WACO, April 29.-Capt. VIM. Reed,
farmer and stock-raiser living ten
miles east Of the city, went to his
stables yesterday morning and found
Il mare dead with her throat cut, I'M
mistakably done with knife. Last
night CAPT. Reed decided to keep
watch, and arming himself took posi-
ton near his pasture fence. Shortly
afterward man rode up on fine
stallion, without any saddle, dis
mounted and commenced cutting the
wire fence. Reed raised his pistol
said, Hold up your hands" and cap
tured the fellow. Closer inspection
showed the stallion to lie one of Reed 's
own horses, stolen from the latter's
stables during the brief interval that
lad elapsed since he left the house to
go on watch. The thief and fence
cutter proved to be a young man
named James Slade, an irresponsible
character who has been in the Waco
Jail before. Reed brought his prison.

SENATOR SHER,fAN's position as
United States senator from Ohio Inn
perils his presidential prospects. If he
should be nominated for president and
elected, the vacancy in the senate
made by his withdrawal would be
filled by a Democratic legislature In
Ohio, which would OF course return a
Democrat in his place. This would
make the senate uncomfortably close,
and at the conclusion of Mahone's
term il would become Democratic.
The Republican party is not inclined
to swap of the senate for president,
so John muet stand aside.

The Rannhlioan Conrention.

The convention of the Republican
party of Texas met yesterday at the OPP
era-house. In appearance the conven.
ton reflects great credit OH the party
inthe state, and in appearance, deport-
ment and action would reflect credit
on any party in any state. Beyond
the ordinary excitements of political
gatherings, the convention in its pro-
ceedings was orderly and so far has
disappointed those who expected to see
a red-hot wrangle all initio. There
are very many educated and intelli-
gent colored men present and, indeed,
every class of membership SEEING to
have been selected with care. The
proceedings yesterday were opened
with prayer by Rev. j. d. Murphy of
this city. Mayor Smith of Fort
Worth was introduced by Capt. Bur-
chill and delivered very acceptable
address of welcome, to which most
appropriate reply was made by Judge
Binkley, the probable candidate of his
party for governor. Up to this time
of course no word of politics had been
spoken, and perhaps to this opening,
in some measure, is due the calm that
yesterday took the place of the storm
that all expected to see. For the pro-
ceedings, and comments thereon, the
reader is referred to the work of
GAZETTE repor ers to be found else
where in the paper to-day.

TIE Austin Statesman says all the
talk of division has come from North
Texas. We have read somewhere OF a
paper that was called the San Antonio
Herald. Perhaps the Statesman will
recollect that the Herald talked di-
vision until it died.

IN view of the fact that THE GA.
zErIE was the first paper in Texas to
ridicule "the Sweetwater resolutions
ana TO express its opposition to any
taik OF division, the charge of the
Statesman that this paper seeks di-
vision is very, very ''politen and the
essence OF fairness.
