With 5S6 votes pledged to sound money
there should be no straddling at St. Louis
just to please a wobbly candidate. 11' tho
republican party is to put McKinloy for-
ward as its candidate, which appears more
than likely, the situation is doubly urgent
for an unequivocal gold standard declara-
tion for the reason that the man entertains
no positive convictions on the question. Mc-
Kinley should be bound to honest linance
by the strongest ties which a national coh-
, ypntion can invoke. Equivocation is poor
policy even when a strong man is available
for the nomination, hut It is the height of
faithlessness to the masses when a Jolly
good fellow with no settled convictions is
chosen as a leader. The sound money re-
publicans should have a platform which «*\-
presses their convictions on the money
question. The sound money democrats will
vfUaibtless see that the Chicago convention
■Beaks out plainly for sound money, even
if Tillman, Vest and other silverites do
bolt. Then, if they name a candidate1 equal-
ly pronounced and historically conspicuous
for dauntless defense of the sound money
interests of the country and for unfailing
opposition to dangerous financial schemes
and crazes, they will have an excellent
prospect of carrying the presidential elec-
tion against a candidate so untried, prob-
lematical and unassuring In these relations
lis McKinley.
The New York Sun has the following:
"Get off that wheel! An authoritative
voice fills the air. A prophet has wreaked
himself upon expression. The Hon. J. Ste-
phen Hogg, sometime governor of Texas
and always the friend of virtue and the foe
of plutocrats, has taken strong and high
ground against the bicycle, and when an
• arnest thinker like the Hon. J. Stephen
llogg sets his face like a llintlock against
hie service to the state in the past, anil be-
cause it may under better conditions achie ve
more good in the future that patriotic citi-
zens desire its reclamation from spoilsmen
and demagogues. 1 he people are not going
to he deuri'i d by the objurgations and
threats of proscription which appear daily
in a subservient press, shackled and domi-
nated by the machine bosses. A citizen
who hankers not after pie, but who desires
only an honest, economical and efilclent
government, will not cringe before the
crack of the party lash, nor will he quail
before vituperative outbursts which are
but the frtthings of impotent rage. The
News rejoices to see a splendid, independent
spirit manifested by many oi the journals
of Texas. This is eminently of good aug-
ury for the state. When the press refuses
longer to be awed by trueulence and blus-
ter or influenced by trivial handouts which
the ring vouchsafes to distribute among
those who bow to its authority, it will not
be long before the state is redeemed trom
a pestiferous domination. Among the In-
fluential papers which have come to the
Alcalde s standard is the Denison Herald.
The Herald recognizes that an emergency
has arise n which demands the best efforts
of all who deprecate the evils of ring rule.
Speaking ot the Alcaide's candidacy, the
llerald says:
Ex-G<.vernor Roberts' candidacy is oppor-
tune. it v*mcs ai a time when the ruturc-
oi dunociacy is uark in Texas.; at a time
w.ie n party spoils have become the slogan

