Who Is To Be Nominated.
Louisville Post: If Mr. Blaine
wants to get into it again there
will not be much trouble abont it,
but his bad faith with the jrresi-
dent will lose him many votes.
Brooklyn Times: That the re-
nomination of President Harison
is pretty clearly settled is shown
by the fact that the vice presiden-
cy is now becoming a subject of
discussion.
Cleveland Plaindealer: In the
race between Cleveland and
western man Grover continues
to have decidedly the best of it.
He is sweeping down the home-
stretch, while his competor has
not yet hove in sight.
Peoria Herald: President Harri-
son has received a set-back in 111-
inoi in his prelminary campaign.
Joe Cannon indorses his adminis-
tration. The paths of the righteous
are not always strowri with roses.
Evansville Courier: The Demo-
cratic people of Indiana are
largely in favor of the nomination
of the ex-president, and their
wishes should be expressed by a
delegation in perfect harmony
with their views.
Minneapolis Tribune: Mr.
Cleveland’s Rhode Island trip
has just about evened up the hon-
ors as between himself and Sena-
tor Hill. When presidential can-
didates meddle with local elections
they are pretty sure to suffer.
Grand Rapids Herald: Gen.
Alger has announced that he is in
the race for the presidential nomi-
nation “to stay.” Judging by
the tone and action of the repub-
lican county conventions in
the state thus far, the “ stay ’
will be very brief.
New York Advertiser: Republi
can sentiment in Oregon is said to
be favorable to Mr. Harrison but
as yet he hasn’t secured the dele-
gates. These are trying timeB,
and just at the present Mr. Harri-
son is more in need of delegates
than Bentiment.
Rome Sentinel: The rumors
about Secretary Blaine’s actual
intentions concerning the repub-
lican nomination should it be of-
fered to him by the Minneapolis
convention are almost as conflict-
a fair hearing before the rates are
fixed and speedy and adequate
remedy against any wrong that
may be done them. You may ex-
pect to meet in this canvass the
great power of these corporations
in their efforts to defeat the man
who has been the unswerving
friend of the present law and who
contributed so much to secure its
enactment.
False issues have been and will
be presented for the purpose of
dividing you, but no one has been
able to charge upod Governor
Hogg an act of dishonesty or of
bad faith to your interests. Amid
a storm of abuse, unparalleled in
the history of Texas politics, J.
S. Hogg has stood as firm as a
rock in the faithful discharge of
his official duties and the execu-
tion of the mandates of your plat-
form, not one of which has failed
of accomplishment by his admin-
istration. The best commission
now known in the United States
has been given to yon, and for its
enforcement three men have been
selected well known and thorough-
ly tried by the Democracy of Tex-
as in years past. If yon are true
to yourselves and stand firmly
together, as in 1890, all will be
well and the victory of 1892 will
secure to Texas for generations to
come the benefit of this most im-
portant reform. Division means
defeat, not in the nomination of j
Clark but in the selection of some |
unknown man, and defeat means j
the loss of the ground gained
by persistent efforts of the last
twenty years.
The railroad commission has
not had time to accomplish
its important work. While
it has done much for Texas al-
ready, and has saved much to her
peojile during the short period of
its existence, there is much more
to be accomplished yet. Be pa-
tient and you will be rewarded by
the fulfillment of your hopes.
We exhort you to be vigilant.
Be sure to attend the primaries
of your party and there carefully
select true friends to represent
yon in the convention. Finally,
we submit to yon as the issue:

Austin, Texas, April 12.—The
following is the address adopted
at the rally of the Hogg and com-
mission advocates last Saturday
night:
To the Democracy of Texas:
The issues involved in the pend-
ing canvass for governor are the
most important that have been
presented for yonr consideration
for many years. By the victory
of 1890 your constitution was
amended so as to confer unques-
tionable power upon the legisla-
ture to create a railroad commis-
sion, with ample powers to pro-
tect the rights of the people ; and
in pursuance thereof the present
railroad commission law was se-
cured. The provisions of this
law are such as to enable that
commission to solve the problem
of railroad transportation upon
the basis of justice to the people
and the railroads. To preserve
this law with its most vital feat-
ures is a work of equal importance
to that of its creation and will be
attended with even greater diffi-
culties.
Governor J. S. Hogg was elect-
ed governor upon this issue, upou
a platform m ide by the Demo-
cratic party at S in Antonio, an-i
inaugurated under a solemn oath to
carry out the will of the people
of the couutry, He has performed
! his duties faithfully and proved
his fidelity to the best interests
o*f Texas under the most trying
circumstances,
Judge Clark, the competitor of
Governor Hogg for the nomina-
j tion of the Democratic party for
governor, opposed the adoption
health a few months ago.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press : When
Mr. Hill’s New York delegates of the amendment to the constitn-
get into the Democratic National tion by virtue of which the com-
Convention, between the upper mission law was enacted, and, as

But experience has proved its
possibility. Take the case of the

you must have for a governor a
man who has its success at heart,
