If democratic people carry out demo.
cratic principles, they must have concert of
action. and they cannot have this without
comforting with one another If they do
not like the way conventions are managed
they should take hold and control them, as
they are perfectly able to do Brentwood

LUCKY HE DIDN'T.
Some eaeiny of mankind has invented
lately an instrument of torture that passes

THE POLITICAL MILLENNIUM
There is none of that worldly huCl,stering
about Victoria that is usually disgusting in
men presidents. II is said Of Martin Van
Buren, that he never touched dollar of his
four years pay till when, at the end of his
term, he drew the total 100000. The
guccnly Woodruff Is applying her $4,000
IN advance to the uses of the campaign,
and the country may rely upon it, there
will be no HubbelS, or political assessment
hendH IN any shape, to disturb the perfect
quiet aud grandeur of her administration.

CAN'T ne .ANTAGoNifEp.
some OF the friends OF Wash Jones are try
ing to antagoni2e the friends of Senator
Coke and Judge Ireland by referring To past
differences between the two men. We re.
gard such efforts on the part Of the Jones
supporters as reprehensible, and il is Il game
that will not win. We know that whatever
may have been the past anmusity between
ulo two men, the Same can have lao inru.
encc on the two gentlemen which would
injurc the party. We know that Senator
Coke has TOO much nobility of character
aud hia devotion to the cause of democracy
10 too strong to allow his personal feelings
TO influence him against Judge ireland, but
on the contrary he Is now In the field doing
noble work for the success of the democratic
state ticket, and he will do the cause as
much good rs any man in the state. This
effort 60 antagoniae the two public men is
one of George Washington Jones old tricks.
He 10 working faithfully in the service Of
his master, Chester A, Arthur, but such
trickb won't win. lSan Antonio Times.
