Judge w. s. Mccain broachea tho
question II holding a state convention
of Wood clubs and offered the follow
ing resolution in order to test the sense
of the club
Resolved, That the benefits that
would probably accrue from a state
convention OF Wood clubs would not
be sufficient TO justify the expense
which such a convention Ould entail
The subject was discussed at some
lenth. Judge CcCain doubted the ne
cessity and wisdom Of such a conven-
ton, Hon. II. NJ. Armistead said the
idea had originated with Hon. Carroll
Armstrong of Morrilton. Hon c. S.
Collins moved thai the matter be re-
ferred to the executive committee with
power to act The motion prevailed.
Col. Sam M. Taylor of Pine Bluff was
introduced and addressed the club He
was received with great applause. Ced.
Taylor sustained his reputation as an
eloquent speaker. He could not under
stand how any thoughtful man could
favor continuing Governor Davis in Of
fee in the light of the transactions dis
closed against him. Col. Taylor EN-
phasized the 81 900 loan secured by the
'"erEOr at Newport as new reason
against re-electing the governor es-
reeally in view of the Simmons en-
dorsements on the note. Col Taylor
aroused enthusiasm by declaring that
Jeff Davis had No more chancee than
a ghost of carrying Jefferson county.

written in shame. Not one wcrd had
come from him expressive of the sor-
death of General John b. GordCn al
though other southern governors Is

people are not opposing Governor Da-
Wis because they desire to confer
personal favor upon Judge Wood, but
because they have the welfare of the

termer (would-be) Governor Davis
should not be reelected fcr a number
of reasons, said Col. Taylor, among
thfnn being his opposition to the new
state capitol, his attitude in the state
convict farm matter, his call for the
resignation of Ex-Governor Eagle as
capitol e,mmi siener. his abuse of the
courts, his exercise of the pardOning
power and his attempt to throttle the
will of the people in the case of Jus
tice b. b. Battle at the last Democratic
state convention. Col Taylor elicitetl
applause when he expressed the belief
that Governor Davis was on his last
legs politically. Many were deserving

ly 10 years older, owing to full black

His present appearance cannot be
considered either for or against him,
although he makes good impression
on strangers through his ability as a
fluent talker He came to Poultney
from Batavia, n. Y, where he claims
to have wife and child, about two
months ago. He purported to be a
chemist and had done a little work
since his arrival there in laying side
walks
Saulsbu ry said he had until few
months ago been in the army service
in the Phil ppines. He has hobby
for firearms and in his room at Poult-
ney the officers found eight guns of
different makes and calibers, with
thousands of cartridges.
A search of his room brought to
light about $40 worth of counterfeits,
broken dies and other utensils, said to
have been used in his counterfeit work.
The officers are of the opinion that he
was not member of any gang, but
was doing the business on his own
hook. 1t is claimed that he has pass.

the most of it at Poultney and some at

sources for tidings of the devoted gar
rison. A late report says that Lieuten.
ant General Stoessel, commander OF
the Russian troops at Port Arthur, is
reported to be wounded in the leg.
A special from Chefu says that the
doom Of Port Arthur is beyond ques.
ton. Its fall is simply awaiting the
convenience of the Japanese army.
The information, the reliability of
which cannot be questioned, has been
received that the Japanese now occu.
py positions which place the east side
of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main forts whenever they are
ready.
1t is calculated by the Japanese that
If the Russians do not surrender the
latter will be capable of continuing
their final stand at Liaotai mountain
and on the Tigers Tail for much
longer time, with the mere hope of
prolonging the struggle. Long before
the second Pacific squadron arrives
the Japanese flag will wave over the
wrecked citadel.
This will end viceroy Alexeieff's
dream Of an unconquerable city.
The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and the highest point Of
the east hills but they occupy in over
whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the japanese occupy the east
port ridge they will completely domi.
nate the other Russian forts with
their artillery.