luny—observe the iiovvers ol analysis mere

siugic indication oi weak minetediiess. Uu
the contrary, you will nnd mat it ranks
with the larncus judicial decisions of its
author—decisions which have been the pride
e,t the Texas bar lo these many years. And
you will aiso lind that in line with its other
excellencies tlitre is apparent warm love
for good government and a breathing de-
sire lor state p; osperity. The iieiald has
deliberated patiently and conscientiously
on this matter, having before its eyes noth-
ing but popular weiiare. It realizes tuily
the' etepb.ranle ccndltion of the democratic
party in Texas, and earnestly desires some
action which will throw designing politi-
cians out of power and rehabilitate the par-
ly. in all Texas there- is not. in the He.*-
a.d s opinion, a man who can more surely
uo this*than Uiun Ai. Roberts.
The Herald is right. The Alcalde has
given a tiuthful analysis of the situation,
and ll behooves the unfettered press and
independent citizenship ol' Texas to join in
the work of redemption with enthusiastic
patriotism and indomitable concentration of
purpose, eflort and force.
SLSA'l'OR T1LLMAS OF SOUTH
CAROL IS A.
Senator Benjamin it. Tillman of South
Carolina, who made- his debut In Texas last
night, is by no means a stranger to Texas
newspaper readers. From the day he start-
ed on his sensational career as governor of
his native state until he blossomed into
notoriety as an intermittent human vol-
cano of vituperative invective Texaiis have
watched him with no little interest. He is
an Interesting character, in fact, a curi-
osity of the rarest description, and people
will always flock to hear him. not lor what
he might say. but because they want to see
the man who has already said so much.
The News has never be en mistaken about
Tillman, and has no doubt now that he Is
endeavoring to organize a silver party to
begin business in the event the sound
money men control the Chicago conven-
tion. This is his mis-ion, ami doubtless he*
iinels that the more extreme element of the
free> silver faction of Texas are enthusi-
astic to join him. Nevertheless, his appear-
and' in Texas at this time is not especially
p!e aslric to the bosses, who are now de-
nouncing in the sound money men Just
what Tillman urges the silver men to pre-
pare to do. Tillman however, is not a man
to play for position or to bend his convic-
tions according to the demanel of expedi-
ency. lie is open and above board in pro-
claiming his purpose, never halting to con-
sider whether it might be advantageous to
withhold an expression of his honest beln-i'.
He is prepared to bolt and organize- a silver
party if necessary and voheme-ntly urges
all silver men to get ready to follow, and
the silver contingent of his Dallas audience
manifested unmistakably that they were
willing and reaely. Senator Tillman's posi-
tion along this line is honesj and logical.
Relieving that the gold standard is ruining
the* country, he has no business remaining
with Phc democratic party if it favors a
continuance of its present financial polity.
Likewise a man who believes that free
coinage ot silver will wreck the-- nation is
not discharging his duty to the country by
binding himself to support such a policy. A
citizen does not have* to be a slave in order
to be ;i dennserat, and It iS both a right
and a duty to resi rve a certain independ-
ence in one's relation to a political party.
On this line- there Is no issue between Sen-
ator Tillman and The News. The News
can commend the senator even beyond this.
When he admits that the- immediate effect
of free coinage would be to create a panic
and the ultimate effect to drive gold from
our monetary circulation, he tells the; truth.
His candor is in striking contrast with the
Texas silverite who claims that the imme-
diate result would be a period .of prosperity.
As for the- senator's views eif political
economy there need be but little said. It
is fortunate that only a small portion of
the aggregate population of the country
agree-* with him. He would not have to
undergo a change of heart to he* a ram-
pant populist, notwithstanding his jibes at
populism. His views em fiat money are es-
sentially populistic and his contention that
the populists aii' too radical for him is
doubtless intended lor a humorous sally.
His abuse of Cleveland, Carlisle- and Her-
bert is a che stnut ne»w and only shows how
fanatical it is possible for a man of strong
prejuelices to become. We have orators of
the same kinet in Texas aim Tillman gives
us little that is new in this respect.
Major McKinley will address the Meth-
odists In Cleveland to-night, but ho will not
even allude to the filthy lucre question. He
is too religious to do that.

congressional situation in the north Texas
metropolis.
The Old Alcalde is not rich like his com-
petitors, but wealth Is not a prerequisite
of statesmanship.
Just because the Alcaide is a farmer, re-
lying on 200 acres of land for tho support

