A DELIBERATE THEFT,

A DEL1DfyhaI IL 1t1EE |,
 The news that Governor Davis had appointed Matheny to the of flee of representative to fill 6 va cancy that had not occurred, was no surprise to The Journal. We were expecting it.
 It Is well known fact that Ma theny had at his back the dirtiest clique of rotten political tricksters that ever manipulated an election in Arkansas. They were thorough ly organized, and there is no po- litical trickerY under the sun that is too low down for them to em- ploy.
 There is a strong suspicion that Matheny and Stroud were not hon. estly tied, but as those in charge of the election machinery were all Matheny's friends, it was an easy matter to arrange that.
 We want 1t distinctly under stood that The Journal is not talk ing up the fight in behalf of Stroud or any other man in preference to a democrat, but we believe in hon esty in all things, and that every man, regardless of position or pol. itics, should have his just rights; and 1t would be no worse to break into John Stroud's house and steal $500 i'll money from him than it is to steal the office of representative from him.
 Matheny and his organized band of political pilferers, of course, had things coming their way when they succeeded in getting Stroud and Matheny tied, and, as part of this aggregation of political scape- graces were the trusted henchmen and political serfs of Governor Davis, they immediately matched out plot to influence Davis to appoint Matheny. And in this connection it might be properly said that the propensity of the governor to meddle in local politi- cal affairs has been shown to be incorrigible. From the most inn port functions of the state to the most trivial affairs, the directing power has been the governor. Every superior must put in all subordinate places Davis men, and matters seem to be getting worse.
 There would have been absolute ly no expense involved in allow ing Stroud and Matheny to run the race over at the November election, but Matheny and his clique could plainly see the hand writing on the wall and knew that the only way to save him was to take matters into their own hands.
 If things drift along this way for few more years the self ap- pointed machine will probably just meet and dish out the offices entirely to their own notion.
 But the matter is now settled and we dismiss the subject from further consideration with the hope that Matheny will use half as much energy and perseverance in looking after the interests of the people as he has in stealing the office. And if he does this he will make the best representative the county ever had.
