EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

manner to the Express in regard to the Mexi-
can politician.
DAN McGARY asks, "Who's Mrs. Wins
low?" Might as we'll ask, "Who's Dan Nc
Gary?" Both patented.
Gov. ROBERTS speech to the Missouri ed
itors indicates that the old man will give Jno.
Ireland, or any other man hard tustle for
the nomination.
THE cyclone at McAllister, Indian Terri
tory, seems to have been windfall for the
Denison Gate City Gazette-it gets out
''cyclone edition."
UpsoN only voted for the tariff bill to give
his Judgment a chance to mature, says the
Express. Then Epson is not ripe enough to
send back to congress. Epson better muzzle
the Express.
THE conviction is deepening among all
classes of men in this congressional district
that we must be represented in congress by
man independent of the tariff for revenue only
democratic party.
CHARLES STEWART, of Houston, is likely
to run independent for congress; if he does, it
will make an awful hole in the bourbon ranks
A few more independents and the old machine
will be very dependent.
THE tenth district is too evenly balanced
politically for the democratic wire Pullers 10
expect that they can pull the wool over the
eyes of the people with regular nomination
upon an irregular platform.
The 10th district has interests at stake,
representing at least twenty millions of dol
lars, depending upon the republican party for
protection and promotion. No regularly NOM
mated democratic candidate should repre-
sent it.
THE Dallas Times man mourns over Nor
tons removal. We have always noticed that
when republican dies or gets turned out Of
Office, the Times kind of democrats are not
slow to weep crockodile tears over his good
qualities.
THE effort of the Galveston News to have
the date of the call of the democratic conven-
ton changed from Sunday is unavailing. The
chairman had given it to other papers besides
the News. Sunday is good day. They can
open with prayer and close with the doxology.
THE Galveston News has helped the demo-
cratic chairman out by taking the responsible
ty on its shoulders for the Sunday call of the
convention. The news made a typographical
error; it ought to have been the 18th instead
of the 10th of July. The News can be relied
on in an emergency of this kind every time.
THE friends of Hal. L. Costing, Esq, will
be glad to learn that the president has notified
the senate of his nomination as U. S. marshal
for the western distaict of Texas. His con-
firmation is almost certain Texas will then
have at least one marshal who is a refined and
cultured gentleman.-Luling signal.
That settles it; republican can be ere
fined and cultured gentleman" sir, if he doe!
hail from Texas, sir.
UPsoN may well exclaim "Save me from
my friends" The Express apologies fol
Upson's vote on the tariff bill, and says plain
ly that he is in perfect harmony with the dem
ocratic party only he ''voted for further infor
nation to aid his judgment" A statesman
judgment should be mature. The republi
cans who passed the tariff bill know wha
they are about if Epson don't.
Our regular democratic wire-worke rs will
have to make their figures all over again.
They were very smaIt when they figured Ire
land and his friends out of representation, blu
Ireland had them cut off from him, and ha {

The amount of democratic greatness in our
district now is enormous and the capital fel
lows can figure as well as our fellows.
HAL L. COSTING has been appointed
United States marshal for the western distrc
of Texas and will no doubt be confirmed by
the senate. The appointment is an excellen
one, and will give general satisfaction to tn,
people. Costing is the president of the Stat
Press Association and is deservedly popula
with nearly if not all the Texas newspapers
He is a republican, but not Of the stalwar
order BRENNAN Banner.
Well, we viii find out what kind Of re
publican Costing is, after awhile.
