TBI ITATB CrtlTKRSITY'.
The- Galeton Newt makes an at
t:mpt to ridicule recommendations of
the Governor as to tho esta' UfhmeLt
of a Slate University which . is in
favor of inaugurating at the earliest
moment possible at Austin. Tbe
Houston Pott looks upon .this question
more generously and would build
ud instead of tear down interests
fronght with so much advantage to the
people of Texas. There are now on
band invested in bonds for the benefit
of the urjv?reity fund $200000.
besides a remainder on tbe fifty
leagues of land originally set
aside in Northern Texas for the pur-
pose of establishing a State University.
There was also set aside by the Six
teenth legislature for tbia purpose
1.000 000 acres of land. With this ac
cumulated capital and a large prospec
tive fund tbe Governor properly
enough takes tbe position that the
state no longer bs a right to divert
this money from the purposes for which
it was set aside. He is opposed to the
present generation being denied all
benefits from tbia fund in the interest
of those who come hereafter and here
it wbere the New attempts to put in
some smart comment as to the fossil-
ized condition of the present adminis-
tration. Bit it makes not a particle
difference what tbe Neut thinks as to
the fossilized or fogyized' character ot
the gray-haired sage who so honestly
administers the affairs of state. No
faction with even the powerful aid of
the New can ever turn the Alcalde
away from what he conceives to be bis
duty as Governor lie speaks and acts
upon conscientious sentiments always
in the interest of popular good n.t
for individual and partisan purpose?
as tbe Neut would probably have him
act tnd hence while the one great
mass approves tbe faction disproves.
Tbe constitution of 1846 located the
S a'.e University at Austin and the
one of 1870 left tbe question nndis-
tuibed and it remained for the con
vention of 1875 to reopen it and send
it back to the people for future decis-
ion and expensive popular strife. A
magnificent site wss set aside for the
University and it has been held by
the state for this purpose since Aus-
tin was made the seat of government.
constitutional amendment appca-s
necessary before my thing may proper-
ly be do ae ani no doubt this will be
provided for by the Seventeenth Legis-
lature and the timely discussion of the
matter brought about by the Gover-
nor will procure much popular ex-
pression touching the matter. The
Port savs tbe Governor is un
willing that the beginning of this great
work be indefinitely postponed until
an accumulation of funds be made suf-
ficeut to erect the university out of
land ; but proposes that ground be
broken as soon as possible and that
the work be carried on currently as the
means will allow so that the present
generation may after a lapse of forty
years from the original grant enjoy
something of the benefits expected to
accrue. Governor Roberts is in favor
of the erection of one great building
to be located at Austin equipped
merely for purposes of class instruc-
tion -etc. the students to find board
and lodging in town and gives certain
reasons why be thinks that a prompt
and ewnest inception of this matter
will conduce greatly to the beBt inter
ests of the state. Tbe foal entirely
agrees with his excellency as to the
benefits to be derived from the estab
lishment of the State University and
binks his suggestions as to immediate
entrance upon the matter and the loca-
tion of tbe institution are valuable.and
should meet with careful consideration
on the part of the people. There are
many and patent arguments in favor of
the state capital but the pulse of the
people has not been really felt so far
on the question.
THB POLITIC AX. CHAMELEON
ERRORS CORRECTED. .
