Year: 1878

We today place at the head oi our columns the names of the gentle men chosen as the regular party nominees by the primary election held on the 18th inst.

 Whatever may have been our in. dividual preferences we now bow in cheerful acqulescence to the express ed will of the majority of the party, and we commend the ticket to the cordial support of every true demo crat in the county. Support the ticket straight out, and give no heed to the siren song of bolters, inde. pendents (so- -called) and disappoint- ed individuals who will no doubt try to create dissatisfaction with the ticket. The only safety is in pre- serving the discipline and unity of the party. All efforts at bettering matters by outside or independent action leads to disintegration and confusion. Stick to the regular par. ty organization and if you see abus- es or wrong, fight them IN the party and not OUT of it. A review of our ticket shows that there Is really no serious objection that can be raised to the ticket.

 Mir. E. L. McCrackcn, the nomi. nee for Representative, is an old and we'll known citizen of the county not old in years, but in citizenship and identification with the true in. terests of the county and state. He is one of the young, active, progress sive democrats of the times. With a record throughout hls private life of unlmpeachable integrity and hon. csty, he will make useful and faith. full representative for the people of Pope.

 Judge R. B. Wilson is a nominee of which the county may be proud. Although he, too, is young man, he has shown a discretion and sound. ness of judgment while filling the responsible position of County and Probate Judge. which marks him as eminently qualified for the office. With every interest of his own and his family knit to Pope county he will be a faithful guardian of the public interests.

 Mir. A. J. Bayliss, the lucky man for County Clerk is known to everybody in the county. He has grown old in the service of his county and for the many years of faithful public ser. vices which he has given his fellow, citizens he is entitled to their great est consideration. Whatever short. comings or delinquencies he may have ever evinced must be attribut. ed by all to an error of the head and not of the heart. None of us are perfect, and few men will fill a posi- tion in the public service as long as has Judge B. without making just as many and as serious mistakes as he. K. B. Hogins, the nominee for Sheriff has been tried before. He is today one of the best if not the VERY BEST Sheriff in Arkansas. There is not naH in the cosnsy who can poll as full vote for Sheriff as him. He is emphatically the right man in the right place.

 Mir. Frank c. Falls, the nominee for Treasurer, has proved his worth by his work. Pope county has never had a more diligent and eff. cient servant than him, and never will have. lie has given the busi. ness of his office system and degree of erder which has never been known in the office before. He, too, is emiDently the right man in the right place,

 w. M. Peeler has served one term for Assessor and has given degree of satisfaction rarely ever given by an occupant of that position. Nc better man could have been chosen for the office. The county is safe
