The Situation at Cincinnati.

rs was generally expected the letter
Of de,lination from Mr.. Tilden was nc
declin alton at all, but rather an earn
est and pathetic plea for the nomina-
ton. His ghost seems to hover around
the convention and will not down at
the bidding Of Kelly. It is just posi-.
bic that although he has been the lead
ing candidate, he may come in yet as
the dark horse after all the other nags
are faded out, to carry of the honors.
From appearances it may be. expected
that Bayard will lead against the field
on the first and possibly on two or three
succeeding ballots. 1t is generally coa-
ceded however that Bayard will not get
the nomination unless tie convention
give up all expectations of carrying the
election, in which case they might as
we'll be beaten with Bayard as with
any other man.
The fact that August Belmont the
money King ia working hard dspend
ing oceans Of money for him does not
please the soft money wing Of the Dem
ocratic party. A correspondent from
the Convention 10 the Morning News
of this city, says that the vote on the
frs. ballot is likely to be 220 for Bay
ard, 100 for Payne, IS for Field, l25 for
Hancock and the balance scattering.
The Convention will meet this morning
at 10 o'clock and probably the greater
part of the day will be consumed in the
consideration Of the reports of the Com
mittees on rules, organization, creden-
tials and platform. 1t may be post ibls
that ballotting for a candidate will be
commenced this evening.

CONDEMNED BECAUSE OF MER.
CY.

The applications for pardons and
combinations, filed up to date since
Governor Roberts was insugurated,
amount to $50 cases. or old cases, in
which additional papers have been filed
and which have been considered by
him, there are $50, making the total
number of applications considered 1909.
OF -pardons there have been granted
80; of remitted fines and forfeitures
there have been 43 cases; of commut-
ed penitenitary cases, 4. During this
times there have been % applications
for mercy in capital cases, and of these
seven cases have been commuted to inn
prisonmeIit in the penitentiary for life.
Since even some of the friends of Gov
ernor Hubbard have been criticising
the course Of Governor Roberts in the
matter of psrdons, communications and
remittals, we may be permitted to state
that Governor Hubbard, after he sue
ceeded to the position made vacant by
Governor Coke's retirement signed
1913 pardons, As combinations, and
RENTED fines and forfeitures in
22S cases. At Houston where the one
is condemned, the other was applaud
ed and supported, while at San Anto-
nio, where one is condemned because
Of his extending mercy, the other was
not. Governor Roberts has saved
seven men out of twenty-five from the
gaIlows, consigning them to lifelong
imprisonment in the penitentiNy.
There Is probably no other such rec
ord IN the state governments where
the decisions of courts and juries have
been so little REVISED BY the pardoning
power. But, alter all, those who con-
denim Governor Roberts are malcon-
tents, who are satisfied with nothing
but the promotion Of individual
schemes, and these would probably
hang men to advance them

MR. HAYES has been personally
abused by members of his own party,
for giving the postmaster generalship
to Judge Key, of Tennessee. 1t ap-
pears that his motive, in appointing
him, was to extend 10 some measure
an act of justice towards the South,
which was due IN larger degree from
HIM than from any other man that was
ever made President, for in his inaugu-
ration the greatest outrage ever exer-
cised towards the South was perpetra-
ted. It appears that the Presidents
friendship for Mr.. Key, has grown. for
now, he has named him for life time
position on the Supreme bench. he
has been appointed to the vacancy
made by the death Of Judge Trige, but
will remain . member OF the cabinet
until the end OF Mr.. Hayes term. Judge
withey, the circuit Judge in Michigan,
has been authorized to hold circuit
court in Tennessee until Judge Key
succeeds to the position.

THE Neaos refers to the fact that fol
the last three years line of railway
from Galveston to Camsrgo, Mexico,

the proposed result is about TO be at

posing to build this line are now in
Texas, it says, arranging for right OF
way. It is proposed by the projectors
Of this road that the work will pro-
ceed at an early day if the people
will donate to the company
1000 acres of land to the mile along Its
proposed line, and Mf.J Ensign Fuller,
vice president of the company, and n.
r. Jeffards, managing director, with
certain Galveston lawyers are about to
canvass the land question thoroughly
along the line. The proposed route of
the hne is through the counties of
Galveston, Brazoris, Mstsgords, Jack
son, Victoria, Goliad, Bee, San Pa
tricio, Nueces and Starr to Rio Grsnde
City, opposite Camsrgo, Mexico. The
road, as proposed, u to pass through
the great Texas sugar district, and will
develop new cane regions iE the direc-
tion Of the Rio Grande. and from Vic

TIE SUIT AGAINST The INTER-
NATIONAL RAILWAY co.

The Express is ungenerous enough
to say that tine suit against the Inter-
national, railroad company is brought
In the interest Of keeping the road
from being built to San Antonio. In
saying this the Express is not only un-
reasonable and reckless, but it i'm
pugns the motives of faithful and
conscientious state officer, IN the person
of Attorney General Mccormick, who
in such step is but doing what the
law directs HIM to do. Several railroad
companies applied to the Sixteenth
Legislature for extension of time on
charters and, if we remember rightly,
all such requests were granted. The
International railroad company did not
JOIN in these applications, and hence
no extension was granted in It's favor.
The law directs, that when rail-
road company shall fail to comply with
the provisions of its charter, the At
torney General shall bring suit for for
feiture, aud this company, having
clearly laid itself liable to suit, the
Attorney General would not perform
his sworn duty to the state were he
to fail to bring action against it. On
the fourth of this month a suit was
filed In the district court of Travis
county against the International and
Great Northern Railroad Company,
alias the International Railroad Com
pany, to forfeit its charter, and to re-
lease the state from obligations to
grant this railroad company, twenty
sections of land per mile, and to ex-
empt the property and franchise of
the company from taxation. The rea-
sons assigned are that the COM
pany has failed to build It's
line of road within the time
required under its charter, and the
act placing these obligations upon the
State. The question naturally arises,
whether judgment would interfere in
any manner with the vested rights of
the company, property heretofore &C.
quired, or that the suit affects the
rights Of the company In any way
during its tendency, but it affects in
nowise the construction of the road to
San Antonio.

