The Republican papers in the
south are giving the Eastern Re-
publicans to understand that if
they succeed in putting gold in the
platform as a single standard, they
will awake after the returns are all
in to find Mr.. Mckinley, to whom
the nomination will certainly fall,
badly beaten by silver Bimetallist
Democrat. The solid south and
unbrokcn West can do the job and
it goes without saying that they
will vote the silver ticket when the
time comes. The Democracy is in
better shape to do battle now than
it ever was as the issue is a vilate
one and the lines drawn between
honest men on one side and rascally
bond vendors on the other, We will
yet land the next Democratic Presi-
dent beyond a doubt.

JONES -HARROD DEBATE.
The two Candidates for Governor
Speak at the Miller County Court
House.

The Miller County court house
seated many interested spectators
last night to hear the Jones-Harrod
debate. These two gentlemen are
candidates tor Governor before the
unterrifed Democracy of Arkansas
and it is mete to say right here
that If either one is nominated he
will be overwhelmingly elected.
Hon. Dan Jones led off and his
speech was one of a constructive
nature. He is for free silver first
last and all the time. After making
this plain; he jumped off the subject
of silver and commenced to con-
struct a national platform to suit
his peculiar ideas and says, after he
has built it up, 1T suits me, and |
will have no other" ! will bolt if
they do not accept my way of
thinking at the Chicago Convention.
There is not much difference be-
tween the two men as to state
craft or questions that are being
discussed with few exceptions.
jones is in favor of a constitution
convention, while Harrod is
not. Mr.. Jones is also OPP
posed to a railroad COM
mission while Harrod favors one
1t is well to say here, however, that
Mr.. Jones has tempered down on
the commission proposition and SAYS
he will sign the bill should one be
passed, yet he thinks it unconstitu-
tional. He still says he will not
abide the Chicago convention should
that body in its wisdom see fit to
nominate a candidate antagonistic
to his views on the money question.
Mr.. Jones is a fine speaker and he
made some telling points and was
frequently cheered in his speech,
He has many personal friends here
who will vote for him even if his
peculiar idea of boiling does not
conform to their views of party dis
cipline.
Mr.. Harrod was accorded a hear
ing and he launched out on his sub
iect in a true oratorical style. He
is in favor of the free and unlimit-
ed coinage OF silver at l6 to |. He
will abide by the Democratic nomi-
nations at Chicago, whether the
candidate is a silver Democrat or
comes from the goldbug east. Mr.
Harrod favors a state retormatory
for youthful offenders, and many
other reforms of a needful nature.
In closing his speech and in answer
to Dan Jones boltng proclivitles
he said:
"On this question | stand with
Crisp, of Georgia, and Senators
Berry and Jones and all of our men :
bers of Congress from Arkansas in
holding that the place to win the
victory for silver is within the ranks
of the Democratic party; and ] ex-
