We had at one time men travelling on the Chicago q Alton
and Missouri Pacific railroads to solicit trade for US. This we
were forced to do by our competitor finding out we were draw

country therefore, instead of meeting us on prices ne placed
men on the road, and by these means tried to mlsrepresent our
business to those coming to Higginsville on trains and draw
trade to his house.
By these means, people coming to Higginsville on trains
have almost been bored to death ever since. Thank GOD this

CIeyeIand's Campaign,

The quiet, dignified campaign of
Cleveland so far, is winning friends
rapidly in all parts of the country.
There is none, of the usual clap trap
and mud hurting. 1t is true some of
the most unheard of and attrocious
ISLANDERS upon him have already been
published, but so far no one of his
friends have noticed these, deeming
their very improbability and grotes-
que-unllkeness sufficient refutation in
and of themselves. The friends of
Governor Cleveland number in their
ranks the elite of politicians of all
parties, statesmen who periodically
desire the success of correct theories
of government, and the honest and
clearly people of the country who
hate corruption and despise the crawl
ing creeping things who practice it.
Cleveland simply rests his
cause upon the record he has
made, and in doing this he
disarms his foe, and puts him to
route without effort, or loss. risk or
trouble. IL a new and delightful
experience in politics to have a candi-
date whom one does not have to d.
tend, for whom one feels no anxiety
and whom one trusts and can trust

this man into politics there has been

The Doubtful States.

1t would be no bad scheme were
the chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee to devote all of his
energies, all of the money and all the
oratorical talent of the party to the
work in the doubtful states; or, better
still, three or four of them. The result
is measurably certain if proper effort
is made and means used. This year
Iowa and Wisconsin are both classed
with the doubtful states. 1t would
be glory to wrest these fine states
from the power of republicanism.
Special effort should be made to
do this. 1t would materially
help were two or three good
southern speakers sent into each
of them. The masses of the people
there never saw southern man in
their lives. They have been educated
to believe the southerners savages
but one remove above the Sioux
Indians who devastated their 'front.'
iers until few years ago. The south
being democratic, the party got the
the bad odium which attached to this
section. While groaning under the
load of oppression, the high taxes
and high protection of the republi-
can party, they would not act
with the democrats for the
above reason. Now, to show them
in reasonable and practical way
what a vast mistake they have made,
let half-dozen sprightly young fell
lows, good speakers, and gentlemen of
address and ability, be despatched to
those states, and it is our opinion that
they could be won easily. At all
events, the effort can do no harm. and
it would cost but little money. The
suggestion is worthy of the attention
of Senator Barnum, and we trust hd
will arrange to have something of the
sort done.
We have always observed that the
between the sections disap-
peared rapidly when intercourse be-
tween the people became general, or
considerable. In this light the sug-
gestion is good one. The people of
the northwest, as those of the south
west, are all ardent free traders in
sentiment. Thus would our mission
aries have something to go on at the
start, common bond of sympathy
and if properly handled, it would cut |
with a wide, clean sweep and with |
;elling force and effect.

LLANo, July 28.-I have been care
fully watching the columns of The
STATESMAN for several days past, ex-
pecting to see some account of the
fearful tragedy which was enacted
here on last Tuesday evening, but fail
ing to find it-concluded you have
not been informed of the occurrence.
One of the most daring, unpro-
voked and attrocious murders was
committed here in this place about 5
o'clock last Tuesday evening, ever
known to the annals of crime in this
or any other county in the state. Our
deputy sheriff and jailor, James Oban-
non, was foully murdered in cold
blood, with his own six-shooter, by
prisoner in his charge at the time. |

Davis, had been arrested and Jailed a |
few days before for ordering Ger |
man, living near Pack Saddle noun
tain, to leave the county within a
given time, and threatening him
with violence in case he failed |
to comply with the order. On Tues
day last his examining trial was had
before Justice Lining and was ordered
to give bond of 500 only to keep
the peace. In order to accommo-
date MIN Mr.. Obannon escorted him
about the town from place to place
seeking bondsmen, but failing to get
securities, he persuaded Mr.. Q. TO es-

the outskirts of the town, to which

Under the present management of
THE STATESMAN ! like it. like its
healthy moral tone, and independent
style. l like democratic paper that
has the nerve, good sense and moral
courage to oppose the denomination
and reelection of John Ireland to the
governorship of the great state of
Texas.
And it is my opinion that if the
demagogueS, wire workers and trick
sters of the entire Ireland clique
should be able to sufficiently bull
dose the Houston convention so as
to force the candidacy of Ireland
again on the people, there will be a
revolt from the party ranks such as
was never dreamed OF before in this
state.
At the last election he fell from
$4,000 to 1900 behind the strength of
the party, and this time if he is op-
posed by even as strong a man as he
was before, he will lack $4,000 or
10000 votes of being governor again.
Thousands who did vote for him be-
tore did so very reluctantly, and will
not do so again under any circum-
stances; and, many who voted for him
before cordially. will not be induced
to do SO again. His Schleicher cam
paign killed him in the west, but
many, rather than bolt the party
voted for him before for his present
position.
But now, add his Gauze expedition,
his university policy, his squandering
of the public money, his message to
the called session of the legislature,
his fence-cutting proclamations, and
the climax capped with his murderous
2eech to the stockmens' conven-
tion.

