The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1873-08-28

A stranger would have thought him any
thing but Radical, the way he went on.
We believe he pretended, for awhile, TO abb
jure Radicalism, until there was a chance TO
get an Office His politics always hung
looser than an old coat about him, and he
could put them on and throw them off much
easier He is anything and everything and
nothing, more particularly the last. His
nomination is a farce. Bob Taylor for
lieutenant Governor "Did you everl
NoI ncyer.n
J. ". THOMAS.
This man is hardly known out Of the cOun-
ty IN which he lives and where he publishes.
at Mckinney, a small weekly Radical paper,
called the Messenger. If his paper is small,
his capacity for editing it is still smaller. We
believe he is generally considered honest,
for Il Radical, and is more decent and res
pcctable than most Of his Radical brother
editors, and is, perhaps, the best Of the
whole lot But he has no qualifications for
the responsible Office for which he has been
nominated, and would not know what to do
when he got the position. We require for
the ofiieeof Comptroller Of Public Accounts
first class man in every respect, a real busE
ness man OF financial ability, who is capable
OF giving advice and keeping his office in
perfect order No ill-informed man, no
careless or indolcnt man, no incapable and
inefficient man, however honest, will do
for Comptroller, really one of the most i'm
portant offices in the State. Poor Thomas
Is weak as water, and afraid OF his shadow.
Some time ago, he got a notion into his
head that the Democrats wanted to assassi-
nate him, like Brutus and others did julius
Caesar. But he is in no danger. Such
men live long time. Should've however,
by some accident happen to be made Comp
troller, he might die of fright in the course
Of few months. His friends should not
have brought him before the public, but
the Democracy viii see that, for his own
good and that Of the State, he remains
safely at home.

A. r. MONROE.

We have heard this man called Gen. Mon
roe, but we can't imagine how he got the
title, unless from the fact that he has al
ways been Il general candidate for Office. We
are told that, like the valiant Bob Taylor,
he rushed Off to the bloody war and secured
the dangerous position of quartermaster. A
good story is still fresh in the memories of
the boys, who served near him, which
shows how lie acquired another title, that
will stick to him as long as he lives and is
far more appropriate than General. In the
course Of time the patriotic quarter
master of the Confederacy acquired
from Richmond no small quantity of
Confederate money, which he stored
away in m old trunk Some how
the money disappeared, and when the quar-
tennaster made out his accounts to send on
to Richmond, there was large item of Con-
federate bills destroyed by rats. So the
boys called him Rats Monroe, and they
know him by that familiar name even unto
this day. Whether this historic incident
was the cause Of his being selected for the
responsible Office of Treasurer, we cannot
say. But if the rats should get into the
Treasury of Texas and destroy half the
oreenBacks in the vaults, as they got into
the old trunk and made way with the gray
baeks-O, Loidy, what should we do2 But
we think there is no danger. The Democ-
raey will keep the traits" out and take care

How he Lost the Opportunity.

A useful hint to many young
men may be derived from this
little story, which the Springfield
(Mass.) Union, prints: "Not long
ago young man of this city had
q most favorable opportunity to
enter a business house in that
State, at a large increase over his
present salary, with a prospect of
soon getting a place ia the firm.
His recommendations were first
class, and the officers of the insti-
tuition were decidedly pleased
with his appearance. They, how
ever, made him no proposals, nor
did they state their favorable i'm
pressions. A gentleman of this
city was requested to ascertain
where the young man spent his
evenings, and what class ofyouEg
men were his associates. It was
found that he spent several nights
of the week in a billiard room on
Main street, and Sunday after
noon drove a hired span into the
country with three other young
men. He is wondering why he
didn't hear from the house con
corning that coveted position"

Brother Bill.
A LEGISLATOR GETS A MOIST RE-
CEPTION.


CEPTION.
The Sacramento Union tells the
following: An estimable lady
who presides over household in
this city has living with her a
sister and a brother-the latter,
Billy" being one of those good
natured fun-loving fellows, al
ways up TO mischief, and yet the
pet of the family. A few days
ago Billy, not having much to
do, remained at home the greater
portion of the forenoon-Satur-
day-and while the ladies were
fastening through their house.
hold duties, which required a lit
tie more attention than usual, ow-
ing to its being the close of the
week, he amused himself by
bothering them in various ways,
the most annoying of which was
going out quietly and ringing the
door-bell, thus frightening them
into the belief that a visitor had
called and caught them in toilet
scarcely presentable. Twice did
they thus answer the bell, only
to find that Billy was at his
tricks. After the second time
they "went for him" so savagely
that he promised to "clear out"
and. taking his hat, departed.
Five minutes later the bell rang.
''That's Billy again." calculated
the two females in chorus. "Pll
fix him." continued his younger
sister, and picking up a large pan
full of potato parings, squash
trimmings and dirty water she
slipped noiselesly out of the back
door and round the side of the
house to the front, where she
peered around the corner of the
building cautiously and saw the
figure of a man standing by the
side of the door with his back
toward her. Raising the pan to
just the right position, she sprang
around the corner and brought
the contents down full on TIE
head of Billy, while at the Same
instant the other sister, who had
very quietly approached the door
from the inside, suddenIy threw
it open, and with AIMS extended
bounded forward, enchanting,
Nov Pve gotyou!" Before the
words We're fairly out of her
mouth, she came to a sudden stop,
ana nelly shrieked with surprise
ana modification, as a glance
showed her that it wasn't Billy
&ne and her sister had captured,
but a middle-aged, well-dressed
stranger, and he stood with an
expression of alarm upon his
countenance, caused by the sim
gularity of his reception, while
his hat, hair, whiskers and cloth
ing were dripping with water,
fragments of squash, potatoes, etc,
giving him an appearance that
under other circumstances would
have been to the ladies irresisti-
bly, comical. Explanations were
finally made, when the stranger
proved to be a legislator, who had
been desired, by a mutual friend
in the upper country, to call and
deliver message while he was
here arranging for hotel accom-
modations.
