WASH JONES.
From the Washington Republican.

From the Washing ton Republican.
The republicans of Texas are earnest men.
They have made no move as yet. They act
wisely to await the action Of their ancient
bourbon enemy. He, blind as mole and
ox-cart, and mistakes the receding landscape
a governor who declares against immigration
and denouncing a Congressman who votes for
the protection of American industry, the Texas
democracy is endeavoring to get rid Of all pro-
gressve men. Its state convention will dem
Onstrate whether or not it still has the power
to exact obedience from the younger portion
of its local leaders who aspire to something
better than the exploded views and threadbare
party cries of thirty years ago. If there APP
pear a brave and recognized leader Of the
democratic party to lead revolt against that
venerable oligarchy it may be that, if he could
show considerable following, there would
rally to him liberals and republicans If the
resistance to bourbonism takes no other form
than the known discomfort and slack allegi-
ance of thousands of democrats. then it will
be for the republicans to determine whether
there shall be another organized defeat, or
whether some wholly independent man of
nerve and character shall be given the field
for governor, and the members of the repub-
lican party be left free from each man to de-
eide for himself as between such a man and
the bourbon nominee.
In this latter event the probability is that
G.. w. Jones, the member of congress alluded
to 1t the beginning Of this article, would be
the peoples candidate. AS long ago as the
23d of April he addressed letter to some
friends upon the subject, in which he said:
Our next elections are SO important, involv-
ing so seriously the highest interests of the
people of Texas, that one really in sympathy
with tie masses of the people will naturally
hesitate to become candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people, lest he should
thereby hnrt the cause he would promote.
For years had thought and felt that all
practicaLissues Of national policy between the
two old parties having been settled. they had
survived their usefulness and should be dis
carded as distractions to progress and as in
struments in the hands of the ambitious and
selfish. This is the position maintained in
my canvass for congress in 1876; and further,
tkat the convention system abstracts power
IRON the people and concentrates it in the
hands of the politicians, and in the absence of
real practical issues, serves only as machine
for the harvest of spoils.
In my Judgment the reason is as imperious
now as in '76, and l now repeat what said
to Mr.. Taylor in former communication,
that, if my candidacy for governor can con-
tribute to the overthrow OF the tyranny, of
the prejudice partially engendered by the
strife between the old parties, will become
candidate strictly and emphatically indePend-
of all ciiques and combinations, and II elected,
] shall devote myself to the st!alnment OF the

"A sad case of restitution came under the
observation of LIGHT reporter this morning.
A woman named Mrs. c. D. Wilson, with FIVE
small children from Seguin, in search of
recreant husband, has been stopping at the
Braden hotel for the past few days, on the
generosity Of the proprietor, Mr.. Beck, she
being destitute. His house becoming too
crowded, he was compelled to inform her she
could stay there no longer, and to day at noon
she left. She says il she could only obtain
house in which to shelter herself and young
family, she could manage 20 exc out living
by washing. Such woman as this appears
to be, and as destitute as she is, deserves the
attention of some of our ladies benevolent So
cieties. If not that the city authorities should
see that she does not starve. She is now at
the emierant's home.

best for the people of state without reference
to any party or political organization.
From the manifestations Of public sentiment
it appears to me that it will be consistent with
my sense of duty to the public to become
candidate for governor at the next election,
and if nothing supervenes to change this
opinion, my friends may rest assured that
will not disppoint their expectations.

A Lark.

A party'of young gentlemen (whose names
may duly appear in the recorders records)
had nice lark last night with street car. 1t
seems a car had been sent at midnight to the
arsenal bridge terminus to accommodate par
ties at private entertainment; the driver left
the car to see Mr.. Fowler. and some young
gentlemen in the car concluded to have a
pleasant little lark at the cost of the street car
company and inconvenience of others at
the entertainment; and so they ran off with
the car. The Car came in to the depot this
morning at o'clock in charge of one of the
young gents.
