THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

hoO enough peer in all OF Dallas to loosen
their oratorical power. Wa feel sorry that
the press OF Texas has so many men too
inll for utterance and SO very few who
cahllot neglect their beer long enough to
make speech. Two thirds Of the business
were proprletors, and this explains the
want OF ability in that body. The big thing
WIN that association was an excursion to
Mexico. About one-third of the brethren
went. The Others didn't have the "scads'

occasion was seeing our brethren russell

1t was the tariff question that defeated
General Hancock. The democratic party |
declared for principle upon which hangs
lhe welfare OF the masses of the entire coun- |
try. All people are interested in reduced
taxation and General Hancock was foolish |
enough to pronounce il a local question.

Some people are very much worried over
the pronunciation OF Spanish names OF
towns, cities and counties. 1t requires |
much study and care to acquire the correct
Spanish method Of pronunciation, aud ali |
