POLITICALLY, New York is the
most erratic of states. She voted
for the Democratic presidential
ticket ct every election from 1923 to
1886, In1e40, in the LOG Cabin and
Hard Cider" hurricane that swept
the country, she gave the Wing
ticket $4,000 majority. In le45 she
was Democratic by 5000, with 15,0ee
Abolition votes, mainly drawn from
the Wings. In 1s4s the Democrats
were divided between Cass aud Van
Buren, and the Wings carried the
state. In 1852 the Democrats were
united, and won by 1900. 1856 the
Republicans beat Buchanan $4,000
votes, and carried the State In 1850
Lincoln's majority was 10000. In
1854 it fell to 674s. In 1868 the DEM
ocratic majority was 10000 In 1872
the Republicans won by 81, ,455; and
in 1876 Pilden beat Hayes 50, ,742. In
1873 the Republican majority was
s4y661, and in 1879, owing to the
Democratic split, the Republican
party elected its governor and whole
state ticket, with a majority of both
houses Of the legislature. The defea.

THE Chicago Times says: at now
appears that General Hancock was
a terrible swearer. "His profanity
was terrific, like that Of Rawlins, .
says one historian. This is bad.
George Washington swore at Mon
mouth and General Jackson swore
eternally. But General Garfield,
chasing Humphrey Marshall at Mil,
or Middle, or some creek, contented
himself with saying, simply aud
earnestly, ~Now, gentlemen, please
come forward, and, IL you will par
don me the expression under these
exciting and exceptional eireunstan-
ces, give these creatures Eail Colum-
bia, and you win greatiysoblige your
country and your commando" !"
General Hancock would shine 10
much better advantage il, as a milf
tary hero, he had talked as gently as
q sucking dove. OF course, this

AND now the Telegram has come
to the conclusion that Governor
Roberts should be impeached be-
cause he has exercised the pardon
ing power. Who ever read such
nonsense as this:
Ii the people of Texas are willing
TO surrender TO Governor Roberts
all the powers of the Car of Russia
more than the English sovereign
would dare TO exercise-what is the
use OF q state constitution at all? Ii
Governor Roberts can assume the
power of supreme court TO annul
the sentences of inferior courts. why
can't he override the constitution in
other respects as easily, and annul
the habeas corpus itselfs LII he is
the court of last resort TO try crimi-
nails, what is the use of the people
expending money to keep the courts
running?

IMMIGRATION,
1t has been charged that Governor
Roberts is opposed to immigration.
He declared this charge false and
unfounded. He never knew 1 half
dozen men in Texas opposed to iin-
migration. Surely he was not one
of that number, and never had been.
Texas has always welcomed good
citizens from ali parts Of America
and Europe, and he was in favor of

A rAIsEHoop coRRrcrED.


The Houston Telegram, and then
the Galveston Ne,cS and some other
papers unfriendly to Governor Rob-
erts, have given circulation to the
statement, that at Kosse the Cover
nor commented unfavorably upon
the acts of our members of Con-
gress, regarding frontier affairs, and
the effort made for reimbursing the
state for expenses on frontier de-
fenses. Yesterday STATESMAN re-
porter called upon the GoVernor,
and asked what ground there was
for this report, and his reply was,
that there was not the shadow of
truth in the representation as made.
On the other hand, he said, instead
of there being any political differ
ences between himself and Senator
Maxey, At Kosse, there was the most
perfect harmony. He says that he
made it a point in his speech to de-
vote his remarks to state affairs, and,
that while referring to the latter,
alone in connection with frontier af-
fairs, he made it special duty to
commend most highly, as he has
elsewhere done, the course of our
Copgressmen in this connection; and
he expressed it, unqualifed1y, that
they had rendered most valuable
service in presenting these claims of
Texas upon the federal government.
These are the facts as stated by the
Governor himself, when he made the
request that the STATESMAN give q
most positive denial in his name to
the report. Since the statement was
first made by the Telegram, which
has never, In one single instance,
done Governor Roberts the simplest
justice, we had believed there was
NO foundation for it, even before
this positive denial was authorized
BY the Governor. ....

GOVERNOR ROBERTS, it is known,
lately made a speech at Corsieans,
and the occasion is presented fer the
Courier to say; la aisza 4sr
The Governor makes no display
of rhetoric or oratory, but graepa
his subject and presents it forcibly
and clearly. He isaman well derel-
oped in all directions, thoroughiy
cultured, and with large general in-
formation. In his opinions and II
his discussions he always bases his
argument upon the Fundamental
pripcipls involved. lie never relies
on frivolities, but always goea at
once to the merits Of the Question.
In argument he is clear, forcible,
candid, yielding every point that 3
sound judgment tells him is unteua-
BILE, and striking at once for the
main points. In his method he is
logical and convincing. he isa man
ofthe highest character, and liberal
and charitable in all his views, sSith-
out trace or tincture Of bigotry.
In manner, he Is almost difident,
but whatever he aims at he pnrsuea
calmly, directly, and boldly. Out
spoken in his views, he is at the
same time cautious and circumspect.
He VIII not hesitate TO combat the
heresies of his opponents, with logic
cold and clear cur, but with the SEN
timents of man who possesses the
liveliest sympathies Of the people.
He is thoroughly versed IN the
problems which are soon to play an

