The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1875-05-08
ESTABLISHED, 1919

to show the Inconsistencies of the sys'
TEN, and to point out the power and
means IL places In the hands of bad
and vicious men to wreak petty spleen
or crafty private malice. The inqul'
silions of the body are wholly Gr PdHc
and this Of itself should be sufficient t.
condemn II, while ii II u fact patent tt
all that they are n useless and eXtraya
CANT incubus upon the counties, ana
are more frequently used as an engine
of oppression and persecution than a'
a means to further the ends of justice.
lr is reported that Major Van Handt,
of Fort Worth, chairman of the sena-
/ torial committee for this district, ih-
tends to call n district nominating con-
yeution. THE HERALD believes this Is
certainly amistake, and that the major,
so far, is only seeking the sense of the
democracy of Tarrant, rs to whether
they will nominate one man from
their own county, which is all right II
such should be their wish. lfTarrant
agrees on her man, as one of the three
delegates, the democracy of Dallas VIII
support him, and so of Ellis. so far rs
known, however, the democrats OF
Dallas want no convention FOR the
whole district nor in their own county.
They are ready to support the choice OF
Tarrant and Ellis for one delegate
each, but prefer to select their own
man in their own way. Such is un-
questionably the general feeling now.
IL GOVERNOR COKE would see to it
that murderers in other portions of the
state were punished instead of their
crime being winked ut by the author
tiles, he would have more of the SYM
pathy of good people when he asks for
aid on the border than he is now enti-
tied to.
The above is taken from the Topeka
(Kansas) Commonwealth, owned and
edited by a man named f. +.
Baker, who also fills the position of
postmaster at Denison, Texas. He
was at one time connected with an in
dividual of this city in the publication
of praise-be-to- God-E. j. Davis-loyal-
league-U. S. Grant sheet at Denison
called the Red River Journal. The
fellow is too well known for his men
dacity for his statements to be re-
ceived with anything but contempt.

THE Philadelphia Times. in speaking
of the recent misfortune which has
overtaken eX-United States Senator
James w. Nye, of Nevada, pays the
following handsome tribute to his ge-
MUS:
But time, with its swift mutations,
Il different control to his little
state, and, as age dimmed his eye ana
bowed his once erect form, power, place
ana frleDuS ueSeTleu Hlil, anu soi-
rows came, "not single spies, hut in
battalions.n There were no ap-
plaudits to welcome him in his
home. Other altars had been
erected, and his worshipers had wan
dered in their devotion. The man of
gold had climbed into bis place, and
his work was done. The painful story
of his mental alteration first came out
as he strayed from railroad train in
Virginia, and was found in helpless
cropping his way he knew
not whittier and now in the Bloom
ingdale asylum rests the brilliant ora
tor whom the intellect and culture of
the nation but yesterday paid tribute.
Thus man "frets his hour upon the
stage, and then is heard no more"
