The Houston Telegram is
delighted at the idea of Roberts
abandoning the canvass and
making a defence through the
newspapers. If the old alcalde
will promulgate his electioneer-
ing documents before the meet
of the county conventions, he
will give his opponents an OPP
portunitY to ventilate a few of
his ideas and perhaps explain
his sudden change of front on
the school question. The Tel
egram says if Roberts is again
elected Texas will go back 80
years this we think is an exag-
Grafton, but, candidly, we do
not think his election will do
anything towards the cause of
progress in Texas. To develop
the latent resources of Texas
we need bone and sinew as well
as capital; labor makes capital,
and immigration is the keystone
to the problem of the immedi-
ate future of Texas. The op-
position of the BANNER to gov
ernor Roberts is not captious;
it does not think he is the man
to cope with the present emer-
gencies. In the line of immi-
grafton, Texas is virtually at a
stand-still, Kansas, Nebraska
and the states and territories to
the west, with neither the eli
mate nor the soil possessed by
Texas are being rapidly settled
up, while here in Texas we seem
to be resting at ease and de-
pending upon the salubrity of
our climate and the course of
nature to become a great and
populous state.

THEY SHOW THEIR HAND.

For some time there has been
quite considerable element in
both the great political parties,
as well as among some OF those
who profess the greenback faith,
to do away entirely with party
nominations for county officers.
Its concluded by all thinking
men that in reality party has
nothing to do with a mans
competency for filling a county
Office. In the municipal affairs
of the city of BRENNAN politics
play no part, and when officers
are to be elected no inquiry is
made regarding their politics;
the fitness OF the man for the
position is alone considered and
good men have been elected.
The same rule would apply with
equal force to county officers.
The opinion is gaining ground
that we have too much politics.
How we are to get rid ofso
much politics is question that
has not yet been solved.
As factor in state politics
the republicans cut but a sorry
figure, yet in some few counties
they are in the majority and
keep up sort of a quasi organ
ization in which the colored
men figure mainly as dupes of
designing and scheming county
or local politics, that they, the
local politicians, may hold the
county offices. On one occas-
ion, when Abe Lincoln was pres
ident, he was beset by apPli-
cants for office. He remarked
that he had more pegs than
holes" that is, the office seek
ers outnumbered the Offices.
In the republican ranks, among
the office seekers, they are in
the same fix as was Lincoln.
There are more Office seekers
than offices, and not being able
to agree among themselves as
to a division of the possible
spoils-the offices-they have
decided on holding a county
convention and nominating
county officers. The edict has
gone forth.
Whatever might have been the
disposition of the democracy,
this action upon the pant Of
their highly esteemed friends,
the republicans, necessitates a
like action on their part. In
order to AVOID a multiplicity of
candidates they will be COM
PEELED to make nominations, and
in doing so should invite the
cooperation Of every man who
desires to see a change in the
administration of the affairs of
our county. With the republi-
can party it is simply a matter
of spoils. They have been in
office SO long that some of them
are already spoiled, while those
who are out of Office are spoil
ed too, because they have been
out of office so long.
There is an abundance ofma-
terial in the county, outside of
the republican ranks, with which
to fill the county offices. Let
no man be nominated for any
office unless he is known to be
Thoroughly competent to fill it
and who has an established
reputation for honesty. With
such a ticket the democracy
and all opponents of republican
rule need have no fear of the re-
suit.
