Mn nAYKS has given it as his opin-
ion that Blaine will bo elected presi-
dent Mr Blaine once took occasion
to express an opinion that Mr Hayes
was not elected president
All tho papers in Texas are mad
because they aro not organs of the
bulllonaires One of em has even
been immodest enough to beg for n
tap at one of our barrels

THE GAZETTE FORT WORTH TEXAS MONDAY TUNE 23
Thk organs nro calling hard names
They say Democrats who oppose tho
laud lenso system are fence cuUor
If tho organs keep up UiIb racket and
the politicians follow suit it may bo
that tho freo grass men will cut tomo
mans political fence
How would Thomni P Ochlltreo do
for secretary of stato under tho Blaine
administration Thin is golug to bo
an nggresslvo American administra-
tion they tell us and the Texas au-
thor of tho Lnskcr resolutions can talk
liko a swashbuckler to Bismarck
While people are rummaging
around tho closets of tho stato for a
superintendent of public instruction
The Gazette would suggest the pro-
priety of laj lng Prof T J Girardeau
of Houston asldo In n convenient
place for fear n better man cannot bo
fouud
Mn Gums will plcaso understand
that a typographical error was niado
In referring to him yesterday The
query should have referred to the
B irney GIbbs boom Mr Glhbs well
knows The Gazette has no desire to
indulge In personal ridlculo of any
man We regret tho mistake
The Houston Post asks it it U ex-
pected that Commissioner Walsh will
receive fair treatment from The Ga-
zette And yet Tin Gazette has
been selected by Commissioner
Walsh as his organ In which to print
his defenses The organ of tho bulllon
alres socalled Is always for fair play
John Sherman Intimated in his
ratification speech at Washington that
since he had supported all the rest of
the Republican presidential nomina-
tions if tho devil was nut up now ho
wouldnt go back on him and after
glancing over the list we are inclined
to bellovo that John was telling the
truth
Gov Cleveland will likely have
tlie support of New York whose sev-
enty otes in tho national convention
will give him a grand boom This is
one of the advantages or living In a
large state Bayard is a bigger man
every way than Cleveland but his
state can back him with only six votes
In tho convention
Tin names oj the bullionaires
who are subscribing to tho fund to
eubtain their organ are printed
eyery Monduy in The Daily Gazette
aud in The Weekly Gazette They
will be fouud to be bulllonalres who
me the hoe and tho plow and thats
whats tho matter with the journal-
istic Hannahs of Texas
Ouk Cauadian neighbors nre a little
too fast for us in the matter of n
scoop on drumming up railroad
business They aro now capturing
for the Canadian Pacific railroad all
tho cattle from Montana and the terri-
tory contiguous It Is a pity Texas
could not allonl a decent harbor for
this vast interest It would save it
from seeklnc Montreal as a shipping
point
Loyalty of Eccords
Repub Deans are digging up Senator
Bayards alleged disloyal speech at
Dover In 1801 aud declare that It ex-
cludes
him from consideration as a
presidential candidate Tbo most that
Senator Bayard ever did was to advise
that tho South bo allowed to go In
peace If thoy were to be restrained
only by war Hundreds of leading
Republicans among them Horace
Greeley entertained tho same views
Uponull questions allectlnghla loyalty
to the Union Bxyarda record la less
vulnerable than that of Jack Logan
the Republican vicepresidential can-
didate Bayard wanted to avert the
horrors of war and he thought It not
foagreata price for peace to consent to
the dismemberment of tho Union
Logan was a ranting copperhead and
promised the South all his aid in tho
war that was to come He even went
so far as to assist secretly in recruiting
mon for tho Southern hervlce aud had
Influenced numbers of men In South-
ern Illinois to go over Into Kentucky
aud join tho nrmloi of tho Southern
Confederacy If Bayard Is ineligible
for expressing a desire for peace at tho
expense of the Union how is Logan
more available with his record of bit
ter hostility to tho Union
A Discriminating Tariff for Revenue
Halfway Democrat who clamor for
that meaningless monstrosity the
Ohio platform and explain that they
want a tarlfffor revenue so adjusted
as to aflord discrimination in favor of
American industry should let the
public into tho secret of their plans to
adjust this tarilfsoas to encourage
labor and not foster monopolies At
presont that Is a profound and Inex
pllcable mystery All the protection
that a tariff can give is by taxing
foreign commodities so high that they
cannot pay such a tax and sell lu this
market against our homo productions
This gives the privilege to the home
manufacturer of putting the pricea of
his goods at tho cost of manufacture
plus the tax on foreign goods of Hko
grade If this tax is low the foreign
manufacturer cau enter his goods and
sell lu which event It gives no protcc
tlon at all If it is high foreign goods
aro excluded altogether and thus that
monopoly of tho home market
which Uio chauiplonq of tho Ohio
platform would not loiter la created
as effectually us under tho highest Re
publican protection tariff At what
pointsbalLwo reach Uu > happy mean
of a ax which shall neither keep out
foreign oods altogether nor yet mlmlt
