special kilograms to have Deen seen
riding along the avenue at Austin IN
company with Governor Davis. When
ever a man steps out OF the company
of that toothless old bag, Democracy,
he becomes respectable, and seeks
good company as a natural conse-
quence.
Mr.. HEALY was the recipient OF a
BANQUET at Austin, and the o. a. made
a speech in favor of the sale of the lands
of the absent Irish landlords to the ten
ants. The O. a. is the slyest old fox OF
the entire lot of Texas democratic poll
ticians. He has come out on the side
of the Irish, which is one thing in his
favor anyhow.
THE thirteenth legislature lifted the
yoke of republican tyranny from the
necks of the people of Texas, burst the
ligaments that fettered the ballot box,
and put the government of Texas again
on democratic legs Rusk County
News. ,
Yes: and there is not a man in the
state, with sense enough to keep out OF
the rain, that is not disguised with the
whole affair. This talk about lifting
the yoke" and "bursting the ligaments"
etc., is the silliest kind of poppycock.
The Fort Worth Democrat has this
to say about Dallas, and as Fort Worth
is a neighbor of Dallas, we suppose
there must be some truth in the testi-
moay of a witness so near the spot:
The Dallas Times AYERS that the re-
publicans of Dallas imagine that they
constitute the party in this state. That
is perfectly natural. The democrats OF
Dallas feel the same way. So do the
boot-blacks and the editors and the
gentler snipes. It's all the effect of
the teachings of the Herald and Times
Inteligencer. They have educated
the people of Dallas to believe that
Dallas is Texas, and the wisdom, capt.
tai, talent and brains of the state is
concentrated at Dallas, simply because
the thieves and blackguards are. .
OLD Norton (of Dallas) has been
administering some comfort to the de.
mocracy through the columns of the
Corsicana Observer. The editor of
that highly-scented democratic organ
having travelled with and discussed the
political situation with Norton, who the
aforesaid editor reports as saying that
there is no danger of the democrats
being beaten in Texas, even by the
entire combined force of the republic
cans. greenbackers and independents,
and that the giving Of cabinet posi-
ton to Governor Davis would be
throwing a good thing away. We have
disliked to say anything hard about old
man Norton; we have been willing to
credit him with patriotism even in the
face of his queer performances. But
his opposition to Governor Davis has
stamped him as an old idiot.
Miss KELLOGG, on her way to
Memphis, with her troupe, had an ex-
perience at Milan, Tenn, where the
train stopped twenty minutes for dinner.
Miss Kellogg was escorted by Mr..
Pond, her business manager, and fol-
lowed by her maid, who happened to
be colored. AS she seated herself at
the table with her maid along side OF
her, the hightoned gentleman who kept
the hash stand stepped up and inform
ed the maid that she must go to the
"nigger" table. The telegram says:
Miss Kellogg at once became very
indignant and demanded that her maid
should be permitted to eat with her:
She claimed that her maid had travelled
with her all over the country, and this
was the first instance where any objec-
tier, bod heen made ON account of her
