IT must have been worse than gall
aud NORWOOD" to Hendricks to pre-
sent his Indiana rival to the conven'
ton as the choice Of the Democrats oi
his state. Hendricks has been the
central figure in Indiana politics for
many years, and his subordination to
Mcdonald can hardly excite the most
pleasant emotions Of his mind. What
makes It worse Is that he was selected
TO place 10 nomination the man who
has usurped his position, and to pass
eulogies upon his character and popu'
lsrity. 1t Is like putting man up az
chief nlourner at his own funeral.

THE lease law organs are beginning
to hedge. A good many of them would
like to be ON the free-grass side of the
fence II they knew how to get there
without exposing themselves TO ridi.
culc. The Houston organ, which n few
weeks ago didn't think the lease ques
ton could be made an issue In state
politics, ia now sweating In the effort
To show that tho lease law, while not
so good as II might be, Is yet very
good thing to give fair trial. 1t admits
That in many respects that law Is sadl y
defective, and contends that "witl
proper restrictions" 1t may he mad,

The University Changes.


The trouble attendant upon the Sc
lection of profes sors for the various
chairs in the State university is again
attracting the attenti IN of the public
press. Not so much the selection, since
that is accomplished with compare
lively little difficulty, but the reten.
ton of the learned professors when
once appointed. In order that the tx.
pectatio Of those who have contrib.
uted so literally to endow the states
chief educational institution with such
magnificent building and illimilsble
means might not be disappointed, the
outside world has been ransscked Ia
find LII. DPS, ID. DE-, etc, who
would enclrcle the university with the
halo Of their great names-names chat,
blazing from affair, have attracted the
notice OF the benighted Texans who,
like moths, have been attracted by the
light and who might be further com.
pared 10 the foolish insects without do.

They enter the state with grand
flourish of trumpets; their names are
hera!ded far and near; all eyes are
turned toward them, and when anx.

results which we have been taught tc
expect, the rumor goes abroad tina,
they have resigned and returned home,
bag and baggage. The latest sblup,

Lease Inv Adherents to Bolt.

IA THE GAZETTE has more than
once predicted, there Is growing feel
Ing among the lease.law advocates 10
bolt the Democratic convention If they
shall fail TO drive through an indorse-
ment of their policy. Fed and irri,ated
az this feeling is by the newspapers
which ioolishly or viclously urge its
agitation, II Is not an Improbable
event to have the men who have allied
their fortunes with the lease system
lead n bolt In the Democratic conven.
ton If they shall fail In the attempt to
run 1t. Such u proceeding on their
part would In no wise be surprising.
They have staked their political inter.
eats upon the lease system, and are so
Identified with II that If 1t fails they
are out of business. If they cannot
carry 1t through tho Democratic
convention, the failure To do 40 IA
death to them. Desperation viii, drive
them to revolt. Having lost all hope
Of support from the Democratic party.
they have but one resource, and that
Is by combining all the elements of AN.
tagonism to Democracy In one body
aud arraying them in support of the
lease law. II they fail they will be no
worse OH than before the attempt,
They will be politically dead, that il
all. "A well hang for an old sheep Ms
for lamb.
That this Is no idle conjecture, but
Il really the matured plan Of the lease-
law champions, Is fact snbstsntiate,,
by the following quotation from the
Houston Post, which may be accerted
as the mouthpiece of the proposed
boilers:
II peradvcnturc that movement Din .yo,
oiiree grass, should succeed In capturing Tn,
Democratic convention, and engraft lis nor.
nioious doc tines ON the state pia form, In,
consequences 10 the party wond be mos,
disastrous. For tho reople-the main
actor W esec'ions--wonld deeh, iiscV aasotrru
yromfeaiiy 70 ne Dt'aociatic party.
The language OF this Is plain and the
menace Is not to be misunderstood
In effect 1t serves notice to the Demo
cratic party Of Texas that II Il shall
send majority Of delegates to the
state convention who are In favor OF
free grass aud opposed TO the lease law
who will refuse an Endorsement Of tbs
lease policy, then the lease-law party
which arrogantly proclaims itself "th,
people" would deem itself absolyed
from fealty to the Democratic party b
There Is no mlst.king this. II means
that II they cannon run the convention
they will bolt II.
A consideration OF the elements Of
strength that the boilers have To
organize shows that they have not
taken this step without advice. They
Will have, In the first place, a con-
siderable part of the Democrats Of
south Texas, who think that a school