On tbe sixth of May 1879 Col
Lang was not a candidate for Gover
nor but held an appointment under
Governor Roberts and it was then he
gave utterance to tbe following through
tbe columns of the Galveston Ifemi
Governor Roberta veto is eminently
correct. It gives an impressive earn-
estness of an honest admistration and
shows an appreciation of his duties
and obligations to tbe people. He was
elected upon a platform of economy
and full v realizes the necessity of re
form. With a distinctness of purpose
he in the plainest manner exposed tbe
true financial condition of tne atate
and tbe legislature conld but compre
hend it. Tbe responsibility was upon
it to provide the necessary relief and
if it feiled it was but just that Gover-
nor R tberts should place the responsi
bility whera it rightfully belonged. The
veto though plain ana simple in com
position is a remarkable state paper
perspicuous and forcible in tbe enunci
atwu of true and correct principles
It ia opportune. It is necessary that
me period should work a change in
the state financial system and it is
wall now. The people should uphold
the Governor in the sincerity of his
purpose to promote tbe general interest
of toe country
On the twelfth of April 18S0 at
Marlin'CoL Lwg wrote a leng letter
for publication in the Waco Telephone
in which be said:
He baa mistaken the wishes and ex
pectations of tne people. They de
manded that no further debu abonld
be created ; that no deficiencies should
be made; but they did not anticipate
that this policy should be inaugurated
by reaching out in every poes-le man
ner. and through every ingenious de
vice to place tuitber burdens upon tbe
people. They expected it to be done
through the most rigid economy of tbe
present resources of tbe state limiting
expenditure to the lowest practical
ooint of ctucient government lbev
have paid nearly one million dollars
more into tne treasury the first year of
bis administration tbaduting any pre
vious year in tao tutory cf the state.
Under the bigh taxation the public
schools hare been denied their consti
tntional quota which would hare gone
directly ba:k to tne people in tbe eon
cation of their children. The credit
of the state was for the time impaired
crime baa been no better repressed nor
nunitbed property no better protected.
development no more stimulated and
commerce no mere encouraged. No
wonder tbe peoole grow -restive and
discontented under a constantly in
creasing taxation without some return
in tniciency in government
CoL Lang in his attack on Governor
Roberts makes no reference to the
pay menu made upon the statedebtcr to
the cssh now in the state treasury. Oca
amounts to tboct t ICO 000 which will
be increased to $153000 en the first of
September; tie other la also about

J amounting to about f 153CfrO most be
I paid. The present deficiency is about
$20000 which would have been pre
rested bad the enemies of the Gover
nor led by Bab Taylor not concluded
to cramp tbe government all in their
power by making insufficient appropri
ationa. Had the appropriations been
made aa the Governor atked
there would have been no de
ficiency claims. It ia the lack
of - appropriation and ' not of
money that causes any claims to re-
main unsettled. Tbe extraordinary
expenses of government for the last
year bave been greater than for many
years past The absolute expenses of
government for tbe year have been
over $300000 less thaa for the year
previous. Tbe enormous deficiency of
the last' administration has been paid
in full and a vast deal of permanent
work has been dono for the state.
STOP 6CCH PROFLIGACY.
Col. Tom Scott is charged with hav-
ing lately said that it was a good thing
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany that the Texas and Pacific rail-
way failed to get a subvention in mon-
ey from Congress. There is an enig-
matical feature however connected
with his remark. He said this plan of
building a railway is not an economical
one and whether he meant that the ex
pense of secaring a congressional sub
sidy was apt to consume all the money
given cannot be understood. The
average congressman does -not get rich
so very fast and hence we must conclude
that Col. Scott was simply affected with
'sour grapes" and really did not
mean as did Uovernor Uoke not long
after he was inaugerated what he
said. But it is curious to look into
tbe bibtury of the Texas and Pacific as
a trans-continental road and see bow
dilly-dallying upon the question of
subsidies has probably affected its con-
struction. Hid the Texas and Pacific
Company since it was d rmed pursued
a similar courssto that followed by the
Southern Pacific railway it would
long since htve reached its terminal
point on the Pacific coast. Long years
ago it was claimed in the interest cf a
trans-c.ntinental line that the govern-
ment should aid in its construction and
it was done and ever since this we
hive seen' the plea presented that tbe
government owes it to build up com
peting lines. As Col. Scott expresses
himself it were best that the tranE-con-
tlnental system be now left to take care
of itself. A bill has lately been presented
in Congress callirjg for a forfeiture of
all lands held as reservations for trans
