A Republican sheet Talks.

Here is the way the Eu-
reka Springs Republican,
one of the most prominent
republican papers in the
state talks about the affairs
OF the grand old party, says
and exchange:
1T is encouraging to note
that the revolt of the masses
against the despotic rulers
of the republican party is
being felt, not only here in
Arkansas, but throughout
the Union where similar
conditions prevail, Let the
good work go on, until the
last one of the bosses have
turned their political toes
TO the daisies. Down with
Hannaism! Do wn wit h
Filleyism! Down with Le-
landism! Down with Clay
tonism! Ere G Arkansas,
Missouri and Kansas with
one blow. The only hope
for the party in Arkansas
lies in a thorough reorgani
cation and overhauling OF
the party machinery. Uu-
til this is done the bourbons
can rest assured that they
will never be disturbed, "

This rian Hanna may not
be wise, sagacious nor

nently crafty and he DOS
sesses a very marked and
distinctive form of Especial
ability, 1t was this quail

chase a facile presidential
candidate for the trust and
combine influences which he
represents, by paying that
candidates debts and assum-
ing the receivership of his
political fortunes. BY means
of his same especial ability"
he organized and directed a
campaign for the presidential
nomination and election on a
Doodle and slush fund basis
absolutely without parallel,
and finally landed his can

be looked for soon between Admiral Sampson
and the Spanish feet. The fact. however that
no encounter took place in the Windward Pas

Spanish Admiral will avoid combat even to
the extent Of slipping away.
Admiral Sampson after shelling San Juan made
no attempt to take and mold the city because the
