The Figures Don't Lie.

In the debate at the courthouse
last Saturday, Hon. l.. P. Berry, in
dIsclaiming the responsibility of
Crittenden county for the defeat of
Woodruffs candidate for state SEN
ator in 1890, presented the follow
ing official returns, as now of rec
ord in the Secretary Of States Of
flee, the correctness of which Mr..
Ferguson did not and does not now
dispute:
For Governor Eagle, democrat, 668;
tizer, p0palist, 1868
All other candidates for state Offices
substantially the same.
For Circnit JUDGE. L Riddick,
democrat. 1853; Nancy Jane Thompson,
populist. 1472.
For Prosecuting Attorney j. d.
Block, democrat, 500; j. b. Boykin,
populist, 1916.
For State Senator-T. l.. Stanley
democrat, COS; +. 2. Hill, populist,
1902
For County Representative Asa
Hodges, democrat. SIS; G w Watson,
negro and regular republican nominee,
HOS; II " White. negro and lndepen.
dent republican, 456; g f Morris. white.
independent. II.
For County judges A Martin, dem
ocrat, with endorsement OF regular
republicans. 1870; Z d Sanders.
republican, nominee of boiling repub-
licans, All; w Z Raulston. indepen-
dent republican. $40
For Shariff w L. w., 4
with the endorsement OF both the bolt
ing and independent republicans. 1900;
A I'll Ferguson. regular republican
nominee, ITO.
For Treasurer L Haden, democrat
and present clerk of Crittenden county.
| 493; Pat Gleason. regular republican
| nominee. 1919; W Hardin, indepen
dent, 296; X Y Logan, independent,
| negro; 45S.
For Assessor-W II Williford, demo-
crat. 1872; j L Thompson. negro, regu-
lar republican nominee. 1855
Sam Keel, the democratic nominee
for circuit clerk, with the republican
endorsement. was elected over the
boiling republican by practically the
same majority as 5 a Martin.
These figures demonstrate that
tho democrats of Crittenden only
elected three officers at that cleo
tion, and these We're elected by
reason Of securing the endorsement
of republican conventions. They
further contradict and disprove tho
charge that the democrats of Crit
tenden were disloyal to Woodruff S
candidate for state senator.

Will Leave Us With the Bag to Hold.

The recent high water in the
Mississippi, and comparatively
low water in the ST. Francis bot
tom has furnished statistics, if they
were necessary, to prove the eff
cacy of levees. The counties
north of the south end of the great
levee have remained dry. The
water at Memphis was higher this
year than at any period during the
great flood of 1897, while at Madl.
son, and in fact throughout st.
Francis bottom, it was from FIVE
TO eight feet lower than high water
mark last year. Had il not been
for tho levee there would have
been from two to five feet more
water in the bottom this year, and
this would have meant disaster to
many. The levec saved them.
The question then is not Shall
we have levces? but, How shall
we get moro levoes, and close the
gap between the present south
end, twenty-six miles north oil
Mempaisy and the II outh of St
Francis river? A sys1em has been
set in operation. Years have been
spent In perfecting ii. Land grants
were obtained, taxes levied, con.
tracts let, work begun and is now
IN course of completion. The PEG.
pie in the district have voted for :
tax upon their realty and have
given the enterprise their hearty
approval and support. OF course
there are a few excep tions, and
they arc pessimlstic and talk o.
the failure of the leve, s, and tina
they can't succeed. and the PEOPLE
arc going to have bio cd over il
and all such nonsense. and they
express the hope tina the mex
legislature will re-opt IN the leves
question and give the, n chance
at the thing, and tn sy'll "do {
plenty 10 it," They lope to ger

..Oh, Happy Day"

1t is highly gratifying TO The
Times to learn that the third party
in this county has concluded TO
put no ticket in the field, and that
a large number of its members,
perhaps % per cent, purpose again
identifying themselves with the
democratic party. We are told
that nearly all-hundreds-w.ll
come back and hereafter be loyal
to their first love. This is happy
day. We give them welcome and
assure them of the good will and
fellowship which awaits them in
our ranks. The vote of the pri-
mary on May eth will be swelled
to figures variously estimated at
from 1900 to 1900, and grand old
democracy will be vindlcated, and
the party reunited and cemented.
The Times congratulates the third
party people upon the wisdom OF
this determination. 1T is meet and
proper that the white people OF
this country should labor together
in harmony for its upbuilding.
We congratulate the democratic
party upon the return of such q
formidable element of strength.
Let US then go into the primary
together, each individual deter
mined TO countenance no fraud.
Let the people have free ballot
and an absolutely fair count, and
when the result is declared, let
there be no grounds for suspicion,
and let US rally as one man to the
nominees, and elect them by the
biggest democratic vote ever polled
in st. Francis county.

Hon. P. d. McCulloch, candi-
date for r reelection TO congress, is
making no canvass because ques-
tions of vital interest to the coun-
try are before congress and he
rightly deems it his duty to re-
main at Washington and guard the
interests of the FIRST district and
the nation. He therefore natur-
ally looks TO his friends at home
10 see that his candidacy does not
suffer IN consequence ofhis absence,
and verify, it should not In his
behalf then, The Times again
directs the attention of voters to
his announcement and to his re-
cord, and asks that they give both
the careful and such favorable con-
sIderation as they certainly de-
serve. 2. d. McCulloch has not
been often heard upon the floors
OF congress IN speeches. 1t is not
necessary that he should have
been. Important questions com
ing before congress arc too fire.

1t is sufficient if our member stud
les the issues, and votes right.
We have never heard p. ID. Nc.
Culloch accused of voting wrong.
He is for his people, is able, well
qualified and worthy, and will APP
preciate the votes of democrats as
an endorsement of mis- acts so FAR
of record. He asks you for such
Endorsement on May Eth. He has
been faithful TO every trust reposed
in him. He has discharged the
duties OF his high Office in an hon.
orable and dignihod manner, and
with credit TO himself and honor
to his district, he asks to be re-
turned.
