SILAS HARE.
Hare and Davis had a joint dis-
cussion at Denton last Saturday. As
to which gained the victory, we have
not learned.
Congressman 1 >avidron, of Florida
has introduced a bill to appropriate
$200,000 for prevention and sup-
pression of yellow fever. The ob-
ject is to pay for the clothing and
infected goods that are destroyed by
order of the boards of health in try-
ing to stamp out the disease. If
this is not constitutional it is a com-
mendable use of a small part of the
treasury surplus.
The following is the full list of
nominations made by the slate dem-
ocratic convention at East Dallas
last week:

The rains seem to 1 ave been gen-
eral over the northern part of the
state, guaranteeing a boom in busi-
ness for the next yeav.
Beiva Lockwood seems to regard
Mrs. Cleveland, and not Grover, her
most formidable obstacle to her
gaining the Whitebouse.
There is no mistake about Gover-
nor Ross having pleased his party
in his cilicial capacity, as his unani-
mous re-nomination indicates.
The Dallas convention ignored
the prohibition question after a lit-
tle sparing on the subject in the
election of temporary chairman.
There is a general feeling in fa-
vor of a constitutional convention,
as the constitution is defective in
several particulars, especially regard-
ing the public schools and railroad
supervision.
The issue is surely set on high or
low tariff. is now stated that the
senate will act on the suggestion of
Mr. Blaine and not formulate a tar-
iff bill, but light it out on the lines
already drawn by the two platforms.
Turn the campaign gum. loose.
The entire state ticket was renom-
inated at the Dallas convention with
the exception of one Associate jus-
tice—the substitution of Judge Hen-
ry for Judge Walker. This is a
substantial endorsement of the pres-
ent ad in i ii i tret ion by'the democracy
of Texas.
The Blue and the Gray mingled
their camp songs and scout experi-
ences at the veteran reunion at San
Pedro camp at San Antonio last
week. The boys >\ ho did the hon-
est fighting on both sides are at
peace, but many of the stay-at-homes
are chewing their cud of animosity
yet.
A Deserved Compliment.
The Dmocrfuic State Convention
of Texas, assembled at Dallas on
August *16th, unanimously adopted
the following resolution:
“Recognizing The St. Louis Re-
public under its present name and
management as one of the greatest
Democratic journals of the country,
and appreciating the new life and
vigor and the rapidly growing influ-
ence of this stauuchest friend of De-
mocracy, Texas and the Southern
people, wo do hereby indorse The
Republic, commend its enterprising
efforts, and would commend it to
every reader in this State.”
Hare’s request for new primaries
and convention in Denton county
has been refered by district chair-
man Barefoot to couhty chairman
Dr. Blount of Denton with request
to so act if he finds Hare’s charges
true. Chairman Blount refuses to
order new primaries and convention
as they had been regularly called
and properly organized and dele-
gates elected. We think Blount’s
grounds are well taken, for'the prac-
tice of tampering with the work of
citizens in the primaries whose duty
it is to see that the work is done
right, is a dangerous one—one to
which there would be no eud once
established. But there can be no
objection to a change of the place
of holding the district couvcntio.n
to a place not so directly interested
in either of the candidates.
STATE AND JGENERAL NEWS.
Mr. 8. 8. Carson, a young man
driving the mail between Oak-
land and Weimar, was held up by
n masked robber about three
milea north of Oakland, at a

Some of Hare’s papers state that
men from Cook county have been iu
Denton count} trying to influence
the people in the interest of Davis.
Such tales wc believe to lie as false
ah the hearts of the men originating
them. Wc only know of one man
being at this place in the interest of
either candidate, and that was Judge
Hare’s son.-^-Lcwisville Headlight.
We don’t know how it was at
Lewisville, but wc do know that men
from Gainesville were at the primary
convention at Pilot Point and used
their influence for Davis, and that a
“cut and dried” list of delegates was
secretly prepared before hand, all of
whom were Davis* men. Wo arc
justified in believing that those
Gainesville men were the instigators
' of this plan.

Millitla CcDoernlug Public Libraries.
Some library statistics riiow that tiia
European country which joswrac* the
largest number of public libraries is Aus-
tria. In Austria there are no fewer than
677 public libraries, containing 5,475,000
—without reckoning maps and manu-
scripts—a total which comes out nt 20
volumiM per 100 of the population.
Franco possaMMO 600 public libraries,
containing 4,598,000 volumes and 185,-
000 manuscripts, or 18 volumes per 100
of tbs inhabitants, Italy ranking next
with 403 librarian. 4,849.000 volumes
and 880,000 manuscripts, or 10 volumes
per 100. In Germany the public libra-
ries number 898, containing 2,040,000
volumes and 58,000 manuscripts, or 11
volumes per 100 of the population.
Great Britain possesses only 200 publis
libraries, according to there statistics, the
volumes numbering 2,671,000 and the
manuscripts 20,000. There are 143
libraries in Russia, with 952,000 volumes
and 24,000 inamiHTipts. or a fraction
over 1 volume to 100 persons.
It is noteworthy that in Bavaria alone
tlie public libraries numlier 109, with
1,808.00'' volume** and 24.000 manu-
scripts. Reviewing tbs principal libra-
rie separately, it appears that the most