Mr.. Tom G. DUNN of Houston, took
$4,000 in greenbscks home and told his
wife to put it away in safe place.
She put the money in q tin box, and set
the box in the fire place, and then went
to the Methodist loan exhibition.
While away Mr.. Dunn built fire in
the fire place, and that was what was
the matter with Hannah, when Mrs.
Dunn came into the room and gave a
scream. And now we would have Hon.
George Washington Jones to demon
strate how this loss in paper mones is
to be made good.

TIE San Antonio Express says an
estimate by an experienced railroad
man shows the number of cars of
freight in and out from Laredo alone
to be thi-ty-one daily. THIS freight is
now transported on wagons, and 1t is
certainly one OF the strongest argu-
ments that could possibly be.adduced
why Congress should at once provide
for the ecomplehon OF q military railway
from San Antonio 10 Laredo. The
completion Of such road would save
millions annually to the government in
lessening cost Of transportation and in
prices paid for supplies at points from
i6o to 500 miles away from railways.

RAYaRD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
OF all the unaccountable and crooked
h,noa in tha uvorlA panns,lva.,. .-N

OF all the unaccountable and crooked
things in the world PennsylvanIa poll
tics usually surpsssss them all. The
late Democratic convention at Harris
burg was quite puzzle, but like many
strange and unsccountable things con-
clusiors may be drawn theretrom. The
New York Herald and some of the 9TH
er papers, in considering the question,
regard but two factors in q problem
where there were in reality three, and
hence reach improper conclusions. 1t
was Mr.. Randall's purpose to secure q
Tilden delegation from Pennsylvania,
while Senator Wallace came to the
conclusion that Gen. Hancock was the
proper man to use in opposition to
RandalPs schemes. Mr.. Monagan, 6
delegate from the great county of
Chester, was chosen as permanent chair
man Of the convention, and he is q pro-
nounced Bayard man, and went to the
convention instructed for Mr.. Baysrd,
and he was elected president with his
political preferences we'll understood.
The only time there was any talk
about the Presidency was in the COM
mittee on resolutions. A resolution
expressing preference for Gen.
Hancock was proposed, and re-
ceived only fifteen votes to
thirty y-one against it, cast by the Tilden
men and the Bsyard men. This was
about the only time the Bayard men
did vote with the Tilden men,
and the vote was overwhelm-
whelmIng. On the question of the
unit rule the Bsyard men were dl-
vided, and on this the vote was ex.
ceedlnglY close. They were solidly
with the Hancock men, however,
against any move to help Tilden, and
their own candidate for elector.at-large,
Mr.. Monaghan, was chosen without q
contest, while by their help the Wal
lace candidate for the other elector-at-
large was elected, and out of the
two delegates at large the Bsyard
element was given one. These
facts 60 to show where papers
have committed great error in re-
garding the factions at Harrisburg di.
vided in behalf of Mr.. Tilden and oi
Gen. Hancock. 1t was developed BY
the acts of the convention that Mr..
Tilden was in most hopeless MINOR
ity, while careful analysis of it's pro.
ceedings shows that the struggle was
not alone between these men, but that
there was a most respectable and hon.
ored element in the convention, giving
an earnest adhesion to the incorrupti.
BILE and learned statesman of Della.
ware. The Bsyard factor in the Penn
sylvsnia convention was composed ol
fully one-third of the entire body,
while the Texas delegation to Cincin'
MATHS composed of two-fifths of Bay arc
men, and there are not over three ol
four men in the delegation originally
opposed to him.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-05-13

THR Memphis Appeal says ''Bsyard Is
the favorite OF the South. he is the
ARpcars model for statesman, pa
trios. citizen, and president Of the
United States. He ls still our first
choice for presideak but his lnomina-
ton is hardly probable. while il Is pos-
sible." Itmight have added, he is run
ming neither machine nor bureau,
and then We might tell what = bure.u
has done tor Texas candidate, and
the Appeal would think, under certain
circumstances that . document dis
tributor il not such good thing for
candidates. The people everywhere
have about concluded they must select
tie candidates, and give those Who are
crazy Cor place the go-by.

"JUDeINe, says the Telegram, ''from
such papers as the STATESMAN, Cover
nor Roberts carries the Democratic
party of Texas in his trowsers pocket" "
1t is not just this way, but it does ap-
pear that the Democratic masses have
taken the Old Alcslde to their bosoms.
It is the Telegram that would by this
time have found its way into his
breeches pocket, had not the Post got
ten in the first kind word for him.

THE Richmond (Virginls) State must
be mistaken when it says, in view OF
the fact that some of the Vermont del
egates, labeled 'Hancock," will be
found Tilden men, that sit is further
insinuated that the whole Hancock
boom Is but Tilden MOVEMENT in dis
guise." 1t is evident enough that the
Hancock men of Pennsylvania are not
Tilden men, but when it comes to the
insinuation that Tilden is exceeding
tdckY, we make no contradiction.