continental lines that have not com
plied with the provisions of their char-
ters but the same bill provides that
tho lands shall be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied to the construction of
these same roads for which the knds
were reserved. The Northern Pacific
and the Texas and Pacific however
are not satisfied with even this friendly
legislation and insist that tbe lands
shall still be reserved for their control
and their old charters extended so as
to give them time to build under their
provisions. In the mean time it is be
ing demonstrated mat private enter
prise may be depended upon to butld
trans-continental railways and the days
of subsidies for such purposes should
have an end. A bill now before Con
gress gives the Texas and Pacific com
pany six yeara further time to complete
its road from Marshall Texas to the
Pacific and of course revives and eon
tinues the grant of land 35600 acres
for every mile of road subject to the
right of actual settlers on such land to
purchase a certain quantity thereof at
a fixed price. The company ha3 con
structed about one-seventh of its road
from Marshall westward and for this
and for the remainder of its road yet
to be built within Texas it receives
from the state of Texas a large quanti
ty of land. If the bill pass tbe effect
of tbe law would be to contiriu the
grant to the company of public lands
beyond the state of Texas on the line
bevond El Paso to the ocean. This in
cludes lands on the line as laid down
across the whole territory of Arizona
where not a spadeful of earth has been
turned by the' company or a single
thing done to perform the agreement
by which it secured the grant while
across the territory of Arizona a rail
road haB been nearly finished. The
Southern Pacific Company has laid its
tracks substantially parallel with the
route of tbe Texas and Pacific Compa
ny and not far from the tracks of the
latter company should its tracks ever
be laid. It is asserted that within
three hundred days the Southern Pact
fic will have its. road in running order
from Yuma at the western lice of An-
ions tb El Paso on the Rio Grande.
It does. seem to us that no conceivable
gronnd of public policy can be present
ed why a subsidy to build - a railroad
where one is already built should be
granted. It is pertinently said that
the argument for railroad subsidies is
that they will open new regions for set
tlement by our thrifty and energetic
population and contribute to the wealth
of the nation the products ot hitherto
unoccupied lands; but what becomes
of tbe argument when these regions are
already opened t Does not tbe conten
tion grow ridiculous when it is seen
that tbe passage of tbe bill will actually
postpone the occupation of the lands.
to which an eager population may be
admitted by means of the road already
built t Finally is not tbe crowning ab
surdity fastened upon tbe whole .dis
cussion by the fact that the road a!
ready built has .not cost the' govern
mont an acre of land and that not an
acre is asked for it while for.the road
hich ia not built the government is
asked to give millions of acres? The
bill before Congress is opposed by the
Southern Pacific Company on the
ground that it does not desire to ec
counter a rival in the field which it has
already worked a rival which shall re
ceive government aid where itself se
cures no aid. The case of tbe North
ern Pacific road Is a similar rne pri
vate enterprise proposing to bu ll and
bow really building a line along
its western route while it asks en or
mous subsidies from the government to
do what others would do with private
means. In Texas we bave been prom-
iaed a subsidized Pacific railway for
twenty years and whi'e this one his
been dragging along its slow coarse
the Southern Pacific cornea thundering
along from California promising
eighteen months to give us a real
Southern line. Tbia road will come
on to San Antonio and thence
it will have its connection
our own gulf coast and
New. Orleans and the whole Southern
system. Justice a lonld makeCongrea

either divide the lands equally between
both roads or since one dots coi

A correspondent of the New York
World writing from Boston refers
20st hopefully to the condition of De
mocracr in the Biv State. Certain it
is aiya the writer that there baa been
a steidy accretion to the Democratic
ranks going oi for a number of years
past. In 1867 the state cast a total
Democratic rote of about 40000 while
at the last state election under tbe
pressure of a sharp local excitement
he rote in opposition to the Re
publican machine mounted to 110-
000. With the single exception of
Gaston who went in on the
cry of anti-prohibition. Massa-
chusetts has had a long series of
Republican rulers. There are many
plans of reform in the state law which
the Democrats look forward to accom-
plishing when the state shall fall into
their bands and while some of tbe
leaders think it of small use to make
tbe grand struggle for the capture of
thestate in this a presidential year oth-
ers and a majority of them are in fa-
vor of striking now of making tbe
present the accepted time and particu-
larly of taking advantage of any mis-
take make by Republicans at Chicago.
