MERELY JOKING.


WE have thought it not worth the
game to print Col. Charles Stewards
late manifesto, but it is proper to place
the gentleman on record upon his party
affiliations. Touching the Governors
course In the last legislature in main
tanning the position by which he was
enabled afterward to confine expendl-
lures inside of receipts and to have a
little surplus with which to reduce the
state debt, Col. Charles says:
regret that Democratic governor,
supported by Democratic legislature,
should have taken the position assumed
by them, but never, and do not now,
believe that their action reflects the
views of the Demo cratic party of this
state, and unit become satisfied that
1 am mistaken about this l have no de-
sire to sever my connection with the
Democracy.
He wants the Democratic party, re-
gardless of reveIses, famine or starva-
ton, 10 declare for one-fourth of the
revenue for free schools, and he wants
an immigration buresu established.
After setting himself down as in favor
of the Democratic party adopting all
the glitteripg, costly and cOrrupting
paraphernalis of the DAVIS administra-
ton, he says:
If, after masking an honest effort to
do this, failure shall result and so d
fogYism" triumph, then it may become
the duty of all true lovers of the state
to look to other means for the bringing
about of the welfare and prosperity of
Texas.
By "old fogyism, it is well known
that Col. Charles means Robertson,
and hence the Democratic party may
yet be called upon to mourn 8 terrible
loss. But there is hope that this be-
reavement may not transpire, since the
Colonel's sincerity msy be seriously
questioned when he says, without
aspiring to any position shall be con-
tent, in my capacity of a private citi-
zen, to labor for the improvement of
my state"

A steamer recently arrived at Havre

The electric light, as rival of gas,

The Victoria AdgOcate thinks that if
Coke is right in principle in his finan-
cial position the Greenbsckers are right
and Democracy all wrong. admit
the principle, says the Ad0Ocate, ''that
the government has the right to issue
paper money and impress upon 1t le-
gal tender function, and you scknowl-
edge just what Hsmman and Bianton

ears of the people for the last two years.
Thus the defeated theories of initiation
is to be given a new lease of hope and
life, and the rawlings of the soft money

knew only hard money is to be dis

TIE st. Louis Republican says: EEK
Governor Davis of Texas has been
heard from sgain. A number of
Southern Republicans who entertain
grateful recollections os his general
'cussedness' during the reconstruction
period, are naming him for the second
place on the Chicago Ticket. IfGrsnt
is nominated, DAVIS is the man to run
with him. The eternal fitness OF
things would be happily illustrated in
the combination.

GREAT harmony prevailed among the
delegates to the colored convention at
Dallas, and several sensible speeches
were made. All agreed there was no
occasion for any exodus from Texas
but that the eolored people of the old

condition by coming to Texas, and that
it would be much better than going to
Kansas. An organization was effected

on Tuesday night. lie had been in
bad health for some time, but his death
was unexpected and caused some cx-
element In Charleston, especially
among his hrnchmrn and strikers. He
WAS n native OF Rhode island but came
South before the war as n mechanic
and gambler. Settling in Georgia he
entered the army in 1862 as third
lieutenant. lie was dismissed from
service by cOurt-martial. and is be-
licvcd to have procured Tic assassina-
ton ofhis superior o!liccr, Col. Wm.
Parker White. He was in Jail on this
charge when tho Federal army rclcas.
ed him. A man named Grimes con-
tcssed that Bowen had hired him to tlo
the deed. The famous libel suit OF
Bowen against Captain Dawson. of
The Ners ond Courier, for calling him
murderer is fresh in the memory of
onr readers. \ mistrial resulted bv a

Can Garfield Escape Conviction?

We call attention to the official
proofs OF Garlicld's completely in tho
Credit Mobilicr. They arc convinc-
ing. The Register publishes letter
from Jcrc Black giving Garfield q
clean bill Of health, and Oh this au-
thority acquits Garfield. The Tcgis-
fa, is premature, to say tho least. If VIC
mistake not, Blacks letter is butthc ex.
preston OF al opinion. Now Jcrc
Black and Garfield arc members Of
ihc same church and were once part
ncrs in law. They arc firm friends
Shall aurh letter, from an impulsivc
friend, outweigh the solemn testimony
of a Republican Congress, the tcll-:alc
evidence OF a memorandum and check
and The report Of Republican Con-
grcssiunal Committee? The Register
is right in holding that no enemy
should he maliciously slandcrcd. But
with such foundation rs is given for
the charge it cannot DC called SLAM
der. BIainc's completely with the
NIulligan job cost him tho nomination
and yet it was never proven onc-hali
SO clearly as this piece Of corruption
has been shown up against Garfield.
We advise the Rcyiste" to do no more
than suspend Judgment for the time at
least. 1t might find before the close
Of tho campaign that its confidence had
been abused.