them to pompotltion tyltb home man-
ufacture Pricwconstantly fluctuate
A tariff that would exclude certain
foreign goods might In a depressed
market fall utterly to keep out those
goods at tho very tinio when homo
manufacturers havo tho greatest fear
of competition And again what
manufactures shall this discriminating
tarlilfavor Each will demand that
it bo tho favored one Whichever it
may bo it Is very plain that those
which fall to get the benefit orthls dis-
crimination must suffer hot from
foreign competition nlono hut from
having to pay taNoa to malnUlii those
in whoso favor such taxes nro laid
There Is no middle ground In this
matter Any sort of discrimination is
protection and fosters monopoly That
Is tho Republican position however
much It may bo deformed aud mis-
named Tho other side is tho Demo-
cratic position deinaudlug a tariff
for revenuo only Tho Republicans
favor nrotcctlon aud monopoly forclug
millions of consumers to sustain a few
thousand manufacturers Tho Dem-
ocrats favor cheap goods to tho con-
sumer Men who call themselves
Democrats while preaching Republi-
can scripture had better chnugo their
livery aud como out Republicans in
name as well as in fart
Counting the Electoral Vote
In tho alarming days following the
election of 1870 and beforo tho seating
of Hayes In March 1877 when un-
certainty as to tho proper Interpreta-
tion of laws governing tho counting of
electoral votes threatened to Involve
tho country lu a contest between tho
two political parties there wa < < a loud
demand for the passago of laws which
should be so positive that there could
bo no controversy as o their mean-
ing It was demanded of congress
thatlts first work after orgauiing in
1S77 should bo tho simplifying of the
machinery of presidential elections
But with the ending of the occa-
sion requiring plainer laws tho feel-
ing lu favor of the enactment of
such declaratory laws declined
aud after nearly eight years no
action has been taken no advauce
lias been made but tho country Is
standing In the samo spot as it occu-
pied lu 1S70 No change whatever
has been made in tho election laws
Tho senate still claims tho right to
count tlie electoral votes and the house
as steadily denies ho right of tho sen-
ate to do so Identical conditions of
political antagonism exist between the
two branches of congress today as in
lb7G tho house is Detnocratio aud tho
senate Is Republican Upon u question
nlfectiug the validity of any con-
tested electoral vote tbo senate would
contend for its right to decide which
decision of course would be biased by
Republican prejudices while tho Dem-
ocratic house would as strenuously up-
hold the theory that tho decision on
such matters should be mndo by the
house aud senate as one body There
cau bono agreement upon this point
until this ambiguous law is superseded
by a declaration bo plain aud positive
as not to besutceptlbleof contradictory
interpretations
Two bills are now pending before
congress having for their object the so-
lution of this question one being the
Edmuuds bill lu the senate and the
other the Eaton bill In the bouse
Present indications nro unfavorable to
the passage of either or them Both
Democratic aud Republican members
are impatient at the prolongation of
the session and are ardent for an ear-
ly adjournment that will release them
and give them l < ave to enter tho polit-
ical combat where many have person-
al Interests at stake Everything that
can be delayed will go over for the
work of the Fortyninth congress No
body having personal orpolitlcal inter-
est enough to urge tbo passago of the
electoral bills it is more than likely
that they will share tho fate of their
predecessors and bo laid overfor future
action If so laid over there will be
no further oppoitunity for tho amend-
ment of the faulty laws until after tho
presidential election shall have taken
place and If there Is auy ditputo It
must bo settled undertholawas it now
stands
If It were not for the bias of the Re-
publican party toward centralization
which must be resisted by tho Demo-
crats the vexed question could ea lly
be disposed of by doing away with tlie
intermediation of the electoral system
which stauds between tho people nnd
tho expression of their choice for pres
ident A law allowing the president
to be voted for directly by tho people
as they vote for governors of states
would make presidential elections
more nearly tests of the feeling of the
country which is often thwarted by
the system of election by states It la
well known that the people have more
than ouco been denied their popular
choice for president by a system which
renders it possible for a bare majority
In
ono state to
balance au over-
whelming majority In another stato of
equal population Tlldena popular
majority of more than 250000 was not
disputed in 1870 oven allowing tho
Republican counts in Louisiana South
Carolina aud Florida and ho should
have been elected by that majority
New York in
18S0 gave Garfield a
popular majority of 21000 but cast hor
cutiM thirtyfour electoral votes for
him while Texas Missouri and Geoi
gla which gaye Hancock thlrlyfour
oleotoral votes cast for him u popular
majority of mt000 votes Democrats
as a partynro opposed to the breaking
down of tllo barriers that separate tho

