SPLENDID NOMINATIONS.

The nominations of Hal Costing for Mar
shall Of the western district and James A. Nc
Kee for the northern district, we are glad to
herald as splendid nominations, and the first
break in the clouds of doubt that have lowered
over federal management in Texas.
Mr.. Gosling's residence in our state has not
been sufficient to entitle him to the sobriquet
of ian old inhabitant," but he has become as
fully identified with US as if he had been to the
manor born, and during his residence has
become widely and favorably known to
the people of the west and the peo-
pie of the whole state. His appointment
will meet the approval of the community at
large, and we feel justified in saying that his
stewardship of the Office will be honorably
and honestly rendered, to the credit of the gov
eminent and of the republican party.
Col. Jas. A.McKee is an old citizen of Texas,
and one Of the best men in the state; able, hon
est, dgni6ed and patriotic. He will honor the
government in his official capacity, and we
shall hear no more of the investigations that
have of late years disgraced the republicans OF
Texas and the government in either the
northern or western districts of Texas.
The nominations of Mr.. J. c. Bigger as dis
trict attorney of the northern district, is no
doubt a good one, but We are not sufficiently
acquainted with the gentleman to add our un-
qualified endorsement.
| Mr.. Arthur must not stop here; there are a
few more holes that need cleaning out and
one of them is located in the fair city Of San
Antonio.
