In Hefense of James Stephen them

T
Editor Herald I notice you
offer to publish any communica-
tions political or otherwise and
avail myself of it
My attention has been attracted
by ii recent correspondence in 1 one
of our dailies between two per-
sons touring the historic n uncs of
lEoratio and Tootsy who evident-
ly belong to a mutual admiration
Boeiety of which the pass word is
thems my sentiments Tfiese
two are singularly unanimous in
the expression of an antiIlogg
sentiment Now had either of
Ahem taken it upon himself to do
fend his excellency this had never
been written but I do like to see
fair play In the first place poor
James is accused of beiug a native
Texan Now while Teens has
hid mioy governors oi great abi-
lity not born upon her soil yet I
Can fee no reason why thi s aeci
dent of birth should uuiitate
Against the present incumbent
Then too poor Jimmy is accused
of producing this drouth which if
irm must account for Dyren
fi rth < failures last year In olden
times a woman was supposed t < >
haveciittsci a etonu merely by re-
moving her hose and was hums
for it Can it be that Ilogg to
Pioduce contrary results has re-
frained fromremoviiig his during
the ex sience of this drouth Peiieh
the thought 1 They say our e 5
teemed governor is oppu > cd t V
iub law even though the victim
i e a negro Well of course he ib
itnd when he finds an instance
where therus lotfi of poor negroes
an the neighborhood he rushes
tight in and rjirets the fears of the
sheriffs and officers whom the peo-
ple have elected and doesnt al-
low them to be bothered with iu
iorcing the laws
It seems too that these writers
persistently overlook many of St
Jamesgreat deeds during his term
For instance the fellow servants
b ll was passed for which we must
give Hogg the credit It is true
for some unknown reason h failed
to affix his signature to it butthen
it became a law during his ad-
ministration and his approval was
a trifling consideration As far as
that 13 concerned there were many
other beneficial acts passed by this
twentysecond legislature which
Hogg didnt sign but then if our
governor was dreaming over his
boyhood days or perhaps disinclin-
ed for bnBtneis of course it was
light not to disturb him nnd
wo know that every gocd act
he approved and every act that
was unconstitutional or evil
in its effect8 W8S not called to his
attention How oud he help it
if some one didnt Gall his atten-
tion to thosebills Some people
are even iinclined to blame him
because hepjdnfc send in those
nominationsfwithin the required
ten days after convening the spe-
cial session ut then his atten-
tion wasnjtfotlled to it
Then agaiff jafliCt he jnst pjt
his foot down onthewiastyvalienst
ho infest our country and tell
ocrar
prod
f
to take away their filthy
lucre that we didnt need it Yes
and they did ittoo He is also ac-
cused of taking away S7000 acres
of land from the wicked railroads
beeuuse they had not come by it
rightfully And why shouldnt
hei Of course its a little hard on
the thousands of people who have
bought this land from the rail-
roads and must be involved in
endless law suits finally losing
their homes They should not
complaim however for the mag
uanimioiis Hogg says he will pro-
tect all innocent puichaeors of this
land that is those who didnt buy
under quit claim deeds It is a
minor consideration that railroads
never give any other kind of deeds
Another great result of our
Ilotriis administration is the fact
that no moio roSber railroads dare
to invade our sacred domains For
tins alone for naught else
St James we owe yon unending
gratitude nnd should keep you n
your seat What do we want with
more railroade They only rob us
especially our farmers but perhaps
they think the farmer their legiti-
mate prey since H gg himself
shows his distrust of them the f r
meiB by saying they i are unfit to
be trusted with the school momy
And perhaps these shiiib railroad 6
think in their arrogance that Hogg
in only talking against fheiii for
effect sinje he is lenient enough
to say this same money may he
loaned to them and tiace he nc
eepts the free passes they offer
him Rut thay are mistaken it is
only because our Jimmy is a ten-
der hearted man and cannot bear
to tdiow an entirely nncomprdmis
ing front even to a soullobs edrpo
ation
And in the matter of the sugar
> ounty didn Our governor fairly
jump into tho air and crack his
heels in his display of true dem
What need had our sugar
of the paltry sum of
0000 representing this bounty
Which Hogg de ded it would be
undemocratic to accept His course
in the matter shows how he is not
above taking advice either for
every one know she encouraged the
legislature to pass the bill of ac-
ceptance and intended to sign it
when a certain friend gave him a
hint and he decided to refuse it
Why will people overlook such
great and glorious deeds
There are legions of other rea-
sons to be cited why these two
correspondrrs should not > con-
demn the g rnor in such unmeas-
ured terms but knowing your
space to be valuable I forbear
