FOR DONAGHEY. Ben L. Griffin Says He Will Be the Next Governor.

George W. Donaghey will get the Democratic nomination for govern or next March as sure as he lives, un- til the time rolls round, said Ben L. Griffin last night when interviewed by a Gazette reporter. understand me to say this on my own responsibility without reference to membership in my church, lodge or any other organi- ration that am member of.
 "l think Mr. Donaghey should be nominated for the following reasons: He is good business man and not polticial He has no alliance with any of the factions recently developed in the ranks of the Democratic party He is fine executor and has been successful in all of his private affairs. He is progressive and would advance the states material interests more than probably any other available Democrat in Arkansas 10 day.
 Those who know MT. Donaghey pest are his strongest friends and supporters. Men like Captain w. W. Martin, Jo Frauenthal. c. w. Bruce ahd hundreds Of others in Faulkner county who have lived right along by the side of him for over 30 years, are now enthusiastic for his cause. In fact. if there is single citizen in his whole county against him, l have not heard of him.
 "Mr. Donaghey is liberal in both his opinions and his dealings with men, he loves his home. his people and his state. He is always a large contributor of his personal efforts or private means for the upbuilding of his town or state, and he is ever ready 10 contribute to the help of the poor.
 1 "As citizen ;nl a Democrat, expect to do for him in the race for governor. all that can. In doing this | shall consider that am rendering l my state the best service that lies within my power. And sincerely hope that every friend of mine will take the same view that do in sup porting MT. Donaghey for governor. It matters not to me whether this friend of mine be a railroad worker, 2 merchant or member of the Farm CTS Union. think that he ought to express his honest convictions for the officers who have the management of the affairs of the people.

Another Letter from Indi-
 ana.
Dear ARGUS Readers.

Dear ARGUS Readers;-
 This is now nearing month away from home for me and I'm getting anxious. awfully anxious, to be back il "dear old Brlnkley" and am hop iny to be there now in few days.
 When We first decided to come here. expected that we would be here only ten days. which is generally the extent of treatment course, but some times and with some people it takes longer for Pluto 10 take hold and do its work.
 | have seen some strange things since came here. among them was a match game of ball between the Faench Lick and West Baden Clubs. You are wondering what was strange about this-the opposing teams were of opposite colors,-it was the West Baden whites against the French Lick blacks, with BLACK for an um- pire. Imagine the thing if you canl Now, how does that strike you1 Ii was something never saw before. The negroes beat the whites; and su h growing. railing and roofing never saw at a ball game. asked some of the men sitting near me if it wasn { a little out of the ordinary for the white people to play with the negroes and was told in reply that it was a common oecurance. Guess it must be, as | have seen several advertised since that time
 Anot ther strange thing-very strange 10 me-is the gambling craze cropping out in the average visitor at the Springs. In the leading hotels-The French Lick. The Wells and the Brown-cigar and news stands are operated and in our own place nice appearing young woman presides. At the stand. novelties. chinaware. fine candy, etc, are sold and the young lady. in her pleasant and accomodat- ing way, shows me the pretty hand painted china, prices it 10 me and offers me an opportunity to shoot dice fer it. If this does not appeal 10 the average man, possibly it will 10 tte woman. Or perhaps she will prefer shot with the dice at a fine box oi candy Saw fine young woman walk up to the counter the other night and picking up the box rolled the dice with the other young lady and wor her box of candy. Then a gentle man walks up and his winnings run uI in the dollars. So the seed ot gambling IS soWn and that 100 oy . young woman whose character is saic D be good by those who know her Down iiEna cid cid Arkansas, this young woman would be indicted and fined as a common criminal for violation of our gambling laws which are prac- tically the same as they are in Indi- ana. This lack of moral sentiment Is probably due largely to the seed sown by the rough. gambling. black legs who 50 long held full sway in this place. They have closed down or em now. however, and the time will soon come when the young women and young men who stand at these hotel cigar stands will be taught by criminal courts the lessons which their parents have so woefully neg lected to give them,
 just finished reading the above 10 the young lady referred to; and with a flushed face she said. "if didn't do this somebody else would.

Acquitted.

In the Republican of Saturday the
18th appears an article with the head
line "Nolle Prosequi in charge eff Muir
der" Then follows the statement that
deputy District Attorney Benson enters
the order in the case when he found the
evidence insufficient to convict the Ne
gro William White who was on trial.
The entire article is misleading and
evidently written for that purpose, as
well as to boost and glorify the prose-
cutting attorney and give him cridit for
a result that does not belong to him. He
is held up as so just and generous that
he could not permit the trial to proceed
"when he had all his case in" Not one
word is said about the defense or the
attorney who conducted it to success
full issue. Mr.. Benson's case was practi-
cally all in at the coroner's inquest which
he conducted. 1t was stronger then
than it ever was after that proceeding
because the testimony was all ex parte.
Yet the verdict of the coroner's jury was
that johnson, the deceased, was killed
by parties or party unknown.
The trial in the West Side criminal
court consumed nearly two full days
and was strenuously and stubbornly
contested at every stage by Lawyer
Joseph FL. Stuart, who represented the
defendant by appointment of court.
Not stone was left unturned by the
prosecution, not resource in fact or in
law that seemed to promise success un-
tried. But Mr.. Stuart was ready, alert
and foiled and defeated the prosecution
at every point. The trial proceeded to
the end, the court delivered his instruc-
tions to the jury and nothing further re-
manned to complete the case but the ar
gument of counsel and the verdict of the
jury. This last act the prosecuting at
torney, after recess of two hours, pre-
vented by asking that nolle prosequi
be entered. 1t was a motion unheard of
at such stage of the case, and was re-
sisted by defendants counsel, who ask
ed the court that the jury be ordered to
return a verdict of acquittal, which was
seen to be inevitable. But the other
order which was granted kind of saved
the face of the prosecution. Mr.. Stuart
said the effect was the same and it was
merely the difference between =. tweedle-
dunn and tweedledee.
