ACard from MT. Greer.

1899. .-SPRiNGDALE NEWS: l see that you have me down as voting against consolidation, and Messrs. Williams and Humphreys for it. This Is in correct. I cast the same vote Messrs. Williams and Hum phreys did. It was on a vote to strike out the enacting clause which would, and did, kill the bill. 1 voted against this with Messrs. Williams and Humphreys, but I had stated that l would vote against con solidation. 1 know, SIT, that the people uf Washington County that IS majority, are in favor ot consolidation, but 1 know they do not understand the situation Tn the State. A majority of the people of Washington County are Demo crats. They elected me as q Democrat, I propose to repre- sent them. They did not elect me to vote for any part of the Republican platform, I hope. If they did they made a mis. take in their man and ought to have elected Mir. Campbell or MT. Thompson. Consolidation was and is a plank of the Re publican platform. It is not a State Democratic measure-no part of the platform-and 1 felt free to vote as a Democrat, and when this matter is under. stood l don't fear any con dempation.
 Please give this place in your paper and say further that l will always be found at my post and in the absence of instructions cast an honest Democratic vote on every ques tion. Yours truly,
 T. B. GREER.
 P. S. The Democrat here had me wrong. The Gazette had it right. 1 refer to the Journal.
 T. B. G.
 THE NEWS is glad to give space to what Mir. Greer has to say in explanation of hls vote on the consolidation of elections. We had no intention whatever of misrepresenting the matter and it seems from MT. Greer's letter that all three of our rep fesentatlves voted against con- solidatioD. We do not now re- member the paper from which we got our information, but supposed at the time it was correct. As Mr. Greer was present he, of course, gives the facts in the case.
 THE NEWS has no desire to enter into controversy with MT. Greer as to the merits or de merits of the bill to consolidate the elections in this state, but but as he says himself ma jority of the people of this county are Democrats and are in favor of this measure and as he brides himself on the fact that he was elected by them and proposes to represent them, it occurs to us that he could not have shown his de votion to their wants in a bet ter way than by voting for this measure. The editor of this paper is probably as loyal to tbe principles of Democracy as MT. Greer but we not believe | 8 good measure sh ould be re. jected simply because it is en- dorsed by Republicans. A number of Southern States have given consolidated elec- tions a trial and it has worked admirably, being a saving of time and money to the people, and We can See no good reason why Arkansas should not do
