hours Of his visit to Little Rock on the
FoHllh or July. Upon his arrival he
knew perfectly we'll thar he owned II
bank, aud his acquaintance with prom

ed immediately TO the office of one Of
these acquaintance. Not finding the
friend at home our citizen proceeded to
make himself at home by removing his
coat and vest, placing his feet uron the
desk, and taking nap. When he awoke
he became aware that he was surround
ed by a party Of strangers, and being
somewhat embarrassed he apologised
and started TO take his departure. But
stalwart fellow laid a hand upon him
and informed him that he was under
arrest, and that his trial would come
off y immediately. This paralysed him
with tear. He couldn't think Of what
he might have done while under other
influences, and WAS mighty badly scar

With Bryan rs the unanimous
choice of the united democracy,
and Stevenson, who, while not the
unanimous choice, is, nevertheless,
entirely satisfactory to all concern
ed, the party has nothing to do
but go to the polls and vote,
and see that all vote, and victory
is ours. Mr.. Stevenson is q tower
OF strength. He is Il dem ocrat
after our own heart, and knows a
republican every time he meets
him in an Office that ought to be
filled by a democrat. For this
THE TIMES admires him-for his
thoroughness both in principle
and practice, and next to Arkan.
sas, we would rather Illinois, our
native state, should furnish the
vice president than any other. If
Bryan and Stevenson are elected
no democrat will have cause to re-
greet It. They are the embodiment
of every precept and principle of
Jefersonian democracy. We hope
the rank and file in ST. Francis
county will poll their full strength.

Those who think they can do the IN

some excuse for past vacillation. IL
must be remembered that party men
were confronted by entirely new con.
ditionS; they were called upon to AS
sert their belief III their principles or
their fidelity to the party: and many
OF them did not know which had the
stronger claim upon them. All that
Is over now. In four years a man
ought tn know what tn do, especially
as no new problem has been presented
in that time. l%nexperience is no
longer any excuse for detection from
party. and W. will he much mistaken

those who have run in the party prjm.

1.-THE wise girl" says the Herald,
''sets her cap for the country boy" 1t
continues: ''True, he wears overalls
and has brown hands and his feet are
in his way when he walks. But he is
worth a dozen Of the town dudes, with
their white fingers and high collars
and unpaid laundry bills. And take a
country boy who will stay in the
country. He is a free man. The town
boy is "A slave. He works all his life
at "a meager salary and spends that in
ways not always conimendable."
