for a period, if not forever.
 Democrats should be honest and honorable among themselves. The party pledge should be kept iu. violate, and those who have gone be- fore the party and achieved an honorable victory should be pro tected in their rights.
 In the primary of May 7 MT. Ed. gar Brewster was the honest and legal nominee for Sheriff of Jeffer- son county,a result tha: was sought to be overcome by fraud.
 As result of the divisions and dissensions growing out of this con test, the Democratic party,in solemn convention assembled, ordered a new primary for the sake of party harmony and in order that there might be no dispute as to the right ful nominee.
 In the GRAPHIO's opinion party harmony and interest can be best subserved by ratifying the choice of the first primary, in order that an injustice may not be done to one who in good faith went before a Democratic primary and obtained it's nomination in an honorable way
 Mir. Edgar Brewster, candidate in the late primay, has established his right to be declared the nominee. His nomination was not obtained by fraud, but over all fraud and combi- nations. The May primary having been set aside and the contest or dered to be run over, he is again a candidate for the nomination. His qualifications and fitness for the office cannot be gainsaid. His claims are worthy of support,
 1st. Because he has never before held office, which cannot be said of either of his opponents, one of his opponents having held office for twelve years and the other for five,
 End. Because he obtained the nomination of the first primary and is therefore entitled to be the nomi- nee of the party.
 3rd. Because he is connected with no clique, clan or combination, but is fresh from the people.
 4th. Because he is an upright and honest man and has succeeded in unearthing unfair and fraudulent practices, which, if coDtinued, are calculated to disrupt the party and bring it into disrepute.
 9th. Because by his past servlces s as a deputy sheriff he is better qualified for the efficient discharge of the duties of the office than any of his opponents

The End.

The end of the hottest and in many respects the most remarkable political campaign ever known in Jefferson county is at hand, or at least we hope the end is here. Since the 7th of May the Democratic party has been rent with dissensIon and crimination and recrimination as result of the shameful frauds practiced in the primary held on that date. The and bitterness is at an end, unless there is an attempt made to re-enact the frauds of May 7th, which, we hope for the future of our party, may never again be attempted
 A new primary has been ordered, and let us hope that it will result in a reunited and harmonious party. Let lesson for the future be learn, ed from the past, pr else the fruits of the straight Democratic move ment carried to successful con- clusion tour years ago, will be lost

his county or country. Rotation in office is cardinal principle in the Democratic creed, and no Demo crat should complain if 1t is applied to his case when he seeks to violate it.
 As to MT. Brewster, be is pre- eminently qualified for the position to which he aspires and is more fa- miliar with the duties of the Sher- ifs office than any of his opponents, He was chief deputy under Sheriff Thompson an entire term, and un- der Sheriff Triplett a part of tern, and his qualifications ale universally recognized and ac- knowledged. It is also to be put down in his favor that he is not the candidate of any clique or clan, or the political legatee of any set of ffice-holders, city or county He is making the race solely on his merits, and these are pre-eminent. He is young man of ability, honor, energy and integrity, and if elected will make the county one of the best, if not the best, Sheriff it has ever had.
 The GRAPHIC commends him to the Democratic voters of Jefferson county as man pre.emi- nently deserving of their eonsidcra' tion and suffrage.

IT is very common, almost an every day occurrence to witness a runaway on our public thorough fares, imperiling the lives of our citizens and women and childreb. A case of this kind occurred Friday when the wife of a prominent citi- zen had narrow escape from run away delivery wagon. These run aways are frequently the result of horses being left unhitehed on the streets, against winch there is an ordinance, "more honored in the breach than in the observance. " Our city authorities should enforce this law, along with others that have been allowed to lapse. We have heard it remarked that if the Mayor and his Chief of Police would pay less attention to county politics and more to enforcing the laws of the city, that the lives of our eiti- Lens would be much more secure. We call the attention of the city authorities to this matter and hope it will be stopped before some se,i- ous accident occurs.

In every instance where fraud has been detected it has been at the ex- pense of Phill:pps and in favor of either Brewster or Mccoy. - Courier.
 Name single, solitary instance where Brewster committed or at tempted to commit a fraud All the fraud that was Lerpetrated was done to defeat Brewster, and all the fraud that has been discovered was unearthediby Brewster. Bro. Phil lips not being factor in the race, none of his conduct was investigat- ed, but considering the amount of money he spent in the campaign there is no telling what might have been discovered had the Search light of Truth" been turned upon him.

