ate, put would nol ask you to vote against him on my account if 1 thought he was the best man for Governor If yon can consistently with your duty vote for Wood, I will regard it as favor to me. This is private letter and not for publication.
 Your friend,
 James H. Berry.
 The above correspondence, which is now being published in the Jeff Davis papers of Arkan- sas, (for what purpose perhaps, the Davis Satellites alone can tell) we take great pleasure in reproducing, for two reasons. First to show the ignominy and contcmptible conduct of one who would thus wantonly be- tray the confidence of one who supposed he was writing to a friend. Second. to show that Senator Berry, who has been honored by the people with the highest gift within their power and a man who Is in every way most worthy of such honors, deems 1t expedient and for the good of his native state and it's people, for Judge Wood to be elected Governor. Indeed, this is high endorsement and one that Judge Wood and his many friends over the State will hearti- ly appreciate.
 There Is more than one curious element connected with this cor respondence, which we will en- deavor to introduce to the read CT. Senator Berry was writing about Carroll county, and nev- CT, so much as had a word to say about Boone, but when his friend CD Porter indites his charming epis- tie to his majesty, Jeff, he talks altogether about Boone county and has not even a monosylable to say about Carroll county. Can it be possible that this fel- low, with conscience so callous as to betrav the secret confidence of high-toned, honorable gen. tleman. who claimed his friend ship, could still retain a spark of genuine manhood, and did not care to lie boldly and contend that Davis would carry Carroll county, and thus thought to evade the issue by switching off and writing about Boone coun- tv, a county that the Senator had not mentioned?
 Now, as to Senator Berry's part in this matter. Has he done any wrong? Born in Arkansas, reared and schooled amid it's scenes and glories. having tra- versed its mountains and val leys and drank inspiring draughts from it's pure fountains, mingled with it's people from high to low degree, been the recipient of their generous favors, fought on many bloody battle-felds and lost a limb i'll their defense, is 1t any wonder that he should deep 1 lv feel an interest in their wei fare and general good. Believ- ing that Carroll D. Wood is a better, safer, purer and far more acceptable man for Govern or than Jeff. Davis, what is more natural than that he should say SO, and so doing whom would he most likely say 1t to than to one whom he regarded as a true friend? The fact that his sup posed friend betrayed his conti- denee does not change the issue. His base betrayal of Senator Berry's confidence gives to the people the rich heritage of Sena- tor Berry's opinion of the rela- tive merits of the two candi- dates, which should be worth 1000 votes to Judge Wood in the State of Arkansas.
 Now, for moment let us refer to the part that Gov. Davis has played in this proceeding. The letter from Porter being person. ally to Davis it must have been L..

 Little Rock, Ark. Sir As 1 am interested in your election l write you few lines this morning. There are all man. ner of campaign lies being circu- lated against you; they are making a death struggle to beat you in Boone county but think you will carry the county over the head of every opposition. Judge Mitchell is working here against you, the excitement is running high up here, but you will carry it. 1 see you are opposed from the United States Senate, but your friends be- lieve that you will stand by your GUN. 1 received letter from James H. Berry,,a few days ago; 1 send you the letter, it may be worth something to you in the fu- ture.
 Hoping that you will carry this State with an overwhelming ma jority, l beg to remain,
 Yours very truly,

 C. Jan. Y, 1904. Jim Porter, Esq,
 Alpina, Ark. Dear friend :-
 am very much interested in Judge Wood carrying Carroll Co. for Governor and 1 am anxious to get your help and 1 thought the best way was to write you direct. You and 1 were both Confederate soldiers and for this reason 1 felt more at liberty to write you and know that you will not get mad at me for writing, whether you agree with me or not. There are two reasons why I want Judge Wood to carry Carroll county. One is. that I know both men we'll and know that Wood is better man than..D., and 1 know that 1t would be a great misfortune to the State and the Democratic party if Davis was nominated for a third term. Another reason is. that Davis is very much against me and has said again and again if he can carry
  Carroll county in this race, it will

 Now, for a moment let us refer to the part that Gov. Davis has played in this proceeding. The letter from Porter being person. ally to Davis it must have been him who furnished it to his or gans for publication. Most gen tlemen, and. perhaps all, with the exception of his august Ex- cellency, would have, on observ- ing that it was confidential and private letter, returned 1t to the writer, with the injunction that he had no moral right to invade the secrecy of a private message between supposed friends, even If he should believe that he would be the gainer by so doing. In fact no man with a high moral sense of justice and propriety would have for, "a single moment thought of using a let ter for any purpose, obtained in such a manner.
 The conduct of Davis i'll the premises is even more reprehensi- ble than that of Porter, for in the one case he is only a private
