Last week we took occasion to show up ft?. Bailey is not in favor of a law that.
to some extent the record of A. S. Bailey
as the "friend" of the laboring man, and
we think it was pretty conclusively proven
that his friendship is of the kind that it
would make him pay $277 a year that he
refuses to pay without the law now. This
is not a war on Banks or men that loan
money, for J wish we had more money anil
Look out for a secret circular that will be
issued to day and circulated throughout t he
county to mislead you. Also an article ein-
inating from Clarksville, as did the "Smith
and, Jones" articles, pretending to come
from Coleman Springs. But fellow citi-
zens these are frauds and don't be deceiv-
ed by these unfair methods to impose upon
you. The honest man will naturally rebell
from this unfair methods. These paper
bullets are gotten up here in town, pretend-
ing to be from the country. Catch on
friends,and see if you don t see the fine Ital-
ian hand of "Old Confed, ' aud "Smith and
.lones in it.
Later—That secret circular was smoked
out of its hole by Capt. Clark's friends. It
clearly brings before the people that Mr.
Bailey has no merits to run on, nor no rea-
son why the people should vote for him. It
does not show any of the many bills iior
hard fights that Capt. Clark made in bis
untiring fight for the people. But simply
lays open beyond question that Bailey is
being gr oomed by a disappointed political
agitato* whose spleen is so large that he is
becoming green-eyed. The voters will
want to see a secret circular next issued by
these strivers of strife, that will tell them
of some of Mr. Bailey's merits rather than
Capt. Clerk's demerits. This secret circu-
lar is gotten up so that these hirelings, horse
hunter* and vassals of their chief may not
loose any time in finding the places to read
to the people of Bed River county how to
vote. This is enough to disgust every
honest man in the county. They say it is
no secret circular; let the voters name it
when they see it. Let the 409 majority
stand unterrified—we have "'em grabbed."

We have letters and assurances from
several representative men from the coun-
ties adjoining us on the South, since seeing
our referencs a few days ago In regard to
tapping the Paris and Little Rock raiload
at its crossing on Red river, that they will
meet us more than half way in securing an
outlet in a southern direction, and our most
substantial and enterpsising citizens assure
us they will watch very closely the move-
ment of the above road and as soon as they
are convinced that it is a certainty they will
at once proceed to take the necessary steps
to tap it, and then we will build Jfrom here

eastern Texas.

favor by giving the state something to
help it carry on its expenses while it is
protecting them. This law of Clark's
makes it the duty of the commissioners
court to see that suit is brought against A.
S. Bailey and the Hanks to recover this
money they are justly indebted to the
state. Now we would ask if Bailey is a
friend of the poor man the small land Own-
er and the tenant. Tell us why every Bank

one man in the county says he will give
$500 towards defeating Clark then tell us
who this man is. Oh you political agita-
tor do you think your little head has all
the brains in it in the county do you
think you can write and bulldose and bull-
dose and write these people into making
fools of themselves. We have been beg-
ging to stop this kind of a fight through the
paper, we were willing to content ourselves
hy praising our candidate, Capt. Clark's
raerit9 and saying nothing against A. S.
Bailey. But the cruelest war and most dis-
graceful bulldosing campaign ever known
in the county has been instituted against
Capt. Clark and we are only shooting you
with the 3ame kind of shot Bailey's friends
are shooting at Capt. Clark, we have hoist-
ed the flag of truce aud would stay this
kind of war. But if not then Mr. Bailey
we have so far handled you with soft kid
gloves and if this fight continues, we have
hitched to the same rack with the Banks
we have conclusivly proven that you lick
salt out of the same trough with them.
Yes you|have got so gentle they caress you
pat you and tell you tbey want you to foo
the public ,with your plausible talk and
go to the legislature for them and make
them same good laws that will keep them
and you from paying the state the $2-197.50
you justly owe it for protecting you
Good bye sweet friend of the poor man
until next time. Parties interested will
find these figures in the collectors office.
Capt. Clark's Sins of Omission.
Capt. Clark wa9 absent from the legisla-
ture ten or fifteen days on the trial of
Judge Willie. He was on the judiciary
committee for several weeks a position that
none but the first lawyers and best repre-
sentative men have the honor of holding.
This will account for all the days of his ab-
nance. But if you send A. S. Bailey he
will simply be used for votiog purposes and
ought to be there all the time. But a man
of Clark's ability will hold some position
of importance on committee's etc.
The question is, are you going to come
out on Saturday and vote like freemen
and Americans, or are you going to let
some political agitator put a collar around
your neck and vote you to gratify his own
personal ambition. Come out and strike
u death blow to these political agitators
whose business it has been this year to
create discord in your neighborhoods, in
your school communities and in your
county." Come out and vote—bo undaunt-
ed by being called rag-tag and bob tails,
if you are poor be independent and refuse
to l>e lead into a tight by men who have
ho other use for you than to use you and
get together and laugh at you idealise
you have I>een. fool enough to let them
use you. The tight is being made even
in the ^inventions against Capt. Clark
and his friends, simply for reveng tor the
stnnd he took two yesrs ago. The ques-
tion now is, are you going to fight anoth-
er man's battles—a deed issue, or are you
going to do your own independent tliinTT-
ing and voting <
Let every democrat turn out get in the

