The AnvKHTiHKK gives space t<>[

Dkah Stii:- Yesterday evening after
the trade Riving the Elgin vote to Sta-
ples for Smithville'* support of the res-
olution* providing for county nomina-
tions had been carried into effect, 1 <lc-
{dared that while I would give my ear-
I nest support to all other democratic
j nominees 1 could not now feel kindly to-
I wards a measure that caused my defeat,
I and that I would therefore not support
the nominees of the county convention.
This declaration of mine was made while
I was smarting, not under the sting of
' defeat so much, as disappointment at
! the discovery of s<> much treachery
j among men whose friendship 1 had never
doubtful and whose support (voluntarily
; tendered in some instances) I was rely-

With all of its evils, there is
no safer way of presenting candidates to
the people than by party nominations.
The trading off friends by swapping
votes, is an act that borders on immor-
ality to say the least of it, but it is not
to be compared to the many shameful
and disgraceful acts which often attend
a race for office by independent candi-
dates.
I concede that the trading of votes in
this instance, so far as it affected me,
though bad practice, especially at the
beginning of county" nominations, has
done no particular harm, but may have

Rev. Lucey, a colored man of
Arkansas, was a delegate to the

congress. Ho spoke with great
force on the relations of the negro
to labor and commerce. At the
close of his address he showed up |
the colored race as follows: "Our
religion is varied and our politics
checkered. We sometimes pray 1
with the pious and drink with the
