Compliment 10 ~ Texas Con.
STeHSlmNn.

The Washington Post, speaking Of
men who did good service in congress,
and who should be retained by their
constituents pays the following hand
some compliment to Hon. Gustave
Schleicher, of Texas: 1.-THE managers
Of the Democratic party in the sixth
congressional district OF Texas, by call
ing a convention tor the middle of July,
which has usually been held as late as
September, have for their object the
defeat of Mr.. Schleicher, the present
representative, we sincerely hope they
will not succeed. We have not agreed
with Mr.. Schleicher in all that he has
done, and most certainly have disa-
greed with him in reference to his
course on the Army bill; but apart
from few idiosyncrasies of that ma
ture, which seem to have been shared
by the entire delegation, he has made
one the most useful, reputable and in
Huential members the Democratic
party has had. He has now attained
an acknowledged rank, and will be
much more useful in the next congress
than any new member could hope to be
no matter how pronounced his talents.
1t is a great mistake to constantly ro-
tate good men out and untried men in
"A mistake W hich the old south new
er made, and which the Republican
party has had the good sense also to
avoid. We would hardly know Mr..
Schleicher if we saw him; but we do
know that he reflects credit upon the
Democratic party, and can be of more
service to his state than any two new
members they can select.