not believe then and do not believe now this . than they do. The government protects
is the proper way to carry on this cam
paign. And said last week we were willing
to stop it, yet as Bailey's friends are still
.shooting paper wadding at Capt. Clark we
will only shoot a little buck shot this time.
But if Bailey don't stop this kind of fight
his friends are making, we will from this
on turn our gatling gun on him and before
we finish firing he wiil be convinced we are
"loaded for bear" as weli as for cat's paw
political agitators etc. Clark as a friend
of honest toil and against robbery, in-
troduced and succeeded in passing a bill
through the House that the commissioners
court should instruct the county attorney
to bring suit against all parties who bad
not rendered their personal property for
taxation and paid tax on the same. It was
hy this bill the duty of the county attorney
to bring suit and recover this money for
the state. Capt. Clark believed if the far-
mer had to pay on his land the tenant on
his horses, wagons etc., if they had by the
sturn requirements of the law to do this
that the money lenden aught to pay taxes
on his money and pay his proportion of the
taxes in the way of keeping up the ex-
penses of the government.
This i9 the law introduced by Capt.
Clark.
That hereafter it shall be the duty of
the district or county attorney of the re-
spective counties of this state, tiy order of
toe commissioners court, to institute suit
iu the name of the state for the recovery
of all money due the state and county as
taxes due and paid on unrendered personal
property, and in all suits where judgments
are obtained under this act the person own-
ing the property on which there are taxes
due the state and county shall be liable,
for all cost. Provided such suits may be
brought for all taxes so due and unpaid
for which such delinquent tax payer may
be in arrears for and since the year 1886.
And Provided futher. The state and
county shall be exempt from liability' for
any cost growing out of such. Provided
all suits brought under this act for the re-
covery of taxes due on personal property
shall be brought against the person or per-
sons who owned the property at the time
such property should have been listed or
assessed for taxation. Provided that no
suit shall be brought until after demand is
made by the collector in person for the
taxes due. And provided futher no suit
shall be brought for on any amount less
than twenty-five dollars."
Thi9 is the law, is there any legislating
here for corporation. Is there any dema-
goguery in this. Does it favor the Red
River County Bank, the Citizen Bank, A.
S. Bailey the Prince of money lenders in
the county, or is it in favor of the man who
owns land, stock and etc. 1 will thow to
the voter some of the most glaring fraud es
by cool calculating figures that ever were
perpetrated on them and then you cau
readily see why every Bank in the county
and A. S. Bailey are so interested in de-
feating Capt. Clark. I will show by fig-
ures I dare them to deuy that the pockets
of A. S. Bailey and the two Banks are
directly interested in defeating Clark.
Fellow voters give me your attention. A.
S. Bailey. The Red River County Bank,
the Citizen Bank, stand up, let us read to
these people in your presence why this
cruel war is being waged against Capt.
Clark for introduceing this bill. Let us
tell the voters of this county how much
you owe them, pay attention and see that
we make no mistake for we assure you we
do not wish to make your iniquities larger
than they are. The Collectors books show
that the Citizen Bank rendered for the
year 18S7, $1325. They paid $12.25
taxas.
The Red River County Bank rendered in
1887 813800 and paid #127,50. A. S.
Bailey the prince of money lenders the
largest in the county perhaps out side of
the Banks. I am ashamed to say this now
sweet friend of the poor man who is asking
them to send bim to make laws never ren-
dered a dollar in for the year 1887. Nor
never paid a cent taxes on the vast amount
of money the toiling people of Precinct 3
and 4 were paying him, from 15 to 20 centa
on the dollar for in 1887, nor did he pay a
dollar tax for any one else on money, H.
C. Bailey paid on $400, out side of that no
other person by that name payed one cent
tax on a dollar of money in this county.
Let me give you some more figures, sup-
pose and I expect I am about correct that
the Red River County Bank has $150,000
loaned out. Then it is indebted to the
state of Texas $1387.50 for that would be
the amount of taxes due on a hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Say the Citizen's
Bank has $90,000 loaned out I know this
is not far from corrvt that Bank then is
indebted to the state S832.50. Now this
man Bailey who loves the poor man so well
he will ride a mule forty miles to sleep
with one, must have at a low estimate $30,-
000, loaned out. And be has not done as
well as the Banks for they did pay a little
taxes and he did not pay a cent. He is
justly indebted to the state $276.50 if he
had paid on the amount he had loaned out
if the above amount is correct. He i3 one
man who aught not to grumble abont taxes
for so far he has not paid a cent on the
money he is drawing from 15 i
cent. Now let us add the amount due by