Governor Savers candidacy-an.
nounced some time since in this paper
seems to have pretty effeetually
settled the question as to who is to be
the democratic standard bearer in
what is to be perhaps the most holly
contested battle of the season. 1t is
true that Mr.. Epson aspires to the
nomination, but the general idea that
he will be in the race independent,
if he is beaten for the nomination,
will operate to effect his defeat at
New BraInfels, and it should. Mr..
Epson, while a clever gentleman
personally, is yet unsound as a
democrat, and he will not win
an enthusiastic party support
either before the convention
or the people. On many of the cardi-
nal points of party faith he is shaky,
and upon the leading article of that
faith he is off entirely. We allude, of
course, to the tariff. There is no keep
ing Mr.. Epson from the convention.

From the New Mexican Review.
The largest bet that has ever been
made by Leadville man upon the sin

Pine in California some years ago.
The Colonel was at one time consider
ed the wealthiest man in Mexico. His
partner had been to California to dis
pose OF IL large ranch of sheep. Tney

ing for home when the Colonel
thought he would play little monte

and finally exclaimed, coolly:

The dealer was Minor Smooth, now
in Denver, and a cooler man never
lived. He shuffied and gave the cards
to Pine to cut, after which he slowly
began to draw the cards. Not word

limited. Democratic convention

admitted. Democratic conventions
are called to make choice between dem
ocratic aspirants for the nomination.
This one at New Braunfels is called to
determine which democrat shall stand
for the votes of the people as repre-
sentative in congress. MIR. Epson has
been working assiduously, it is said,
for this nomination, for months, and
he is unquestionably strong in some
parts of the district. But such is only
the case where there has been no con-
test. From this out he will find that
there is one on his track whose devo-
ton to democratic principles is I'M
questioned, has never been questioned,
and whose personal popularity is as
great an element of strength as in his
admirable party standing. 1t is to be
no walk-over for Mr. Epson, and he
will have to show up immensely to
get footing in the convention, and if
by any hocusdemain he should get
the nomination, his election will be
by no means certain. The principal
objection to Mr.. U. is, that there is
not contrast enough between his
democracy and Judge Rector's repub
licanism.
This objection cannot be urged
against Joe Sayers. He is true blue,

hearted man every way. A man who
would not only fully repesent the de-
mocracy of the district, but he would
admirably represent the people of all
shades of political opinions. He is
essentially a different man from Up
son. and his ability is unquestioned.
Governor Savers strength is diffused
over the district. He has his
hosts OF attached friends and
admirers as well in Mr.. Upson's
bailiwick as in his own, where Mr.
Epson hasn't single voice. and his
end of the district has the
voting strength over the west
1t would not be according tC
human nature if under all the cir.
cumstances it did not use its power tc

Antonio is large city, the largest by
far in the district and her interes t:

Burgess as an Undertaken.

Immediately after o. M. Roberts
was nominated by the state demo
cratic convention of 1878, the Hon. w
II. Burgess, who had made himself
prominent in The convention by his
bitter opposition to Governor Hub
bard, wiped the sweatsef conflict from
his brow. and joyfully exclaimed that
he had attended the "fat mans" fun
eral and was satisfied.
At present, Governor Hubbard is
lively corpse. He is not dead either
politically or otherwise. At the Chi
cago convention he attracted more at
tention, occupying more prominent
position than any other mem Der of the
Texas delegation. In fact he was
bigger man" than Burgess. He seems
to have arisen from the dead and dis
appointed the undertaken. His fun
eral was appointed istle too soon
and Burgess was not able to furnish
the corpse for the occasion.
What is Burgess going to do about
it? viii he re-appoint the funeral
and make fresh efforts to secure the
corpse?
Or will he turn the "fat man" over
TO the tender mercie5 of Yandell and |
watch the effect of the latter's little |
DOW and arrow?
Burgess has seen his dead man live
% become temporary chairman of
national democratic convention-how
would he like to see him. governor of
Texas again?
Strange things happen, Burgess, and
he fiat man" still lives. You will
ave to put away your little coffin for
