The ANONYMOUS letter writer again

A1tbtSI NNAtNCE AS%AH
THE News is in receipt, this morning.
Of a letter signed Honest Democracy
The writer fails to send his real name
and address with it, and therefore we
decline TO publish it. Anonymous com
municat:ons which attack personal char
aeter are in their very nature cowardly
and blackguardly, and this is no excep-
tion to the rule. Even assuming every
word contained in it to be true, it re-
mains co%ardly and b~lackguardiy. In
decd, IT isfan the more Infamous if it is
truthful, because a citizen who knew the
things alleged in this letter to be true
and who took the interest in public affairs
s%ghich it indicates. has no excuse for
hiasgg his identity. If he is as sure of
his facts, as pure in his motives and as
righteousIy indignant on absolutely nom
personal ground as he pretends he must
be the most abject of towards to make
his accusations anonymously. So much
for the communication and its author. If
"Honest Democracy" will come out of
hiding and send his communications to
THE News" over his own name, furnish
ing his address. in the usual way. as an
evidence of good faith. we win then con-
slider his accusations seriously. Unless he
does this we must wait for some of the
developments which he says are coming.
BY the way 1T Is worth mentioning
that Honest Democracy" claims to have
been the author Of that other anony-
NOUS letter which was read at Tom
Jacobs kiekers' symposium in Hoboken
last week.

The Arkansas Election.

The newest reports of the Arkansas
election sttl further impair its signii-
canoe as an omen favorable to Bryan. It
is true the Popocratic State leaders have
ADVANCED their claims to 5000 plurality;
/but the figure appears to be wholly I'M
warranted. The conservative and I'M
prejudiced estimates give them about g.
600 majority,
The normal Democratic plurality is
about $4,000. with about 24,eOO Populist
votes. This time, it is estimated, Files,
the Populist candidate for Governor, will
not poll over 1900, the other 1900 going
over to the Popocrat ticket. Thus, it is
evident about eight thousand Democrats
must have refrained from voting, the
.2st Democratic gain being only 1900, in
yBite of the Z. 900 recruits.
The Republicans lost enormously
through their id,otic espousal of the pro
hibition cause. their candidate, Mr.. Rem
mel. having, it is assured. forfeited s.
900 votes in Little Rock and its vicinity
through a speech made last Saturday
night. IN which he advised Republicans
to vote against licensing. In spite of
all these Disadvantages, it is conceded
the Republican vote showed marked gains
in several parts of the State.
Over and above all other considera-
tions, there can be no doubt about the
gross fraudulency of the election, the
Popocrats being the benehciaraes of the
i~niquity.