It is claimed by his enemies, that Clars . ^ impress;on that his family had return-
has the "blackest record of any man who —
ever entered the legislature." The peo-
ple wish the truth on this subject.
DOES BAILEY FURNISH THE TKUTH ?
Riding over the county and in his
speech at Old Annona, Bailey asserted
Clark had not attended in the House as
he should have done. He said : '-Dur-
ing the last 31 days of the regular session
Clark was present only five days and was
absent 2t> days, as the journal shows."
This was calculated to make the impres.
sion that Clark performed no duty during
•J6 days of the last 30 days of the session.
The truth is as follows. The House
was in session 72 days, ending April 4th*
Beginning with the 42d day, Feb. 28 we
get the last 31 days. Of these days Clark
was present all day 0 d'lys; present and
voting a part of other 14 days; absent all
day 7 days, and no record of votes 1 day.
Clark proves the untruthfulness of the as-
sertion by reference to the journal.
At Coleman Springs Bailey varies the
the charges and says : '^'During the last
31 days of the regular session, beginning
March 5th and endir.g April 4th, Clark
was present all day only 5 days, and was
absent a part of 26 days, not counting
Sundays, although Clark drew his five
dollars for every Sunday."
HEBE is THE TRUTH.
The Hones Journal does not count Sun.
days so that, from March 5th to April 4th
the journal shows the House j. only 26
days. Of these 26 days, Clark was pres
ent all day 4 days; present and voting a
part of 14 days; absent all day 7 days, and
no vote recorded one day.
When making each of these assertions
did Bniley's friends expect that he wonli
suppress or keep back the fact that Clark
was "excused indefinitely on account o;
sickness" on the 15 ot March, and again
on the 15th of March. His own friends
who heard his statement and who have
been shown the whole truth, are forced to
acknowledge that Bailey does not state the
case so as to do justice to Clark, and there
fore is deceiving the public by such quili-
bling.
Again, Bailey said : "The most im
portant vote is the vote taken when a bil
is on final passage." This may appear to
be true to the majority of people; but all
who will take the trouble to examine the
journal, and all who aretamiliar with the
proceedings of the legislature know that
the vote on final passage is very seldom
the most important vote. When the house
is nearly equally (ivided on a bill, it wil
be contested clear though the three read
ings. But when on second reading or on
engrossment it is found that there is a de
cided majority for or against a bill, the
contest nearly always stops there.and the
final vote is often taken without a record
of it. Attempting to make the people be
lieve that the final vote is the most impor-
tant, he then makes the following singu
lar assertion. "There were one hundred
Editor Standard : I have lived in Red
River county for 43 years, and always
voted what was called the Democratic
ticket, and now as 1 propose to vote tor
Jim Clark for the legislature 1 am called
an anarchist. I am told that the would-
be-governor has said that we are not Dem-
ocrats but anarchists. Now, by what
ttoes he Judge u& 'i Mn4 wo let him judge
for us? Whence his dictatorial power?
is he the grand inogui, and head and cen-
tre of the true Democracy of this county
—a uiau whom iu reconstruction times
was permitted to hold office, aud one of
the very men now supporting Mr. Clark
had to vacate for him. Is this not taint-
ed Democracy, or is it "open, bold and
brave? What is an anarchist? I would and forty eight bills passed into laws by
say, one oi a minority who desires to over-
throw the popular form ot government
ami substitute his own instead. If this
be a true and fair meaning of the wcrd,
then I am no anarchist, for the Clark par
ty were, and are still in the majority.
Well who knows what the future may
bnngforth. The "corpse" may want to
rise again politically in this county, and
if it ever wants new life instilled into its
veins, ot course it will not want any of the
so-called anarchist lite to keep him in his
new being—no never. It would scorn
any such dose for the simple reason that
we have not and never will forget his bit-
ter and public thrusts at us. Why is it
he can't let us support Clark without such
epithets ? We don't care if it is a person-
al matter with them, it is wrong to decoy
us into it—force ns to take sides, and
if we don't take his, he abuses us, if we
do he calls us good Democrats. Oh my !
such Democracy—such a man. God held