As to preferences ot the delegates to
the Cincinnati convention be makes
an individual review of each one of
them and shows that out of twenty-
one delegate eighteen declare for
Biyard and it is even believed by
many that tbe nomination of the Del-
aware statesman would eo enthuse the
Democracy of Massachusetts as to give
them a victory at the coming election.
There are no bounds to the informa
tion of some men. They know all
that has been or could bave been and
many things that could not possibly
have been. We are called upon to re-
flect in this wise by the startling an
nouncement contained in the Fort
Worth Denwcrat that the court ot ap
peals has twice affirmed the Krebs &
Preston case. The court said: "The
defendants were twice convicted by a
jury of their fellow men. The court of
last resort twice reviewed tbe cases and
conformed the verdictedof the juries."
How the same jury got two chances at
the defendants is not explained but it
is no doubt true for the Democrat
knows. The Democrat ought by all
means to haye explained bow the court
happened twice to affirm the case.
The point is a new thing in the juris
prudence of the state and what tbe
second confirmation was for it is im
possible to understand. We must also
confess our indebtednefS to the Demo
crat for the additional information.
that "the deficiency appropriations
which will be asked of the Seventeenth
Legislature will make the cash balance
in the State Treasury have a gaunt and
attenuated appearance." It does not
explain how it is going to run the
present deficiency of $50000 to up-
wards of $350000. But of course it
can prove anything in some way.
When it tells what is coming to pass
when it speculates in futuity it is al-
together aa reliable as when it - oracu
larly announces what has occurred in
the past especially in the courts.
Rev. Mr. Briggs of Galveston has
been attacking Col. Bob Ingtrsoll in
an elaborately prepared lecture deliv
ered in Galveston. From the synopsis
given in the JVr the lecturer appears
to have contented himself with per
sonal comments on the life character
and garbled utterances of tbe dis
tinguished infidel without in any very
formidable manner attacking the great
body of argument against religion con
tained in Ingersoll's published works
The most pretentious and finished pas
sage in Mr. Briggs' lecture is an almost
literal transcript of the most eloquent
passage in Daniel Webster's great ar
gument in the Girard will case. Cer
tainly if a man wants to borrow
fine language he can go to no more re
spectable source for inspiration but
we question the morality of the pro
ceeding under any circumstances. In
bur opinion the pulpit is responsible
for such men as Ingersoll. The aver
age preacher is a prolific cause of infi
delity ' and the utttrances of clerical
stupidity and intolerance have raised
up men like Bob IogerBoll who echo
the prayer of Voltaire that " The time
may come when the last king will be
strangled with the entrails of the last
priest." .
The Galycston board of health has
declared In favor of absolute non-in
tercourse with all Infected places but
permits tbe president of tbe board to
decide whether the admission of any
vessel is dangerous or not and to act
accordingly. Dr. Dowel! who has
studied yellow fever and its habits
more carefully probably than any man
now living and who is now in Austin
declares that absolute non-intercourse
is the only safeguard against the
scourge. History Das proren this tacr
even within the tropics authority be-
ins all in favor of this doctrine that
the non-intercoarse plan seems the only
reallv safeguard. Dr. Dowell has been
engaged for some years on a book set
ting forth statistical facts and histori-
cal points regarding all the known epi
demies. In his labors he has consulted
all works touching upon them printed
not oply in English but in French and
Italian and Spanish and Portuguese
tbe latter two languages being espe-
cially rich in literature upon yellow
fever.