he should not be as acceptable to the farm-

Washington. May 15.—(Special.)—The
members of congress are somewhat ex-
cited to-day over a report which has gained
widespread circulation that the president
has intimated that he intends to call a
special session if he finds it impossible to
continue the session, which he is opposed
to adjourning at the present time. It is
said that he has told some one that this
congress has appropriated about $050,000,000
and has not made one provision for raising
the revenue to meet the debts taken on.
lie says that, to meet this expense, which
the congress has extravagantly made for
the future of the government, there must
be legislation, and he intends to have it if
he can. To do this, so the report goes, if
congress should adjourn with its record in
legislation as It is now written, he will at
once call a special session. Tho origin of
this report can not be ascertained. No one
knows who first started it. and it would
look as If it came from conclusions of the
public rather than from anything that the
president ever said on the subject.
it Is a fae.t that this congress has been
most extravagant. It Is a fact that the
government is running behind. It is a fact
that there has been nothing done to relieve
the treasury. The natural conclusion would
be that this being the case the president
would insist on congress providing some
way to pay the money which it so lavishly
promises and makes the government bound
for through the Instrumentality of appro-
priations.
The house to-day was engaged on pension
cases again. Scores of them passed with-
out any opposition. As each bill was read
the previous question was asked and car-
ried and no debute was in order. 1,'nder
this method of legislation, those members
who have tried to stand in the way of the
wholesale robbery of the government be-
came tired and besides were made mute,
ami the bills passed as fast as they could
be read. In all the history of the country
there lias been nothing like it. The belief
is that the majority of them will be ve-
toed by the president if they get through
the senate, but the republican members of
the house are indifferent about this, as
they are pressing bills mostly to get the
soldier vote, ami If Cleveland vetoes the
bills they think this vote will be solidified
against the democrats and will give the
next house to the republicans. The effort
of the republicans to pile up expenses in
the way of granting pensions to everybody
that asks for them may be one of the
grounds for the report that the president
will e-all an extra session.
AIJJOI li.VUUM' HI KSTIO.N.
Silver ltepulillcuiiN OppoMed to II.
Iliinkrnpte> lliil Outlook.
Washington, May 1^—(Special.)—Senator
Teller told a senator to-day that as soon
as the senate dlsposeel of the appropriation
bills he intended to bring up the George
bankruptcy bill and ask that a day be set
for a vote on it.
The republicans had a caucus to-day and
The News correspondent asked one of the
participants if the subject of a bankruptcy
bill was mentioned in it. and he sahi that
it might have bee.ii in the general discus-
sion, but that if it was it was included in
the general determination to adjourn as
early as possible after the appropriation
bills were passed. Asked as to what he
thought were the chances for the passage
e>f a bankruptcy bill, he- said that he did
not think it had any chance at all If the
republicans were able te) carry out their
programme to adjourn at a very early day.
Though the sentiment of the* caucus was
to adjourn at the- very latest by the end of
the first week in June*, It is evident that
the silver republicans elo not want an ad-
journment. They, or at least Teller, Du-
bois, Mantel and rarter, are not at all dis-
posed to see congress adjourn at this time.
Their reason is apparent to all. Each of
them has given his people notice that he
will not vote for any republican who is
nominated on a gold ticket for the presi-
dency if they can hold congress herw un-
til after the' two conventions, they will be
enabled to make their speeches from the
tloeir of the senate without any expense to
themselves and with very little labor. If
the democrats at Chicago nominate a silv« r
man these gentlemen will east their votes
fur him. And it will be necessary for
them to make speeches te) show their con-
stituencies why they will do so. If a gold
man is nominated at St. Louis and they will
not support him, they will have to make
speeche s to show the reason of their course-.
If tln-y make speeches at honu- they will
have only a local circulation, and they can
not get fully reported, but If tie y are made
in the senate the government will furnish
the stenographers and they can be sent out
without any cost. This being the- case, It
may be- that Teller will bring up the bank-
ruptcy bill. It is evident that Dubois lntro-
due-ed his resolution to prevent tho issu-
ance of bonds except with the consent of
congress for this purpose.
Dupont Defeated.
Washington, May 15.—(Special.)—The sen-
ate to-day, by a vote of 31 to 80, declared
that Dupont waai not entitled to a seat in
the senate from Delaware. All the popu-
lists who wore present voted with the dem-
ocrats, and Jones of Nevada, who was ab-
sent, was paired against tho seating of
Dupont from the outset. It was ascer-
tained at an early day in the- proceedings
the- populists would vote against seating
him. because they did not want to let go
of the balance e>f power which they now
hold. The sliver republicans were also op-
posed to seating him, because, as one e>f
them explained to me. if he came in it
would be against them In their effort to
prevent any tariff legislation at the next
session of congress unless something was
done for silver. Hut the silver republicans,
finding that he would be beaten by the
votes of the populists, concluded to vote
for him just to show that they were still
with the- party as long as the silve r ques*
tion was not involved directly, in the re-
publican caucus to-day there was a dis-
position on the part of some of the- mem-
bers to try te) put the disposition of the
case over till ne xt session, but the' silver
republicans and many others, like Sher-
man, said that the agreement entered Into
when Gorman tried to force a vote some
time ago was that a vote should be take n
on the plain question as to whether or not
Dupont should be seated, and they intend-
ed to carry out the agreement. This settled
the matter, and the light contemplated did
not occur.
Treatment of Animal*.
Washington, May 15.—Acting Secretary
Dabney of the agricultural department has
issued to inspectors the following general
order in regard to treatment of animals:
It is the* desire of this department that
the influence of all employes should be used
so far as warranted by law for the purpose
of securing humane treatment of animals In
transportation and in stock yards. De-
priving animals of food and drink for un-
usual periods, beating or worrying them,
are practiced, and are calculated to make
the animals feverish and their meat un-
wholesome, and should be discountenanced
and prevented. You will therefore give
such instructions to your subordinates as
ill insure careful treatment oi any ani-
mals which they may handle, and as will
also lead them to use their influence for
the same cnel with all other persons with
whom they come* in contact. You will
make investigation of the- manner In which
animals are transported and handled by
railroad companies anel stoe-k yards which
come under your observation, and make
such suggestions as may occur to you with
a view to improving the service and pro-
tecting the animals from undue suffering
or cruelty. Injured animals suffering se-
vere pain should be promptly reported to
the humane societies unless the owner or
stock yards company properly cares for
them within n reasonable time.

