 "Produce it." said the senator.
 Tt is ill my grip, will produce it at our next speaking,n said the willy gov ernor.
 Bring it cut now. You cannot do it," spiritedly retorted the senator.
 The audience went wild and almost split it's throats. Gov. Davis searched around in the papers before him on the table but could not find the paper. He called on boy standing near for his grip, (this "toy" was no other than John Page, editor of the Dardanelle Post-Dispatch, purchasing agent of the state under Davis, of whom he is a henchman.) He must have left his grip at the hotel and couldn't show the evidence.
 After this defeat Gov. Davis spoke of Senator Jones record, and the fact that people told him to refrain from speaking disrespecttully of man who was so respected by his colleagues, so admired and trusted by his constitu. ents, and so honored by the Democratic party and the leaders and people of the nation.
 In the course of his rer. arks the gov ernor made many statements which, if true. would be damaging to the sena. tor, but Senator Jones arose amid d perfect thunder of applause and in earnest, eloquent and emphatic Ian. guage refuted every damaging state ment the governor had made, and ac- cording to his own proposition put him out of the race for governor.
 Senator lJones said he was not in the fight between Davis and Rector and only intended to hurl back the islanders that Governor Davis had made. He did not wish to discuss the turning of the Red river through the state capitol and the shrewd detective work on tho convict farm, and he wondered why Governor Davis wa: not at Harrisburg, where Mir. Rector ! was speaking, and where he could dis cuss these questions together anc l where MT. Rector could discuss Cover ! nor Davis record.
 He referred to the case in whict Governor Davis pardoned the little boy and marveled how it was done anC why 1t was done. The name of tn, boy was not learned and yet the gover nor could not have made out the par don without this very important iEtor nation.
 He should not pardon any one with out exceptionally good cause whel twelve jurors and judge had passel on the case and pronounced him wor thy ot and deserving punishment. Tn, courts and judges of Arkansas wer humane, and no child could be con victed unless he had warranted pun ishment. The verdict of jury an, judge should not be lightly gone bs hind. It was not very reasonable t say that thirteen men were wrong.
 MT, Rector had asked the boys nam, and Gov. Dayis' memory had failed tt retain the name, Gov. Davis ever said that he had not asked what tn, boys name was, and yet he had t write 1t on the pardon. But he dil not wish to fight Gov Rector's battle: for him, and would drop the matter. Gov Davis and Gov. Clarke haC been two of the sixteen delegates from Arkansas to the national Democratic convention at Kansas City and they had not accused him of being traitor then. As chairman of the committee Of titty-one to draft the platform the delegates did not seem to think that he was villain and traitor. The ap. plause that greeted the platform when It was read did not accuse him. Coy ernor Davis and Governor Clarke had both participated in the cheering that AN0 va e'ot ONIGololl. 0ONtlUUL Davis was behind Governor Clarke then because Governor Clarke was be- hind the platform over the drawing of which Senator Jones presided.
 Senator Jones received an ovation: the voters yelled, and the ladies arose in their seats and waved their hand kerchiefs. Gov. Davis was liberally applauded by few enthusiasts, but the ladies made only slight demon stration by clapping their hands They did not feel called upon to applaud his vulgarity. aBd their bushes made them timid about applauding his wit.
 Near the conclusion the governor begged to be excused. stating that be was sick, and wanted to catch a train
 which wasn't due for half an hour. ! The senator asked him to remain a little while longer, and he would make him more sick. Gov. Davis asked for division of time at Senator Jones'
