AND RANDALL IN 1850.


II it be true that Randall and Til
den have affected partnership the
probabilities favor the nomination of
Tilden in 1880. Randall and Tilden
each yields great Influence, and their
corporation, Tilden having unlimited
financial resources, will endanger the
fortunes OF Thurman, Hendricks, Bay
ard and Hancock. Tilden's nomina-
ton is preferred by many democratic
leaders because he relieves them of
the necessity of supplying money for
campaign purposes. Tue presidency,
like the imperial purple of old Rome,
La the subjec. of bargain. and sale to an
extent never known till Grants time,
and the Republican leaders, having
held the treasury for eighteen years,
are infinitely richer than Democrats,
who are hardly to be blamed for adhe-
SION to the gilded TIlden-Randsll
hierarchy. The rank and file of the
party are poor, end the average North
ern Democratic wealth is infinitely less
than that Of the average Republican.
All the fat jobs OF the war and the Gus
tom houses and man-of-war-shiPs and
lucrative positions of every character
have been monopolized by Republi-
cans. Therefore they can nominate
Grant, who is comparatively poor,
while the Northern Democrats must
adhere to Tilden. Money is 3 good
thing TO have in 9 modern political
compalgu, and the preference lately
expressed for Tilden's especial friend,
Randall, shows what result may be ex-
pected. Iupecunious party leaders
should not be blamed. They have no
Zick Chandler or Simon Cameron,
with countless millions to scatter, as
did Mithridates in the path of pursuing
Roman legions, along the broad, open
highway trodden by modest, honest
gentleman like Bayard. Tilden would
not expend dollar save in his own be-
half, and it seems that the party lead
ers at the worst have resolved upon
their course. How the party leaders
of the South can assent remains to be
seen. The democratic soft money
platform of Texas and all the southern
aud western States must be thrust
aside; Southern Pacific railway and
every measure designed to promote the
fortunes of the Southern States and
must be abandoned and the party
stulti6ed here if it bow before the
majesty OF Raudall's cunning and Til
denis money.

THE San Antonio Herald, edited by
General II. p. Bee and Judge Lyle,
declares that the people of Texas will
not stand an increase of the rate OF
taxation or an increase of the public
debt for free schools. Senator Sto-
rey's assertion, and it is true, that the
public debt has increased more than q
million dollars since the present con-
stitution went Into force, will make re-
flecting people open their eyer. He
shows, too, that owing to shrinkage

Of avoiding this, and Of stopping the
increase Of the debt by issuing bonds
to meet deficiencies the Democratic
party will be put In bad fix. The
republicans vote for all these liberal
gifts to the free schools, but the Dem
ocrats, being in power, with large
majority, will be held responsible.
Republicans in the city have been
heard to saY that it was their policy to
vote all extravaganza measures. They

A LITTLE fiutter exists among county
seat lawyers of one or two counties
over the act which transfers William
200 county to Judge Blackburn's dis
tncs. This change was an absolute
nscessity. Judge Turner, in whose
district Williamson county had been
until now, had more work than he
could do. He held court last year
every day in the year except Sundays.
There was no place to which William
son county could be transferred except
TO Judge BlAckburn's district. Even
that change did not AFFORD fun ro-
lief to Judge Turner, for all the

SENATOR INGALLS,, of Kansas, wears
bobtsiled, solid sscque coat, dove
colored and dingy. But his name, I'M
like Cameron's, is not associated with
that OF soiled dove. But Ingalls, has
genius if not ability and should dress
differently. He cuts the figure of
fidgety New York drummer even
among grave Senators, and is I'M
worthy in this of his people and State.
Would not Cicero be forever ridicu-
lous in our memories and degraded If
pictured in "Yi0i Roma" IN so short q
sack that when he leaned forward and
exclaimed, "Quamdiu. Catalina" etc.,
his breeches, rusty and worn, became
frightened and his person exposed2
Ingalls, can never be reverenced by
readers of "T'ivi Ameriee" until his
sffectation of recklessness in the tri1le
of dress is reformed. Clay, Webster
Calhoun and Pinckney set the country
examples in habits of dress, as of
thinking, which should be followed
through all time. Whenever a Sem
ator fancies himself 80 far superior to
the old statesmen-of America that he
can afford to defy their virtues aDd
philosophy and despise their patriot
ism, then they may also despise laws
of dress and of social decorum and
good taste never outraged save by the
vulgar and depraved. If Mr.. ingalls,
affect cosrseness and carelessness of
dress, because he comes from the
West, be should know that even
among COW boys and rancheros the
apothegm of Shakespeare is accepted
and the dress infallibiy ''proclaims
the man." .-

RKsTRTCTRO SUFFRAGE IN

Queer people who will not assent to

that man has the ''nstive right" to
vote and that it is fright" when, in
fact, it is only q privilege" regu-
lated, widened or restricted as the in
Negligence or interests OF voters and
people require. That this is the true
theory is shown by Mr.. Brown OF

visions on this subject from the codes
Of the several States:

quires electors to be able to read.

thrice as much in towns as in the coun-

and the Legislature and Constitutional
Convention have so shaped the law
that the worst possible and most
depraved candidates il corporate
elections are surest of success. The
present laws of Texas render the

PARTIsANsHIP unfortunately smacks
infinitely more OF devotion to Office and
power than to principle. The North
ern press and politicians abhor the
idea of concedipg high offices like the
speakership to Southern men, and
wheneveI it is proposed to recognize
the honesty and ability of Southern
gentleman party leaders and news

ago, said he was in favor Of the ''gen-

fore he voted, properly enough, for the
appropriation OF one-fourth of the
States revenues and the poll tax to the
wet-westher mockeries of schools. The
learned orator should keep out OF the
wet, as he evidently kept ont OF school,
or he will melt because OF the very
