The masses of the democratic party in
this county are now left in the background.
The candidates now know only the dele

now candidates will know neither the dele
gates nor the people.-[Waco Examiner.
PERHAPS.
The independents swear by the Houston
Post, and the Post throws its leg over the
editorial tripod, bitches up its pantaloons
and shouts for the mongrel crew that rallies
around it. They do say that the Post
draws its inspiration from the Hubbell
fund. We don't know. Perhaps JEFF

LUCKY HE DIDN'T.
Some enemy of mankind has invente
lately an instrument of torture that passes
under the name of the locomotive whistle,
and if Watt, during his cogltations, could
have foreseen what q diabollcal combine
