A JOINT resolution passed the Sen,
etc on the 25tb, instructing our Rep.
resentatives in Congress TO favor
an early completion Of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad. Right. This is an
enterprise Of the utmost Importance
to Texas, and is one that while its
early completion, would do more for
this State than any other three roads
either commenced or projected, its
grand advantage is that it will be Of
great practical utility to the general
government as well as the commer.
cial nations Of the world. There il
thousan1 reasons why we should
have the road, and not single one
against it.

From all parts of this congressional
district comes the popular clamor for
the nomination of ThrockmOrton for
congress. The press of the district is
almost unit in his support, and the
democratic hosts are rallying to his
standard everywhere. In this county
we could not have struck n more popu-
lar key toe the desires of the masses
when we hoisted the name of Throck-
morton as our choice. Since our last
issue we have conversed with many in
fluential men from every voting pre-
cinct of Hood, and with but one excep-
ton, all were warm advocates of the
man. 1t is high time that Texas should
send men of ability-true and tried
statesmen-to the nations councils.
With the rapid strides our state Is
making in progress, civilization and
industrial enterprise, it behooves Us, as
citizens, to send representatives to con-
gress that will not only command the
respect OF that entire body, but will be q
credit TO their constituents--an honor to
the great empire state from Which they
hail. Ex-Governor Throckmorton
stands conspicuously forth as one of the
ablest men Of our state. He Is the man
above all others that should have been
sent to the United States senate, but by
counter-plot and political intrigue, to
the disgrace Of our people, he was de-
feated. His identity with the best In
