POLITICAL PliOSVEOT 1Oli 1SSO
Tho political record of the year just
closed Is principally marked by tho one
sldcdness of Its character Beginning
with tho great national victory of 188i
tho Democrats havo not lost on Impor
tant election In the year 18S5 and they
arc stronger for tho future than thoy ever
havo been A wlso conservative policy
by tho president fidelity to tho party
pledges of reform nud a firm resistance
of tho pressure of partisan spoilers have
Impressed tho couutry with contldonce In
tho capabilities of the Democratic party
It will now llvo ou Its merits Tho bus
plclon ami distrust which pervaded the
North afashown to have boon groundless
nnd It tho present administration shall
coutlnuo to pursue Its upright purposo of
giving tho peoplo a patriotic aud not a
partisan government it will inako opposl
tlon to thq Democratic patty a discour
aging duty of Its oppoucuts
General congressional elections occur
this year at which an entirely now con
gross Is to bo chosen That a majority of
thq members to bo roturncd to tho rif
tlcth congress will bo Democrat and
supporters of tho administration thoro
can bo no doubt as long as tho existing
pleasant relations uontlnuo between tho
president aud his party Nothlug but a
rupturo between them can destroy tho
promise of certain victory
Though the stoto elections aro not of
direct natloual importauco hoy will com
mand close attention from national poli
ticians from tho fact that tho legislatures
of many of tho states will havo tho choos
ing of United States senators Thoro is
good hope a reasonable probability of
Democratic success In several ot ho
states whoso legislatures will choose sue
cessors to Ucpubllcan senators and there
Is a chanco of gaining tho nenato and get
ting control of both branhes ot congress
This Is not a mere remote possibility but
a dlstlncfprobablllty and only hard work
aud harmony aro needed to win
With the responsibility upon them of
giving us peace and prosperity nud oi so
unltlug every element of strength as to
mako it count for tho rnost tho Demo
cratic leaders will bring upon themselves
tho reprobation of thplr party if they enter
upon tho new year by sowing dlsseuslons
that will reap defeat
for aspiring ambition to reach out after
distinction at tho cost of party success

of labor rather than a cessation of

been no sufllclcnt cause for the alleged

provo that no person firm or corporation

slnco Christmas bus grown very much
duller than it was for some weeks pre
ceding It Is presumed tho entire sav
ings of tho community went for Christ
mas enjoyments including a plentiful
supply of tho creetur
It Is expected that shortly ono of
the greatest booms thlsrtowu has
ever experienced will bo inaugurated
here Tho grounds for this be
lief nro that of tho almost
absolute certainty that tho Fort Smith
railroad will come h ro and tho vast
amount of improvements now going on
and in contemplation Fully 100000
worth of business buildings are already in
process oi construction on two blocks
alono nud thero Is scarcely a doubt that us
much more will follow within tho next
threo or fourimouths Aside from these
buildings by private parties It Is given
out on good authority that tho
Missouri Pacific Hallway company
have completed arrangements for tho
erection in tbo Immediate future
of a 850000 hotel for the
special accommodation of tho traveling
public near the railway tracks on the
statu line just west of the present Mar
quautl hotel which the now building Is
designed to displace
Another encouraging advantage for the
town is derived from tho passing of tho
Texas PaclUc roatl Into tho hands
of a receiver which necessitates a
division in the yard work which will reu
dor necessary tho employing of from fifty
to sixty additional men on the force and
au incrcasu In tho payroll of about 2600
per month It is understood that this
now ordor of business will commence
about January 1 Tho watertank for tho
use of Texas Pacific engines is bolng
constructed and It is thought all prepara

the tlmo mentioned