THE STATESMAN REPORT CoRROB.
GRATED.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Tele-
phone, who was at the Fairview
Springs barbecue, near Kosse, when
Governor Roberts and Col. Lang
met on the 9th inst, says:
The notable feature of the occa-
sion was the Lang-Roberts discus
sion. The Old Alcalde made gall
liant defense of his administration.
He stated that he was placed in the
office in 1879, without his seeking,
and that if the party saw FIT to call
him again he would not refuse; but
if not he could join with the Democ-
racy and assist in electing the man
who receives the nomination of the
convention. He explained and JUS
titled his administration in most
convincing and satisfactory manner.
After Governor Roberts closed,
Granger Lang mounted the rostrum,
and assuming the air of Cincinnati
US, and with a pomposity peculiarly
his own, proceeded to attack the 20.
A." along the line. He criticised the
vetoes, and in fact, the Granger,
through his greenest glasses. failed to
see anything that was commenda-
BILE in the Roberts policy. After
having concluded his speech, Gov
ernor Roberts walked up on the
stand and stated that he had been
attacked by Radicals, Greenbackers
and Democrats. but on that occasion
he had received double does from
Mr.. Lang. He stated that he was
not there for the purpose of debat-
ing, but would reply to Mr.. Lang.
He then drew q news paper 1--WE sup
pose the Lang organ) from his pock-
ct and read an extract from one of
Mr.. Langis speeches made before the
spirit of ofice-seeking took charge
of his Judgment, in which the Rob-
erts policy was elaborately defended.
Lang was completely whipped
out. His consistencies were brought
out so vividly that the peo-
pie of Falls county could not
withhold their enthusiasm for the
old governor, but joined with the
crowd in one rousing cheer for
Roberts. Lang then got up and in
reply stated that he was no Office
seeker, did not want to be governor,
but if. called, would serve the people.
He stated that if he had been be-
trayed and misled in his defence of
the Roberts policy, that Roberts was
to blame; he, Lang, was not respon-
sible for his acts. 1t is thought by
the most prominent citizens of Falls
county that the county is largely for
Roberts, and that upon popular
vote Roberts would get two votes to
Lang one. hAA. ylt'4 BIB ar f

THE scheme for the invasion OF
the Indian Territory is the offspring
of the cupidity of a man named
Payne, whose agent, one Craddock,
is now in ST. Louis trying TO organ
ize an army of tramps to do the
work. Payne tried the same thing
last year, and was arrested by Gen.
Pope, whom he afterward sued for
damages. The offense these people
are committing is punishable, on
repetition, as in the case of Payne,
by fine of $1,000.

poLIIIcs IN vIReIN1A.

Gen. Malone, as many have antici.
pated, is trying to raise Old Nick in
Virginia politics. Since putting his
electoral ticket in the field there is
much ground for speculation as TO
results, and the Republicans reach
the conclusion, that now is the time
for them to make ten strike, while
the national committee is giving
close attention to this nice little
game of politics, which aggitates the
Old Dominion. 1t is the old fight
between the Readjusters and the
Regulars, and it is very evident that
all this fuss is made, and will con-
tinue to be made until somebody
comes down, or rolls "bar'l' in, and
commands the situation by keeping
these old time Democrats apart.
The Democratic executive COM
mittee will, no doubt, conclude
to take a hand in the sport
before it is too late, and somebody,
we do not say Gen. Malone, may
get rich before November. If the
two Hancock tickets stay in the field
until the day of election, anybody
may know that the electoral vote of
the state will be given to Garfield,
and Malone knows all about it, and
has probably been doing some nice
figuring on the conclusion. The
Richmond Whig, which is Mahone's
organ, says that in a matter
of life or death between
the readjusting and the Democratic
parties, it would be unqualifedly for
the former. This would appear to
mean that Malone would make the
Democratic party subject to him.
self, or that he will let Virginia GO
to perdition. He would rule or he
would ruin the grand old COMMON
wealth, and yet it is said he is most
cunning little fellow, and probably
he has calculated well what such
talk will effect. It is this which In
clines regular Democrats to allow
him full swing with his own par
ty, and the further one, that
Mahone's reclamation would profit
them little, since the more faithful
and true would be outraged at terms
being made with the little trickster
The question of readjusting tbs
states debt has nothing to do with
the presidential contest and there IL
no liberal construction that can pos
sibly be placed upon this Malone
movement for giving Virginia to
Garfield. The humiliation is terri
