noted in certain socallod domocrallo cir-

fcoxt dcmocratlo platform has at last
reached Toxrxs and ns might havo boon ox

ly by tho OalvcstotiDallns News
That journallstto ehtcrprlsc which Is
conalstont only In Ita hostility towards
tho democratic party has Itn sentinel over
on tho watch towor to respond to tho sig-
nals for an atlack upon tho domocrallo
organization
In yesterdays Irstto lho Nows copied np
provlngly renmrka of a writer In tho New
York Journal to Uio effect that Mr Ilryan
wan not tho leader thq domocrnoy rotiulrcd
lu tho next campaign This fight It will
bo seen Is shrewdly pitched against tho
recent iitauditrdbcaror of tho democracy
rather than against tho silver lsauc but
this plan wltl nol docelvo tho masses To
strike down Mr Ilryan who Is tho ora
bodliucnt mud recognized ehamplooiof tho
freo colnngo Men would of oourae mean
to rctltico that Idea to a secondary Issuo
None know thla bolter than hose who
now nru beginning their warfiro upon the

paign
lint they can not so lu Bpoiik pull the
wool eo asly over doiiwornllc oyes and
thereby Miolvn the freo rolnngo ot silver
as tho leading tenet of domocrntlo faith
Mr Ilryan is strong with tho masses not
only because ho Is tho most conspicuous
anl tho nblest expounder nf tho troo sllvsr
doctrine but nlso by reason of tho uni-
versal conlldonoi In his sterling honesty
nnd his vt > g il for tho people Ills splen-
did character Is a tower of strength and
tho democrats c < f lho Nation feel that with
Win in tho presidential chair thcro wquM
bo an honest offort on lho part of lho ex-
ecutive to enforce nil tho demands of the
democratic platform
It la waste ot tlmo to hold Mr Dryan
up as n invin ot ono Idea no long as lho
people nro confident thnt his fearlessness
ami Integrity can be depended on to urge
tho enactment Into law ot every Idea ex-
pressed In lire platform on which ho should
bo elected Wn hayo had a latuqntnblo and
rontomptlblo exhibition ot tho nvoldanco
by tho present executive ot pliitfcrm
pledges nnd for this vory reason tho
courage ot conviction nnd honoity ot pur

There is much sincere sorrow tnanl
festod In tho Texas delegation lure an1
In facl among tho entire Tcxa oonttngjnt
In this city republicans as well as demo-
crats over tho death of Qenoral 1 8
lloss He s spoken of In foallngand kind-
ly language ond ovcry ona feels a per
gonal loss In tho death ot this noblo gen
ermls manly man who gave so many
years of bis life to Toxns and her Inter-
ests His services both In wnr nnd peace
mnko him ono ot the most Interesting
nnd picturesque characters who ovor ndoKl
lo lho tiaino nnd famo ot tho grand Slate
of his adoption His two terms as govern-
or woro marked by as great 11 dovclopmoal
of tho States almost llmltloss resources
S3 any other period In her history His
loss will bo felt In Texas and at tlio Agri-
cultural nnd Mechanical oo lego more than
nny other place Ho took that splendid
institution of lejarnlng and when It was on
tho wane built It up to tho highest stand
ard ot cxcclUsica Everybody Ihcro loved
him and well they might for his only aim
and abject in llfo was tho upbuilding of
that school to a standard that would equal
that of any similar Instltuton on earth
How well I remember lho last tlmo I
srtw him sitting on his front gallery last
June during tho commencement tlrno and
listened to him tell how ho enmo tp tho
Wllego to nsmuno tho duties of president
and how ns ho crossed tho campus In iront
cf Itoss hall some of the students with
lliitt lack ot rovoronco for ago and disre-
gard for tho dignity of position yelled out
Of tho window Fresh ti3hJ Ho sal not

manhood ard tho rights of others that for
ovor eliminated tlicso words na applied to
new comers to tho college from tho vo-
cabulary of tbo campus As he talked 01
of tho school and Its possibilities lilt
hopes nnd his plans his whole generous
nntUTo glowed with unselfishness and
patriotic dovotlon to tho young manhood
of Texas Thoso young men havo lo3t the
truest most Unselfish friend thoy ovtr hud
outside tho doors of lliclr own homes A

in him ns lo glvn all the world nsmranco
of a man 1 havo no fear thnt Texas
will fail to do justice to bis memory
There Is much favorablo comment hern
among Toxnns on tlio letter of Governor
Culberson formally announcing his canui
dney for tho senate Ard not only do the
Tcvans praisu 11 but many ot tha old domo
crntlo wnrhorses from other stales to
whom 1 hatded The 1ost containing tho
letter spoko words ot high pralso for It
nnd tlio brilliant young governor of Texas
Nol only did they praise tho llturary merit
of tho letter but spoko or his views aa
tho douhicrosllflrd quintessence ot duno
rney There is very llttlo Interest manl
feiitjd up hore In tho senatorial race
Ilverjbndy that Is acquainted with the
situation In Texns simply > ays that Gov-
ernor Culberson has a leadplpo cinch rn
tho tcnatoilnl tosu and that subsequent
Pioccedlrgs will bo a more matter nt form
They predict a brilliant career tor tlio
handsome and brainy young govornor when
ho gets here
Thoro is consldorsblQ Interest hero In
Texas circles concerning the gubernatorial
raco It la going to bo an exciting nnd
Interesting raco everybody concedes that
nobody Is willing to go on record as a
prophet as to tlio finish It Is a powerful
hard nuittor lo Ret a Texas congressman
to commit himself to nny ono candidate
and It Is amusing to mo to note the
nlinbleness of their brains In evading a
direct answer ftme of tlipm however nro

Tho Texu delegation here has not taken

tho merit system all right yetIt Is net

uppiojched him and told him quietly but
llrmly that ho could not be served becauso
