TO THE DEMOCRACY
| Judge M. L. Arnold Writes
an Open Letter.
I feel it my duty to write an
open letter to the voters of Inde
pendence county, that they may
fully understand why I will con
tinue in the tace for representa
tive as the nominee of the demo
cratic party, and in vindication of
the rights of my township. It is
a well known fact that I have al
ways acted with the democratic
party, and my township has al
ways furnished a large percentage
ot the democratic majority of the
county and the opposing party
has never accused them of dis
honesty in so doing, but the cen
tral committee did, at its last
meeting, cast a reflection upon j
| the voters of my township that j
I none of them admire. It will lie I
j remembered that when the returns I
I were sent in from Big Bottom,
I there were some insinuations of
dishonesty in the election in that
township, and Mr. Mathcny tilled)
u petition for investigation. At j
this the canvassing board hesitat
ed since the like of which was un- j
precedented. But the judges of
|election in Big Bottom, hearing
) of this confusion went in a body
to Batesville and insisted that it be
done, in order to secure harmony
in the part}-. Had they been
guilty of fraud, do you suppose
they would have done this? How
ever, when the recount was made
it did not tally with tlie returns
assent in by the judges, but in
stead, gave Mr. Mathcny a small
majority. The judges of Big Bot
tom could only claim that thehal
iors :ntu net'll tampered witn since
they left their bunds, and this was
corroborated l))- the canvassing
board, who said tin* ballots were
badly multilateU. Upon this un
formation, 1 filed a petition fora
recount of the entile county. At
the next meeting of thecounnittee
this ie(|uest was granted and an
other committee appointed to
make the full count, and dechue
results, which wore to be linal.
Hut as they proceeded they found
that liarren, Washington and sev
eral other townships, were in the
same condition as Big Bottom,
file ballots, they said, had been
tampered with. Thereupon they
declined to proceed further, lint
their written report gave me the
nomination by a small majority.
Now, gentlemen, the above are
the true facts in the case, and
from them it seems impossible to
determine who is rightfully the
nominee, Mu'heny or myself.
It does seem to me that the
committee should have ordered a
new primary for Matheny and
myself, and this motion was made
in that body, hut voted down, 8
to 5, Then a motion was made
to take the count of the judges in
all the townships except Big Bot
tom, and in that particular take
the count of the canvassing hoard.
This carried by the same 8 to T>,
Now, gentlemen, I submit to
any fair minded man that what
constitutes fraud in Big Bottom
should he declared fraud any
where and every whole. It seems
that the central committee is en
deavoring to disrupt the demo
cratic party. 1 should not say the
committee, hut a mere majority
of tlu se in attendance on that oc- ;

casion, fur it tan be said of those
five that, in every instance, they
laid aside personal feelings and
did all in their power for harrao*
ny in the party. Besides this,
one of the five was the committee
man from Kuddell township, who
was one of the first canvassing
hoard. Surely lie knows it is
questionable which of us got the
nomination.
1 do not think either of ns
should have received the nomina
tion under the semblance of fraud,
for that would antagonize the
other’s friends, and I can see no
other reason for the committee
acting as they did, other than a
fixed determination on the part
of the majority to set down on
me and give vent to their preju
dice against my township.
Will any man dare accuse the
Big Bottom judges of wilfully fal
sifying the returns any more than
they would Barren or Washing
ton? Vet t he committee, by their
actions, virtually accuse them of
so doing when they take the one
and refuse the other, it has only
been a few years hack when such
men as Tom Magness, Dock Lane
and Toni Deal ing, w**re confident
ly relied upon for the success of
the democratic party in theii
township. Big Bottom judges
h..ve nrst nor will mil noiko nn.
warranted charges against their
neighboring judges. They art* too
open handed to grasp their ell irn
cteis as well as their good names.
Power may he a had as well as a
good tiling, especially when un
restrained. It was made the duty
of the suh-committee to open tip
and count the votes in each town
ship and declare the result which
was to he iinnl. Did they do as
ordered? The answer is no ; they
made a partial count and stopped
"hort. What for? In order to
judge and condemn the good peo
ple of my township bv saying
that, though fraud had been found
in a number of townships, that
they, and they alone, should bear
the blame of all. Is that all?
No ; they say we must hush this
mill uiei ing. Few have said so.
Well, I want to say now that we
cannot nor will not hush. No.
never, until we get our lights,
thereby our honors, vindicated.
They say hush, get in line and
vote for the nominees. That is
just what every democrat should
do, and that is just what we in
tend to do, but we are going to
know who they are, or be found
trying, between this and next
September. Then we will vote
fo'' them without a scratch, so
that Dig Bottom will continue
the banner democratic township
in the county in spite of the false
accusations made against her by a
lew pretended democrats.
Now, had the central committee
ordered a new primary between
Mr. Maliieny and me, then had
he received more votes than me,
my township would have been in
line for him in one solid phalanx.
My formal announcement will be
made in due time.
Yours for ttie cause,
M. L. AliNuT.D

A NATURAL SOAP MINE.
Spot lit llrllixh Ciilmnliin from Which
a Curious SaponareonM Sub
stance Ik Taken.
Out in British Columbia they have
recently found a place where one can
chop pieces of soap out of the ground.
Or, if it is not soap, it is the next thing
to it. The hands can be washed with
it, and the farmers and workmen of
that neighborhood declare that it will
remove grease and dirt more quickly
than the real article, says the New
York Tribune.
This useful substance is n mixture
of borax and soda, both of which have
long been employed in laundry work,
'l iic mineral is found on the shores of
small soda lakes in the foothills near
Ashcraft, and is being taken out in
blocks 18 inches long, 15 inches wide
and 8 or 0 inches thick. A rough esti
mate which has reached Montreal,
a ml which has been passed along to
Washington by the American consul
general at the former place, puts th'e
total amount of deposit at 20,000 tons.
Nothing is said, however, about the
cost of getting it to market.
Borax is formed by the union of
boracic acid and carbonate of soda.
I in California, Nevada, Persia, Thibet
| and India it occurs ready made. Cer
; tain springs in Sicily abound in boracic
acid, which is artificially converted
into borax on the spot by the addition
l of soda. Chili and Pern have deposits
of borate of lime, which, with proper
chemical treatment, is turned into
Commercial borax. The mineral
found in British Columbia seems to lie
much the same thing ns the California
product.
Among tiic birds that are living a
higher life, it is the female bird who
carries the hod during building time.
The husband sits about on twigs and
tells her how to do it. A woodpecker
should be a very pariah among decent
birds. The moment a woodpecker’s
mate gets through nesting, hetellsher
“to take her clothes and go”—then lie
establishes himself in the house she has
built -and she goes and builds an
other for winter. She is fool enongn
j to take another woodpecker to boss tlie
job, if she can find one willing, but as
a general tiling all the male wood
peckers at that time arc as comfortably
! provided for as her legitimate spouse,
\ to she has to work without getting
■ kicked for it.—Nature.
