reason why q foil vote should be had
For years past, the seat OF this Dis
trict has been contested by some
Republican capdid4te, usually, a
colored man. This year they have
nominated a negro preacher, who
seems to be making more active
canvass than was made two years
ago by the negro D.ntz|er. What
his total vo'e Will be. or whether he
will have the united support OF his
party, I am unable to say, yet the
very fact that he is candidate, con.
vipces me- that he will institute the
old contest which has given go much
worry to myself ard Eay predecessors.
In the former contest [ vas greatly
handicapped by the fact that only q
small vote was polled 10 the District,
and it is to the interest OF every
Democrat, and bis solemn duty and
the discharge CT bis solemn oath to
support the per sons named in ths
primary, that the full vote Of the
District be given on the 8:h. It will
greatly strengthen oor case before
the committee which may be hostile
A close House makes the contest all
the more dangerous. I, therefore,
sincerely and strongly urge that
every man qualified 10 vote under
our Constitution, go to the polls aud
do 80. No more dangerous condition
can possibly overtske q citizenship
in government pillared upon the
vigilance and intelligence of it's peo-
pie than that of lethargy and core
lessness in the exercise Of the right
of suffrage, or inattention to their
civic duties. May there be no cause
for complaint in this District. For
the information of those who may
have possibly overlooked it, I give
the language of the Constitution re-
lative to the qualification Of voters
in this STATE: "ArY person who
shall apply for registration after
January lst, 1895, II otherwise quail
flied. shall be Registered: Provided,
That be eau both read and write any
section of this ,nstisu:icn submitted
to him by the registration officer or
can show that he owns and has paid
all taxes colIectsble during the pre-
vious year on property in this State
assessej at three hundred (3300) or
more" You should take both your
registration certificate and tax re-
ceipt. With the hope that ererv
man will do his duty on the S:h, I
beg to subscribe myself.
Very truly, A F. Lever,
D.m. Nominee for Congress.

a Timely Warning.
To the Democratic Voters o. the 7,h
Congressional Distrlc':


To the Democratic Voters OF the 7sh
Congressional District:
o. Tuesday Nov 8sb, the people OF
this country will be called upon to
decide what shall be the policy OF this
Government for the next four years,
whether it sball be administered by
the party which hHs been IN power
for decade. or by the party OF JET
ferson, represented in the person of
Judge Parker.
An election at sny time is matter
of great importance to the people, for
iu republican form Of government,
deriving it's powers from the people,
each individual ia sovereign in him
self, and the final referee of every
National. State snd Local controversy.
To the people of the South this
election ia Of the most vital impor-
tsuce. Guided either By an ideslist,
or man wrapped up in his OVID am
bitson. the Republican Party threat
ems the reduction of Southern
Representation in Congress, and
would destroy white supremacy, if
the danger of such action was not so
great. I quote plank from the plat
form of the Republican, Party. I'VE
favor such congressional action as
shall determine whether by special
Determinations, the elective franchise
in any State has been unconstitution-
ally limited, and if such is the case,
we demaud that representation in
Congress and the electoral college
shall be proportlonally reduced as
directed BY the Constitution Of the
United States This plank is a
declaration ct the purpose of the
Republican Party, if it is successful
at the polls on November the 9:h.
Republican CongressmeD and
Senators have from time to time in
the past, introduced bills looking to
the accomplishment of this end, but
not until now, if my memory serves
me right, has the party, as such in
convention assembled, pledged itself
IN this direction They justify the
adoption Of this plank in their plat.
form on the ground that Southern
States, through the adoption OF suf-
frage clauses 10 their Constitution,
have abridged the right of the negro
to vote in violation of the 14th and
18th amendments of the National
Go, ssitution, and they propose to
punish Us for what we have a con-
stitutional right to do.
Force is given to their claim on
account of the very small vote cast
in the Southern States in the gen.
eral elections. Congressional Dis
tricts which should csst twenty or
thirty thousand votes, frequently
cast no more than four or five thous-
and. It Is asserted that such a vote
is not representative of the will of
the people 10 such districts: either
that, or thas our suffrage provisions
deny the right OF sufftage to the
majority of the people Of the District.
Hence This demand for reduction
in our Representation
To the Democrats of this C)n-
eressional District, there is an ad-
drsional and perhaps stronger

 Prior to taking up the Bustamante case, the court passed on the pleas entered by Brick Spence and Henry Job, of petit larceny and refused to accept the misdemeanor plea, the in- 'iictment being for burglary, felony offense.

