smithee, editor Of the Lit
tie Rock Gazette, who was closely asso-
ciated WITH Senator James X. Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee; Hon. Thos. Patterson of
Colorado and other Bryan leaders at the
Populist convention, has returned to the
city. Col. Smithee is thoroughly dis
gusted with the action of tire conven-
ton and gives vent to his feelings in a
column article in the Gazette this morn.
ing, The article says in part Let no
populist even again open his head to
claim that he belongi to the only party
that favors the restoration of silver. Ii
eyer II great and holy cause was sacri-
feed, murdered, crucilied on the ambi
tieus cross Of Il few demagogical, selfish
leaders, il was monetary reform at st.
Louis. Free silver received a stab by
the national Populist convention from
which it staggered and reeled like a
drunken man. Murdered in the house
of its friends. it will take time to recover
from the blow. But recover it will, and
will be the undoing of the men who be
traycd the holy cause of the honest yeo-
menry of the country, The narrow,
contracted, selfish leaders have doomed
the Populist party, They have pulled
down the structure over their own heads.
The wild eyed, loud mouthed Texans,
aided by Southern calamity shrickers,
would not hear the advice or counsel of
wise conservative men of their party
They insisted on rushing to their own
destruction, They Kissed the venerable,
white haired Senator Stewart of Neva-
da, who has done more than all others
to bring to the attention of the people
the wrong done by John Sherman and
his o-conspirators against silver; they
Kissed Hon. Thomas M. Patterson Of
Colorado, who refused to support Cleve-
land in 1892 and threw his great inhu-
nee to Gen. Weaver in that campaign
and carried his State for the Populist
party ticket; they Kissed the brilliant
young Colorado x-congressman, LATE
Pence. whose splendid record in con.
gress did more than that Of any other
MAJ to give responsibility and standing
to the People party even Jerry Simp-
son, the veteran Peoples party advo-
cate of Kansas, did not escape their
jeers. This, too, from chivalric South.
But the Texas, the Mississippi, the Ar
kansas, the Georgia and other middle Of
the-road Southerners were in the sad
die, and they rode to the death of their
party. If ever men proved their inca
paclty to govern, they did. The Yves
terriers, who have electoral votes at
their command, were voted down by
men who not only have no electoral
votes to deliver, but no congressman OF
ANYTHING else. The nomination of Bry-
an against his will with a new running
mate in the person of ext Congressman
Watson OF Georgia will not save the PEG
pies party. 1t does not deserve to be
saved

Whereas, we see from the last issue of
the Albanian that a mass meeting held
in Carrollton at the Court House July
18th a committee was appointed to see
that we had fair elections in Whitten's
and Fairfield beats in August, and
Whereas, we have always %endeavored
to carry out the law in regard to cleo
tons, and it having always been the
policy of the Southern people to resist
the Force Bill or any interference at
elections, and believing said steps We're
taken for no other cause than we have
always carried up a solid democratic
vote, and
Whereas we consider the appointment
of said committee reflects on the honesty
and integrity of the citizens of Fairfield
and Whitten's beats and on the mama
gers appointed by the officers of the
county to hold said election, and
Whereas, we are satisfied that we
have no citizens in Fairfield or Written S
who would perjure himself to carry d
vote for the democratic party, and
Whereas, the courts are open for any
redress of wrongs committed, and that
we have always been able to paddle our
canoe without interference, and such
conduct having stirred the feelings Of
the most careless in regard to the cleo
ton, now therefore be it ~
Resolved, that we consider the apt
pointing of said committee a direct in.
suit to the citizens of Fairfield and Whit
tens and most emphatically and unmit
igatingly condemn such action and re.
quest said committee to remain away
from Fairfield and Written 8 beats.
