Arkansas’ Next Governor, Col. W. M.
Fishback, Leads Off at Park
Byrne.—Big Crowd Present.
This morning shortly before 10
o’clock, the time appointed for speak
ing of the candidates for Governor,
the Cleveland and Thurman Demo
cratic Chib, formed in procession, and
together witli the band, escorted Col.
Fishback out to Park Byrue, the place
arranged for the speaking. We were
very busy in our office, and did not
get away until after the procession
had left the hotel; we learn several
hundred Democrats were in line in
the procession. Chairman Arnold
and Secretary Sanderson, of the Dem
ocratic Central Committee, at much
expense, had arranged a platform and
seats iu the rink at the park.
fishback’h speech.
Mayor Arnold iu a few well chosen re
marks, introduced Col Fishback to the
audience, and the gallant ‘I lemocratic
leader did not disappoint his friends
Started oft’ in a low tone of voice.
Ho then branched oft’ in a masterly
exposition of the great tariff issue.
We have only time and space to touch
upon a few of the many strong points
he made. The Republican party dis
regarded the rights of individuals,
while Democracy carefully guards and
upholds them. History abounds in
illustrations of the folly of dis
regarding these rights. Democ
racy was born when the origi
nal thirteen colonies discovered the
theory of self-government, and car
ried it into effect. Too strong a dis
position on the part of many to lean
upon the government for sustenance —
some even clamor for government
ownership and control of nearly all of
our largest business enterprises; tills is
Republicanism run wild. Third party
folks complain of the number of mil
lionaires and paupers in the
country, and tlie general depression,
offering as a remedy the granting of
greater powers to the government, in
carrying out various schemes, in
volving a larger volume of
money, etc. These people lie
had no quarrel or war to make up
on—wanted to reason with them.
Cont raction of the currency is not the
main source of trouble, but the rob
ber system of indirect taxation is.
Compared the wealth of manufactur
ing and agricultural States, under a
Democratic low tariff system and a
Republican high tariff. Under for
mer, the farmers of Hie country
had increased in wealth fifty' per cent,
in ten years, while under hitter they
had actually lost ten per tout. The
six New England States now own
half the total wealth of this country,
accumulated since the Republican
high tariff went into effect. Blaine
and other Republican leaders had boas
ted that manufactured goods in this
country last year amounted to seven
billion live hundred million dollars in
value; he would concede it at half this
sum; as tariff taxes average 60 per
cent, here is Hie enormous sum of
nearly I wo billions of dollars taken from
the people every y ear. A gigantic steal!
Whipple claimed that foreigners paid
tariff taxes; Mr. Sherman (a Republi
can), Cleveland and other eminent au
thority, say' the consumer pays it.
Demonstrated that consumer does pay
it, when he purchases any manufac
tured article. Sugar is much cheaper
since tariff was taken oft; what for
eigner had ever paid consumer the
tax on it in former years 'Die Re
tails’fosters trusts and combines, and
causes lock-outs and strikes. It gave
Carnegie his forty million dollars.
It docs not protect, American labor
or raise wages. As this is the great
est question of all ho had for this
reason left off the discussion of silver
and other matters. Mr. Fishback made
an unusually strong spescli and was
often heartily applauded, and won
many votes, lie did not indulge in
abuse of other parties.
WIIII’I’LE'h HI'EECIL
it was raining when Col. Fishback
censed speaking. After a few min
utes when rain had subsided. Mr. B.
M. Foreman introduced Col. Whipple
the Republican nominee, for Governor.
He made the regulation party speech,
lauding his party and claiming that
it built up the country substantially,
nml thnt the hard times now
complained of so much, is not a reali
ty. Abused Democracy most bitterly,
accusing it of all the crimes in the
category. Nothing in the Force bill—
simply a scare like so-called hard times.
Whipple’s expletivci mid gyrations
amused the Democratic aitdkiuco very
much. When he first got up a few
negroes in the rear yelled lustily for
him. We could not remain to hear
all of ills speech.
Carnahan was to have followed Col.
Whipple, and Col. Fishback close in a
short rejoinder. A good big crowd
at the rink, but the rain interfered
witli the speaking—audience could not
hear well what was said.
The Torch Light Procession.
Last night, according to program,
the Cleveland and Thurman Demo
cratic Club met at the City Hall and
formed into a grand torch-light pro
cession and proceeded to the Cotton
Belt depot to meet Col. Fishback.
Over two hundred enthusiastic Demo
crats joined in the procession, and
when Hie train arrived at 10:20, with
Col. Fishback aboard, they raised a
mighty cheer for our gallant leader.
Mayor Arnold and Mr. W. T. Burch,
who had gone over to New Lewisville
to receive Mr. F. and accompany him
here, escorted him to the carriage pre
pared for him,Dr. G. 11. Wootten,pres
cient of club Zach Few. and Mayor Ar
nold took a seat in the vehicle with the
distinguished visitor, and the proces
sion headed for the lluckius House,
the baud in front and the club follow
ing the carriage.
After arrival at the hotel, Col. Fish
back was called for and in a neat and
appropriate little speech returned his
thanks for the warm reception accord
ed him, as the Democratic representa
tive. The Club gave him three rous
ing cheers as lie retired to his room.