The Statesman is indebted to the
authoress. Miss Florence M. Gerald of
Wacr for a copy of 'Adhetiheim and
Other - Poems." The elegant little
book' containing a rery fine picture of
Miss Gerald has just oeen received by
mail and we have had time only to
glance through 5U pages and to recog
size many of tbe poetical treasures al
ready familiar tb newspaper readers.
Miis Gerald's thoughts are aa. pure as
the breezes that sweep over broad
Texas and aa free aa its open prairies
are limitless. The book 'containing
231 pages handsomely printed and
bound by b S:. Louis bouse should
occupy places in the libraries of all
who would encourage home talent inch
as ia possessed by Miss Gerald. It msy

Thx 3tte ot Texas ia certing oa the
anarp horta or a dilemmt. Tbe com
mutations of tbe Oovertor if we ac
cept them as correct n A . only prove
the innocence of the commuted but
also the incompetency of jurors and
tbe incapacity of cur diitrict and su
preme court jadees. If Governor
Roberta is correct onr jadiciary is an-
sfe and unreliable anu we shall not
regret it if every one condemned to
capital punishment is commuted. The
occurranCe of so many cases of men
condemned to death hose guilt was
uncertain or in which the judges and
appellate court erred according to the
commutations clouds every conviction
in the state. Examiner.
Such an expression coming from a
generally reasonable paper like the Ex-
aminer does it anything but credit.
There are two modos of punishment
provided by law for tbe cases to which
the Examiner refers tbe one death
tbe other imprisonment for life. The
Governor in twenty-two cases after
thoroughly examining all the points
has concluded that in oight of them
what is in law regarded as the lesser
of the two punishments should be in-
flicted instead of the greater and when
the Examiner discusses (he question
in the light of innocence one would
suppose the Governor had granted par-
dons instead of commutatious. It is
too absurd.
The Waller County Courier says the
opponents of free schools lose sight of
all but the poor man's interest. The
spirit of the Texas iathars in establish
ing free education in Texas long be-
foie the war was entirely in the in-
terest of tbe poor leaving it to the rich
to pay tuition for themselves. Prof.
B. J. Smith of Austin who has taught
school between thirty and torty years
in Texas tells that before the war he
taught many most estimable girls un-
der the provisions of the old law ; that
tbe representation authorizing public
money to be used for them was made
to the county court and that he regular
ly received pay from the state for these
young ladies many of whom are now
ornaments to society. There was no
noise made about the matter of tuition
on the part of the state and tbe pay
was regularly drawn' for the state pu-
pils. There was no folly about the
matter and the tuition was as ably and
honestly extended as though the high
est rates of . tuition bad been paid. J
This law was provided by the property
class of Texas for poor people and it
was used to advantage in the interest
i
of all who laid claim to the fund.
The late presidential veto seems to
hurt nobody but Mr. Hayes who ia
severely commented upon even by the
Republican press in consequence. The
Democrats seem wise enough too to
take advantage of tbe opportunity pre
sented to make their proposition unas
sailable. They will send tbe bill back
to tbe President without political rider
to which he took exception but also
without any appropriation for the mar
shals. Then will be passed the section
relating to the appointment of deputy
marshals as a separate bill to which the
argument of bis veto message will not
apply and he cannot refuse an assent
to a law proposed by the Republican
leader in the House without making
himself still further ridiculous. If he
do so tbe House will of course refuse
any appropriations for deputy marshals
and tbe responsibility will rest with
the President. If be sign the bill be
will have enabled Democrats to do a
just thing in the right way which they
tried to do in tbe wrong way and re
main consistent.
