Guilty In putting n puicius for the Time
! being ON all such schemes,
Since Mr.. Holman had Mr.. Dann'S NJ
tention and columns in his behalf for
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency, u multitude of imitntOrs Of
| The Indiana statcsman's methods have
sprung up and insist upon taking care oi
! the entire government service. These
| little imitators, without llolman's ability
or weight, operate simply MS Instructors
| of the public business. IL Is u miracle II
man gets a bill through Congress
nowadays that has only II local import
ancc or application.
| In this connection il may not he map
propriatc TO remark that the Texas
members have been rs successful, per-
| haps more so this session Than any other
delegation in getting their measures of
| one kind and another through the
| House. Three measures at least have
been put through the House over all OPP
| position and by
PURE ABILITY AND HARD WORK
on the part of the members having them
| in charge.
These are the bills granting right.oi-
way through the Indian Territory TO

through after Il tough fight 10y Mr..
Wcllborn and breaking down the Gould
monopoly and grip upon our State, when
it shall become Il lava bill in which |
not only Wcllborn's district but the
whole State is deeply Interested; the bill

efforts in Il most creditable manner to
him; the branch Federal court bill for
Paris and Denison by Mcssrs. Throck

Mr.. Culberson's bill for the removal of
causes to Federal courts, Il bill that will

ally for the people. These are all mat
tiers
OF INTEREST TO ALL TEXANS.
On the other hand several matters of
local interest, such as the public build
ing at Waco, got through the Committee
of the Whole by Mr.. Mills and other like
matters have been acted on favorably
by the House.
No inviduous distinctions must be
drawn from the special mention of these
measures and members. While the
particular subject has claimed the par
ticular attention of the gentlemen havt,
! ing it in charge, they have been ably and
enthusiastically assisted by the other
I members of the delegation until all are
entitled to their share of the glory.
| No other state can present such an i'm
portant and complimentary record this
session. and / challenge search of the
files of the House to contradict this
statement
In the Senate the Texas senators have

| to them, one and all.
| His many Texas admirers will be re-
joiced to Know that Judge Reagan is
rapidly regaining ut Capon Springs his
usual vigorous health and willdoubhess
be able to return to Texas by the adj
journment of Congress. During Judge
Reagans sickness his committee, Com
merce, has been presided over by
NOBEL GENTLEMAN AND LEnlsLAToh,
Texas measures generally, to special re-
gard on the part of Texans.
That gentleman is Hon. Martin i.
Clardy, of Missouri. He is one of the
strong men of the House, popular, able,
accomplished and growing in the House
and his State could now ill-attempt to do
without his valuable service here.
While legislation and other mat
tiers of one kind and another may he dull
and uninteresting here,
THE CAULDRoN OF POLITICAL SPEC
ULATION
is boiling more tiercely than at any pre-
vious time during the session. The
meet now is: "Well, who are the Demo-
Gratis going to nominate now" Some
assume with confidence to answer this
question, but the answers are as varied
as Joseph's speckled coat, or Puck's va
riegated pictures of the "man from
Maine"
The prevailing sentiment, it must be
confessed, fav0rs and points to Cleve-
land and a Western man, Mcdonald,
Morrison or Hoadly. Then again the
ticket is turned and many think it
should by all means be Mcdonald and
Cleveland or Mcdonald and Slocum.
Your correspondent finds that the more
cautious and thoughtful favor the latter
ticket, Mcdonald and Slocum. 1t is be-
yond question
THE STRONGEST TICKET
that could be put in the field. 1t would
absolutely put Indiana and New York
down for the Democracy beyond a
doubt. There is hardly a man in the
country who would like to bet against
such a ticket on any other hope than
that of carrying several of the South
ern states for Blaine-an absurdity.
The very fact that the New York
Democracy could not agree with en-
thusiasm upon any of their "favorite
sons" and especially their "reform''
government, is indication sufficient that
THE TAMMANY KNIFE
would loom up just before the election
with awful proportions. If the cause and
necessity for factional differences among
the "Empire Democracy" are not re-
moved by the nomination of Western
man at the head of the ticket, look out
for dangerous squalls. Tilden and Sher-
man are wholly out of the question.
Flowers candidacy is matter of ridi-
Guile everywhere, and only amounts to
the silly ambition of fat Wall street
broker, No other ticket is so strong, so
unobiectionable from any standpoint,
SO admirably suited in all its parts and
nossihiIities as that of "McDonald and
Slocum."
There will be a strong pull made to
ADJOURN BY THE 9Th OF JULY,
for ali admit that if Congress is not
wound up before the Democratic con
vention, it will be kept here until at least
the 10Th of July, possibly the. LIST OF
August. The last of the general appro-
priation bills will be reported to the
House tomorrow morning. and need
| II is the Sundry Civil. While the Senate
| is slow about action on these bills, they
can easily close them up in two weeks If
they are disposed so to do. The pros
pect of having to stay here until the LIST
| of August is not one relished by the ma