pointed in 1S5K by President Huchanan. anel

HOHKUTS' EARLY LIFE.
Hi* ItuuKed Honenty and independ-
ence Inspired Confidence.
Dallas, Tex,, May 14.—General John S.
Griffith of Terrell said to Tho News man:
"Although not In politics, since the Hon.
O. M. Roberts has ealleel upon his friends
to speak out answering his offer to lead
the democracy of Texas to a return to a
more economical administration of govern-
mental affairs and to a purer and truer at-
mosphere and basis of political life. I there-
fore cheerfully seize my unused p'» n to
thank him for his offer and to say to the-
people of Texas that I have known Gov-
ernor Roberts for more* than half a cen-
tury. In the- early '40s he moved to Texas
anel settled In old San Augustine county, in
east Texas, and he was the associate and
peer of such men as Houston. Rusk. Hen
derson. Anderson. Kaufman. Van Kandt.
Lipscomb anel Wheeler anel a heist of other
worthies of Texas renown. And whenever
placed in the balance with either of them,
whether for patriotism, good old-time de -
mocracy or legal lore, he- was never found
wanting: and whenever he was weighed
and tested by the virtues that aeletrn a
noble manhood (and of which the modern
pie hunter seems to he utterly destitute) he
e s or stood In the leftd Then, as well as
now, he was known as one of the Creator's
most noble works, 'an honest man,' and
now at the- risk of the Old Alcalde's pinch-
ing my nose the- lirst time lie sees me I am
going to tell you a story or two on him. In
those days of the- republic of Texas it was
a hard thing for him to keep the wolf from
the- door. Earnest, holiest, but unobtrusive,
clie nts did not apply fast enough, and on
an occasion of elistrict court being held at
Nacogdoches, thirty-live- miles west from
San Augustine, the Alcalde, with Hender-
son and several other lawyers going to
court, stopned four miles east of. Nacog-
doches anel staved all night with David
Muckleroy, a well to do farmer, and. by the
way. the fathe r of Major J. H. Muckleroy.
recently deceased, of Terre-ll. Next morn-
ing the- lawyers proceeded on their way to
court at Naeogtfoches. In three or four
days Roberts came bark te) old Dave's to
stay all night. Old pave wanted to know
what he was going back home so soon for.
Roberts answered that he- had stayeel tili
he had spent all the money lie* had for
board except $1. which ho had saved to pay
him for Ills night's bulging and then pro-
ceed on homeward, as he did not like- to ask
any one credit for his board bill. Muckle-
roy promptly tolel him to ke«»p his $1 for in-
cidentals and te> go back to court In the»
morning and back at night and he would
credit him for the board of himself anel
horse for as long as the court lasted. The
offer was thankfully accepted. He gejt a
case, ami In n«»t ve ry oolite, but expressive
parlance—you bet old I»av<* got his money!
Later he> promptly threw himself, his pre>p-
orty. which he' bail In the- meantime' in-cu-
mulated. with every energy of his nature
in the cause e)f the southern confederacy,
lie- lost all but honor. Again in 1 pass-
lug from Hoe kwall when 1 was then mer-
chanellsing te> New Orleans after more
goods, 1 saw him In old San Augustine- and
we- shook hands for the lirst time after the
war. it was a warm May day and he had
on for clothing an old linen duster, once
thrown aslelo, but now resumed again, with
a largo patch on the right elbow, a pair of
linen pants with a pate-h or two on them
a coarse pair of shoe s and a chip straw hat
destitute of the usual ornamentation of a
baud. The hat would cost now perhaps ]"
cents, but his clothing was clean and he
was able to look you In the eye-, as he- ever
will bo, but hi' looked every 'itieii the gen-
tleman. 1 scoldeel one or my old frlonels
who was the-n merchandising there by ask-
ing why lie let Roberts go so poorly clad
He replied that he wouldn't let his friends
give- him anything, and that he would not
go in debt till lie made the- money, and that
the old man anel his lit ID- bovs were mak-
ing a lltth' crop of cotton and corn out on
Patoon creek. Here Is your man. boys! A
purer, truer, safer or more honest man
never breathed tho breath of lif,. an,i aj_
though the gubernatorial chair, debauched
and degraded as it has been of late can
add no honor to him. he can honor the
chair. Come, let us relegate our sound
money doctrine to the rear for a tlnio and
with the three-fold cord of love for Texas
love for home and love for integrity cleanse
the1 synagogue e>f ^tate of these demagog-
ical pie hunters and inaugurate a new dis-
pensation In politics."

