the more YOU visit IL. Tt may be the
Yankee vim and enterprise which be-
comes contagious; 10 may be that the
better you know these people the bet
ter you like them; IL may be that their
undying confidence in the future OF
the Gate City enthuses you TO believe
with them; whatever ii be, you must
like the place. They ma
terialize their confidence, do
these Denison folks, by erecting
some as handsome buildings as the
state contains. Twenty-odd new store
buildings were counted over to me,
and they say the end of building is
not yet. Homes for comfort and
beauty dot the city over thickly-cOsy,
comfortable homes, on streets Of splen
cid width. They give an outward
manifestation Of a true inward desire
TO grove life worth the living.
Denison is largely Republican, con-
tanning as IL does somany Northern
men; men Of brains and integrity and
they grace their party by their adher-
ence. Grayson county Democrats
have no cause TO regret that they have
as citizens such Republicans as G. G..
Blnklcy, A. r. Collins, o. Il. Lyons,
DIR. Hanna. Daniel Webster, Thomas
Richards, j. w. Hearne, G.. w. Pas
coe, and many others. Said | to a
party of these gentlemen:
"Isitnot natural to suppose that Repub-
licansin Texas would seek To lessen the
great Democratic majority by any honorable
means by fusion, for instance, with the IN
dependents and othersg"
mo, sir; the counties that boiled at the
recent Houston convention did right We

tory would II be- No, sir, the respectable
Republicans OF Texas are OF that party from
principle, not for oiiiees.'
Aud the speaker grew emphatic.
IL is said that the proceedings OF the
recent convention were cut and dried
beforehand, and that the machine
worked hard to get In its work, but
slipped a cog or two. The boilers have
no desire to indorse Wash Jones, for
they say lie Is without party or plat.
form. They cared not to indOrse any
or every body, and If Republican sup
port to Wash Jones Is as limited as 1T
win be in GraysOn county, then he
has little to expect at their hands. But
he will have some aid from such
sources. anything to beat Democ-
racy."
The Herald News, after deserving
Wash Jones' lack of party strength
and organization, in an editorial adds:
There is no use denying that Wash Jones
Is n strong candidate, is able and cunning
and ~ the only man In Texas who could pos
sibly carry on the canvass he makes In tbs
way in which II IL done and could her-
monte the disanacted elements and unite
them together. ON the other hand the licm
ocrntic party has n strength In Texas that

changing the result Of the state election. IL
~ probable that when the time TO deposit
theiT ballots comes around the sober, se cond
thought ofthe Democracy will tell them that
nothing can possibly be gained by the clec-
tlou OF Wash Jones.
The respectable Republicans fear
their members following after ones,
and to have TO vote for A. B. Norton
is not less dreadful event. TO the
eyes Of Democracy, that of the mu-
chine pattern, Jones is false god
with nothing TO give his devotees bet
ter than they now have. But the
rank aud file Of the Democracy well
know that their representatives in the
Houston convention did an unwise
thing or two, and the possibility Of
Wash Jones as n gubernatorial candi-
date is AZ alarming as are the antics OF

Among others of the iirst-class Repub-

Binkley knew that conven-
