genntor Coko,
Tn an interview with a rorrorlor
of tho Gnlvoston News tho othor
day, Sonalor Coko said 5 f
"Tlmtlho Prohibition party is a
political organizaliorV'can not bo

ganization, holds national conven-
tions, promulgates platforms and
prcsonts candldatos for prosidonl
nnd vico-prosidont. Its distinctive
prinelplos, sot out in its platform,
nro prohibition of tho manufncluro
and sale of intoxicants, and tho es-
tablishment of fomalo suffrago in tho
Unitod States. Tho platform ''ro-
locates" to tho discretion of tho
party in tho sovoral States tho qnos-
tion of fomalo suffrago, to bo Insist
ed on or not, "accoiding to tho con
union ot public sontimont."

fuithcr says: I havo boon
h inconsistency, in thai
rd tbo adoption of tho
bnstitulion, containing a
option clauso, and ns go- 01 nor
signod tho local option law. Tho
ohaigo is groundless. I was gover-
nor of tho Stato when tho constitu-
tion was mado in convention. Tho
convention, after concluding its la-
bors, adjourned and wont home. It
loll tbo peoplo of Toxas mysolf
among tho number to chooso bo-
twoon tho now constitution and tho
Republican constitution of 1800. I
choso and votod for tho piesont con-
stitution, with all its dol'ects, as tho
bettor of tho two. I advocntod tho
now constitution boforo tho pcoplo,
always with tho qualifications that
it had many dofects, but that it was
preferable to tho old one. Tho local
option clauso in tbo constitution was
mandatory upon tho Jjogislaturo, re.
quiring at tho first session of that
body tho passage of a law 6Uoh as
wo now have. 1, asgovornor, boing
a part of tho law-raakioc power, and
having taken an oath to support that
constitution, was of course bound to
oboy it and sign tho law, which
I did.
Tho spoeinl frionds of local option
in this county, havo good reason to
icjoico that thoy hold their olection
boforo tho leading democrats of tho
Stato bocamo alarmed at tho dan-
ger to democracy which lurked bo-
hind tho prohibition movomont.
Wo aro gonorous enough to boliovo
lhatalaigo majoiity of thoso who
voted for tho mcasuro, homcstly be-
lieved that thoy woro doing right.
Its ndvocatos ignprod its political
nspoet, although warned through tho
Star by a correspondent over tbo
signaturo-of VDomoorat" in our
iseiio of Fob. 14tb, and Feb. 28th.
At that early dato it could not bo
oxpoctod that tho pooplo would pay
much attention to tho fooblo voico
of a homo writor, Now, it is differ-
ent. Coko, Maxsy, Mills, Eoagan,
Ross, Throckmorton and othor
slato colobrotios homo spoken. If
wo intond to continue idontifiod
with tho Domporatio parly, wo will
fall into lino and horoaitor closely
scan all isms which may in tho iuturo
olaim our support.

Tho Hows this wpok gives roniK-
nonoo to an arliolo from tho Olarks-
villo Standard on tho political
situatWih our Stato. Tho vcnorahlo
editor of that paper 1ms heretofore
been regarded as an ablo and rcliablo
exponent of the principles advocated
by tho democratic parly. Ho is no
longer In accord with our statesman.
Tlio blight of sentimontalism has
clouded a onco brilliant intollcot, so
muoh 'so indeed, that it is painful to
read his recent rhapsody.
Among other things ho predicts that
tho Demooraoy of Texas may bo divid-
ed into two wings in tlio future. Ho
need have no fears in rapeot to that.
Tho "suniplinrics" as ho calls the pro-
hibition faction, will naturally drift
away from tho democracy and bo ab-
sorbed by tho National Prohibition