.Nominated i'or Cong reus.
Dallas. Tex., May 15.—Senator Benjamin
R. Tillman of South Carolina addressed an
audience variously estimated at from 3000
to 5000 to-night. He was introduced by Geo.
A. Garden, member of the Dudley com-
mittee, and, as the city hall would not ac-
commodate tho crowd, he spoke in the open
air. His speech did not differ in the main
from previous addresses in the United
States and elsewhere. He was very abusive
and denounced President Cleveland as the
te>ol of Wall street, scoundrels and robbers;
charged that Messrs. John G. Carlisle,
Hoke Smith anel Hilary A. Herbert had
sold their principle s for cabinet positions,
and that the repeal oi the Sherman act
was brought about by bribing congress-
men with federal patronage "and perhaps
coin." He. was particularly severe on Sec-
retary Herbert, characterizing liim as a
"Judas lsearlot to his state."
Speaking ot the national convention, he
boldly proclaimed that he would pick up
his hat ami walk out u the linaiieial plana
of the northeastern and eastern democrats
was placed In the platform. His mission to
Texas was to Induce the silver democrats
to send delegates te> Chicago who will unite
with South Carolina In repudiating the
convention unless free silver vagaries pre-
vail. it the silver men are defeated at
Chicago he advised the dele gates to go to
St. Louis and unite with the silver conven-
tion in nominating candidates for president
and vice president.
The crowd was very demonstrative and
at times the- voice of the speake r was
drowned in a storm ot cheers lor President
Cleveland.
Tillman attacked the pre sident for send-
ing troops to Chicago to quell the labor
riots ami the Cleveland men In the audi-
ence cheered lustily and almost silenced the
voice of the pitchfork senator, in closing
he asked all who favored a bolt if tree sil-
ver was not secured at Chicago to litt up
their right hands. Hundreds oi hands went
up by the free silver men and populists
present.
Tillman will speak at Terrell to-morrow.
Many free silver leaders were present to-
night.
Judge Storey Is In It.
Austin, Tex., Mrfy 15.—The following an-
nouncement by Judge Story was given to
the press to-day:
To the Democratic Voters of Texas: In
obedience to my own Inclinations and at
the request of many friends in different
parts of the state, 1 have consented to be
a candidate tor the otlice 1 now hold as
railroael commissioner of Texas. The re-
cent amendment to the constitution of the
state in substance provides that at the lirst
election thereunder, which will be in No-
vember next, there shall be three railroael
commissioners elected, whose terms of ol -
lice shall expire ami their successors elect-
ed respectively in two, four ami six years,
thereby at all times retaining on the com-
mission at least two members thereof, who,
by reason of their expedience, are better
epialilied to perform the important and
complicated duties of that ofiice. And be-
lieving tnat my experience in the olfice for
the last sixteen months justifies my friends
In the belief that 1 am beitteir equlppee.1
than ever to dischargS the intricate duties
ot the office, 1 will be before the next state
democratic, nomliwiting convention seeking
its indorsement as one of the candidates.
And as my official duties on tho commis-
sion will not jiermlt me to make an ex-
tended canvass of tho state, 1 must there-
tore request my friends to see that my
name is properly placed before the demo-
cratic county conventions and primary
elections.
To those who know me personally or by
reputation, 1 deem It unnecessary for me
to dellne my position on all political ques-
tions of the day. It Is, however, eiue to tho
public that 1 should say that 1 belong to
and owe my allegiance to the organized de-
mocracy e»f this country, and that for years
prior to the passage ot our present law on
the subject l lave,reel the* enactment of an
cilich'iu railroad commission law. 1 am in,
accord with our present state administra-
tion on public atiah's, and with it believe
in an economical administration of the gov-
ernment, state anel national, ever keeping
in mind efliciency in every department of
the service.
Tho positiem 1 seek is not a political of-
fice, and in the discharge of its duties we
has e-. to eleal with the rights of men of all
political parties anel conditions in life, and
if nominated and elected it will be my
pleasure, as It Is my bound en duty, to en-
lorco the* law lis 1 iliul it upon the statute
books, meeting out to parties at Interest
even and exact justice to all and exclusive
privileges to none. Respectfully,
J. L. STOREY.

