1 arc content to vote for a ■ free silver
candidate will go into the primary

man will not vote for Got. Roberts
fur hi- is just as objectionable on that
question us Governor (hilbcrtton.
The Watchm •..swill not attempt to
oiler au explanation of this migrate
ful act of the lxx Governor. It may
Ik* that he like “pap” Kcagnu is |kjn-
whbmI of an insatiable and an irre-
•pressible desire to feed at the public
crib. It may In* that he lias been in-
duced to euaet the Judas Iscariot
rule and hctriiy the democracy that
has loved and fostered him by listen-
ing to tho sin'll songs of cer-
tain i m inu s of tire grand old
|>arty. It may la* a deep laid
scheme of the |N>pulists to cross the
tin- K'd mu into C'aannn by roliiug
irp the-waters of democracy on each
side of them.
But to revert to the Doctor's arti
cle. The Watchman does think that
a little of the pay as you go would be
hearty for Texas about this time and.
moreover, it thinks tbnt we will have it
under Gov. Culberson's udmiuistra
tion. The deficits in the school fund
and iu the state treasury arc about
wiped out and everything will be on
a cash liaais in a few mouths. Gov.
Hogg's administration was n<sponsi-
ble for the deficit, this cannot be
charged to the present administra-
tion. Guv. Roberta enn't cast stones
ut the Culbeiwon'a record for be him-
self has publicly commended and in
domed it.
Dr. McDaniel considem the act of
Guv. Rohm the effort of n patriot to
■are hi* country from fanaticism and
Tillmaniam. If it be patriotism to
tarn Texas orw to populist domina-
tion, thereby clogging the wheels of
progress flag years to coma and bring
ing apon o«ur fair atato the dtetoi
and evil effects which have accom-
panied populist rule in Colorado and
Kansas and everywhere elae that the
populist party haa held the rrtaa of
power, if this be patriot i am than let
ua hare none of H. The action of

towards aound money men wws on
just, unfair and outrageous, the
Waroraan knows this and haa always

Tax crop proapect was never better
in I’nnola county. The seasons have
been propitious and (he indications
now pofbt towards an immense crop
of corn nud cotton this fall. One
good crop with a fair price for cotton
would put tho people of thie county
in easy circiiuirtuncrt,. Very little
is being bought on time coaiinrcd
with fonner years, and tLu majority
of our farmers will have what they
make this fall to apuud when and
how they please.