THE last national Democratic con-
veniion was little more expeditions In
lts work than the one now in SEES sion In
Chicago. On the second day of that
convention the preliminary work was
all done and one ballot was taken be-
fore an adjournment WAS allowed. The
nominating speeches were not all

Hancock was nominated with bur-
rah, and the convention finished It's

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
In order to create some amusement
for the passengers ON the incoming
train from Denison tonight l thought
it would be n good idea to take the
votes on the presidential nominees
and to find out whether it was high

votes below speak for the nselves:
Cleveland, IL votes, Bayard Is, But
Ter 4, Carlisle 4, Thurman 5, Melon
aid =. John Kelly |.
About two-thirds of all the votes
cast were in favor of free speech and
free grass. The man that cast the one
vote for Kelly thought that John was
the greatest man in the United States
| fully concurred, of course, only /
added that Kelly was first-class soft
soap manufacturer and used the Irish
vote of New York only when it would
put money in his pocket.

The Convention Of 1880.

II IL interesting at this time to re-
view the incidents Of the Democratic
convention of 1850, and recall how the
nomination of Hancock was brought
about.
The convention met in Cincinnati
on the 22d of June, 1850, and organ
lied by electing Hon. J. w. Stephen
son OF Kentucky permanent chairman.
The convention was composed OF I3S
delegates from the states, and two del
egates from each territory and the
District of Columbia, who were not
allowed to vote The usual contest
between the Tammany and other fac
tions In New York was settled by "A
compromise, after which the candi-
dates were placed in nomination aud
bslloting begun. On the first ballot
Hancock re ,eived III votes; Bayard,
1881; Payne, 81; Thurman, Gsl
Field, Is Morrison, G2; Hendricks,
4gI H.; Tilden, IS; Ewing, 10; scattering,
y. The names Of those who received
the scattering vote were Seymour,
Randall, Loveland, Mcdonald, Nc
Clellan, Lothrop, Amasa J. Parker,
Judge J S Black, Hugh Jewett and
VIM. III. English. The list of those
voted for then includes all who We're
presented at Chicago yesterday, with
the addition of Cleveland aud Carlisle,
and possibly of Butler and Hoadly.
The convention then adjourned until
morning.
Upon assembling on the third day
the current was setting strongly to-
ward Hancock. The sensation of the
day was MIR. Tilden's letter. which
was read by Rufus w. Peckham o
New York, declining to be considered
IA candidate. After the reading o
this letter, the New York delegation
presented the name of Samuel j. Ran
dali for president. Roll-call WIS thei
begun on the second ballot, and upor
the conclusion of the balloting, and be
fore the vote was announced, Han

Pennsylvania then came in and added
thiTty-two votes to Hancock. Wis
consin obtained leave to change he
vote in his favor and the stamped
began. State after state changed L
him, and as his nomination began t
be assured the enthusiasm and confu
sion became uncomfortable. II wa
moved and seconded that the roll b
called again to obtain correct repor
of the vote, and at the conclusion c
the third roll-call the result was a,
nounced as being: Hancock, 70j; Her
bricks, 30; Bayard, .; Tilden. /. Tn
nomination was then made unanimou,
and the convention was entertained b

Justice done, Texas has within her
borders gentlemen Of as great talents
and AS splendid abilities a. can
he found In any state. There
are gentlemen in Texas who
have devoted the best part
of their lives to the cause Of education
and whose long residence among us
gives them a power over and,a knowi-
edge of the peculiarities and the wants
Of the youth Of Texas which no one
can acquire excepting by experience
Why not give these distinguished gem
tlemen an opportunity to educate our
young men and women? They would
not want to Ego home" every few
days; they are already at home and
have deeper interest in the success
and prosperity Of the state than those
equally distinguished gentlemen who
come among US only for the money
that we give, and who remain only SO
long as the novelty of the thing lasts
A little protective tariff in this particu-
lar would not be amiss. The state OF
J Texas Is great and rich, but she should
not be too hasty in casting the prizes
with such reckless prodigality to the
people of other states while she has
so many deserving citizens at home
1t may give us reputation for liber-
atty and grandeur, but the glory is
not sufficient to repay us for the iDjus-
tice done our own citizens and the
wrong done the university by con-
verting IL into a csravansary.
