HE Washington correspondent OF
the San Antonio Express says:
We read an interesting interview in
one of your state papers some time ago
of Uriah Lott on mis- visit 10 the cspi-
tai city He charged that Congress-
man Epson treated him cayAlieriy in
not introducing him to the chairman
OF railroads in the House. The facts
are these, as gathered from an eye-wit-
ness in the House: Epson came up to
Cabell, the chairman, and said, sea-
bell, Lott is outside snd wishes to be
introduced to you" Cabell replied.
" don't want anything to do with
hina; believe he is bad man, and if
60 ont there shall insult him." Up
son said, $50 on my account, then. ="
Cabell said, 81 will go entirely on your
account, Epson" He did go, and soon
returned to his Sc Il and remarked, "I
guess that rascal will let me alone,
now!" These are the facts in the case
tor which he charges Epson with being
uncivll to him.

TEXAS POLITICS.

The Tyler papers say it was not in
consequence of opposition to Governor
Roberts that Messrs. Bonner and Herp-
don were not made delegates to Calves
ton, but that it was in consequence of
these gentlemen failing to support the
nominees of the last regular county
convention that they were passed by.
The Democrat says: "The Democratic
party here is.not now divided, and has
never been divided except upon one
question, and that was the anti-subsidy
question. This question was forced
into the county nominating convention
to which the Chronicle alludes-indeed,
was made the sll-controlling issue in
that convention, and on that account
many Democrats in the county refused
to recognize 1t as Democratic conven-
ton or to support its nominees as DEM
ocrstIc nominees. Right or wrong,
and let who may be at fault, this was the
trouble, and this was all. TheDemocratic
party of Smith county has had no quar-
rel and no division upon any political
or party issue or Democratic principle,
but simply upon local financial ques-
ton, which had no business in poIItics
at all. The great question with the
Democracy of Smith county now is, or
ought to be, whether this local ques-
ton and the passions and prejudices
engendered by its discussion, can be
eliminated from the real issues and
prlnci pies which ought to govern the
party, so that harmony may again pre-
vail in our ranks" Touching the same
question the Courier says: "These gen.
tlemen sat down on the action of
the county Democracy. The next con-
vention that assembled in this county
was on the sixteenth of last month. 1t
assembled to send delegates to the Gal
weston convention. Here the chick
ems came home to roost. They were
Intentionally sat down on But they
went to the Galveston convention any
how, and several hours after perma-
nent organization was effected and off
GERS elected they were added to the
list of vice presidents of the state
Democratic convention. But if re-
ports be true, 1t was not very compli-
mentary to themselves, If we are to
attach any weight to modesty; but 1t
seems they were not even then happy
Satisfactory evidence has reached us
that these gentlemen exerted them
selves to cripple the rightfully chosen
delegates from their own county, and
by this and other means defeat the
wishes of the Democratic party ct
home. Their conduct two years ago
and stheir conduct two weeks ago is
conclusive in our mind that it is not
Democratic harmony and success they
want, but Herndon and Bonner success
over Democracy"

THE San Antonio Express thinks it
strange, st least, that the suit against
the International railway was not be-
gun before it proposed to extend its
line beyond Austin. Had the hne
never been prosecuted further than
Austin, to which point it was built
within the term OF its charter, there
would never have been reason for suit.
When the company propose to construct
i rosd after it has not complied in its
annual construction with the provisions
OF its charter then it is time to test
validity Of claims that may hereafter
be presented to the state. These suits
cost the state money, and should be
brought only when the rights Of. the
state are to be affected, and never 9TH
erwise- But the Express, after stating
that the suit was brought to stop the
building Of the road beyond AUSTIN,
has acknowledged it viii have no.ef-
feet upon il rapid construction.

says: 'Texas is entering an era of
progressive development, which re-
quires bold, courageous, liberal and
comprehensive craftsmanship" Hsv-
ing said this much, he declares his will
iingness, as the Telegram puts it, in
making the announcement for him, ''to
lead the independent element of the
state, as candidate for Governor in
the approaching campaign against Gov
ernor Roberts" And now what the
STATESMAN desires to know. Is whether
the Telegram will follow Wash Jones
or the Alcslde. 1t is an important
question, since the people of Texas
want tn know which of the two is tn
nc Governor.

Nix. MoULroN, in charge of Sherman's can
vass, with the pardonable enthusiasm of a
brother-in-law, discovers some advantages of
the Secretary as Presidential candidate
which everybody else seems to have over
looked, and declares his nomination at Chica-
60 assured by handsome majority. Mr..
Gorham, in behalf of Gen. Grant, not to be
outdone by the gentleman promoting the Ohio
Succession, sees plainly the success of his
favorite, and sends the Third Term through
on a vote of 4S7. There is nothing mean
about either of these gentlemen. Blsine's
first ballot vote of $50 appears modestly small
when compared with that estimated for either
of his competitors. The three estimates to-
gether make up total vote at Chicago of
upwards of 1,100 out of possible 756 1t

ampled one if, ss claimed, both Sherman and

THERE is no statesman nearer the Repub-
lican heart today than James G. Blaine,
whose very name and presence are an inspir-
alton. and whose persuasive eloquence has
been heard in the hardest fought battles in
which Republicanism has been victorious.
The noble support he received in 1875 was
the result of the admiration and confidence
accorded him by those who watched him
closest; not enviously, but with feeling of
growing pride at his success and his rare
courage. Added to this is the feeling, intens-
ified by four years delay, that to him of all
others the nomination of 1876 should have
been accorded. And the sentiment so long
dormant bursts into expression spontaneously
in Pennsylvania, in the extreme East, in this
far interior West, on the Pacific Slope, and
in most unexpected directions, rising like so
many foaming brooks, dashing over all OBJ
structions, and uniting in torrent that bids
fair to overcome all obstacles and carry the
Republican party and its acknowledged
chieftain to victory worthy of the days of
its grandest political triumph.
Helena weekly herald., 1880-04-15

GEN. GRANT, who has journeyed through
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
since returning from Mexico, proceeds now
to Arkansas. He is due at the Hot Springs
on the 18th, to which place Mr.. Washburne,
his close personal friend, has proceeded In
advance to meet him. The General will
shortly return to his home at Galens, and his
temperance In Illinois will doubtless greatly
encourage his friends to persevere In their ef-
forts to repair the breach In his fences made
by Blaine. Should Illinois divide her dele
cation, as now seems to be certain, Grant will
unquestionably take the position that Sher-
man few days ago did in Ohio, viz: re.
qure the State delegation entire or withdraw
from the contest.
Helena weekly herald., 1880-04-15

REFERENCE to the proceedings of the Ma
tional Convention 1875 affords ample food
tor reflection to those who queried why the
canvass of that year was tame, devoid of en-
thusiasm, so coolly carried on. The combin-
alton that defeated MIR. Blaine defeated the
wishes of a majority of Republican voters,
and disappointed ten-fold more active sup
porters of Republican principles than any
other act could have done. The election of
November 1876 showed that of the thirty
eight States twenty-on had given Republic
an pluralities, furnishing exactly the 1876
electoral votes necessary for choosing Pres
ident and VicePresident. And yet of the
3S4 votes in the Convention which gave the
Presidential nomination to Mr.. Hayes, but
1862 came fir m delegates representing these
Republican States, while of the 351 votes
given to MIR. Blaine on that decisive seventh
ballot, 2O3 came from these same 81 States.
