MAKJNG SENATOR'S ron TEXAS
TIE CAT our OF TME NAG.

says that The DALLAS HERALD'S re-
lentless hostility to Ireland grows out
of the fact tbat 1t is the organ of the
Texas Pacific Railroad company, aud
also its right bower, the Austin clique,
and, as matter Of course, ii reflects
the views of the Texas ard Pacific
ring Mt the capitol. This accounts for
the "milk in the c0cOanut.p VIII
not the writer Of the above designate II
few of the members OF the Texas and
Pacific ring operating here nj the CAPT
tol? We have heard that such ring
existed, and that is purpose was TO
make Hancock Senator--L AasiM &i0teS.
man.
There is Just such q ring, Mr.. States
man, aud II had its headquarters NJ
Washington. 1t is working in the in
terests of TIE TeXas and Pacific Rail-
road, and is seeking to thrust Ham
cock upon the people of Texas as thpir
United States Senator Governor D..
w. ThroCkmorton, whom every man,
woman and child in The State Of Tex
MS knows to be one the moving spirit
IN the Texas and Pacific Road has
been writing to the press of the state
and to members in the interest OF Ham
cock. Mr.. Throck is one Of the
Stockholders IN THE DALLAS HERALD,
and therefore it is easy TO account for
the position of that paper. IL won't
work, however. The TeXes and Pa
cilic is not strong enough to make Som
ators for Texas, yet Dnilds CO7tN&-

We do not know that tits necessary
for us to declare the above statements
false. We believe That every inuna
ton, even. every line and sentence is
untrue, save that the Hon. j, w
Throckmorton Is a stakeholder in Fnl
HERALD. Out OF $4,000 worth o
stock held, Governor Throckmorton
owns simply 500, and he exercises nc
more influence over this paper by rea'
son of such ownership than the KIM
of Siam or any other remote dignitary
For Governor Throckmorton opin
lion THE HERALD has the highest
ISSuihi lOi ~ tchNSiNSo mn
to be an accomplished and mastery
statesman, and as such, and as our i'm
mediate representative, THE HERALI
will do all in its power TO honor him
as he deserves to be honored. Cover
nor Throckmorton does not contro
The HERALD, nor seek TO control 1t
and We feel that heawould be quick t
repel such an insinuation. Al
though owned by a stock compap.
The HERALD often runs counter to tn
views of many of its owners, iapan in
dependent. open and fearless adVocac.
of what is conceived to be uprigh
principles and of good government
Neither the Pacific railroad nor an.
other railway company or corporation
either within or without Texas, pre-
sumes TO dictate the policy of Til
| HERALD, or to for a moment to contro
| its utterances. 1t is to the interest q
the people of northern Texas TO bulld
1
| this great line, and since such is he
interest The HERALD has ever advan
sced it. The policy of The HERALl
is largely under the control q
its editor, and he seeks ouly t
elevate it to the highest journal
istic position, and to make it
1 power for good among people whor
IL has faithfully served for over twenty
six years. The judgment of that edito
is not infallible; like. his confreres In tn
profession he oftentimes falls into Ell
rors incident to the pressure and hurr
of daily journalism, but however fault
I and broken may be his utterances
{ their object and purpose is to dignlf
and eXalt The press, and to secure f.
our people the largest share of prosper
ity and happiness.
