EX-GOV. CLARKE DENIES.

Ex Gov Clarke denies that he spoke
direspectfully of Senator Jones when
the three Iowa gentlemen visited him
to solicit funds in the 1900 president
ial campaign, and also denies that he
said anything derogatory of the ticket
or platform, except that he thought
the nomination of a vice presidential
candidate should have gone to d
younger man. one representing new
elements of party strength. and he
concludes by saying, But when the
ticket was nominated my loyalty was
never the subject of dispute. State
ments to the contrary of what is here
given are knowingly and maliciously
false"
AS thv, Graphs printed affidayits OF
the Iowa gentleman concerning Mr.
Clarke, it also gives him the benefit
of his denial and the voters may

Judge for themselves as to whom they
believe to be speaking the truth.

In todays issue Of the Graphic Will
be found a card from Mr.. E. II. Plum
mer. in which he announces his With
drawal from the race for representa-
tive of jefferson county in the next
general assembly of Arkansas, as
signing as his reason therefor that he
can not lose the time to make the can
vass necessary, and to attend the ses'
sions of the legislature without sacrl-
fee to his business Mr.. Plummer
had pledges of support from many
friends and had he remained in the
race there would have been no doubt
as to his election. He would have
made capable legislator, as he is 4
gentleman whose qualifications con-
siderably excel those of the average
legislator. His friends regret that he
has decided to withdraw from the
race

NAILED TO THE CROSS
BY THE POLICE FOR JUMPING
BOARD BILL.
Freak Who Makes His Living as a
NerveIess Wonder Finally Gets

Harry Griffin, who claims to be one
of the strangest freaks in existence,
was arrested today on a charge OF de-
frauding board bill The officers
arrested him near the crossing. where
he had gone with the intention of
catching an outgoing train. Griffin
had intended giving show While
here, but something caused him to
change his Intentions Griffin has en-
tertained large crowds in Little Rock
and Memphis with his wonderful
feats and he claims that he is mys-
terry to all physicians. He claims to
be almost nerveless and his star act
is allowing himself to be nailed to i
CROSS
Both his feet and hands are nailed
to a cross, but his feet rest on solid
surface Griffin has actually perform
ed this act in Little Rock.
He was taken before Esquire Vance
for defrauding the proprietor of the
Fourth avenue hotel, and that judic
iary promptly fined him 500 and costs.
Things are looking mighty blue for
Harry and unless something now un-
forseen happens, he will probably dc
penance on John NJ. Gracie's farm.

THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF.

In a lengthy editorial exploiting
that faischood against Senator Jones
Confederate record, the Paragould
Soliphone says:
Answer these questions, ye Jones'
ties and we Jones organs, and ii the
senator ever did anything for tho
Southern Confederacy more than to
enlist at Pocahontas in July, 1861, we
want to be sighted. If the senator
ever did thing as Confederate
soldier to endear him to his compa
triots, we want to Know it. we want
to publish it.
How much more proof does the Sol
iphona desire? In fact could enough
proof be piled up refuting that SIAN
der against Senator Jones to convince
the Soliphone? Reputable citizens
who were comrades of Senator Jones
have positively stated that Senator
Jones enlisted in 1861 and served the
remainder OF the war They have
briefly recited the campaign of the
regiment in which Mr. Jones was en-
listed. These comrades of Senator
Jones can not be mistaken about a
matter of that kind, Plenty Of proof
has been produced. The newspapers
have been full of the very kind Of
proof the Soliphone is asking for
which makes it appear that it is not
at all sincere in its request for proof,
but IS endeavOring to create upon the
minds Of its readers that no proof has
been produced The Soliphone should
be fair, even though partisan 1t is an
injustice to Senator Jones and dis
creditable to the Soliphone.
