cans are quarreling among
! themselves the democrats may
elect their man.
The Brazoria Independent
has been enlarged to a seven
column paper, but it still retains
its patent outside. 1t seems to
be on a sound basis and in a
prosperous condition.
]. H. FAIR has retired from
editorial department of the
Hampstead Courier and will
make vigorous canvass of his
district in his own interest as a
candidate Tor the legislature.
The vote in Arkansas is, for
Churchill, democrat S3,o75; for
Parks, greenbacker, $3.50 with
two counties to hear from. The
republicans seem to have polled
their issues with the greenback-
ers.
ACCORDING to the Bolton
Journal there is great deal Of
jealousy existing between Waco
and Bolton. The building of
the Santa Fe road to Bolton
will cut off a large portion of
the Western trade that now
goes to Waco and will take
away many bales of cotton.
On October Ist the census de-
partment will commence the
work Of taking an enumeration
of all the Indians in the United
States. We suppose they will
make approximate estimates
about Victoria and his band.
No enumeration will venture
near the old Apache.
A REGULAR greenback con-
vention was held at Portland,
Maine on the 2Ist, seventy
three anti-fusion greenback del
egates held separate meeting
and nominated a straight green
back ticket. They are resolved
to die in the last ditch.
STRANGE as it may appear
the Chicago Inter-Ocean re-
CARDS the denomination of our
congressionional delegation by
the democracy as wise and
commendable. This is the first
thing that ever occurred in Tex
as that that sheet endorsed.
BLAINE claims that upwards
of 5000 republicans in Maine
were bought and paid by the
fusionists within four days of
the election. This shows the
venality of his constituents. He
was well provided with CAM
paign money and should have
bought them back again.
A PORTLAND, Maine, dispatch
of the 2Ist inst. says errors
have been found in the tele-
graphic returns. The final re-
suit is Davis 72,64o Plaisted 49,
SI4, Plaisted's plurality IA.
This we presume may be taken
as official and should put final
stop to all disputes. Plaisted is
the fusion candidate.
THERE is trouble and bull
doing at Corning, Perry coun-
ty, Ohio, where over one thous-
and miners from Straitsville and
Shawnee attempted to drive the
colored miners away from that
locality. 1t would seem that
race prejudices are stronger in
Ohio than in the southern states
where whites and blacks labor
together in harmony.
N. A. T., writes to the Gal
weston News telling why the
Houston Telegram failed. He
says it has virtually been a fail
ure from its inception; that it
had been badly managed up to
the time he took hold of it, and
that he was the only man who
ever understood the business
who had hold of it; that a news
paper to succeed in Houston
must be better than than the
Galveston News. He also gives
some more advice to Uncle
Dan'l.
IT is estimated that the
amount of gold and silver coin
now in this country aggregates
s57o,4I99I4, which with a
paper circulation of s7oo,ooo,- |
900, makes the total circulating |
medium Of the country sI,27o,- |
4IS,9I4. This estimating the
population at 100000 gives
a specie circulation of SII a.
per capita, and of paper SI4
o5, making a total circulation of
SIS 40 per capita. From the
most reliable data obtainable it
appears that only Great Britain
and France now possess a
greater gold circulation than
the United States, |
