WHY WE OPPOSE HIM.

The RECORD has at different
times advanced reasons for its
Iopposition to Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis. 1t is neither money nor
honor to us to attack this man,
but it is a duty this paper owes
the public to give its candid
oninion of him, and it is a pleas
ure to state that opinion in un-
mistakable terms.
We opposed him in his candi-
dacy for governor because we
did not believe him sincere in
his advocacy of certain things,
and because we knew he was
making use of the dirtiest, low
est-down sort of demagogic
methods to reach the1' desired
goal. If it had occurred to US,
as it evidently appeared to many
others. that Jeff Davis was hon.
est in his TRADE against the trusts
and honest in his clamorings for
other reforms sheswould have re-
ceivod our hearty support, but
we did not SO believe, and since
he has held office a.. reasonable
time we are sure a majority OF
people can see that they were
buncoed, and to add more, dis
graced. His declaration that he
cannot fulfil his pledges made to
the people Ex-senator Jones is re-
elected shows Gov. Davis to be
demagogue and unscrupulous
politician. His letter to parties
who had absolutely no jurisdic-
ton over the matter asking that
a special session of the grand
jury be empaneled tonindict ed
tor Kendrick of Fort Smith for
alleged libel shows Gov. Davis to
be q crank and a shyster lawyer.
His threat to take his shotgun
and shoot editor Kendrick shows
Gov. Davis to be an anarchist be-
cause he threatens to tear down
the laws he is sworn to uphold,
and a knave because he would
suppress free speech. His con-
tinued charges against Senator
Jones which have been proven
false show Gov. Davis to be a
falsifier and man with an utter
disregard for the truth, His in
excusable interference in the
Jones-Clarke oontest;shows Gov.
Davis to be void of sound judg-
ment and unworthy Of the conf
dence Of the people.
The editor of this paper be-
lieves Gov. Jefferson Davis to be
everything stated above, and
therefore could not'support him
for office with a clear conscience.
We believe it was a sad day for
Arkansas when Jeff Davis was
elevated to any degree of power,
and this paper intends to stand
by its guns, come what may, un-
til right again prevails and this
blatant demagogue is buried be-
meath the righteous Indignation
of the good people Of the good
state Of Arkansas.
