From the tenor of the press II would
seem that Ex-Governor Throckmorton
will be the coming aspirQnt for con-
gresslonal honors in the third district.
AS for the ability Of Governor rhrock-
morton, we doubt not but that he
would ill this important office with
honor TO himself aud credit TO his
state. His past political record is proof
conclusive that he is deserving the
highest public gifts of which his peo-
pie can bestow.--L Westward Empire.

1t Is permanent feature Of the
landscape for some hall-do2en natives
to gather around some dropsical melon
and hold II post m0rtem examination,
while the other members of the con-
are lying around In festoons,
counting the drowsy god, until the
crisis has arrived for them to try am
other melon. We would not insinuate
that there is lack of enterprise in the
party, rs some can be seen pursuing the
evasive flea, or rollinga cigarito. San

The Austin Statesman of the 18th
instant says:
The feeling in favor Of calling con-
stitutlonal convention is growing very
strong. II is looked upon az the only
final relief from the ills which we now
suffer, Ii is cheering to note the num-
bers who wheel into line and suggest
ample and sufficient reasons in favor
of the call. The governor is in favor
of convention, and we would not be
if those members of the leg
islature who opposed convention at
the last session were TO come out also
as strong advocates in favor of one.
The feeling is becoming almost cpl
demic.
Magical indeed has beenthe growth
of this wonderful city. Only few
years ago, and Dallas was n small from
tier town of ten or twelve hundred in
now she claims to be bril-
liant city of fourteen thousand. Situa-
ted in the center of the richest belt of
the state, with railroad facilities from
every point of the compass or soon
will have--to say that she will, ere
long, be the Atlanta of Texas, is no
improbable gift of the future. Dallas
has long since lost her bubble reputa-
has died out-and
she is now being built upon substan-
tal foundation. She has always been
favored with a spirited class of citizens,
whose motto is onward they pride
IN surprising, and are not |
content with being second to anyIthis |
is shown in her iron bridge, and street |
magnificent buildings
and u court house, the "pride of Texas" |
besides many other charms, to say |
nothing of her gas works. WESTWARD |