Tni'.Ki; railnmd coiniuissirmers are
to be* elected this year an I derno-
ciats will vote for tlm-e .in the next
pi imary. Them arc quite a number
of candidates, the most prominent of
whom is lloii. Jno. D. McCall, for
many years comptroller of the state
and who Iwars the reputation i t Im-
iug the most thorough busiuos man
who has ever been ccuuccUd with the
adininistratieu of Ftnte affairs. Mr.
McCall is as honest as the day is
long, is in close touch with the peo-
ple of Texas and understands their
wants anil necessities end would
make a most excellent railroad com-
missioner. Not a better man could
be found in tho state for the per it ion.
The editor has known Mr. McCall
several years and bus never ' met a
more perfect gcutlcuiau nor y more
faithful public servant.
Other candidates fur this position
who would make good runuing mates
with Jno. D. MA'ull are Hou. Allison
Mayfield, the present secretary of
state and the Hon. Jno. B. Peyton of
Trinity. Mr. Mayfield is from Sher-
man and is one of the most popular
men in tea acctioa. He ia highly
qualified for a place on the railroad
commission and would serve the peo
pie wall ia that capacity.
How. Jno. B. Peyton waa a mem-
ber of the last legislature and the
Wivvaxix refers to him tore upon
the rseouMaendatiew of Judge Long
who was ia the legislature with hiir.
Judge Long says that he ia a splen-
did maa for the place and hopes to
sue him alerted. Mr. Peyton is a
mill maa and understands the need*
of shippers.
The W aicanaa recommends these
three gentlemen to the democrats of
PSaota for no otter meson than a tie-"
sirs to see the beat men alerted. .The
Jane to participate ia tha primary,
It is maulfest that a keen interest is
being felt from constable ap, ia lb*
result. While the writer has so posi-
tive proof, be thinks be bat good
grounds to bclU-vu that the populists
aru at work to prevent s* far as pos-
sible nay of the colored voters from
participating.
Well, the political fire has begun
to Idiue in every neighborhood, and
flout ttwar, will crackle and roar,
making, at timee such a din and
rabble at to frighten a fellow that
was wot used to such things. It ia
abou^now as it has been for tha
longest. I know when 1 was a
small boy I went to a blacksmith
shop with two,n(gro boys with whom
1 played. My father was a hot
whig. I told the negro hoys
the stroke of the small hammer said
''democrat'’ and the great ham-
mer *• whig.’’ Thus—“democrat”—
thus—“whig” with a heavy
emphasis' on the “whig.” They
took U»uu with mu aud claimed tbe
reverse; I could not stand for light
weight to be attached to my father’s
party and a quarrel followed and
cuded in oue of tbe hardest fights of
my life.
The following is true of Sarge
Plunkett's father, the tame
Plunkett who writes for the Atlanta
Couititution. This was back in the
forties—times of utter [urity and
fairness in elections, you know.
Our election was butd at Zebu Ion,
Ga. As the day drew to a close
and the count proceeded nearly one-
half the voters were or. a whiz aud
everything tr> ing to raise a row and
get up a light. Abo.it ilark l’lun
kell's father secured a companion
and tied a smalf grass rope a few
iucIht above the ground near a fear-
ful loblolly of slush and red mud,
aod a little further on began a sham
tight. This of course attracted the
attention of the crowd and they ran
pell me!) to the fray. The first man
to tho rope tripped and tumbled
hcadl'ing into the mudhole, the sec-
ond raiue in oh him, The first
reached f<>r the second, friend or
foe—a tight was on. in two minutes
25 or 3(1 men were fighting to beat
six bits. After tbe fight not oou of
those fellows would havebeeurecog-
nized by his wife. These were tbe
good old days of our dad*. The
truth is every day has its dog aud
every dog lias its day.
A good old man told me not long
ago that “they'’could call him what
“they” pleased but liq was aThoma-
-oiiian (lumocrat and wgs going to
vote heieafter fo* men and not par-
ty principles. I started to try that
the first lime I ever voted. There
were a score of men out for tbe va-
rious olHte*, a half dozen or so for
each place. I was banded s ticket
and told to strike out tbe names of
those I did not wmat to vole for.
Looking over (be list 1 said, in earn-
est too. 1 like all these fellows, I am
going to vole for the whole business.
No, *ai«p a fellow, yon can’t vote for
but one for each office. I said,
what! Ain’t this a free country
aud ca*:’t a fellow vote fur who be
pleases? Yes, be Mid, but it won’t
count. Aba, 1 said, yon don’t pro-
pose to give a fellow a fair count do
yon? IL said, you get out from
here and soak yoar feat, your head
I* soft enough, and 1 went home «usd
told my wife there waa going to be
war about 'bis voting business la
lean than tea years; a fallow coaldn’t
vote for whom bo wanted to, and
bis vote wouldn’t be counted if be
did.
Once when good old Squire Gam-
mage waa running for collector,
of his opponents wan electioneering
a fellow and tha voter umd, yea I
don't mind to toll yon, aay it every-
where; I am going to vote for yon
and Squire Gaea mage if I live to get
to the polls; and ha amaat it too.

Iu 1853 congress reduced the
amount of silver iu all silver coins
from half dollar* down and gave le-
gal tender quality to the amount of
$5. This art, however, did not effect

out.
In 1857 (orcigu silver dollars wore

In 1890 the Sherman act, requiring
