MEETING OF THE TEXAS STATE
GRANGE. ..f
Election of Delegates.

The next annual session of the
State Grange will be held at Shcr-
man, beginning on the second Tues
day in January. The Constitution
designates the first Saturday in No
vember as the time, and the county
seat as the place of meeting for the
election of delegates to the State
Grange. The basis ofrepresentation
is one delegate for the county at
large, one for every twenty Oranges,
and one for every fraction of fifteen
Oranges in county. All Masters
resident in county will meet
promptly we trust at the time and
place named, and attend to this i'm
portant matter.
Should there from any cause be a
failure to elect at the time and place
above designated, it becomes the du-
ty of the Master living nearest the
county seat to call meeting for the
election of delegates as prescribed
by the constitution.
The above applies to oranges in
the Indian Territory as well as to
those in this State; and we trust that
at the next session there will be q
full representation from all the vast
regions now operating under the
jurisdiction of the Texas State
Grange.

About District Judges.

We sometimes hear the question
asked as Judge Alexander the Dem
ocratic nominee 2" We think so;
but what If he is not How came he
to be candidate for judge? Let us
see, Falls county held regular Dem
ocratic county convention, and,
among other things, appointed dele
gates to judicial convention, with
unanimous instruction to vote for l..
G.. Alexander MS the Democratic
nominee. Soon after, Bell county
pursued idcntically the same course.
The McLennan county convention
came last. There was no one in the
district authorized TO call district
convention and if one was TO be held,
il must have been by mutual consent.
Bell county was entitled to twenty
seven votes, in case such convention
was held, Falls county, to sixteen
votes, making the two counties vote
equal to forty-three (43) and all in
structed for Alexander. The vote of
McLennan was only twenty less
than third of the whole. And
what difference did it make whether
McLcnnan instructed for Alexander
at all-he already had more than
enough votes to insure his nomina-
ton even if McLennan instructed
unanimously against him.
What did McLcnnan Democrats
do? Why, when their convention
met, fully concurring in the action OF
the other counties, and seeing the
utter uselessncss of any district con-
vention, they formally endorsed AL
exander, by two votes separately
taken, and with entire unanimity in
each vote, and declared him the
nominee Of the party for district
Judge. These facts are of record.
There was no candidate in the field
then, Judge Alexander not even hav-
ing announced himself a candidate
He has never yet announced himself
but the democracy of Falls, Bell, and
McLennan, without solicitation OIL
his part, have, of their accord, mad,
him their candidate. Don't that
look like the very best sort of nom
nation? The "catawampus" light
thrown upon the facts by legal spec
tacles, may distort it somewhat to O
technical eye sight, but TO plain peo,
Fple, of ordinary vision, who look
straight at thing, there seems to be
so difficulty.
Technical sophistries addressed tt
Democrats with Il view to show thai
Alexander is not the regular candi
date of the party, come with poor
grace from a McLennan county Dem
ocrat. If he is not the regular can
didate, then the entire delegation
from all the precincts of the county
to the county convention, were min
cumpoops" and ought to be bored
for the simples. They spoke the
party voice distinctly, were author
lied to speak it, and if they mean
simply to deceive their brethren o
Falls and Bell, and "trick" them on
