The Conway log cabin., 1900-09-11

- ~~~@- by i'll ost of the Democratic papers of ab- -lity and standing i'll the state. Whether his plt1ralitytsis 75,ooo or only .35, 900, it is discredit to the state and will injure 1t. Discreet Democrats will be apt to regret this victory as much as the Repub- licans do.
 The Republicans had all excel lent candidate, who was better able to meet the duties of the office to which he aspired than was his an tagonist. Most of the leading Democratic papers of the state wifi tually conceded this during the
 canvass. The platform on which
 the Republican candidate stood ap- pealed to all the conservative ele- ments of the state. Sound money sentiment is growing in Arkansas
 as iii every other section of the
 country. Expansion is more pop
 ular in Arkansas than contraction.
 The Republicans had the stronger
 side and the more acceptable can didate, but the Democratic habit had become so chronic i'll Arkan- sas that 1t can not be ela1icated
 except through long course of education.
 Ever since the reconstruction shake-up Arkansas has been a Democratic state, Bad candidates as we'll as good, when on the Dem ocratic ticket, have secured ma jofity of its votes. Many men of
 the highest character and ability
 have been nominated by the Re- publicans ill the past third of a
 century in Arkansas, but all have
 been beaten, and i'll most cases by
 men far their inferior in ability and general fitness. This is the worst l possible soft of an advertisement which state can get i'll the out side world. A victory for the Re. publican ticket this year would have been worth tens of millions Iof dollars to that state before
 the term of the Republican Governor closed in the increased
 number of settlers and the enlarged
 amounts of capital which 1t would
 have attracted from the rest of the country. The Democratic habit, when contracted with the virulence and the persistency with which it
 rages i'll Arkansas, is humiliating and disastrous to the community
 which it afflicts. y
 For vituperatioil, abuse and vile islander the Globe-Democrat is i'll the lead. For falsehood and delib- crate insult to people 1t IS un- equaled For ignorance and mis- representation of facts 1t challenges the republican press. It either
 willfully insults the whole Demo- cratic party of the state, or its edi- tor does not know either Auten or
 Remmel. He certainly never
 read Auten's Annieville speech | nor Remmels famous Conway speech. Nor has he probably
 seen the letter from the great Con-
 federate chieftain, Jeff Davis, with
 which he attempted to fool the old
 Confederates into casting then
 votes for him.
 l Remmel asserted and the Globe
 Democrat repeats that the election
 of republican to the office of gov
 ernor would be worth millions of dollars to the state It would have
 probably been worth millions to
 Richard McCurdy, Remmel & Go. We have tried these fellows.
 When the people gave them a chance ill 1874 they stole every thing in sight. They did the same thing in Missouri and the people of that state do not trust the words of the Globe Democrat. Remmel is an awful nice man and very pleasant gentleman.
 He can afford to be. He has ev- erything coming his way, except getting elected governor. He has a fine job managing the business of the Mutual Life Ins. O., in Arkansas for Richard McCurdy,
 besides he is the Internal Revenue Collector for Arkansas under Nc
 Kinley. Just because we refuse to let these fellows have every cent we have they pretend the state is going to the devil. Well, just let her go, we had about as soon be there as in the hands of the repub lican party.
