hon^r and that of his party. The
time had come when the state should
repudiate this potty demagogue and
infamous liar.
While the crowd at Swifton was
strongly for Davis in point of num
bers, there was no applause wortny of
that name. There was no enthusiasm ,
even for their favorite, the governor.
Governor Davis and Hon. Charles
Ooffln were brought to Newport for
their night engagement by rigs, but i
Mr. Vandeventer was compelled to
leave for North Greenwood, Mo.,
being under contract to deliver a lec
ture there before a Chautauqua as
sembly. He expressed very earnest
regret over not being able to come to
Newport, but promises a visit later.
The people here equally regret Mr.
Vaudeventer’s inability to attend.
DOUGLASS AGAIN UNDER ARREST
J. M. Douglass, a tenant living east
of Newport, who several weeks ago
was placed under arrest for beating
bis wife and required to give a peace
bond of $1,000 to secure his liberty,
Again created a disturbance at bis
borne Wednesday night.
He returned home drunk and at
tacked his wife, who escaped to the
borne of neighbors, and his daughters,
too, were compelled to flee for safety,
is he threatened to shoot them, and
spent the night in the orchard.
James Waters, a hired hand, was
3ut several times by the drunken man,
who has evaded arrest. The recent
peace bond is good until the next
term of court and was signed by J. S.
Wilmans. It rests with the prosecut
ing attorney as to whether the bond
will be forfeited.
SPEAKING AT NEWPORT.
A packed court room, including a
number of ladies, assembled Thursday
aveniug to hear Governor Davis and
Hon. Charles Coffin. Their speeches
were along the same lines as those
made at Swifton, but the rejoinder of
Glovernor Davis was bitterly abusive
af his opponent upon the stump.
Mr. Coffin had said that he consid
sred it a disgrace to vote for Jeff
Davis and had given his reasons
iherefor.
In reply the governor had ridiculed
Doffln as an “old snaggle-toothed
granny, who had lived by himself in a
ien at Walnut Ridge for twenty years
md had ne-'er had his bed made up
sxcept with a grubbing hoe.”
Both sides claim that the crowd was
with their man, and many were so
lisgusted with the character of the
ipeeches that they left before the
ipeaking was concluded.
