EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

1oNrs and Ireland met again at Sherman
and the result was the sage of Seguin had
hardly feather left on him. Now, our Peo-
ME are aching for some of the fun too, and
the ;udpe will never be forgiven if he does not
arrange to pin Jones to the sacred soil OF the
Alamo by inserting his nose between the
coloners teeth at this place. Ireland would
in that way secure some votes out Of
sympathy.
IRELAND finds his refusal to make joint
discussion with Col. Jones did not work WELL
and so like Tug Wilson did with Sullivan ne
stood up before Jones and was knocked down
several times to the delight of the people OF
Sherman.
CHARLEY MATHEWS, who was wounded oy
Rem. THOMPSON at the time Ben. killed poor
Wilson. has been murdered by two high-toned
Arkansas colonies, Fordyce and Rugg, on
account of some offensive article in Mathews
paper, the Hornet
Gro. P. FINLEY has petered out on the
tariff question. Like Hancock ne asks (;
"Who's tariff, and why is he for revenue
only"
MAI. DIVER will find that he is Kidding
AGAINST the wind in his attempt to bolster up
his know-nothing candidate for congress- Dy
getting up a congressional record to suit the
case.
THE Corpus Christi Free Press calls FINLEY
"the silver tongue orator" why we thought 1t
was only an Independent Candidates that had
tongues tipped with silver and Finley's orator'
sounds like played-out bell-punch.
THE Galveston Mail modestly put dow!
Ochiltree's majority at $500. It will be wors
than that. Finleys Aunking on the tarl'
question will give him at least THOUSAND
more. Nobody with any sense can vote 10
Finley now.
"CoL. Jones when pinned down by Sena
tor Maxey." -L Brennan Banner.
Yes Maxey held him down with his nose
firmly gripped between the Coloneps teeth
All these fellows follow PhGnix's plan
holding Jones down.
Ben BUTLER used to be potent argumer
against the republican party; Ben stole spoon
insulted southern ladies-hung promine'
citizen of New Orleans, and was the gre
beast that had to be conquered by votlr
agaist the republican party. Ben is now ru'
ming as democratic candidate for governor
Massachusetts,. The argument has evident
changed sides or the democracy has. Pc
haps the democrats havs great contempt #
Massachusetts, and want to show it by the
nomination.
THE Dallas Times charges Judge A.
Norton with the authorship of the malicio
attack upon Gov. Davis. We are 10th to
leve it, Norton is not capable of committi
so untruthful and dirty an assault as that.
Tom OcHILTRRE comes in for share
the dirt slung by our democratic cotempo
ries. Tom is evidently leading his conv'
ton opponent, and hence, like Davis, he
getting a benefit after the old style. 1fTom '
a losing horse, his virtues would be extol
ana MS NlCCS kCpl Suo-iOSo' - DN'Ae
Ochiltree that breaks democratic solidarity.
THE Star-Vindicatar, of Blanco, seems
be sound on homeopathy. We are glad
is; he seems to be crazy on Davis.
1T TAKES money to purchase votes.
Finlay's "Print."
Now, this a great democratic fact, g:
don't you forget it."
THE "Vindictive STAR" of Blanco, can
nothing good about Davis. We should tn
the name would charm an old "corn-fe
like YOU; and then how can you hug j
Hancock TO your bosom when you know
wore a generals uniform and ope
arecruiting Office in New Orleans to ca
darkey recruits We should think none
less of Hancock for this patriotic act II
would lust acknowledge it for the bench
our brother editor of the Star.