The Corsicana Courier objects to
Houston and favors Dallas as the place
for the meeting of the State Demo
cratic Convention in consequence of
Houston being in the yellow fever belt
But let us understand about Dallas
fleas. If they are half as voracious as
those of Corsicana Houston is pretera-
ble upon the two questions. ' Houston
has many advantages over other cities
tor such a meeting and this reference to
yellow fever when for years Houston
has been one of the most healthy of
all Texas cities is ungenerous in the
extreme. The Age says :
There has not been a case of yellow
fever in Houston for thirteen years
and there very probably will not be a
case for thirteen yeara to come. As to
being in the " belt" so is Dallas and
Corsicana. Neither of those places is
by latitude or altitude more favorably
situated than Holly Springs or Mem
phis or than LaUrange in tbe moun
tains on tbe Colorado it is not the
"belt" but rigid quarantine that
solves the yellow fever problem. Dr
Rutherford as a yellow fever preven
tive is equal to three first class frosts
or to a latitude of so. 40.
The editor of the Gonzales Enquirer
Biys:
Entering tbe court house one day
this week we found seven men con
gregated around a table wbere Sheriff
Bass was selling lands for delinquent
taxes. Of the seven men three were
officers and two lawyers and land
agents We heard tbe sheriff call out
over luuu acres taxes $14 ana costs
and beard that sum. ottered bv one
lawyer. We don't - blame the officers
The law does not require notice of
sale and description of land to
be printed bat only to-be posted
and we presume the sheriff
had done bis duty in that
respect. But we ask u tbe
whole thing' is not a miserable farcel
We doubt if twenty men in the county
knew the sale was to be made. Many
a poor hard-working man has probably
been sold out. and is in blissful igncr
ance of the fact. We frequently re
ceive letters from abroad requesting
copy of the paper containing the tax
list. The coBt of- advertising is very
small and in that wav evervbod v is ad
vised of the proceedings of law and
many men. being thus pertinently no
tified promptly pay the taxes and save
thejeosta. Tbe Seventeenth legislature
will be called on to remedy this eviu
Nicaragua has granted a concession
for the construction of an inter-oceanic
shin canal through the territories of
that republic to an American company
No details of tbe grant are given cor
are we told whether the government of
Costa Rica which claims certain
rights over a considerable portion of
the Ban Jain route through Nicaragua
has or has not united with Nicaragua
in making it. If the company which
has secured the concession ha been
organized upon the basis of tbe Views
so often and so fully presented to the
public by Admiral Ammen and Mr
Henocal it ia possible that tbe preai
dency ot the enterprise msy be ten
dered to Gen Grant and in that case
the friends of Mr. Blaine and Mr.
Sheridan will so doubt make baste to
fill U p the tubtcri ption boks. s

hardly any punishment known to

texas politics:
Democratic clubs are beicg fornud
ia McLennan countv.
The Ttleijratu tavs: "The AImii
mer is indiynaiit ut the rumor of
Laap's withdrawal. Nobody believes
it. Lang wilf never 'draw' nor with-
draw until the Sijcrs' booia euuulf
him."
The Colorado Cituen very propt-rj
ly says: "That attack of Mr. Holt cf
Liberty county upon Hon. Johu Il-ir.-
cock at tho statu convention du'n not
appear to meet with the approval gen-
erally of the Texas press. Tbcv aro of
the opinion that the war is over."
The Stephensville Empire says:
The race for attorney general from
recent developments will bo between
Templeton and McLvarr with the
former decided ly in the leal. It ia said
that Alexander's 'conspicuousne ss' in
the late Galveston convention has killed
his chances forever.
The Dallas Time says : "Ia con
versation with a dozen or more gen-
tlenmen from cs mmy different coun-
ties within the hst two or three day
eyery one without a solitary exctj-
tion says that Governor Riberts i&
overwhelming the choice of bis couuty.
Those counties lie north northeast and
west from Dallas."
The Age ia re'erricg to the prt?-
8an make-up of the Tt Xia delegation
to Chicago eays "Ddvia liatea Grant
right cordially and he bas ressm to
hato him. B.caue when Coke hud
boat Div.s by neaily a huudrcd thou-
sand majority Grant wuld not use the
army and navy of the Uoite l SUu-s to
keep Davis in the gubt material chair."