Tlie false and slanderous leport of
the Referee this morning, about the
torch light procession having been
composed of “hoodlums” end “boot
blacks” is denounced on all sides.
The Site Purchased.
Camden, Abk., August 11.—1’rivate
parties in this city leave received from
the Government $4,000 for the site
agreed on and selected for Camden’s
public building. 'Die last Congress
appropriated $25,000 for the purchase
and the bill was signed by' the Presi
dent. It is expected that work will
commence at once. (,’amden also had
a $5,000 appropriation for its river
front.
Sample Copies.
We are now printing quite a number
of sample copies of the Democrat for
free distribution among the merchants
and business men of Texarkana.
Look the paper over and see how you
like it, and then subreribe for and
advertise in it.
We desire to impress upon our bus
iness men the fact that it is our pur
pose to give them an attractive, live
and newsy daily paper, but we can not
do this without their aid and encour
agement. Already much expense has
been incurred in buying new type,
etc., and the paper shows marked im
tirovement; paper has already received
many handsome compliments from
best citizens. We shall keep on im
proving the paper.
In a few days we shall try to get
around to see the business men of
the city, on both sides, and we trust
to receive a liberal jiatronage, in the
way of new subscribers and advertis
ing. Again we say read the papers
we send out, and then bo prepared to
encourage our efforts in behalf of
Texarkana, when we call on you.

GOV. BUCHANAN
GIVES HIS REASONS FOR COM
MUTING KING’S SENTENCE.
The Murderer Safely Landed in the
State Penitentiary.-Excitement
Over the Caso Continues.
Nashville. Tenn., August 11.—
“Governor Buchanan, will you give
me your reasons for the commutation
of Col. 11. Clay King?’ asked the As
sociated Press reporter of the Chief
Executive this morning.
“With pleasure,” said the Governor,
“and I will do it briefly. First I
thought King should have had a
change of venue. Affidavits to the
effect that Juror Smith communicated
with outside parties and expressed an
opinion about the case, were filed with
me. These affidavits could not be in
troduced in the court record because
it was too late.
The action of Juror Mustin and of
the, jury in going to Arkansas to de
liberate upon the case, the partial in
sanity pleadings of his wife and chil
dren and most prominent men of tlie
country , besides hundreds of letters
and petitions.
These were my reasons for com
muting the sentence.”
“I am responsible for my actions,”
said tlie Governor. “1 thought I was
doing right, and I acted according to
my belief.”
He then handed tlie reporter a let
ter signed by twenty-six United States
Senators and Congressmen.
.SAFE IN THE PENITENTIARY.
Tlie prisoner arrived in this city at
mi early hour this morning, and was
at once conveyed to tlie State prison
by Sheriff McLendon. The sheriff
brought King byway of Nortonsville.
Ky. Their journey was a quiet one.
Great excitement still prevails at
Memphis and over the country—nearly
everybody condemning tlie action of
Gov. Buchanan iu the case.
CAPT. BLYTHE AT LITTLEROCK.
Full Settlement Made With The
State, For Miller County.
Capt. A. S. Blythe, the ol<t Dem
ocratic Sheriff of Miller County,
illumined the Capital Hotel rotunda
with smiles from his pleasant coun
tenance. Capt. Blythe is an old fash
ioned Democrat who wears two gal
luses, and always has a kind word for
every one he meets. He lias been
well-bred, and no matter where he
goes his gentlemanly instincts are
sure to manifest themselves whenever
the opportunity is afforded. He at
tended the National Democratic Con
vention at Chicago. Late one after
noon he decided to take a ride on
one of the cable cars. After going a
few blocks the car became crowded.
A lady got aboard nml the. gallant
Captain arose, raised his slouch hat
politely and offered his seat to the
feminine passenger, which was accept
ed. The men in the car looked at
each other and sijiiled. One of them
had the impudence to remark:
“Say, country, that aint the way we
do in Chicago.”
“1 reckon not,” said Capt. Blythe.
“But, you see, I’m from South Ar
kansas, and was raised a gentleman
and not a dog.”
There were at least a dozen ladies
in tlie car, all of whom darted piercing
looks of disgust at (he Chicago Smart
Alex and clapped their hands in ap
plauding the Miller County Sheriff
Capt. Blythe arrived in the city yes
terday on business, which was trans
acted with tlie State Treasurer. He
came to town to make a settlement with
(Joi. Morrow, as Collector of his county.
He obtained a receipt from the State
Treasurer for $18,340, remarking as
he folded tlie little slip of paper and
tucked it away in the inside pocket of
vest:
“Colonel, I reckon that’s all Miller
county owes tlie State; if it ain’t I
reckon yon can get tlie balance by
calling ou me at any time.”
A week or two ago a little newspa
per published in Texarkana, just across
the State line, contained n sensational
article, charging Capt. Blythe with
owing the State sls,ooo,and indirectly
charging him witli being short that
amount. Several of his friends were
much annoyed by the article, and
when onu of his bondsmen asked him
for an explanation, the Captain said:
“Well, 1 reckon I owe the State
some money, and If anybody will set
tle (he claim I’ll give him more than
that.”
“Well, I reckon Its all right Cap,
don’t think I was doubting your hon
esty,” replied the bondsman, and it Is
generally reckoned by everybody In
Miller county that ho was lolling the
truth.—Little Rock Gazelle.
