WIEN the Texas Republican delega-
ton count noses In Chicago there will
be n majority of Arthur men among
them.
In HAS been about a fortnight since
Mr.. Tilden declined to be n candidate,
and It is about time another statement
of the kind is made.
THERE used TO be tradition that IT
never rained in Western Texas. The
shower Of yesterday was very much to
the contrary, however.
Tn Evening Journal. of Denison, is
the latest candidate in the newspaper
world, published by II. p. Burhans, and
the LIGHT wishes 1t may live long and
prosper.
A CORRESPONDENT elsewhere in the
LIGHT makes good suggestion regard
ing on Alamo monument fund, and sug-
gests that dime contributions be started
for the purpose.
UANNmAL HAMIIN, of Maine, Is re-
ported us saying he thought Mr.. Blaine

ocratic, explains its position as follows;
"The best policy for the United States
is to protect every industry against out
side competition, and the result will al
ways be 10 ~ build up Industries at
home, (2) give employment at good
wages to labor. (3) create Il market fol
agricultural products, az cheaper manu-
features by home competition, (5) and
make the country self sustaining"

their good business liberality, but re-
fleets credit upon that office. The adj
vertisement In question represents III,
front of the establishment, and is Ger
tainly splendid piece Of artistic typo
gfaphy.
THE universal sentiment OF the pres
all over the State is that justice was no
done in the Cunningham verdict at For
Worth, and that the release of Will
Adams on bail at Dallas PRACTICAL,
amounts to an aoquittal. The convio
ton Is fast being forced upon our. peopl
that monied criminals are beyond tn

NAT Q. HENDERSON, of the GeorgetOw
Record, announces Major j. Il. Bracken
ridge, of Austin, as the Records cand
date for Congress from this district, an
says ave believe he is the man fC
