1t is quite likely that there will be d contest in the 7th Con gressional District Mir. Good win claims that he received a majority of the primary election votes over Mir. Wallace, while the Chairman of the Central Committee. arbitrarily, gave the certificate of nomination to Wallace.
 The proposition IS unanswer- able that If Goodwin received more votes in the primary than did Wallace, that he, Goodwin, is the nominee of his party, any ruling that the Chairman might make to the contrary, notwith- standing. And, what is equally as apparent to all honorable men. that Mir. Wallace should lend helping hand in the mat ter of ascertaining who did, in reality, receive the most votes in said primary election. Any man who has been honored as has been Mir. Wallace, by the voters of his District, cannot afford to profit, politically, or other wise, by questionable tricks. It is an easy enough matter to ascer- tain who was selected by the people as their nominee, and whoever was, whether Good win or Wallace. should now be made plain, not only for the ben eft of the nominee. himself. but for the good and safety of the Democracy in that District.
 Holding the eertificte of cleo tion as Wallace now does is a reflection upon his political in- tegri:y which he should hasten to remove by demanding an open, fair and full investigation of the whole matter.

There are three or four things that The Monticellonian has never been successfully accused of; and among them, being par ticularly partial to Jeff.

Heis one of the United States Senators from Arkansas, elected by the Legis lature, after an oyerw helming endorsement from the people, and is entitled to a just consid- eration which that exalted DO sition accords. Because he saw fit to come into Arkansas and make a fight for his friend, kir- by, for Governor, and failed, a lot of pepper-corn politicians want him defeated as one of the delegates from the state-at-large, to the National Convention. And, what IS the most disgust ing part of this feature, to us. Is, that if Davis had succeeded, and Kirby had been elected, these same small fry" would have been running over each other and scrambling fota seat III the Davis band-wagom Sen ator Davis is a Democrat, and at all times and under all cir cunstances has responded to his partv's call and worked for it's success to the best of his abil- ity. and what man could do more?

The Dardanelle Post Dispatch says: When our farmers have learned the absolute necessity of raising their corn and meat on the farm, then will they have won a victory more beneficial and far reaching than would be that Of securing 15 cents for cot ton"

According 10 our view and construction of the act passed by the last legislature providing for the cleo ton ui q County Su- perintendent of the Public Schools, there can be no election of such officer at the coming State election. and no vote on the question at the May school elections. The first section of the Bill. after providing for the office, and manner of election at the general election, makes this further stipulation:
 "Provided that before any county shall be authorized to elect a County Superintendent, the question of For County Su- pervision, and Against County Supervision, shall be submitted to the qualified electors at the annual school meeting held on the 3rd Saturday in May in the years preceding those in whic h the general State and county elections are held, and if a ma jority of the electors voting on the ques ton in said election vote for County Supervision then said county shall elect County Su- perintendent as provided by this act" "

The Arkansas Democrat, in speaking of the 7th Congression- al District muddle. says: "Who received the most votes? That is the question involved :"
 Yes, thatis is the ques tion that must be settled, and settled right. If Mir Wallace and his supporters will not assist in set ting it, fairly and squarely, as honest men should, then it must be settled without them and despite them. The high-handed action of Galloway and Tom Hardy will not go with the peo- ole.

While we are not inclined to detract from MT Donaghey $ we'll earned honors, nevertheless, the silly boSh of some of his en- thusiastic admirers make us have that tired feeling" when they prate of his great popular ity, and the love that the people have for him, personally. Every man. with sense enough oswap jack-knives, knows the secret of Donaghey winning over Kirby and Hinemon, and 1t is little less than!cruel to Ben. L.
