DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.

THE HERALD IN called upon to-day
10 announce the death of another old
and respected citizen of Texas. Il. p.
Bryan, sr., departed this life on the
morning of the 9th Of May, In the
slxty-sixth year Of his age.
Mr.. Bryan was born In North Caro-
lima on the nth of May, 1900, and i'm
migrated TO Texas In lSi7, settling In
the eastern portion of the state. In
1870 he moved 10 Dallas, where he has
since resided. He has been in de-
Ginning health for some time, and last
winter, In the hope of beneiiting him
SELF made IN overland trip TO Mexico.
Though beneficial, the journey failed
to restore him, and he returned home,
n few weeks ago, to die among his
kindred.
Mr.. Bryan was the father of twelve
children, seven of whom are still liv-
Jug, nyvui Inem being residents of
Dallas, and embracing in the number
some of our most prominent and prom
ising merchants.
Mr.. Bryan had been consistent
member Of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church for over forty years previ-
GUS to his death. After n long and
honorable life, he has been gathered
to his fathers, leaving behind him II
name and record rs an honest, indus
trious, christian gentleman that his
descendants may well be proud of, and
which every citizen can emulate with
honor to himself and his posterity.
Peace to his ashes.

THE CONTEMPORARIES AN.
BWERED.

The Galveston News gives synop
sis of the views of John Henry Brown
as candidate for the constitutional
convention in this district, speaking o
that gentleman in very high terms
The Henderson Times copies from til,
News, endorsing Mr.. Brown, and ther
says:
"Your head is level, major, so fal
as you go. AS you, If elected, WILL IL
part, represent us, will you please an
swer whether you are in favor of the
new tangled doctrine of undisturbed
tenure which has cropped out at one
or two points? In other words, when
do you propose your election of officers
by the people to commence? Are you
in favor of new deal, or do you pro-
pose, by little special providence, in
the shape of an ordinance, to retain
the present officials, good, bad and in
different?"
Our reporter, with heabove in hand
called on Major Brown and asked his
answer to the query Of the Henderson
Times. He replied, categorically, as
follows:
"The Henderson Times ought to put
such questions to its own candidates.
My general views have been frankly
published and sent all over our dis
trict. 1 do not wish the vote of any
man, for so responsible position, I'M
less he thinks my views and princi-
pies are best for the interest of the peo-
pie ofTexas. The questions put by the
Henderson Times involve no question
of principle, but simply incidental
matters of propriety and machinery
in the state administration. If we
remodel our judicial machinery, lessen
the number of district judges, create
the Office of county Judge, rearrange
and increase the number of Justices
courts, separate the duties of assessor
and collector from justices of the peace
as assessors, and form the sheriffs as
collectors, by creating the distinct and
responsible ofllce OF county assessor and
collector, If we make the Office of at
torney general elective by the people,
and in many other respects change the
present confused and burdensome
mode, how, in the name of COM
mon sense, is the simplest and
cheapest manner of putting in opera
ton the new and improved order of
things? Common sense is ready with
the answer. The plain and simple |
course is to elect anew, under the new
every officer made cleo
tive by that instrument-in other
words, to have new DEAL as ex-
pressed by the Times. ] favor no !
