"Gov. ANDREWS" would sound we'll, but
a democratic governor by any other name
would smell as sweet.
THE Galveston News has got between two
fres-the O. a. and Richard Nelson, Esq.
Nelson's attack is far more polished than the
O. as.
THE Western Texan, published at Junction
CITY, is an earnest friend Of the wool men, and
the advertising columns of the Texan proves
that Kimble county is a thrifty. growing Sec
ton.
"GovERNoR BAYLOR would sound better
than "Governor Roberts," and the Genera
could apply his Indian policy to his political
opponents-sweeten their sugar for them, you
know.
THE Galveston News comments that mas
much as the Comal county democrats have
instructed for Ireland, ergo all democrats IN
German counties will do likewise. Don't fol-
low. however. There won't be many demo-
Gratis left in Comal by the time the votes are
counted. Comal must be anti-bourbon, and
in favor of protection.
ONE remarkable feature of the democratic
party is that it goes heavy on Confederate
glory, but its the stay-at-home, bomb-proof
heroes like Lubbock and Roberts who get
the cream of the offices. Old soldiers like
Gen. T. B. Robertson, and good enough to
lead Hoods brigade, are not suitable candi-
dates for governors, &c.
THE St. Louis Dispatch thinks it would be
healthy thing to reduce the democratic ma
iority of Missouri by coalition of all the IN
dependent elements,-why would it not be
better thing still to wipe out the democranc
majority altogether. 1t would greatly I'M
prove the state morally and politically. The
same thing is applicable to Texas.
CONFEDERATE records may as we'll be retired
from the political arena, otherwise the So
called democratic party must take back seat.
Gen. Robertson and Col. Wash Jones have
fighting Confederate records that put to
blush the military achievement OF Judge Ire
land, or the civic corquests Of the o. a. lhs
democratic party has become party OF bomt
nroofs anyway. Let US fall back upon the
hreside virtues of our candidates-take ou'
heroes from the walks Of civil lite-lts the
safest plan, since one Confederate record car
be matched by another.

THE Galveston News replies to Gov. Rob

the suspicion that the assault made by the o. a
