r CLOSING OF CAMPAIGN.
Little Rock, Aug. 31.—The joint
political campaign which has been
carried on in Arkansas since the
opening, July 25, at Stuttgart, be
tween Gov. Davis and H. H. Myers,
democratic and republican candidates
for governor respectively, closed to
night at West End Park, in this city,
in '' 9 presence of about 3,000 people.
Governor Davis was introduced by
Chairman Armstrong. He accused
the democrats of Pulaski county of
having been remiss in their duty to the
party. Early in his speech, when he
became very personal, the crowd in
terrupted him so that he continued
with difficulty and the police’were
called into the grand stand to pre
serve order. “Go back and soak
your heads, you little pie eaters!”
shouted the governor. He called Mr.
Myers “a cross between a Methodist
preacher and a Jew,” and interlarded i
his speech with epithets of “raur- <
derers,” “cut-throats,” “robbers” and
“looters.” He charged that H. L. i
Rp-mmftl urjitt nut of fnt* 1
and in high dudgeon the governor
picked up his hat, after he had spoken
about half an hour, and walked off the
platform with the remark: ‘ Ladies
and gentlemen, I decline to speak
any more to such a dirty, contempt
ible audience of pie-eating radicals.”

| WHITE RIVER
RAILWAY SURVEY
Forsythe, Mo., August 30.—A largt
corps of surveyors in the employ ol
the White river railway have entered
Taney county from the west, and are
working down Roark Creek toward
White River. The route followed is
the old Merriwether survey, which
crosses White river at the mouth of
Coon Creek, thence by Pine Mountain
and down Bee Creek to White river
again. For the past two months sev
eral corps have been endeavoring to
find a satisfactory route around Lee’s
mountain, north of Yellville. It is
reported here that a good line can be
aad leaving Yellville three miles to
she south, missing Dodd City, but
striking the Leadville route to Baer
'reek valley, from whence it is not
le%ymined whether the route w;ll go
hrough northern Boone county via
)maha into Turkey Creek and down
o White river, or via the Pine Moun
ain. The latter seems to be the most
easible. This country is being can
o on/I « __ . i
Company to supplj’ the town with
50,000 gallons of water per day. As
the town has been using 500,000 gal
lons per day, all consumers should
economize as much as possible that
this one-tenth may supply the needs
of the people.
There is reserved for an emergency
such as fire about 18 feet of water in
the tower.

VERY LIGHT VOTE.
—
r Little interest is manifested in the
: election today, except by a few of the
friends of Governor Davis, some of
the regular Republicans and others
who are anxious to secure a heavy
majority for the license of saloons.
If street rumor be correct, Davis is
polling a rcgro vote, which will prove !
a surprise to the Republicans. But
this is hardly credited by those who
know how well the negro sticks to!

POLITENESS REWARDED.
Not many months ago 01,000 was
willed to a conductor of the Chicago
& Alton Railway for being attentive
and courteous. A somewhat similar
•Ircumstance has reoccurred. Mr.
H. J. Titus, a steward on one of the
“Alton’s” dining-cars, recently had for
a guest a gentleman to whom he un
consciously gave such polite attention
as to attract his patron’s notice. Upon
arrival of the train in Chicago this
passenger, who was a high official of
the Mobile & Ohio Railway, repaired
to the general offices of the Chicago &
Alton Railway, and being assured of
Mr. Titus’ ability, promptly appointed
the latter superintendent commissary
of the Mobile & Ohio Railway. Mr.
Titus assumed nis new duties August
16, with headquarters in Jackson,
renn. He is the youngest railway
superintendent of dining cars in the
United States, his age being but 24.

on all republican leaders. Behind
' Myers he said he saw the grim visage
of a one armed man from Mexico,
(Ambassador Clayton,) who came to
Arkansas with a bowie knife in one
hand and a carpet bag in the other,
leaving behind a trail of blood and
misery.
“Only one fool can speak at a time
and I have the floor,” said he, when
interrupted again. He then attempt
ed to continue, but the roasting pro
l ceeded from all quarters of the au
dience. Finally the governor sin
gled out ohe of the most persistent, a
prominent merchant and said:
“You man sitting by the post, throw
that fellow sitting by you over the
banisters and break his neck, and I
will see that nothing happens to you.”
This and the vicious personal at
tacks he nad made upon Remmel and
others, was more than the audience
would stand for, and the mutterings