untrue, and a gratuitious rehec tion on Mr. Winters as well as Mir. Brewster. It was made by those who, like the scuttle fish, were endeavoring to blacken the waters around them in order to hide their own dirty work.
 Now let's see about that Melton ballot box. It was reported to have gone for Phillips. The vote for Mccoy and Brewster was small. Mir. Brewster up to the returns re ceiyed the Sunday morning after the primary, had a good plurality. It was not believed that the vote from the unreturned precincts could change the result if the ballot boxes were brought in as voted. If Mel ton township gave it's votes to Phillips, with an even break be- tween Brewster and Mccoy, it would result in Brewster's election.
 The Sunday morning after the primary it became evident that the Mccoy men were making a desper- ate effort to get the vote of Melton township. Monday the vote of Melton township was returned as being 39 for Mccoy, with small vote for Phillips, Brewster and Philpot.
 This return was known to be false, by both Mir. Phillipps and MT. Brewster. Then it was that Mr Brewster went to Melton township and secured the attidavits of the voters showing that the returns were false.
 The vote of Melton township was not needed by Brewster; it was needed by Mccoy. MT. Brewster had no ether interest in it thar 10 see that the vote of Melton town ship was returned as voted. It could do Phillips no good; If not transferred to Mccoy, it could do Brewster no harm. It was to pre- vent this transferrence of the vote to Mccoy that was the cause of Mr. Brewster's activity. Although it was done, Mir. Brewster showed by the afidayits of the voters that the returns were false
 It will therefore be seen that Mir. Brewster had ID other interest in the Melton ballot box than 10 see that it was correctly returned. Men do not spend money for nothing, and even had Mir. Brewster been so disposed, it is not reasonable 10 suppose that he would offer $100 to have the ballot box returned for him when he did not need the vote, and when, if it was returned as cast, it would still give him the nomination.
 We conclude as we began, that MT. Brewster was guilty of no fraud. He went into the contest in an honorable way and came out of it with clear conscience and clean hands.
 The affidavit of one of the discred- ited judges of Melton township is both lie and a islander.

IT is strange what changes in politics time brings about. Fcur years ago Mr. T. M. Phillips vigor ously opposed the straight Demo cratic ticket movement which de prived the Republicans of the circuit clerks and the Sheriff's office. To day MT. Phillips is a candidate for sheriff, an office that would rot have been within the gift of the Demo- cratic party had it not been for the success of the straight ticket, which Mr. Phillips opposed.

"Snowtlakp Tom" is pet name that fas been appIied in The present campaign to MT Tl0s. Nj Phillips, candidate for sheriff. For this characterization We are indebted to country cores pondent, and in the light of recent developments, where in he has been Haunted before the peopl, aa the only "ele4n man for sheriff, with white andimmaculate career, the characterization is es- pecially apr0pos.
 Our friends of the Courier have re- gently been engaged in writing nP Mr Phillips as II clean man for Sherif'." The conversion of the Courier to the support of Mr. Phil lips is SD sudden as to cause one to pause while he asks. wonder what has happened?"
 We lear that the suddenness of the action of our young friends has caused them to rush into print unin- formed ard unprepared. True. the Courier confesses that while Brew ster lacked only 64 votes of receiving as many votes as Met oy and Phillips put together in Vaugine township aud the city of Pine Bluff still it staken Slr. Phillips popularity on the il'ea that he received 399 votes outside of the city Only 399 votes out of total of twenty country precincts Is a bad showing, Bro. Courier. If you can't make q better showing than that, you had best not eEpose your weakness.
 But as we were say ing Phillips is the only clean man for sheriff = so sas the Courier. Wp have just remarked, that the Courier rushca in without due preparation as to dnta now we know it.

Mr, Phillips did not then claim the nomination. and does not now. In pursuance of Mir. Phil ips' and the committees direction. at great expense and trouble, Mir.

PHILLIPS is making another des- perate effort to get into the sheriff's race. But Phillips will not be in it at the last quarter The race is where It was before, between Brew ster and Mccoy Three days before the last primary, to listen to his men was to hear that Phillips was going to sweep the field, but when the returns came in he was third in he race, allowing him the vote re ceived but not counted for him in Melton township. Phillips is good three-quarter sprinter, but usually falls behind at the final mile post.

The Record.

When candidates aspire for office their personal and political record is common property. The people have a right to sit ia judgment up- on the record and character of those who aspire for office at their hands.
 In the present contest for Sheriff two of the aspirants have pregi- ously held office at the hands and expense of the people of Jefferson county.
 Mr. T. M. Phillips has been Treas urer of the county, estimated at having been worth at that time $2, 500 a year, or for two years $5, 900. He was also Assessor for three and one-half years, an office estimated as being worth g, GOO per annum.
 Maj. H. A. Mccoy has been County Treasurer for four years, Assessor four years and Circuit Clerk four years, a total of twelve years Tn office, with emoIuments es. timated as follows:
 years County Treasurer s10000,
 years Assessor 5000.
 4 years Circuit Clerk 100 0.
 Total s2sOO0.
 Mir. Edgar Brewster, the other candidate for Sheriff, has never held office, although in the May primaries he won the nomination, which was wrongfully taken from him by the joint influence and votes of his defeated opponents in a county convention.
 The political offices belong in this country to the people, and they should be justly distributed among the aspiring and worthy in order that there may be an equitable di vision of the emoluments arising therefrom among the people. 9th erwise there would be built up an office holding aristocracy and a pc litical oigarchy who would soon absorb the wealth of the country and seek to become the dictators of the people.
 
 This, we submit, is good Demo- cratic doctrine that has been hand ed down by Jefferson, Jackson and our Democratic forefathers, and no Democrat, long continued in office, has the right to complain fl it ap- plies to his case. Democratic doc Urine is not to be set aside for any man or set of men. No man is greater than his party, or has lead -plpe cinck to all the offices in
