GOVERNOR DAVIS
 NEGRO APPOINTMENTS

Pine Bluff, Ark, March 13. - Gov. Jeff Davis, who is now can- wasting against Judge Wood, asking a third term as governor of Arkansas, is saying much about Woods appointment of negroes to office, and asserting that he has made no such ap- polntments, except where they were necessary by an exclusive negro population in a given ter ritory. Today Secretary of State John Crockett wired to Woods friends here:
 "W. H. Langford, G. E. Lytle and Ferd Havis appointed elec- tion commissioners for two years, July IT, 19O0."
 The three served as election commissioners in this (Jefferson) county, and were appointed by Jeff Davis, then attorney gen. eral. Ferd Havis is one of the most notorious negro Republicans in Arkansas, and his appoint ment ignored many good white Republicans here.

PATRIOT OR DEMAGOGUE.

>@N'S~" VI friendship for the great common people, of his sincerity to their cause and devotion to their inter- ests, of his struggles inltheir be- half against corporate greed and wealth, then Davis would rank among our patriots and be worthy Iof greater admiration than even his most trusting follower now offers at his shrine.
 If, on the other hand, this idol be a mere sham, a pretended friend of the people who would array the great mass against others who have been more for l tunate in business in order to maintain his political supremacy, who would make a wind-jamming tirade against trusts and railroads in order to appear the champion of the peoples interest, who would vaunt his tender-hearted- ness from the housetops and upon every stump while par doning criminals convicted by due process of law and by jury of their peers for all manner of heinous crimes, what else could be the duty of a newspaper than to expose such a demagogue?
 To you, who have maligned the newspapers of this state in their righteous campaign to unmask and lay bare the deception and insincerity of Governor Davis, do we speak. Would you have a press upon which to depend for your information and the dis semination of truth cringe before a demagogue of this type because he was prolific in his promises, bold in his trickery and able to fool majority of the people by his false pretensions of fidelity to their interests?
 Are the editors of Arkansas a lot of "squirrel-heads, as they have been derisively termed by the governor of our state, so narrow in intelligence as to be the subservient tools of what this monster calls Little Rock ring?" Upon whom are they de- pendent for their support? Those ring politicians" or upon the good substantial citizenship of their respective communities and counties? There can be but one answer. Would 1t not appear to be self interest to follow public opinion, even when it was wrong? !? And yet the newspapers of Ark ansas have not been guilty. They were quick to recognize the scheming rascality of a popular idol, and with a few exceptions, who have fallen victims to the snares of appointment to office, have made a valiant and we be- lieve successful campaign to show up the true character of one who has abused the confi- dence of his people.
 There is no halfway ground in considering the record and character of this man Davis. He is either the most wrongly abused man in political life or one of the worst types of dema- gogues who have ever played upon the prejudices of a people. He is either deserving of the highest calculation or the sever- est condemnation.
 In the light of what we know to be true by the most competent and reliable of testimony, there can be no shadow of doubt as to the hypocrisy of his pretensions. If not, he would have vindicated his good name by holding his accusers liable to the stringent laws against slander. For hun dreds of charges have been made reflecting upon his private char acter and official integrity, which violated such laws, were they not
