AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.

IL has been repeatedly suggested that
'hefe would be an independent man in

norship, against the nominee Of the
democratic convention. We are not of
those who would regard the move as
either unwholesome or dangerous. In
iced we rather like the suggestion, and
Tor variety of reasons which we pros
pose to state briefly, and we trust, clear

IL has been said by the northern
friends OF the Texas aud Pacific bill and
other southern interests pending in
congress. that it is unfortunate thai W..

IL II IS developed in the future that such
is an actual necessity, we are of the
opinion that Texas will not be one of
the states selected to make out
the list There never has been a
question sprung since Texas was
rehabilitated to bring out the full
strength of the democracy, and We
can only conjecture as TO what
that really is. Many well informed,
close observers and good judges in such
matters place our majority at one humid
red and twenty thousand. Our own
opinion is, that it cannot be far from
that number either way.
IL has been demonstrated that ALSO,
