T'he national campaign is draw
ing to a close, and both sides arc
claiming a sweeping victory, but
the chances arc that it will be a
dose and hardly contested battle.
During November all clergy
men presenting proper crededtials
will be admitted to the World’s
Fair free, a resolution to this ef-1
feet having been ailopted by the, j
exposition company.
The Heber Jacksonian doesn't
aw‘em to have a very exaulted opin
ion of the Honorable, George L. |
Grant, of Newport, who awoke!
•ne morning recently and found
himself famous because of an in- i
terview published in The Journal. *
—
It is said that Bryan has saved
the Democratic party 10,<>00 voles
jn Indiana among men who would
have voted for W atson or 1 >e»
hud not the eloquent Nebraskan
gone over in that state on Ids re
cent campaign tour. He has done
effective work in other states, al
so, ami if the Democrats win in
the coming election the victory
will be largely due to Bryan's ear
nest support of the ticket.

SLANDERING THE SOUTH.
The biggest he mat The Journal
ever remembers hearing in the
fewest words is the following from
an editorial in the State Republi
can:
“In the South the light to hold
any opinion other than Democrat
ic is denied. Republicans are not
officially granted the right to ex
ist, and are told that they had
better get out of the South.
We challenge this vile and dirty
slanderer to mention even one in
stance where any man, either
black or white, was ever officially |
told to get out of the South be-1
cause lie was a Republican, lhe
people of tin1 South have never
refused to grant any man the right
to his political belief. lhe fact
that there is today more Republi
cans holding otfice in Arkansas
than ever before in '20 years is
nnsitive oroof that the neople in
this section of the Souih have no
prejudice against a man because
of his belief in the principles of
the Republican party. And wh t
is true of Arkansas in this respeei
is true of any other state in the
South.
The vote given the Republican
candidate for governor of Arkan
sas in the recent state election is
another refutation of this vile
slander. The vote cast for the
Republican gubernatorial candi
date was the largest polled by any
Republican candidate in years,;
many Democrats voting for him,
ttul yet we are told that Repub-:
iicans are not granted the right to
exist in the South.'*
Rut why argue the case' Ev
erybody, except a few swell-head
ed aristocrats in Boston, knows
the statement is absolutely false
and that no such conditions exist
only within the dark recesses ot
thi‘ shriveled and warty piece oi

tli<* biped who penned the editori
al referred to.
W lien old S':tan starts out in
search of tin* yieaiest liar on earth
he can save himself a great deal
of unnecessary travel and worry
by going straight to the State Re
publican office; and we have an
idea that the old gentleman can
readily recognize him by the
smallness of Ids head, which, if
his editorials are any indication of
his broadmindedness, is so snm 1!
that both eyes are iu the same
mjc ket.

Lruilt was clear. There was not a
doubt of the decree. Vour own j
testimony made out the case if
there had been no more. You
mercilessly shot down a brave of
licer and good man in the dis
charge of his official duty,wilfully,
maliciously and with deliberation
md premeditation. You had a
fair and impartial trial. You
Ji'oke the law of God. You broke
lie law of man. For this you
must die. Die, ignominiously and
>n the scaffold.
Hope by you for your life in
his world is about at an end. You
ire about to make a leap in the
lark. In a few short weeks you
oust pass from this earth to the
rreat beyond, there to settle bo
ore the Great Judge. What His
sentence will be is not for me to

Now if you have anything to

•eason why sentence should not be
