THE GREAT uNWASHED.
A Correspondent Wants to Know When Phillips Ablotion
 Took Place.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, Jaae II, 1898. Editor of the GRAPHIC.
 DEAR S1R:-I notice in the last issue of the Pine Bluff Courier an a-ticle headed "A Clean Man for Sheriff." in the form of T M. Phil lips. I ask the question, when was he washed clean? I would ike to know when I was raised in the country and cast my first vote in Talledega township. But ia those days the judges did oos 70 to Grant or Cleveland county for voters as was done on May 7th in Talle. dega for Phillips apd Martin. I do not say they went after the voters from Grant and Cleveland to vote, but voters from those eoun- ties did vote in Talledega, and that too, when tho judges knew they lived in those counties. 1t has been proven that illegal votes were cast in other townships o tke same nature. But nc such charges have been brought against Brewster or laid at his door. Neither have you heard of any telegrams being sent to saw mills south, "vote all the men you can for Brewster and Sorrella, as was done fer Phillips and Martin. am not making a fight on Mir Phillips, but ] want the Courier 10 Know that Taiedega did not vote elaan vote for Mr Phil1 i lips, and don't want tbe ya.a.ss Jefferson 10 forget that aa ce was taken against Mf se and we do not knos that he vas washed l so as 10 be clean We nope the l6th of June will be wash day for all, as i all can vote f they like As for the other contestants, l do not think the m good Democrats or they would l be more charitable towards fhcir l fellow-mcn. Some seem to think 1 that Brewster cannot hold the party together, but I see 10 reason why he is not as good as any other Demo crat.

Mr. Brewster, we are informed, urges as his leading argument for nomination that he was legally and lawfully nominated; that had the investigation proceeded, his claim to the nomination would have been confirmed by the court of inquiry, and that he would have led the Democratic hosts to victory in November Courier.
 Mr. Brewster does not expect to 'lead the Democratic hosts to vic tory in November. The State election in this State is the first Monday in September, at which time Mir. Brewster expects to "ead the Democratic hosts to victory. We said yesterday that the Court ? in it's sudden advocacy of Phillips rushed into print unprepared, now we know it. If the Courier don [ know anything more about Brew ster, Mccoy or Phillips than it does about the day Of election, it should not seek to advise the intel ligent people of this county on the way they should vote.

A REPLY
To an Opsn Letter from One Buck
 Bloom.
PINE BLUFF, ARK. JUNE IA, 1898.
MR. BUCK BLOOM, ,
 City.
Bloom.

City.
 SIR:-I have just been put to the pains and trouble of translating a communication addressed to me and signed by you and published in this mornings Press-Eagle. under the head of an "Open Letter" Your comnunicat atlon Is couched In strange language to me. and one with which l am entirely unfamil- far, ns I do mt remember to have read anything like it before. But gather that you have Il complaint to mHkp nhout certain publications in he GRAPHIC, and I write to eX- plain to e0u that said publications were not my compositions, but the sworn atiidavits of reputable citi- zens relative to certain conduct of yours i'll the present campaign that needed some explanation. For in- stance. 1 published a sworn afftda- wit from Squire ". N. Bridges rela- tive to certain visit you and one Joe Pilkington made to his home several miles from this city in the dead hour of midnight, and on which occasion, you endeavOred to persuade him to give you his proxy as a member of the central commit tee, and failing in this that you re- tired and then your confederate stepped up and offered him a sum of money. These were Squire Bridges statements and not mine, and his affidavit has not been denied. Were his statements true? If not, then you should have exculpated your self and employer from Squire Bridges sworn charges.
 remember also to have published sworn affidavit from MT. w. T. McFadien relative to another trip you and Mir Joe Pilkington took to the residence of Dr. B. k. Donelson for the purpose of obtaining proxy and also ballot box. Was Mir. McFadden's statement also true? If not. you should exculpate your self and employer from any blame arising from such conduct,
 AS public newspaper, the GRAPH Ic performed its duty by publishing your exploits. They were so singu- lar and remarkable, for of all the good people of Jefferson county it strikes me as being queer-and alto gether worthy of publication in a newspaper-that you and Joe Pill kim ton should be the only citizens that would go abroad in the county in the hour of midnight and across raging waters in search of proxies. Did you do 1t? If you didn't, why don't you deny it and support your denial with the statements m wit nesses equally as creditable as those who have made the aftidaylts against you? If they have spoken truly, then you have only your shady conduct to answer for. Whatever record you have made, you have made for yourself. Anc you must stand and be judged by your own conduct and bear the con- sequences of your own acts. Thank God, am neither responsible or have to answer for them.
 From these you cannot escape by venting your spleen on one who has simply turned on the effuleent rays of the GRAPHIc's Searchlight of Truth, and held your conduct up to the scrutinizing gaze of the world.
 You must stand or fall by your record, and you cannot escape it.

In the event of war Boulder boy,
Howard Babcock, the Ioyear-old son OF
William Babcock will doubtless see some
service in the naval conflict. He is a
midshipman on the battleship Concord
of the Asatic squadron, which will prob
ably be ordered to the Philippines in
event of hostilities with Spain. The
squadron has been working southwark
from Japan to Hong Kong and will be
ready to strike blow when war is de.
clared. Young Babcock has been on the
sea for several years in various capaci-
ties, having begun service in the training
ship Philadelphia at San Francisco. He
is stalwart young fellow, of imposing
mien and manly bearing. in fact a typi-
cal American. such as this country will
delight to send against the enervated
dons. He will probably be heard OF
later, and he has Boulder's well-wishes
for his future.

The Advocate and news., 1898-02-23

Like the late Secretary Of Agriculture,
Mr.. Morton, who availed himself Of ev-
cry occasion to deliver lectures on sound
money, the present Secretary Of the
Treasury, Mr.. Gage, is making business
of denouncing the greenback notes as
a floating debt that ought to be paid and
let their places be supplied by private
bank notes.
It is time this debt idea should be
abandoned. While 1t Is true that, ac-
Cording to the old theories Of paper
money, every emission OF bills of credit
was in the nature of loan because the
government did in fact intend to borrow
and expected to pay. 1t Is true, also,
that when our greenbacks were first is-
sued they were regarded as sort OF a
forced loan, but the fact is, they were
paid out as money, they passed from
hand to hand as money, and they have
paid their way thirty-tlve years without
OccasiOning the loss Of dollar to any
holder, and are now as good as gold,
allowing Mr.. Gage himself. TO be the
Judge.
The rapid retirement of these notes
Immediately after the war was Cne reason
for a statute limiting the contraction
and to another, later, stopping 1t alto
gether and providing that the notes
should not be cancelled or withheld, but
should be paid out as fast as they were
redeemed and kept in circulation"
The people don't want these notes re-
tired; they have said 80 repeatedly, and
any party that proposes or undertakes
to do it will itself be retired. Nobody
understandingly advocates this policy Of
retirement except persons who In some
way are personally interested.
Mr.. Secretary Gage Is a banker. His
business would be benefited by a law that
would get rid Of the government notes
and authorize banks to borrow notes on
pledge Of bonds and then use the notes
in their business without interest.