quent conversion to Republicanism
his absorption of the Georgia railroad

signed in his favor tho party leaders
of Georgia who have been destroyed

satisfaction the inimitable picture of

thus cunningly spared tho naln In-
flicted if tho s ate had been held
responsible for the words nnd conduct
of selfwilled senator washing his

ceptible water The picture is as
clearly defined as that drawn by Eu-
gene tiuo of the wauilorlug Jow stand
ing in majestic solitude on tho frozen
shore of the frczjn ocean at Behrlugs
strait
Brown has been making himself
especially odious In Massachusetts
He has been delving sedulously Into
census returns in order to show that
the moral of Massachusetts aro Infi
nitely worse than those of Utah aud
that charity nnd reform should begin
at home He has made Hoar
blush and silenced representatives of
Now England who were especially
exasperated becauBS of the Mormon
system of public coucubinuge Brow n
was delighted uutll tho astute senator
from Kansas came to tbo rescue of ills
native land No special defence was
made of Masuachusetts morals or of
divorces hardly less numerous than
marriages But it was insisted that

Cynthia Ann Parker
Biiidvili June 151E61
To tho Editor oftho rj07ette
I see In your paper several commu-
nications in regard to Cynthia Auu
Parker One sajs she was captured In
Anderson county and another places
It hoiuewbere else so they all miss it
a little I thought I would tell my
opinion There was a Parker fort lu
Houston countyon the San Pedro bay
ou built and occupied by Daniel Par
ker and his family and n Parker fort
on the west side of Navasota about
two or three miles north of where tllo
town of Groesbeek Limestone county
now stands Oil the 10th day of May
183G this fort was capturedby the In
dians My grandfather seventynine
years oldand Benjamin and Silas Par
ker and Siuiuel Irost und his son
Robert were killed aud Betsy Kellogg
Rachel Plummornnd her little son
Pratt Plummer daughter and step
daughter of James Parker and Cyn-
thia Ann and John children of Silas
Parker wero taken prisoners Cyn-
thia Ann was then about eight or nine
years old She was recaptured by Gen
Sul Ross In 180L or Gti on the Pecos
river or Bomewhere in that region of
country and brought to Camp Cooper
Col J R Baylor then Indian agent
wrote to my father that a white wo-
man captured from the Indians was
there My father went and Identified
her and brought her and her little
daughter Tuekasonna home to where
I now live where sho remained ex-
cept while gone to Austin till tier
brother Silas came from Van Zandt
county und took her homo with him
which was the last time lever saw her
The notice you published for me had
the desired effect as I have received a
picture of Cynthia Ann and her child
which was mostly for the benefit of
