votes OF the ''solld South and New
York's thirty-six votes, the Democrats
will have 1870. II by any possibility
the Republicans shall carry the other
doubtful states, aud lose Massachusetts,,
they will have los votes. With the
fourteen votes of Massachusetts, the
Democrats would win by 2)S votes, or
the Republicans by 2l2 votes. Having
the custody of the vote that could de-
eide the contest, that side which should
offer Butler the best bargain would
win the day.
These things are improbable, but not
impossible. Their concurrence would
put the presidential election in a like
condition rs in 1894, when the opposing
candidates were Andrew Jackson,
John Quincy Adams, VIM. IL. Craw-
ford and Henry Clay. Jackson was
given ninety-nine votes, Adams
eighty-four, Crawford forty-one and
Clay thirty-seven. Neither candidate
having received majority, the cleo
ton was thrown into the house, where
Adams was elected by combination
of Clay's supporters with his own.
This elected from John Randolph his
famous speech that "the election was
effected by combination of the black
leg and the Puritan" which led to a
duel between Clay and himself.

Increase of Sheen in Texas.

At the recent state convention of
Texas wool growers the statement was
repeatedly made by speakers address
ing the convention that there are now
10, 900, 900 sheep In this state suffering
from the malign effects of anti-protec-
tive tariff legislation. e
The asses sment of 1888 gave only
4,49l 900 sheep in Texas, so that II
there are 100000 sheep in the state
now the Increase has. been 5,50S, 400 in
the last year.
This increase has taken place under
the reduced tariff of March 3, 1888,
which sheepmen claim has been so
ruinOus to the wool interests, and for
passing which they propose to vote
against the candidates of the Demo,
cratic party.
If there are l0, 100000 sheep in Texas
and we have the authority of the
wool growers association for putting
the number at that figure-hocks have
increased more than 100 per cent. in
twelve months. Can any industry
flourish In this manner under hostile
legislation? SO far from crippling the
sheep interest, the evidence of facts
sustains the view that the reduction OF
tariff tax has wonderfully promoted
the prosperity of wool growers.

THE GAZETTE knew 1t would come.
The Lampasas Dispatch joins the Bel
ton Journal In asserting that West
Texas is unfit for agriculture and
therefore should be leased to the cattle
men as n perpetual pasture. All the
organs of the cattlemen will come to IL
yet. The Dispatch thus comments on
an extract from THE GAZETTE
our experience in the West satisfies US
without doubt that the West will never he a
remuneratlve agricultural district, and that
the grass ~ the only source ofpront. This Is
as well known to THE GAzETrE ms to any one

happily for Texas, there are enough OF such

SOMEBODY says the protectionist of
to-day is comparable to the silversmith,
of whom st. Paul makes mention In
the following language:
And the same time there aross no small
stir about that way. For "A certain man
named Demotrins, n silversmith, which made
silver shrincs for Diana, brought no small
gain unto the craftsmen; whom he called to-
Gethor with the workmen of like occupation
and said: Srs, yo know that by this craft we
have our wealth. Moreover yc see and hear
that not alone in EphesUs but throughout all
Asia this Paul hath turned and persuaded
away much people, saying that they be 40
gods which are made with hands; so that
not only this our crafs Is In danger to be set
at naught, but that also the temple of the
great goddess should be desplsoi and her
magnihcencc should be destroyed whom al
Asia worshipeth. And when they heart
these sayings they were full OF wrath ant
cried: "Greatls Diana OF the Ephcsiaus."
The new religion of free trade
threatens the loss of their mo small
gain" and the Demetriuses OF protec
ton are crying out "Great Is Diana o
the protectionists."

For Free Grass.
Seymour Cresset.]

You can bet on us going for free
grass every pop, and every other paper
in North west Texas will go Its length
for 1t, If 1t takes enough interest In its
country and wants the country to be
settled up soon. Free grass will carry
the day In the elections in the north
western part of the state. Every man
who is running for Office and expects
the vote of the Northwest will be for
free grass. Not free grass for popular
ity, but for his principle. We want
this country to settle up, and will do
all in our power to have 1t settled up.
II the country Is settled up 1t will not
hurt stockmen, to a very great extent.
Texas Is bound to be settled and there
is no use trying to stop it. We say to
everybody come to Northwest Texas
and buy you cheap home. II there
IL not room in Clay, Wilbarger, Bay.

us. Three cheers for free grass! Long

A Butler Possibility.

The presence of Ben Butler in the
presidential race, AZ the candidate of
the Greenbackers and workingmen, is
not unpromising In Massachusetts. 1t
may so turn out that the diversion of
the Republican vote In that state to an
independent candidate will give
Butler plurality of the vote and
insure the choice Of his electoral
ticket, In which event he may be in
position to decide the election for the
next president. Buffers following In
Massachusetts, Is largely personal
without much respect for party, as the
vote cast for him In 1882 and 1885
shows. Though Garfield led Hancock
5S,2a5 votes in Massachusetts, In 1850
Butler defeated the Republican candi
date In 1882 by 13,940 votes, and In
In 1883, though beaten, he had is. OOt
more votes than in 1882. The Demo

The contest at Fort Worth for places
in the delegation to the national Demo-
cratic convention has opened several
old sores and made not few new
ones. There are several things in con-
nection with the intrigues at Fort
Worth that will bear investigation,
and the probabilities are that we will
not hear the last of 1t for some time to
come. The people of the South and
West will want to know why they
should not have had place in the
delegation from the state Mt large; why
three of the four delegates should have
been taken from about one-eighth the
area of the state and the fourth a COM
paratively near neighbor, while the
balance of the state was thrown only
the sop Of alternate appointments.
The people of nearly seven-eighths OF
the state would like to hear some OF
the reasons advanced why the candi-
dates from their section were over
slaughed in the vote. There are whis-
perings that may become something
else. We shall hear and gee.

THE only semblance OF an argu-
ment In favor of perpetuating the land
lease system is to admit that west Of a
certain line In Texas the country Is
unfit for agricultural purposes. This
is the argument Of the big cattleman /;
this is the argument Of the pasture
lords; this is the argument OF Syn
dictates and corporations outside of
Texas I" this was the argument of
Prof. Roberts book and Of his adj
ministration; this Is the argument OF
the organs of the cattlemen. But
will Texas concede the argument and
consent to "tie up" Northwest Texas
from settlement? II is for the people
to say whether the lease system shall
stand or the country be settled.
