Brundidge's Caustic Comment.

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-The Democratic state central com mittee, at a meeting held in this city recently, adopted a res olution prohibiting anyone from participating in the coming March state primary who refus- ed to vote for Gov. Hays in the July special gubernatorial elec- tion. Former Congressman Brundidge of Searcy, who op- posed Gov. Hays in the prima- ries and afterwards instituted contest proceedings before the state committee, when asked tto- day what he thought of the com mittee's action, said:
 Tn reply to your question as to what l think of the recent ac- tion of the state central commit tee, I desire to say that 1 am glad you have asked me. l have always been a Democrat, and have been one of that type who has never scratched a name on the ticket, but this action on the committee is the limit of endur- ance, and if carried out in this and other states would mean the utter undoing of the party in the government. The policy hereto fore has been to get as many as we could to join our ranks in a common fight against the oppo- sition, and all that has ever been required of one offering to vote in Democratic primary was a pledge that he would support the nominees of the party, but un- der this new order of things the rule is reversed, and before one can vote in the Democratic pri- mary he must be sworn by and at the request of any keeper of i dive that he supported the last so-calIed nominees. The effect of enforcing such a rule would be to disfranchise more than

twO-thirdS of the Democratic voters of the state and drive out of the Democratic party men who today pay more than two thirds of the taxes to the sup port of the state government. Such an action would put to shame the acts of the days of reconstruction and would prove a disaster not only to the party, but to the state.
 "I must think that the com mittee, or a majority thereof, was mad when they made the rule, but I think it will be the means of arousing to action the men who have made Arkansas what it is, and the sooner the better, for we are nearing a crl- sis, one way or the other, and , am glad of it"

 ACROSS BORDER
Both Federal and Rebel Armies Send Injured Soldiers to
 Red Cross Quarters.

Presidio, Texas, Jan. 1.-The sixth day of the siege of Ojin- aga by General Artega's rebel army, although attended by in- cessant cannonading from day light until late tonight, ended without result except to in- crease the dead and wounded on both sides.
 All the wounded were sent by both rebels and federals to the American side of the river to be cared for by the Red Cross. As neither of the contending armies maintains a hospital service, 150 more wounded were carried to United States territory to be crowded into a small school house and church which were converted into hospitals. While shrapnel and volley af- ter volley of rifle fire were pour ed into the little village, on which the whole northern divis- ion of the Federal army, with it's II generals, is making a stand against rebels, the relative posi- tions of the two armies at night fall were unchanged.
 General Ortega's troops, which had taken entrenchments on all sides of Ojinaga except that which faces the Texas bor- der were withdrawn and concen- trated about two miles west on the banks of the Conchos river. Just previously General Salazar, who, with 800 Federal volun- teers, succeeded for the first time since the siege in going out of the Notifications in an at tempt to attack General Ortega's rear, was driven back by the re- bels, not however, until he had killed a dozen or more rebels. So far the casualties have been dis proportionate to the number of shots fired.
 About 120,0O0 rounds of anl-
 munition have been expended by
 both armies. On the basis of that 5000 rebels and 4,000 fed erals are engaged, this would in-
 dicate that 12 shots were fired
 for each soldier, while the total
 dead and wounded do not exceed
 1000.
