 So many of the candidate have promises of subscriptions that it is sdeemed advisable to offer double votes on new subscriptions for one week to enable the candidates to show why the subscriptions should be given now. "A week ago a simi- lar proposition was offered which was very successful. The plan to be launched now however, is little diff ferent from the one in force last week, in that Double Votes will be given on all new subscriptions, where as last week the offer was good on a certain number that had to be turned in making it little difficult for some of the candidates to secure the required number. But this week the votes will be doubled on all new subscriptions from three months up. i This will give the candidates who have been tagging behind in the race somewhat of an opportunity to catch up with those further up in the list If any candidate will not only dd as we'll as usual this week, but will do their best, they will make it warm for every competitor in the race.

 Another ghost Of the past stalkea into the auditors office this morning in the shape of a coupon bond is- sued by the state many years ago, during the administration of Powelt Clayton, for the purpose of funding the public deht.
 The bond Was one of a series is- sued under the authority of an act og the legislature in 1869, and was for s1,000, to be liqudated at so much per year, beginning in 1871. It had enough coupons attached to paper the side of a good-sized cabin, and some of them are gone, indicating that there had oe.n payments on the interests of tho bond before it was finally outlawed along with large family of other evidences of indebt- edness,' known IS the Hofcrd bonds. in 1SS5 by virtue of the "Fishback |amendment.'
 The present holder Of the bond |above mentioned resides somewhere in the imperial tsate of New York, whither the regrets of the state cuditor's department are hastcning. It will probably be about the 2S4O A. D., before any of these old bonds are paid, but it is difficult for this information to get into general circulation it seems-Arkansas Dem- Ocrat.

there should be no remonstrance meas

also asserted that the fight will have