The Palestiue" AJcocate Jates tie
effort of Col. Lang to become governor
fioru the day that he became M astir
of the State GriDje. It says: "The
body of the people talk about tcheming
politician? lawyers etc. while thv
do not realize the fact that in W. W.
L"ng the so called chumpion -f tht:
labnnng men they b6veas wily a poll
tician and as covetom an nilice-sceker
a any politician m Tex. S:i iaris
the Grange itself is concerned if it ii
of benefit to the farmerp we ucq'.iaii-
fiedly say let them foster it. But
should they not hesitatebeforecirrying
a man who lias only espoused their
cause to ride into office on it3 back?"
The. Dintou Couuty Jtewd says:
' There ha3 been more criminals exe
cute. on tne callows in this state eincc
Roberts has been governor thuii ever
before known let seme peop.e are
not satisfied and condemn the (iover-
nor for commuting the ftentence1? of
those that have beeo commuted. Gov
ernor Hubbtrd commuted mora aenten-
ces and pardoned more criminals than
Roberts yet we heard no such a howl
raised against him.' The oppmscta of
Roberta are seeking to make cipital
to defeat the honest old -Governor for
the nomination and nothing rrorc
But in thia they will make an ignomin-
ious failure Roberts ia as sure to ho
the next governor of Texas as the eua
shines.
There is much significance ia
many of the candidacies for places in
the Seventeenth Legislature which will
be called upon to elect a United iSr.atf s
Senator to succeed Senator M;xey.
Maxey Throckmorton Mill3 and IUti-
gan are known to be candidates. Al-
ready there are eeveral of the stroug-eit-of
senator Maxey's friends iu the
field for election to the legislature
and among them no better cr purer
men than Capt. H. W. Ligblfoot the
Senator's law partner. fOL him the
North Texan says: "We do not Lelieve
that he desires the place. Wo believe
that he would prefer to remain at home
and attend to the duties of his profes-
sion and we do not claim that we do
him a favor by thus bringing bim be-
fore tbe people in this coDntction; but
we do believe that the people of this
district "havo need of hira" and he
will not cannot refuse to Berve them.
There is a purity f character about
the man that gives him prestige all over
the district nud that coupled with hia
fine ability binds him to our people by
a chain that cannot be broken and
makes him the strongest man in the
district. .
Again we are reminded by the
Telephone that Col. Lng has. never an-
nounced himself a candidato for gov-
ernor. He has only said' that it bis
fellow-citizsns deem bim qualiCol to
fill the position and call him to it he
will serye them to tbe best of bia abil-
ity. The Telephone says : " Whatever
of aspimtions he may cherish are leit
imate and about as modestly expressed
as is customary with men who dabble
in politics. We canoot but consider
Mr. Lang as much an aspirant fcs he
bas ever been. With reference to his
taking the second place on the ticket
with the present governor that is a
contingency that we cannot regard as
at all profcable ard Shardly possible
even. Taking Mr. Line's recent letter
to tbe Telephone as a reliable expnsr
tion of bis views on matters of stale
policy and we find that he cannot
stand on the same platform
with uovernor- liobrts without
exhibiting a degree of inconsistency
that would prove damaging to hW repu
tation .and fatal t .his aspiration
Hs could not after what he bas writ
A OP .
ud anora o enter into such a coali
tion. He would be distrusted by all
factions and not trusted by any. E-t
ter a bold earnest contest -on the p !i-
cy be bad marked out eve though
defeated thin to sustain defeat by
reason of fickleness ani instability.
Mr Lang certainly considers tl! thee
points and will shape his policy ac
cordingly lie may aecioe mat it is
not t his interest to continue ia tie
fiild as a willing recipient cf tie gu
bernatorial nomination tut it is bard
ly within the bounds of probability
that be will deem it to bit interest to
recant bis former expressions of senti
ment endorse tbe Roberts policy aad
take a subordinate position cn the
Roberts ticket. Though not a bri'.-
liant man granger Lang doe Eot l&ck
common sense."