passage, (Ihe most important, vote, mar!
you) only about one half of them."
The facts will show how wild, singular
and untennable is this assertion.
Here they are:
In the back part of the journal you wi
find the Synopsis, This synopsis has the
one hundred aud forty-eight laws passei
Look near the bottom of each law and you
find in every case where the final vote was
recorded, a "note" wliien gives the yeas

number there are only forty-three wliic

Not quite one third shows the vote on
final passage. How are we to account for
such a desperate assertion ' The only
way to accounts for it is, that his state-
ments and assertions have been made up
for him by others and he makes them
without knowing whether they are true
or not. Can a man be relied on who
makes such statements as either of the
above.
Bailey said : "Clark takes credit for
having voted for the bill for relief oi
drouth sufferers, but the journal does not
id to Texas."
Clark's letter to the Attorney-General
aid : "My family have been living in the
Nation since A-igust last." Does this
how that they had returned ? Will any
easonable man claim that the letter,
which went before the house, conveyed in
the least, the idea that his family had re-
t nrned to Texas ? Besides, if Clark had
so desired, he could easily have brought
his wife aud children back into Texas,
ibout 10 miles, and then have stated that
they had returned. But Clark never
[nibbles, evades nor dodges any issue.
Ie wanted it settled on its merits alone.
Swam had said he could not hold his seat
nd that be wonld go to Austin and test
t. Clark invited the test, forced the test,
nd the case was decided on its merits
done.
But here the flimsy argument of this
quibbler. "The law says that a man
esides where his wife resides.
Clark's wife resides in the nation,
therfore Clark resides iu the na-
tion," Clark claims his home, his resi-
dence and his citizenship in Texas, in Red
liver ceunty. There is no dispute, no
question as to its being in any other part
of Texas. Even it his wife claimed a
tome and lived on it in Europe, and was
ecognized as a citizen there, it would
in no way affect the fact that Clark was a
i citizen of Red River county, Texas, and
entitled to vote, &e. Texas claims no ju-
isdiction over any one who lives in any
other country. That law is applicable
only to citizens, and in deciding as to
what county or precinct the citizen lives
in. It cm not decide the question as to
whether or not he is a citizen. "'But,"
says Bailey, "this is anew question. It j
isa question of residence tor six months ,
next preceding an election." Is this a!
quibble or is it ignoiance? It is a ques- j
tion of citizenship itself, arising from the j

Now we wish to know, plainly and with- tion and catalogue, apply to
out anv tpiii.bhng. whether or not Bailey
denie- , ing to Baker, that he endorsed
Clark's course and woutd support him if
he should become a candidate; or whether
he denies requesting Baker to write to
Clark and inform him of the statement.
It Bailey denies J squarely that be
told Baker he endorsed Clark's course j
and would support him. then we wish lo i
know from Bailey why lie told ,J. B. Don- j
oho that he endorsed Ctark's course 111;
the legislature aud would support him if
he became a candidate.
Now, the people wish to hear Clark tell
of the lulls which lie introduced and those
which he advocated. They wish to hear
him speak of the legislation which he
thinks will be benelicial to the people in j
the future. I
The people love to hear a mau defend j
fairly his measures and his motives; they |
like to hear him acknowledge his mis-
takes, because it convinces them that he
will try to improve so that, he may make
110 more, and when attacked we like to
hear him defend his actions by reason,not
by appeals to prejudice, by truth not by
misstatements and subterfuges.
At the same time they turn with dis-
gust from him who poses as the Eagle
Bird, but betrays the kind of food he de-
lights in. by his vomit.
St. Louis., July 4.—Governor More-
house was in the city yesterday, and
questioned as to his action upon the Max-
well petition for a commutation of the
death sentence. The Governor refnses
to express himself upon the subject to
newspaper men, but to others he has-
said postively that he would not inter-
fere with the course of the law. Yester-
day the doomed man's niothlr and sister
paid him another visit at the Four Courts.
They were much more cheerful in ap
pearancc than on their previous visit.
Maxwells attorney says that his mother
and sister will probably await the result
of his argument before the Governor on
the petition for clemency before they
make a last appeal.
