THE NENT sENITOR FOR TEXAS.
The Importance OF EleciinG n Man Of Sound
Discretion.


WASHINGTON, April 3.-The election Of
United states Senator from Texas In place OF
Mr.. Hamilton, whose term has nearly expired,
excit. more than ordinary interest. The Legis-
latuIe Is largely Democratic. In fact, the ma
tofity much too large, either for the interests
OF the public or Of the party. A strong minority
is always restraint ON loose legislation, and a
check against the danger of excess In the use OF
power.
In crushing out the voice Of any opposition in
Congre :, by the admission ot rotten Duroughs
In the senate and by other means In the House
so as to secure two-thirds when necessary, the
Republicans prepared the way for the corrup-
ton and frauds whose imperfect exposure Is
now startling the country. Indeed, these wicked
agencies were emploved to procure that major
ity and the burden fell ON the people by plumber
Of the Treasury.
The Democrats nave not been forum te in the
selection Of Senators from several states which
tGey have recovered during the last few years.
The taint Of Bourbpnism Is seen and felt injuri-
ou-ly. There Is n strong convection and perhaps
a stronger prejudice among the people against
confding the Government 10 the hands of men
who are believed to accent the results OF the
war with mental reservation.

Advice to Secretary Taft.

The new Secretary of War has been in

likely will extend his tour eventually so
Us to take in all our Atlantic coast FORTH

open and listens to the voice OF his own

brate their own performances, he may

Bervicc to the country.
Countless millions have been spent on
our coast Notifications IN building, repair
Ing manning, and maintaining them.
They are never done. Al enormously ox-
pensive fort, like that still building on
Staten Island, and first known rs Fort
Tompkins and now as Fort Wadsworth, is
only half completed when the changes in
the conditions of naval warfare and the
new needs for harbor defence render il
practically obsolete and Of no real use

The greatest cause Of weakness and dan
ger TO the Democratic party in this state
AT present is that oue-man power known
as Tamnany Han, the Tammany Society.
or the Columbian Order. BY means OF this
organiZat on one man attempts to control
ana sway the Democracy of this metropo-
lis, aud 10 use its votes and It's influence
for his Individual purposes. This organ
ization, and the system by which 1t lives
aud acts, are the eXnct opposite Of every
thing which constitutes real democracy.
lis existence opens the way to abuses OF
the grossest nature, pecuniary and poliii-
cal, AS has been seen IN the case of TWEED
aud CONNOLLY, who made TammaEy n
means OF public robbery, and as is seen
now in the case of SoHN KELLY, who
makes Tammany the means OF crafty Ing
an obstinate, unmtellieeut lust for per-
sonal power and autocratic domination.
At the last State election the blindness,
the stubbornnoss, the narrow, mistaken
views, and the proScriptive spirit which
controlled Tammany Hall, came near
overwhelming the Democracy Of the IN
tire state in lgnominious defeat; and but
for the extraordinary vitality of the re-
forming ideas which Gov. TILDEN had in
fused into the party, this disastrous result
would have been most decislvely accom-
plshed. As it was, Tammany was over
whemed in the election; and while the
Democracy, united under wise counscls,
and working in II truly democratic mln-
ner, can easily ana surely attain nfiy thou
sand majority ut any election IN tins city,
the Tammany ticket was covered with
shame and with ridiculous defeat.
viii the Democrats OF the State continue
to ally themselves with this odious, this
unpopular, this fatal organization, or will
they separate from It, reject all alliance
with it, and by turning t out of doors lay
the foundation for n free Democratic party
in the metropolis. and Tor the solid and
permanent predominance of genuine dem
ocrailc ideas and Interests throughout the
Statey This is a serious question, and i'll
telligent Democrats IN every township and
city cannot reflect upon it too deeply or
too wisely. A state convention Of great
importance is soon 10 be held. This con
venton may settle all differences, and re-
lieve the party OF its greatest danger by
determining that the delegates Of Tam
many Hall shall not be received n repre-
sentiug the Democracy of this city.
