It is claimed that there are several
republicans in George Clark's non-
partisan business men's club at
Waco.
There is a big disk of '-bilod
crow" in store for the Galveston
News and a few other would-be governor-makers
among the press.
The counties continue to instruct
for Hogg. Harrison county is one
of the latest. It also declares its
preference for Col. BuckKilgore.
Dn. Douglas the physician who
attended Gen. Grant in his last
sickness is now poor -and is a pa-
tient in one of the New York hospit-
als. The republicans in the national
liouse of representatives gave Bynurn
democrat of Indiana a big boost for
the speakership in the next congress
by attempting to apply the gag to
'fciin.
Tfe "Waco Day says there are too
many "if s" in Lieut-Gov. Wheeler's
address and thinks he would have
done himself a favor by staying out
of the race for the gubernatorial
sweepstakes. "&
The Washington Post says -that if
Senator Blair's speech and Senator
Quay's silence could be turned into
the federal mint the coinage ques
tion would be settled for the next
toe years.
Gov. "Wheeler is very candid in
stating his position on the question
of the railway commission. The rail-
way s according to him do not. need
regulation but the commission is
needed just to quiet agitation.
The darkey gets left as usual.
The most prominent -candidate for
tho governorship of Oklahoma was
a colored man ex-auditor of Kansas.
-But Harrison appointed a carpet-
bagger from his own state to fill the
place. .
The La Grange journal takes the
same view of the withdrawal of Gov.
'Throckmorton that the Baxnek does.
Ho was no ddubr genuinely sick
but at the same tune he saw that
Gen. Hogg had the bulge and recog-
nized the handwriting on the wall.
The contest promises to be right
lively at the polls this fall. There
will probably be four tickets in the
field namely:. The democratic ticket
the republican ticket the prohibition
ticket and the tail-end George Clark
non-partisan business men's ticket.
The Providence Journal says that
"Murat Halstead is again distin-
guishing himself as the most emi-
nent fly gobbler in tho "United
States by giving his editorial in.
dorsement to the political charac-
' tors df Matthew S. Quay and Thomas
C. Piatt."
Since the roailrad champions have
formed anti-commission clubs why
should not the champions of tho peo-
ple form pro-commission clubs? But
instead of- calling them non-partisan
clubs and inviting everbody of what-
ever political faith who is"agin" the
railroads to join let them be known
strictly as democratic clubs.
Th2 dispatches aunounce that a
man dropped dead in Spokane the
other day on bib way to the post-
office to mail his wife a letter telling
Jier he was well. No doubt he was
making the best of her absence by
going on a protacted whizz and
dropped dead at the thought of the
deception ho was practicing on her.

the presidency and the peorlo liked
lint for it.

Times must be very dull and news
scarce around the Galveston Nws
office. Otherwise it is difficult to
understand -why it should have sur-
rendered so much of its valuablo
space to R. 31. Hall's speech.
The Louisiana lottery has offered
a bribe of one million dollars a year
for twenty-five years for an exten-
sion of its charter that number of
years. The offer includes one hun-
dred thousand per annum to the city
o New Orleans and nine hundred
thousand to the state for levees and
charities.
..
"Well done for Minister Terrell.
Only recently a comparatively ob-
scure citizen of San Antonio Texas
in which ho -was defeated for the of-
fice of mayor he has sprung into
prominence as an international char-
acter on account of the firm stand
taken by him at the Congo confer-
ence. It is said that some of the mis.
sionaries in Africa are greatly
troubled by the fact that the natives
are not at all eager to adopt the
dress of -white men. Not even the
converts are willing to wear the
amount of clothing which according
to the missionary ideas is essential
to respectability.
Tt. is renorted that Col. Wash
Jones will be an independent candi-
date for governor in the event of
Hogg's nomination. Luling Signal.
The Signal is slightly mistaken.
Probably the report that he would
run for governo"r originated from his
being talked of as the candidate of
tho "non-partisan business men's
club"' party.
There is no reasonable prospect
that the President will veto the Gal-
veston harbor appropriation. If it
was simply a local matter or only
concerned the people of Texas it
would undoubtedly stand but little
show. But it is a matter in which
the whole northwestern part of tho
United' States is interested and he
cannot afford to veto the apprOpria-
tion. The Austin Statesman pays a
richly merited compliment to an
honored son of Washington county
as follows:
The Post in double-leaded editorial
announces authoritatively that the
Hon. Seth Shepardwill not be a can-
didate for governor. Mr. Shepard
is a typical representative oi ine
younger Democracy is a superb man
all around and would make an ele
gant governor.
Mr. Shepard has hosts of warm
friends and. enthusiastic admirers in
every village town and hamlet in
Texas who would go the length of
voting foi him on a platform favor-
ing even giving up the soil of this
country to the negroes and shipping
all the whites to Africa. Yet there
are many of these friends who would
give him their support with a heavy
heart on a square-out flat-footed
anti-railway commission platform.
The attempt to injure Gen. Hogg
in his race for governor by claiming
that all the riff-raff elements and the
different isms that are opposed- to
democracy are rallying to his sup-
port is as silly as the conclusion de-
sired to be reaohed is impotent and
lame. If "anything is proved by
such a line of argument it is that
Mr. Hogg will make a governor for
all Texas and of whom all Texas
should feel proud. He is u native
of the state and represents the ideas
of not only a majority of the people
but of the democratic party.
