ADALLAs CURIOSITY.
Postmaster Garrison, or Dallas Is in bad
repute at headquarters because he ia not
politician enough. He should sell himself
to Barnum. A republican official who does
not stoop to political tricks is certainly q
curiosity. Gainesville Independent.
WANTS AN EXPRESSION.
The Post is taking census as to the
standing OF each county on the man for
pretident and governor, the town TO have
tho convention for, and the two-thirds
rule. OF course. it knows whose census to
take, and it would save time aud money by
giving Us it's opinion -[Waco Examiner.
THEY SERIOUSLY OBJECT.
The atockmen seriously object to the ad-

INTENDS TO EXECUTE THE LAW.
Like the Gazette, the Journal has been
friendly toward Governor Ireland, and it
would not have him Judged hastily or
harshly. But the vim with which he is ap.
