in some of the opinions he has taken.
especially the action he has taken
upon the star seryire bill. but an
honest belief thsst severnor TlgOck-

PRESIDENT HAYES is making the
best of his time travelling while he
can do so without expense. The
heads of departments are all away
from Washington, excepting Post
master General Maynard, and he is
there because he can do his crowd
no good in Tennessee.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-10-14

than during their presence at the
seat of government, and it is being
demonstrated that they are first class
fignreheads as well as deadheads.

AT san Antonio Senator Coke re-
marked that he found Greenbackers
scarccr than anywhere else in Texas.
Gov Coke has not been about san
