Jonesville Independent: An important de-
cision was recently made by the Attorney
General in regard to elections in villages
and townships. He says the fpti-fusion
law passed by the Legislature applies to all
elections, general as well as local. This
decision says in substance that no candidate
shall have his name printed on the ticket
more than once, no matter how many differ
ent parties may have placed him in NOM
nation. The Attorney General also says
that Act No. 1873, public acts of 1898, which
provides that in all school, village and city
elections wemen shall be allowed to VOTE
has been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court and that women cannot
therefore, vote at school elections only as
provided in the general school law.

FOR AN ELECTRIC STREET RAIL
WAY FOR PINE BLUFF.
Thu Deal About Contaminated Which
Will Give Our Town the
Coveted Enterprise.

Mr.. d. G. Bell, who has charge OF
the Citizens Street Railway line, of

sas City to confer with capitalists
with view to selling same and
having it converted into an electric
line, returned home Yesterday.

called on Mr.. Bell, to interview him
in regard to the success Of his trip
and found him eXuberant over the
prospects of Pine Bluff having first
class, thoroughly equipped, electric
street railway line at an early day.

These gentlemen are backed by ample
capital to carry out every contract
they make, and the question of
whether Or not Pine Bluff will have
an electric street railway depends
largely upon the issue as 70 whether
or not these parties can make con-
tract with the city for street light

they can do. Therefore, the pros
poets for an electric street railway
in this city at an early day are
brighter than ever before
The city is now advertising for
bids for street lighting, and it will
please our people to know that the
electric light company OF this city
bids fair to have Il competitor for
their patronage.

HON. TH0s. C. McRAE AND MIR.
JACOB TREIBER DISCUSS
ISSUES OF THE
DAY.
A Large Audience Gave the Speak.
ers an Attentive Hearing and
Both Were Applauded
by Their Parti-
sans

Last night in the persons of the
Hon. Thos. G. McRae and Mr.. Jacob
Treiber, Pine Bluff had two distin-
guished visitors. Mr.. MeRae is the
Congressman from the Third Con
gressfonal District of this State, and
Mr.. Treiber, of Helena, is candi-
date on the Republican ticket for
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court OF
Arkansas.
Mr. Treiber is making canvass OF
the State in his own interest and
that of the Republican party, while
Hon. 7. c. McRae had been appoint
ed by the State Democratic Central
Committee to meet him in joint de-
bate on the issues OF the day.
At s O'Clock last evening these
gentlemen addressed large audience
from the Court House steps. The
gentlemen were introduced by Mai.
n. T White, Chairman of the Bryan
and Sewall Club. Mr.. McRae was
the first speaker, and in an able and
effective manner lie showed up the
falIaeies of the arguments used by the
Republicans in their debates on the
questions of free silver and protec-
tive tariff. He spoke for an hour
and n half in an instructive and en-
tertaining manner, and his points,
always well taken and put in mas
terly manner, were loudly applauded;
but the speaker did not appear
to the best advantage until his re-
ioinder, when he gave some telling
body blows to Republicanism and
those who advocate the single gold
standard.
Mr.. Treiber is one Of the most in
telligent Republicans in the State,
and is, also, II speaker OF marked
ability, and from Republican view,
his address to our people last even
ing VAS Il very able one, and he was
frequently interrupted by applause
from the Republicans and one or two
gold bug Democrats present. Itwas
nearly II O'Clock before the last
speaker closed and the general YER
dict was that honors were about
even between them.

Mn. TAYLoR's RESOLUTION.


To the Sound Money Democrats of Jefferson
County:
Conceiving that the organization
Of the Democratic party has, by the
adoption of the Chicago platform,
attempted to commit the members
of the party to principles that have
heretofore only found expression in
platforms adopted by the so-ealled
Populist party.
That it has attacked the honor of
the Nation in the financial heresies
therein proclaimed.
That they have announced to the
world that the action of the present
Democratic administration in sup
pressing riots and protecting prop
erty and public commerce was con-
demned by the Democratic party:
thereby committing the future pol
icy of the party to the cause OF
anarchy when it shall be confronted
with similar conditions.
Therefore, Resolved, That believ-
ing as we do that to approve by
silence such a platform would be to
commit a political wrong and do in
justice to our country and its BUSH
ness interests, We hereby proclaim
our disapproval of the Chicago plat
orm and the candidates nominated
by that convention.
We demand the privilege of being

Democrats, who are preaching the
tenets of Republioanism and doing
their best to betray the grand old
party of Jefferson and Jackson,
and yet have the hardihood to call
themselves Democrats.
The meeting was formally organ
lied by the election of Gen. H. King
White as Chairman and Mr.. Lev.
Fowler as Secretary.
The General was then called upon
for a speech, and he made one very
much ON the lines of that made by
the Republican, Jacob Treiber, at
the same spot the night before;
with the exception that Gen. White
was more bitter in his remarks con-
corning those who advocate the
cause of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
Mr. Lev. Fowler was then called
upon for a "speech, but the gen
tleman rose and gracefully declined
the honor by saying that General
White had just expressed his views
better than he (Fowler) could do it
himself.
Mr.. John NJ. Taylor was the next
called upon by the gold bugs for a
speech, but he declined and reitei
ated the statement that General
White had expressed his sentiments
wonderfully well.
The following delegates were elect
ed to attend the gold bug conven-
ton to be held at Little Rock and
Indianapolis:

Mr.. John NJ. Taylor, the corpora
tion lawyer, who was so active in
aiding the Federal authorities to
arrest a number of the A. r. U.
men in this city and other parts of
the State during the strike several
years ago, introduced the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted. Every laboring man, and
particularly union labor men, should
carefully read this resolution, con-
slider its source, and then compare
it with the platform of the true
Democratic party The comparison
is sure TO result in a verdict fayora-
BILE to the Chicago platform.

Farming Products to He Sold at Auo-
tion For Campaign Purposes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-S. e. Diffen-
derfer of the National Silver executive
committee has devised plan which
he thinks will assist in raising funds
throughout farming localities to carry
ON local campaigns. The idea will, he
says. be brought to the attention Of the
farmers through the medium of news
papers and party organs He proposes
that farmers shall donate wheat, corn,
sheep or any other products of the
farm, these to be sent to a central point,
where the people may gather, and then
be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
The occasion will be sort of harvest
campaign festival where people may
eongregate and where products may be
bought by those wanting them, the pro.
ceeds to be devoted exclusively to paying
the expenses of the campaign in the
particular localities represented The
farmers, he says, are not able to con-
tribute money for political campaign
purposes, but will, he believes, do what
they can in the manner indicated to ad.
vance the political interests they have
at heart
