thanksgiving. He believes in thanking
the all wise -for our preservation as
nation and our deliverence from every
threatened danger, for the peace that
has dwelt within our boundaries, for the
defense against disease and pestilencs
during the year that has passed; for the
plenteous rewards that have followed the
labers Of our husbandman; and for all
the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to u.s."
The threatened danger he refers to no

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through she mucous
surface. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from
reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good
you possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine.
1t is taken internally, and made in
Toledo, Ohio, by F. j. Cheney &

Mai. A. H. Sewer For Governor.

Our Fellow tOwnsman, Maj. a. ii.
Sewer, at the special solicitation OF
quite a number of old friends, Gin
petition elsewhere in this paper
at his former home, and over the
State, has decided to make the race
for Governor.
In answering the petition or call,
Mai. 6. states his position on num-
Der of very important public ques-
tions, and we can heartily endorse
his advocacy of the proposed re-
forms in our great state. See what
he says.
Maj, Sewer is model citizen, a
shrewd lawyer aud a well posted,
conscientious statesman. He enter
ed the Southern army in June, 1861,
at lS. years of age and served
through the enteire war; was Sc
verely wounded, and entered a
Federal prison. He is native of
Arkansas, and is well known as a
Democratic wheel horse; has always
worked in the front ranks OF his
party at all times-has made a
great many fine stump speeches for
it, in many parts of the state. He
served with distinction in the Leg
lslature, one term, from Lafayette
county, and this is about the only
recognition, we believe, that he has
received at the hands of his party.
We can conscientiously say tina t we
belive he is fully capable of filling,
and worthy, the high Office of Gov
ernor, and hope he will receive the
nomination and be elected to it.
Southwest Arkansas has not had
a representative in the Chief Exec
utive's chair since the early years
of its existence as state, and
it is meet and proper that she be
now given this place, by nominating
Mai. Sewer as the next Democratic
standard bearer In the past few
years nearly every other portion
has had this honor-Berry from
Benton, Miller from Independence,
Hughes from Monroe, Fishback
from Sebastian, Clarke from Phil
lips, ETC., etc. Now let it be Sewer
from Miller, and good old Arkansas
will continue to develop aud pros
per. Let the Southern and South
western portions of the state insist
upon recognition
AS stated before, Maj. S. is wei
qualified to fill the Office the asks for
and there are few who could serve
the State with more distinction anC
honor, both to himself and the
| State.

in the vaults of the United States
Treasury should be coined at once,
and that no paper money, less than
ten dollars, should be issued either
by the government or the National
banks, thereby forcing silver into
circulation.
l believe, il the National banks
were compelled to keep greenbacks
as the reserve, which they are by
law Iequired to hold, and which
reserve at this time amounts TO
over three hundred million dollars,
that it would remove the demand
upon the gold in the National
treasury and go for towards restor-
ing confidence and prosperity
thoroughout the union. / believe, if
the greenbacks were thus retired
from circulation and an end put to
the drain upon the treasury to re-
deem them-the government would
be in d condition and amply able to
grant free silver coinage to the
product of the silver mines in the
United States.
l fervently pray for a happy
issue out of our financial troubles,
and should I he nominated and
elected, l Ipromise you, that it will
be my highest endevaor, 50 to
discharge the duties of the position,
that | may deserve the approval Of
my fellow citizens and retain The
good opinion of my fi4nde through,
out the state.
Yours respectfully,

ing interest in the supremacy Of
Democracy in both State and Ma
ton, and being solicitous that har-
mony shall reign in our party tenn
pie, we have as former neighbors of
yours, remembering your splendid
services as representative of Lafay-
cite county, as well as your envia-
able record from bOyhood to man
hood in the civil war, and likewise
your sterling and unimpeachable
Democracy and marked abilities,
conferred together and agreed to

date for governor, subject to nOmi
nation by the Democracy of Ar
kansas.
We sincerely trust that you will
favorably consider the earnest wish
es of your fellow Democrats and
erstwhile neighbors and make for
NAL announcement at an early
date.
We feel that we are about to en-
ter a campaign IN which only men
possessing the courage of their con-
victions should be placed in front.
Hence we turn to you as 4 man
measuring up to this standard, and
one around whom the great major

Gentlemen
You will please accept my sincere
thanks for this expression of your
friendship and confidence. 1t is ex-
tremely gratifying to me to feel
that l have the good opinion of
those of my fellow cltizens among
whom | have lived during the past
fifteen years of my life. 1t shall
ever be my earnest effort to retain
it.
In acceding to your request that
become a candidate for the noml-
nation for Governor OF Arkansas by
the Democratic party, I do so, real
izing the many responsibilities that
surround the Executive of our
State. Should | be selected and
elected, shall rely for success upon
the constant effort | shall make to
do my duty honestly, fearlessly, and
for the general welfare and ad-
vancement Of every material inter-
est of our commonwealth.
| believe the time has arrived for
a new order Of public affairs in Ar
kansas, We are standing in the
vestibule Of new era. We are on
Ire threshold Of the development
of the wonderful resources of our
great State and and we are on the
eve of widespread immigration
from the alkali plains of the North
west. 1t is manifest destiny, We
would be recreant to duty, did we
neglect this opportunity, or fail to
take advantage of our peculiarly
favorable position Nature has
been lavish to us of her gifts.
Shall we refuse to reap the har-
vest?
am heartily IN favor OF good
roads. believe they are the best
advertisement any country can
have.
| am in favor OF the payment of
salaries to our officials in place of
fees. believe the change would
be advantageous both to the people
and the officials,
| am In favor of uniform assess
ments Of property throughout the
State, SO that no one part of the
State would pay higher rate of
taxation than another on account
of failure of proper assessment.
| am in favor of uniform text
books for our schools throughout
the State, 50 that children could
move from one section Of the State
to another, without being forced to
buy new text books, as is now the
the case,
/ am in favor of the most rigid
economy in the administration of
State Finances, and believe that
the taxes should be reduced as low
as possible and as soon as practical
Bile, commensurate with proper
regard for the interests and de-
mands of the State.
| am in favor OF bmetallism--I
regard the demonetization Of silver
by the world a mistake trust that
a way may be found to restore
silver to its place as redemption
money, under condition that will
keep 1t on a parity with gold,
