 fate the amendment which Mr Tays lop wrote across the margin.
 Again, in trying to saddle on Mt. Brewster responsibility for the in. 'vsestigation, Maj. Mccoy. ignores the faetfhat on Thursday, June 23, another of his attorneSs, J. M. Tay. Tor by name, served notice on MT. Brewster, through Constable Phil pot, that he would proceed to in spect the ballots from day to day, in the presence or County Clerk Flanders until such inspection is completed.
 In pursuance of the above notice, Maj McCoys attorneys and repre- sentatives proceeded to inspect every city ward box that gave a plurality for Mr Brewster. This is the reason setforth by Maj. Mccoy n his open letter:
 "l was informed that many white Republicans had voted in Vaugine township and the First Ward and had reason to believe that large majority of them had voted for Brewster. ,
 Yet in the face of these facts MT. Mccoy seeks to escape responsi@ bility and put it on his opponent. But such duplieity and hypocricy won work The facts are against him and known fo-all men, After Maj. Mccoy had inves stigated Brew ster boxes, it was but natural that MT. Brewster should retaliate by Investigating Mccoy boxes, which he did. It was necessary in self de ferse.
 But Mccoy and his partisans can't escape res possibility for initi- ating the aspectiong. The reso- luton authorizing the Inspection was theirs, and the first ballot box inspected was done in pursu. ance of legal notice served on MT. Brewster by the constable of Vau- zine township.
 Gentlemen, stand by your recordl Don't try to escape the consequen- ces of your own acts because they should prove to be unpopular. If you have erred, acknowledge it: if you have not erred, defend it, but don't add political cowardice to the unsavory record you have already made in the present campaign.

PINE BLUFF, ARK. JULY ?, 1898
MAJ. MoCoY, voting for himself, would be the @lf fcQastituted pominee of the Democratic party for Sheriff.

Time is Aeeting, and life is too short for the Central Committe to be ordering primary elections for Sheriff until MT. Brewster and his purtisans can come across one in winch the returns will figure up to their liking Press Eagle
 We beg to remark that the above paragraph does not apply to Mr. Brewster or his friends, Mir, Brew ster never requested the second primary, but opposed it. It was Maj. Mccoy, whc, recognizing that Mir. Brewster had established his right to be declared the nominee Of the May primary for Sheriff, that, as a last resort, advocated a second primary in hopes that he and his partisans might come across one in which the returns would figure up to their liking This was accom- plished bya union of the Phillips and Mccoy forces in the Democratic County Convention on June I MT. Brewster was perfectly satisfied with the May primary, and, we re- peat, did not ask a second primary, but opposed it. The second pri. mary was the result of the work of Mri. McCoy's partisaus, and they cannot escape the responsibility thorefor. Let them stand or fall by their own record.
