JudgeZ. P. Fullmore of Austin Tex-
as one of Hogg's campaign executive
committee stated the other day that
"in the minds of all fair-minded men
the contest of Taylor county was set-
tled at Lampasas." This is pretty
good evidence that the bolting Hogg
faction will not cut any great figute in
any of the other conventions.
Attention W. T. P. A.
The secretary has sent out a circu-
lar letter from the president stating
when and where the next meeting of
this association will be held not only
to members but to all papers in the
district with a request for an immedi-
ate answer in regard to whether they
would attend or not and has already
several answers stating that the writers
-would be present. The answers how-
ever are not coming in fast enough.
"We want the information for the ben-
efit of the executive committee so
give this matter your immediate atten-
tion and address your replies to.
M.J. Cox. Sec.
Abilene Tex.
The Austin Statesman is in high
glee over the nomination of Cleveland
and jubilates thusly: And Cleveland
is nominated! Never in the memory
of roan has there been such a triumph
for purity in politics. On the one side
was this man who not only absolutely
Tefused to declare himself a candidate
declaring that the presidency was the
people's office not to be fought for or
scrambled for but has gore steadily
on with his every day life as far re-
moved as possible from all the clamor
and uproar. On the other side was at
least one man who believed that the
presidency -was for the sharpest trick-
ster and shrewdest schemer that could
manipulate conventions and capture
states for the purpose ot getting it.
On the one side was Cleveland de-
claring himself opposed to a measure
that was at the time of his declaration
one of the pet measures of his party.
On the other side were half a ' dozen
men indorsing the views of the party
and at least one man who was ready
and willing to believe anything his
party wanted him to believe. Yet on
the one side was this Cleveland every
inch a man honest upright deter-
mined one of the grandest figures of
The peoples party have placed a full
state ticket in the field headed by
Judge Nugent for governor and Marion
Martin for lieutenant governor. This
is considered a very strong ticket by
the opposition as well as themselves
and will probably catch all those who
are dissatisfied with the democratic
party as well as a great many from the
republican and democratic parties.
Now that the contest for governor
is practically settled in this county the
friends of Judge Clark should not cease
their efforts in his benalf but should
use their influence in adjoining counties
where primaries have not been held
The battle is not near over and it will
require an earnest effort on the part of
those opposed to the present adminis-
tration to land their candidate a
winner.
Texas Farm & Ranch has added a
new feature to its columns a horse de-
partment under the management of J.

& Ranch is the leading agricultural
paper of the state and is in marked
contrast to those so-called farm papers
that are filled with political vapor-
ings and plate matter and in conse
quence deserves the hearty support of
every farmer in the state.
Hogg's 'Veracity.
The Granbury News draws compar-
ison on Mr. Hogg thus:
"Gov. Hogg says the railroad em-
ployees have been coerced into oppos-
ing him. The railroad employees
unanimously deny the accusation.
Here is a question of veracity.
The governor says he has reclaimed
over a million acres of land from rail-
roads. Capt. Walch says he has not.
Here is Another question ot veracity.
Gov. Hogg says he was the first
man to raise his voice in behalf of a
confederate home. The soldiers say
he is not Here is still another ones-
tion of veracity.
The governor says the passage of the
commission bill was delayed thirty
days by the work of the lobbyists.
Cone Johnson and other commission
men resent this as a slander on the
legislature and say it is not true.
Here is a direct and serious question
of veracity.
Besides the subject of being embar-
rassed by a confederate record evolved
itself into a question of verac-
ity and was then dropped. Without
taking sides either way in any of these
controversies every one must admit
that serious questions of veracity are
involved Was there ever before in
Texas the spectacle of the governor
the chief magistrate of the people be
ing involved in such numerous ques-
tions of veracity.

Cleveland is the incarnation of tariff
reform pension reform and economy
in governoment and it is not to be
wondered at that the puny opposition
to his tidal wave came from a handful
of machine politicians who care noth-
ing for principle. The Standard would
rather go down in defeat fighting for
honest ideas than win fighting on con-
ditions prescribed by such men as Hill
Gorman et als. San Angelo Stan-
dard. That is the position of the Repor-
ter. If straight democracy on a plat-
form of principles mean nothing it is

and hunt up one that does me.iri.some-
thing. We have got the man and the
platform and the next thing is to get

to the candidacy of J. T. Tucker for

weeks for the Mail to put us right and
it has failed to do so. Now we want
to say that Mr. Tucker was in the Re-
porter office a few days after the ar-

stated that while he had not authorized
us to publish the same the article as
it appeared in the Reporter was cor

I statement in the Reporter incorrect j life.
A sensible writer says: If you have
a small farm and your neighbor has a
big one don't get discontented and
run in debt to get more land. Put
more work and more fertilizer on what
vou have and make it produce as much
income with less expense than your
neighbor's does. This js the test of
good farming to make a little land
yield much and to-do it at a profit. It
is easy to lose money fast on a big
farm and lots of men are dping it who
might easily turn (heir account the
other way if they would be content
with less land. The axiom 'a little
farm well tilled" is full of meaning
and it is a wise man who studies it and
'applies it to his own case. Upon the
well-tilled small farm we invariably
find the best conditions of agricultural

Some Poetry Itself.
An humble boy with a shining pail
went gaily singing down the dale to
where the cow with a brindle tail on
the alfalfa pasture did regale. A hum-
ble bee did gaily sail over the soft and
shady vale to where the boy with a
shining pail was milking the cow with
a brindle tail. The bee lit on the
pow's left ear her heels flew up through
'be atmosphere and through the leaves
of a cottonwood tree the boy soared
into eternity. Ex.
Farmers' Institutes.
There are several things connected
with farmers' institutes which should
receive the attention of those conduct-
ing them with a view to making them
of much more value to the people.
One is that there should be a general
elimination of a class of tedious papers
which have come to be quite numer-
ous on occasions of this kind and
which cannot be said to in any sense
furnish to anybody anything special in
the way ot instruction or to provide
genuine entertainment. Even the best
of papers are frequently of less value
to the public than they should be 'too
s.mply for the lack of opportunity to
have them thoroughly .understood.
Read hut once before an audience
only part of whom are so situated as
to distinctly hear much of their good
is lost; and the lack of opportunity to
take them up promptly and discuss
them freely results in failure toTmake
impressions which are needed f
. The institute is not to the extent it
should be a training school. M spe-
cial need of the times is that it 'should
embody more ol the practical and less
of the ornamental and simply enter-
taining. Unless committees of man-
agement shall take pojnts of this kihd
into more careful consideration and
shape thfur policy accordingly the life
of the insntute in many localities at
least will lie short a.nd its tiscfulnets