sional and judiciary conventions was called
to order by Hon. W. H. Brown. Mr. C. W.
Stewart (a McComb man) was elected
chairman, 13d F. Rlackshear was elected

terest of harmony. The motion prevailed

who named twenty-live delegates to tho
Anderson convention, which meets on the
23d. who were instructed to vote' lirst, last
and all the tiun for Hon. W. P. McComb

The motion that the chairman appoint a
committee- to wait on the chairman ttt' the
congressional district and ask him to select

since should McComb carry this county
with Harris, he will get the nomination.
The primaries will be held In Anderson

The* Rail men do not concede Harris
county and claim part of the lower portion
of this. Grimes county. They claim thirty
votes in north Grimes and eleven in the
southern part, with a chance of carrying
the Anderson precinct, which they say will
give fifty-one, or ten more than enough to
carry the county. The McComb people
claim equal things. To-morrow will prob-
ably bo the pivotal day in the congres-
sional race.

THE ALCALDE'S DOOM.
llrenhum FxpreMMions.
Bronham. Tex., May 15.—The Roberts
club now has thirty-nine members and is
growing.
A reporter spent half an hour to-day get-
ting expressions from citizens in reference
to the candidacy of the Old Alcalde, with
tho following result:
Colone l D. C. Giddings was opening his
noon mail when, the reporter invaded his
sapctum at the bank and said he did not
care to be Interviewed, though he stated
it as his opinion that Roberts' arraignment
of the Duel ley crowd was a very strong one.
D. C. Giddings, jr.: "If the national plat-
form declares for sound money the old
man will be a strong factor in the guber-
natorial race. If the platform declares for
five silver Roberts has no show. I'm like
Roberts, though, in steering clear of all en-
tangling alliances."
B. Eldrldge: "The old democratic war
horse* has the experience, record and ago
on the boys,' anel he is neither blind, deaf
nor tongue-tied and his mind is as clear
as a bell. He has caught the 'boys' with
their breeches down, and every lick ho
give's them he will set them alire and raise
the blisters."
George H. Wilson: "I'm for his right
square through. All the traveling men are
for him."
Major A. Harrison: "When the majority
Hue Is itself in the minority it should stlfk
to the majority."
W. E. Dwyor: "He's going to make a
hot race. His 'pay as you go' style suits
me exactly."
T. 11. Dwyer: "From 30 to 40 per cent of
the' negroes will vote for him." When asked
if he would vote for the Alcalde Mr.
Dwyer answered with a laugh: "He's my
color, but not my kind."
Mr. J. H. Simon thought he would make
a good race if the national committee de-
clared for sound money.
Frank Melntyre: "He's going to beat
them."
J. D. Campbell, when asked the ques-
tion, laughed and said: "The governor
ain't in it a little bit. I don't like to see
the old fellow made a tool of."
W. B. Garrett: "I have nothing to say,
except that I think the old man's race *a
groat mistake*. There is no show for him."
W. W. Searcy: "Don't know anything
about it except what I see in the papers. Of
course, ho stands no show before the Cul-
berson convention, and his only hope is to
run independently."
Dr. T. O. Hynes: "His race will bring
about harmony between the two wings.
That's why 1 am in favor of the Alcalde."
It. J. Swearingen: "I have tho highest
regard for Governor Roberts, but I propose*
