He was Il member of the National Rcpubli-

He was defeated in 1873 for Governor by
Coke and in 1880 by Roberts. He ran in 1880

for Congressman from this district.

He was u hard student and painstaking law

Just before Garfield was assassnated the in
formation was conveyed to Governor Davis
that the position of Solicitor General was his
if desired. He said his clients in Texas were
entitled to his time. He had previously de-
clined the position of Collector at Galveston
under Hayes, who in the dying moments of his
administration, remembered the man who made
him possible by holding the Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas delegation against Blaine when
lngcrSOlPS elOqucnce came near sweeping his
nomination as II tornado.
Governor Davis was prominently mentioned
for a position in President Arthur's Cabinet,
and was strongly supported by Texas, Ten
neSSe, Alabama and Arkansas Republicans as a
representative Southern Loyaist and Repub-
llCan. Friends from all over the Union urged
the President to appoint him. At one time the
appointment seemed certain. The Southern
Republicans urged that his appointment would
stiffen the backbone of the party i'm the South
and would not he Objectionable to his political
opponents, for even his bitterest political enc
mics had realized the fact that no man could
successfully question his honesty. The position
of Postmaster General was the niche he came
near filling. by one of the sudden whirlwinds
was given to the West instead of the South,
and Davis left a private citizen.

Mr.. Oscar Wlde's play has been with

manager wishes that he had never heard
Of Mr.. Wilde or his play. The said mana
yer is 5000 out on his venture. He will
try to get his satisfaction out Of "the pro-
yences" later in the season.
1t is an old dodge to give poor play a
long run at loes in New York in order to
start 1t booming through the country.
Sometimes this plan works well, but in
these days a long run in New York means
less than it did ten years ago. Playgoera
everywhere are :.more disposed to assert
their own standard Of excellence and to
take very little II anything on trust. The
failure Of Mr.. wilde's play has been dis.
nal and complete. 1t does not contain
even the 'makings" Of good drama. A
New York paper relates IS a sober fact that
man who sat through four acts died be-
fore the close Of the fifth.
Mr.. Wilde expresses the belief that the
capital error OF the venture was his failure
to appear in the leading male part. Per.
hapS he will give US that interesting feat
ure in "the provinces" The smash-up OF
this posing adventurer is to be regarded
with nothing but satisfaction. The old

has some sense. Anything is good

10 esti,naIe that fully three-tourths o. the
number bore calves this season. Yet from
the best data we can obtain we 20
NOT believe that more than 5000 calves
will be raised in the entire county. Our
farmers are blind to the immense waste
Of wealth that IS going on in this direction.
By the use Of thin oat-meal Cruel, slightly
soured, three calves can be easily and
handsomely raised on the skim milk OF one
COW. That is, We would give each call 9
third ratisn OF skim milk twice q day, and
from ono to two quarts Of thin oatmeal
cruel in the milk as often. We have tried
this way Of raising calves, and know where:
OF we speak. A farmer with herd OF
twenty-five COWS in this way could make
butter and carry seventy-iive nice heller
calves that he can buy in the spring Tor 81
to 81 so per head for there are foolish isrm'
ers enough TO sell the wise ones all the
calves they want. The skim milk ant s.
worth OF oatmeal to each calf will turn out
in the fall seyenty.hye nice heifers worth
$40 apeiCe easily. Their ia an immence de-
mand for young stock from Montana,

The good work goes on in New YORK,
with IN improving prospect for this year
and next. Among Republicans there is
less talk about what this leader and that
will do, aud more about getting the whole
party in shape for its best work. The
Chairman OF the State Committee, acting
in this same spirit, gays that he would not
accept unanimous reelection, believing
it better for the party that new maH not
identified with any faction should he put
in that important place.
In the city Of New York the reorgan'
kltion Of the Republican party is progress
ing rapidly and satisfactorily. Heretofore
the district associations, each OF them a
close corporation Of professions! politicians,
have manipulated the party machinery to
suit themselves, to the great disgust oil the
msss OF Republicans. Men who had voted
the Republican ticket since there has been
Republican party could not vote at the
primaries because they were not enrolled
members OF these district associations.
Now all this is TO be changed, and all who
intend to support the Republican ticket
may have a part in making it.
A recent act Of Assembly, following the
esrlier example OF Pennsylvania, has
brought primary elections within the con-
troll OF the law, and those vagaries by
which expert politicians iuggled the ballot
and made the primary ballot-box lie are
declared to DO misdemeanoIs punishable
with fine and imprisonment In no State
ia such a law more needed, and every
State should surround the primary cleo
lions with similar safeguards. The reorga-
pjzation in New York is giving general
satisfaction to Republicans, and We shall
be surprised il it doesn't make itself felt in
the election.

gate is admitted from Tammany Hall the
