convention. they went out from
us and organized the opposing
body. Now they make themselves
responsible for the continued divi.
sion, and whatever strife may re.
suit from il, by refusing TO abide
by their own agreement, SO that
no action that this convention
cOnld take would make present
union possible. Therefore we
recommend the adoption Of the
folio wing resolutions:
First. That we invite all the
Baptists of Arkansas to cooperate
with us on the old-lime Baptist
principles aud practices of coop
Grafton for which the convention
has always stood, which are iden.
teal with those prevailing in all
the district associations all over
the land, aud in other state orgauiz.
atons-those principl les and
practices under the operation Of
which God has so abundantly
blessed rs in the years gone by.
Second. That, while we regret
the departure of any of our breth.
rem from this convention and its
work, still we recognize their right
to work upon any plan they may
seem best TO them, aud shall pray
the blessings of GOd upon any
good that may be done by any
who may not see fit to cooperate
with us.
Third. That the Baptist AID.
vance, and the Landmark Baptist
be requested to give this paper
immediate publication, and that
the Recording Secretaries furnish
a copy 10 the daily aud weekly
papers of the state, and request
thai they also publish 1t.

Report Of the Arkansas Baptist Coz &.
yentiOn.

To The Editor:
The undersigned Recording
Secretaries of the Arkansas Bap.
tist State Convention were in.
structed by said convention to
furnish copies of the following
amendment" to the "Peace Com-
mitlee's Report" to the press of
the state:
The General ssociati0n agreed
to the six propositions AS accepted
by us including these two condi.
tons; First, the immediate dis.
solution of the General AssOca.
ton, and, Second, the merging of
the two papers upon the adoption
by this convention of the six
propositions. But the General
Association afterwards made II
impossible for it to comply with
the first of these conditions, for in
plain violation of its agreement TO
dissolve AS soon as the convention
should adopt the six propositions,
il voted to continue its organiza.
ton another year anyway, and
instructed its executive committee
to continue its work as hereto.
fore.
The Editors of the Landmark
Baptist have declared that they
will not stand by the agreement
to merge the papers unless they
are allowed to interpret the six
propositions, to mean what they
do not ut all say, thus injecting
Other conditions than those agreed
to. They say in the Landmark
Baptist" that the only interpreta.
ton OF the six propositions which
they will tolerate for one mo.
ment" is one that means, (D The
adoption by the convention ofthe
principles Of the General Associa.
tion," ~ "The surrender by the
convention Of all things peculiar
to the organized work." and (3)
"lhe withdrawal by this conyen.
ton of all cooperation with the
Southern Baptist Convention"
The correspondence between
the committees viii show that this
committee has never agreed, aud
could never agree, TO the adoption
"0f the principles of the General
Association some of which are
manliestly uuscriptural, nor to the
surrender Of "all things peculiar
to the organized work" The cor
respondence also shows that they
agreed to our acceptance Of these
propositions with our avowed ~ d
plainly expressed intention OF
continuing IN cooperation with
the Southern Baptist Convention

sueclM Washington n. C., Correspondence.
1t is generally conceded that the
democrats must carry the states Of New
York aud New Jersey in the next presi-
dental election IN order TO win. Conced-
ing that those two states are absolutely
n cessary for Democratic success next
Year. It may be interesting for the demo-
Gratis Of the country to know the kind
OF democracy that must control in the
s'ate of New Jersey next year II We
would win that state.
An illustration drawn from the last
Congressional election in thst state last
wear will suffice to give them tins In
formation. In one Of the congressional
districts that was democratic the demo
Gratis nominated man named DE- Witt
Clinton Flanagan, n man OF wealth
refinement, culture aud social diStiuc
ton. He represented only those things
that republicans like and of which they
are not afraid He MAS Endorsed by
Grover Cleveland who lives in his
district, aud who made II speach for
him, the frat be had made since his re-
tirement tg0m the presidency Notwith-
standing all this and the further fact
that Mr.. Flanagan spent large sums OF
money, he was defeated
On the other hand, In another district
that WAS normally republican by about
4 900 majority, and in which the re-
publicaps nominated the millionaire
thread manufacturer, Barbour, and in
which the democratic nomination went
begging, the democrats won splendid
victory After the nomination in this
district had been declined by number
of democrats, a young democrat named
William Hughes, lawyer without
money, but with character apd brains
and real democracy, accepted the
nomination as matter OF party homer.
He announced from the beginning of
the campaign that he bad no money
with which to buy votes, and said he
did not want a vote that had to be pur-
chased. He also said that If he were
elected IL would mean a real democratic
triumph and slap in the face OF
monopoly and trust domination and the
rule of the predatory rich He roundly
denounced all those things from start
to finish of the campaign and the result
was that he was elected by the honest
men of the district by 3 900 majority, II
change of s, 900 votes in the district
That should teach the democrats OF
the country that If they hope to carry
the state of New Jersey in the next
presidential election they must nominate
a man for president who stands for the
things and the kind OF democracy that
''Billy Hughes stands for or they may
as well hang their harp on willow

mentioned for the nomination on the
democratic ticket will discover to the
