The Granbury Vidette fsvors Hon.
Jos. D. Sayers for governor.
The Mexis Ledger speaks q good
word for Governor Roberts, and also
for Col. Lang. But the Observer and In
der can not see through the glasses
used by the Ledger.
The Bolton Journal begins to think
appearances indicate that Seth Shep
ard will succeed Wash Jones in Cor
gress from the fifth district. The Jour-
nal is elsted at the idea.
The Denison Herald is preparing to
flop. 1t says: "The Old Alcalde has
defined his position and put himself in
order for the next race. II he will
now admit that his policy has been
wrong and make promises to do better
in the future, he may be able to get up
boom which will amount to some
thing by and by. It is never too late
to mend.
The Rockdale Messenger thinks Judge
L. G. Alexander would make an able
attorney general, saying: ''As judge
of the district composed Of Bell, Nc
Lehman and Falls counties, he has
shown himself 70 be sound, thorough
and conscientious jurist; besides. q
more gallant and high-toned gentle
man is not in the state. A foe orator,
as one of our acknowledgements be would
make the hills and wales of Texas ring
with the genuine music Of true Democ.
rscy."
The jack County Guide says: "Gov-
ernor Roberts, against whom so many
odiums have been hurled, is fast win
ming his way into general favor among
the people Of Texas. His pay as you
20 system can never be SAID, even by
his most bitter enemies, to have worked
detrimentally to the state in any c.
plcity. While we never have fallen
so desperately in love with the old
gentleman, bis gubernational abilities
We fully c1ncede."

WHAT the Springfield Republican re-
CARDS as the most dangerous sign of
the times is not "Gen. Grants endeav-
or to get reelected, although be con-
fesses to a hotter ambition than we had
thought him capable of, but the popu-
lar disposition to nominate him in the
very hope that he will play the usur-
per and the despot."

THE papers and people who find
fault with the state administration for
paying pension and other bonds instead
of deficiency warrants should bear in
mind that the payment on these bonds
stops ten per cent. interest, while def
cheney warrants call for only five per
cent. interest, and that the latter have,
by an act of the legislature, five years
to run.

The New york Indians have a Ieoen

The New York Indians have alegend
to this effect: s.Alone, of all the pale
faces, the Great Father, Washington,
has been admitted to the Indian heaven,
because of his justice to the red men.
He lives IN great palace built like 9
fort. All the Indians as they 60 to
heaven pass by; and he himselfis in his
uniform, q sword by his side, walking
TO and fro. They bow reverently, with
great humility. He returns the salute,
but says nothing" Such legend Is 9
nobler monument than all the marble
and brass that has been, or ever will
be. reared to the man born hundred
and forty years ago.

ROSCOE CoNRLTNe, who will not be a can
didate under any circumstances, and the
other is General ULYSSES S. GRANT
Fourth-That General GRANT can carry
New Jersey and Connecticut, both doubt
full States with any other Republican cam
didate.
Fifth-That General GRANT can carry
the States of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, louisiana Florida, and
perhaps Alabama aud Mississippi, none of
which can be secured with any other Re-
publican name.
These are the prominent reasons which
lead the friends of General GRANT to de-
sire and labor unremittingly for his nomi-
nation at Chicago. To them they are
ample to challenge their honorable efforts
and most faithful devotion until the de-
termination of the nominating convention
is reached. They love their country-they
desire to see il saved from future peril
andAthey know that this end can only be
reached by saving the Nation from Demo-
cratic control, and they are strongly and
unalterably confirmed in the belief that
General GRANT is the only man that can
lead the Republican hosts to victory against
any Democratic GOLIATH they may usher
to the country as their standard-bearer in
this contest This is their hope, and for
this consummation they will pray and
labor until the convention shall either de-
feat or consummate their wishes.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

II comes to us-perhaps authoritatively,
and perhaps not, but the source from
which we receive tile information ought to
be reiable-that Secretary SHERMAN takes
exception to the conduct of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN on the question Of the next
Presidency. This we regret-for it has
been our aim to deal fairly and justly by
the interests of all candidates for the honor
of being selected as standard-bearer for the
Republican party in the ensuing contest.
We have been pronounced rs to our first
choice and have given reason for the faith
that inspires us. If we thought that either
Secretary SHERMAN or Senator BLAINE
afforded better prospect of success than our
own iavorite, we should support eitherwith
rs much zeal rs we do the choice we have
made. We regard both Secretary SHEER
MAN and Senator BLAINE with profound
respect as Republicans, and as eminently
worthy of support at the hands of the
Republican party, and prior to nomina-
ton the only question with us is-which
of the names before the party for selection
will secure the most strength as candi-
date in the grand battle. We seek success
first, and wise administration Of public
aflairs-nothing more-and nothing less
will satisfy.
We have been led to criLicise some of
the methods TO secure a nomination that
have been, by imputation, introduced into
the primary canvass by Secretary SHER-
I;-A org tf,in al
cry of the Treasury Department in his
own interest. If lie has been misrepre-
scented in this regard, then he is not justly
exposed to such criticism-but there seems
to be rather strong evidence to sustain
these imputations. This is the only criti-
cism we haye offered or shall offer to Secre-
tary SHERMAN as u candidate. The patron
age Of this Government belongs equally to
Senator BLAINE, Secretary SHERMAN aud
General GRANT or any other aspirant
1t is not the exclusive property of either
and hence its appropriation by any one
under opportunity, against the Others, does
not seem to consist with even-handcd jus
| tice. The machinery Of the Administration
is not legitimate agency of individual
| advancement within the party that gave il
power. To its use in any direction for such
purpose we object, as is our unquestion
able right. Let the people decide this
matter without the aid of official power
and the result, be it what it may, will be
accepted without the slightest dissent from
this quarter. This is the position TIL
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN holds on this
question, and it appeals to common cando
and fairness to decide whether or not it i
justified by the circumstances and equitie
of the case.

Though this may not be altogether palota-
bic to the advocates of tariff, yet it will
bring relief to the ills which attend the
present condition of things, and will secure
