summer.
A GLoBE-DEMoCRAT dispatch from Austin
announces as certainty that the O. A. will
be nominated for third term.
THE Express finds it necessary to give
notice in advance that its columns are open
for purchase by candidates. Everybody
knewit.
THE Express is volunteering advice to the
democrats. Entirely out of place of course
the Times is the regular source of democratic
inspiration.
JUDGE CROSBY, of Houston, is noted among
the arrivals at Washington, and as ga proba-
BILE candidate for Congress on the anti-bour-
bon ticket"
VIZ are in receipt of a very neat and ably
gotten up paper entitled, "The Independent"
published at Dallas. 1t flies Wash Jones at
its masthead.
NAT Q. HENDERSON has backed square out
of the senatorial race. We thought Nat was
made of sterner stuff than to acknowledge him
self whipped before the fight began.
NAT HENDERSON pays a deserved compli-
ment to our old friend Sam Smith, but one
remark about Uncle Samuel "dying in har-
ness" we think likely to prove not so; because
he may yet have to step out and live many
years as an honored private citizen.
JUDGE IRELAND is ffty-fve years old. He
was born in Hart county, Kentucky. He is
regarded as very worthy man, possessing no
special abilities, not above mediocrity. His
chroniclers fail to narrate anything he has ever
done indicating the possession of statesman
ship or justifying the prominence just now &C
corded him.-Waco Examiner.
There is candidate lurking in this bush as
sure as you are born, John.
A WASHINGTON correspondent to the Fort
Worth Republican says Of Epson:
"Upson is said to be the coming man. He
has vim, pluck brains, stainless fame, no old
sins to answer for, or bad associates to repu-
date. He is not identified with any faction,
republican or democrat"
We doan't know him no more-he's i'm
proved SO. Nothing like going to congress to
improve manners
THE public domain has virtually been
squandered, our public school system is but
little better than farce, the cash balance in
the treasury is great white elephant and the
purchase of state bonds at the rate of ST. 40
per $Ioo is by no means approved Of These
are a few of the things that has caused dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the democracy of
Texas Brennan Banner.
And isn't it enough to satisfy the people that
the old machine had better be set aside!
We HAVE received pamphlet entitled SIN
gersoll unmasked," with a representation of
an angel lifting with spear a mask from a
genuine devil with horns and tail, and in the
other hand holding formidable looking
sword as if he was going to punch Bob in the
ribs with it. The angel is supposed to repre-
sent the author, Mr.. Clarke B aden-the devil
seems to be tckeled at the prospect and
smiles while he holds his tail gracefully over
his arm.
STATISTICS corroborated at the late wool
growers convention at San Antonio show that
the Texas clip this year will bring the flock
masters the sum of So, 500, 900 Texas is
called and is wheat-growing state, but the
wool interest doubles the productive value of
the wheat, interest. There is food for refec-
ton in this fact Waco Examiner.
And why did not our distinguished senator's
and all the rest OF our distinguished represen.
tatves, except Jones and Epson, refec,
before they tried to kill this interest. Epson
apologized for his vote-Jones didn't vote
Epson will be sorry for his apology before he
is many weeks older.
THE Dallas Independent speaks in the fol,
lowing terms of the independent candidate for
congress in that district:
Col. w. L. Crawford, of Dallas, will soon
commence the canvass for congress to repre-.
sent this district. Col. Crawford is one of thu
most brilliant lawyers of the Texas bar, and
one of the most gifted orators of the south
He is capable of making record in the ma.
tional congress second to none of his prede,
cessors-not even Sam Houston himself In
the yieor of manhood, in the enjoyment of ar
unsuIiied reputation and with burning devo
ton to his country, he promises to fill the po
sition to the best interests of our district anc
our state, and, in fact, the entire country.