to support the regular democratic nom-
inee."
T. R. Botts: "I am in favor of Roberts
because he is opposed to the methods of
the Dudley committee. I am supporting
Roberts because he believes in giving both
wings representation."
P. II. Barnhill: "I am sorry for the old
man. He is all wrong."
San Miireon Kxpreunion*.
San Marcos, Tex., May 14.—The following
gentlemen have given their views as to
the candidacy of Hon. O. M. Roberts:
G. G. Johnson, merchant, gold standard
democrat: "Governor Roberts has mado
the mistake of his life. He shows a want
of appreciation for the favors and honors
conferred on him by tho democracy. It is
a childish fancy of old age."
Hon. George T. McGetoee: "Indorse tha
action of Governor Roberts from beginning
te> end; tldnk his open letter strikes tho
keynote to the whole situation. He will
support Governor Roberts In his independ-
ent democratic candidacy unless the sound
money democracy put out a candidate.
Hon. W. D. Wood looks on Governor Rob-
erts' candidacy very favorably. He gave"
Texas a clean government and left an
overllowing treasury. Will support him
in preference to any of the Hogg-Culber-
son regime.
Judge* S. Fisher believes that patriotism
IS above' party and approves the independ-
ent action of Governor Roberts; believes
that Governor ltol>erts has as much sense
as he' over had anel that he' is in every way
capable; indorses the former administration
of < lovernor Roberta.
Hon. Hammett Hardy, mayor of San
Marcos: "Roberts mado a good governor
and 1 see no reason why he should not da
se> again. He is worse needed now than
ever before. If there* is no sound money
candidate in tlw llelei I will support Gov-
ernor Roberts."
J. G. Story, organizer of democrats,
regrets very much that ex-Governor Rob-
erts, whom ho admires very highly, has al-
lowed himself to be led into this independ-
ent candidacy by the* enemies of the organ-
ized! democracy. Regards tho mistake a*
the* result of childishness incident to olel
age*. Will support tho nominees of tho
regular democracy.
Judge Gustav Cook, free sliver, regards
Robe rts as one of the profoundest lawyers
anel politico-economists and purest patriots
living. The* only defect In his makeup i»
that he Is human and has demonstrated It
lately in which he believes to be a serious
mistake, lie loves and reveres Governor
Roberts ami regrets beyond measure that
he' has permitted himself to be placed
where* he (Cook) can not support him. Will
veite anel support the regular democratic
ticked and hones to see Hon. Charles A.
Culberson at the head of it.
Hon. S. B. McBriele, representative)
Ninety-eighth district (free silver), thinks
that Governor Roberts has been led into
grave error by the gold bug element. Looks
upon him as one of the profoundest states-
men of the' age'. Would gladly support him
as the nominee of the regular democrats
party, but as an indepemieiit he will not.
Pears that the course ho Is pursuing will
br ing upon him criticism and condemnation
that he- ought not to have to bear.
Hon. John K. Pritchett, chairman oC
Hays county democratic executive commit-
tee: "Governor Roberts' action is a great
mistake and can bring to him only defeat
and sorrow'. He has been misled in his olel
age by designing men to serve their own
purposes. Governor Roberts has been
great I v and justly honored by tho demo-
cratic* partv and to allow malcontents toi
use- him against that party is a great mis-
take."
