EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

Ir's 1.-THE gentleman from Kentucky, sir, u
who is running for governor.
The Menard wool growers have organized
the scab seems to be the storm center. The
tariff-for-revenue-o only disease will no doubt be
considered after awhile.
THE democrats who live in the interior OF
the 9TH district have to face yellow jack at
Galveston or give up the contest for the nom
ination. Its an i'll wind that blows no one
any good.
1T WILL not be entirely out Of place for Mr..
Ireland to make q pilgrimage to north Texas
at his earliest convenience.-[Fort Worth Ga
zette.
Ireland will be wanted in more places than
northern Texas before this eventful campaign
is over.
IT IS said that Wash Jones will bring with
him good share Of the political assessment
fund, gathered in by Jay Hubbell, to be used
in his effort to Mahonize Texas.-[ Alvarado
Bulletin.
Ifthese democratic papers don't look out
they will stampede the followers of Ireland in
body into the Wash. Jones camp.
JOHN HANCOCK is likely to be the demo-
cratic candidate fer congress in the Austin dis
rict.-[Stephensville Empire.
Yes, it has gone out over the great state
of democracy, alias Texas, that the great John
Hancock is to run for congress in the 10th
district; but many better man than he has
staid at home.
THE collection and disbursement Of money
to carry elections is no longer secret with the
republican managers.-[M Marlin Ball.
Nor is it secret with democratic managers.
What does the assessment Of the chairman Of
your state executive committee mean, Mr.. Ball!
We know thatit has taken thousands Of dollars
to carry this county for the democratic ticket,
and it is no secret either.
THERE is = general leavenine process going
on in the republican camp and democratic
prospects are healthy enough. The majority
will be reduced, as it ought to be, but the de-
mocracy will hold the state government, which
is best for the state Waco Examiner.
We are aware that the lack of harmony in
the republican ranks alone will prevent the
defeat Of bourbonism, and we shall look at
every break as inspired by the enemy or III
the interest of the enemy.
DAVIS himself is too black radical to fool
any respectable white man with his tafy-
Mneola Monitor.
And do you call yourself respectable
"white man." Prove it. II the democracy
depended entirely on responsibility for its votes
it would never 60 to the polls with any hope of
success. We know hundreds Of democrats
who are respectable men, and they entertain
no such pig-headed ideas as advocated by the
Monitor.
WHEN George w. Jones is laid on the shelf
-pohtcally-as he will be, he will carry with
him into private life the confidence of all
thinking men, who see in his vote the courage
and honesty to do right He has the conf
dence and love Of those who know him best.
The man who will detract from an honest
mans reputation because of political differ
ence is far in the wrong. Let US do him JUS
tce and win an honest victory.-[ Indepen-
dent Blade.
Better wait until the people have laid this
man on the shelf before you pronounce his
obituary.
THE Alvarado Bulletin brings forward the
charge that the old alcalde and Judge Ireland
had well understood bargain and that Ire
lands nomination was part of the pro-
gramme, and the election of Roberts to the
senate will be the final elimination of the
bargain. The Bulletin says:
We do not know that there is in fact anv
foundation for the charge, but we do know
that it is openly made by men who have here
tofore stood by the old alcalde in his every
official act, and been among his staunchest
supporters and warmest friends. The reason
assigned for the governors action in this mat
ter is, that Ireland is, by way of return. to do
all that within his power lies, to have Roberts
elected U. S. senator to succeed Coke. This
view of the case gives it plausible, if not
probable appearance; for Ireland has commit
ted himself sometime ago, not to make any
effort whatever to secure the senatorshp for
himself Inasmuch as he cannot strive for
the place, it would be very natural for him to
assist friend to it, over whose shoulders he
had climbed into the White House of the
state. Moreover, Ireland has a little bill to
settle with Coke, for beating him out Of the
same place, five years ago.
