EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

IT seems that Irsland's nomination fails to
enthuse all the democrats; it falls flat in whole
communities.
IFCol Andrews don't offer the republicans
free ride he night as well hand his senator
ial harp on . willow.
THE claim that John Ireland carries west
Texas in his vest pocket has never been verl-
fed vet. Schleicher beat him badly.
THERE are some blatant, sef-.tyled demo-
Gratis in the state who do not know what
democratic principles are."- Dallas Times.
Very few we can assure you. They all know
what "oHice" is.
THERE seems to be but one question the
democracy is harmonious upos-ths spoil'.
They fight ever the banks, the curroncy and
the tariff, but they all agree o. the grand old
Jacksonian idea Of spoils.
In A speech at Weimar Ireland is reported
as expressing the warmest friendship for Rob-
erts. If this is not hypocricy it is bargain.
We very much fear we have lost ''honest John
Ireland"
THE Irishman Who kissed John Ireland's
hand at Rosenberg Junction, no doubt took
the great democratic ''I' for old "Erln
go braugh." Poor boy, he'll feel bad when
he learns how badly he was sold.
In REGARD to the boundary quarrel between
Mexico and Guatemala, General Grant in
published letter says: GAS to our government;
interfering in the question Of boundary be.
tween Mexico and Guatemala, am sure there
will not be any anxiety felt by Mexico"
PRIZE and Kerens, the gentlemen referred
to by broker Walsh in his star route disclos-
ures, are well known in Missouri.-[S St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
Some of Prices troubles about the Corpus
Christi route and the San Antonio postoffice
are thoroughly known here. Mr.. w. L.
Thompson, we'll known attorney here, acted
for Price in keeping things straight.
THE senate concurred with the house in
that part Of the tax bill exempting bank CAPT.
tai, deposits and checks. VOORHEES, delivered
TRADE against banks, while Beck, of Ken
lucky urged that the public interest de-
handed that the banking system be mad
efficient and valuable-harmonious democra-
cy.
We NOW have some explana ton why our
mail service over the star route to Corpus
Christi was so poorly conducted. Price. the
contractor. besides the necessity of getting ii
sub-contracted for at half price, and keeping
all hands down to their work, had to pay
$4,000 to Brady and Kellogg. Perhaps we
shall get the key to our Postofice troubles after
awhile.
"THR convention did we'll in adopting a
platform before making nominations Bren-
ham Banner.
How's that did they make the candidate to
fit the platform or the platform to fit the can
didate. If they did they missed it sadly. We
discern what was passing through the head Of
Brother Rankin, he was thinking that if they
had made the nominations first they never
would have been able to get the whole plat
form on to 50 slender a foundation.
REGARDING the subject of immigration the
platform is silent, the trainers Of it probably
thinking that no special mention was necessa-
ry in that connection.-L Brennan Banner.
They tried to make the platform to fit John
Ireland, and they had already made it too
bagey with public schools and education gen.
orally, and if they had added liberal plank
on immigration, especially from Germany, the
thing could not have been pinned up suffi-
GENTLY to stay on him. AS it is he has the
biggest suit of clothes he ever wore in his
life.
STATE TREASURER LUBBOCK, too, was re.
nominated by acclamation despite the pur-
chase of unmatured bonds at premium of
forty cents on the dollar. If this isn't vndi-
cation we don't know what is Its logic may
be construed to mean that the party endorses
the policy and all that Treasurer Lubbock has
TO do to ensure future examinations is to pay
say five cents higher premiums each successive
year.-lWaco Examiner.
We see nothing inconsistant in renominatine
Lubbock-they endorsed Roberts and every
thinp and everybody else. The truth is, the
Office brokers at Galveston cared very little foi
consistency CT principle, all they wanted was
to divide the spols and pull the wool over thu
eyes OF the people.