It was Governor Murphy's Asst trip over the road and as this is Mrs Murphy's first visit to this section it was of course her first visit over the road and proved a revelation to her in railroad building as it does to every customer.

District Court Notes.

Yesterday was busy day in the dis trict and quite good amount of busi- ness was transacted.
 One of the most important cases be- fore the court was that of Florence Hicklin charged with complicity with her brot'I9r in killing the of Jud Null limo at iron King last May. On mo- tion of the district attorney the case was dismissed and her bond exonera- ted. This action was taken on the part of the district attorney for the reason that one of the Marksbury girls, who was ore of the principal witnesses in the case, died about a month ago, and another important witness has left the country and his whereabouts are unknown.
 The case of the territory against T. c. Archer was continued for the term.
 The action of the $. F. P. & P. rail road company against the German American Insurance company was dis missed as per stipulation on file.
 A jury was impanneled to try the grand larceny case against Hank Fields and Charles King. and one wit ness was examined when defendants attorney demurred to the testimony when the court ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal by reason of the variance between the in- dictment and proof and the ease will be submitted to the grand jury.
 A demurrer in the case of P. Eek berg vs Arizona Groom Creek Gold Mining company was overruled and the case set for trial December 18th.
 The divorce case of Rosa Reiman vs Chris Reiman was placed on the cal endar.
 = An action by Lon D. Hall against the Arizona Groom Creek gold mining company was placed on the calendar and default entered.
 The trial of Bustamante, the slayer of Justice Reynolds at Grown King, occupied the greater part of the time of the district court yesterday.
 The forenoon session was occupied in impending jury, the following persons being sworn about noon to re- turn verdict in accordance with the law and evidence: J. D. Glenn, J. J. Davis, D. D. Draper, A. E. Black burn, J. s. Atkin, W. J. Gsston, Ar chic Middleton, Erwin Baer, l.. E. Robbins, James l.. Wright, Walter Codington and A. B. Noxon.

That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's
 Emulsion a S h ort time ago. As a rule we don't
 use or refer to testimonials
 in addressing the public,
 but the above remark and S similar expressions are made so often in connec- ton with Scott'S S Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional not e. From infancy to old age SCott's
 Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying irl- proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The a c t i o n of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the of the Emul- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- ment-the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be ob- tained in ordinary food. No system. is too weak or delicate to retain Scott'S Emulsion and gather good from 1t.

Gratis i'm Old Missouri.

For originality of thought and action
there are few spots on earth that can
equal Old Missouri. The latest move
of the citizens OF the southern part of
that state is explained in the follow
ing dispatch from ST. Louis, under
date of November %, which will tickle
the fancy of democrats whether they
be from Missouri or Maine:
because Missouri went republican,
nearly 200 farmers of the southeastern
part of the state have signed a petition
asking the legislature to allow the
county to be transferred to Arkansas.
1T was not until last Saturday that
the citizsns of the interior of the county
learned that the state had gone for
Roosevelt. Immediately James Graf
stree, Geb Turner and S. p. Williams,
farmers near Hornersville, had the pc
tition drawn.
''The paper states that since Mis-
souri, had gone republican, respectable
men could not acknowledge citizenship
in the state without shame.
s'Pettions have been started in
Pemiscott and Dunk1in counties, and
the two counties, it is stated, will make
a joint move for transfer.''
