Strange Fowl

From the Denver Times.
Capt. James Seery, residing on
Eleventh street, near Lawrence, has a
very rare curiosity, which was viewed
by large number of visitors. 1t is a
fowl, but it puzzles all who have seen
it to give it a name. 1t was Matched
last Friday, being one, of 'clutch"
or brood of eight brought forth by the
incubative attentions of a hen. This
little anomaly is covered with down
of yellowish character, has a fiat
beak resembling gosling or young
duck. and one foot is webbed.
like that of a water fowl, while the
other is not. Tail feathers of soft
character are out about an inch and a
half. But the most striking features
are the complete absence of eyes or
any formation Indicative of them,
and the wings, if they may be so
called. The left one is not jointed,
but curved down the side, terminating
at the breast bone; the right one is
simply stump about half an inch
long. The little freak of nature is
evidently healthy, is guided altogeth-
er by the parents "cluck," and in
feeding takes its position close to the
mothers head. Mr.. Seery has been
offered $40 for it by the museum man
ayers, but declines to part with it at
present.

YES. we can say to the Register
that we have given several, not only
plausible reasons why we oppose the

the political situation which demands |
that they endorse man or his admin |
istration, when they bitterly oppose
both, or when they are conscious that
neither are in accord with themselves.
The situation is just this: Texas is
largely, nay, overwhelmingly demo-
cratic, and the press is democratic.
While knowing and feeling that the
governors course and policy has been
faulty to very vast extent, yet their
fidelity to the party and to him as its
official head, has restrained them from
discussing these faults. In this way
the people are largely uniformed as
to their nature range, extent and
probable effects. His very faults,
those even of the most glaring and
inconsistent character, have been
metamorphoSed and made to appear
as virtues by the thick and thin Or
gans. The papers occupying more
independent position, have not CT osen
to make the fight to point out these
faults and mistakes, except in the
case OF one or two, mainly the & al
weston News and the STATESMAN.
They are but two in perhaps
three hundred, and the process
OF illustrating even the grave faults
of his excellency's course and policy,
has been slow one indeed. But the
determined course, the stern attitude
assumed and maintained has at last
born fruit and now, at this moment
there is deep undercurrent of anx-
iety, of inquiry among the people;
and the signs of widespread revolt
against the of examining Gov. Ireland
down their threats for the second
term, is abroad all over the state.
, 1t has been our observation al
J through life that that thepeople of Tex
as can be led off by the hurrah tao tics
and under the idea that man has
rendered great service in his position
an enthusiastic devotion to his person
is built up very quickly. But this al
; falls away from him with equal celer
ity when it begins to dawn on thu
! public mind that it has been misled o.
. deceived in any way regarding tn,
! character or value of these services
That is the nature of the circumstan
ces surrounding John ireland's candi
dacy for the second term, and thes
are the exact facts attending tn
, small measure of candid criticism an
n examination the two papers named
a have given the matter.
v 1t now appears that this feeling Q
f dissatisfaction has penetrated to
4 wider extent than even the News O

10. ID. Sayers.

1t is high time the people of the
10th congressional district were cast
ing about in real dead earnest for a
successor to the Hon. John Hancock.
Many names have been suggested. and
much enthusiasm has been developed
locally for the several candidates for
the distinction of the nomination.
But as yet, none have covered the en-
tire field as has the estimable gentle
man and true democrat whose name
we write at the head of this article.
Few men in active public life has
won to his side more men, more
warm and devoted personal friends,
than has 10. Sayers, as he is affection
ately termed. There is not blotch
upon his name, his record is as clean
as that of an infant. His sturdy in
tegrity, his manly devotion to his
principles, his uncompromising dem
ocracy, his ability and the universal
respect in which he is held, all point
to him as the most fitting man yet
named, for the nominations We ques-
ton if there would>be at all respect
able show of opposition if Governor
Savers offered. At any rate we know
of a truth that he would poll every
democratic voc in the district and
many republicans would support him
over even popular men in their own
party.
The STATESMAN desires to do no
sort of injustice to any one of the as
pirants, but it is of the opinion that
this would be the very strongest Sc
lection that could possibly be made,
and it is certainly one which would
call out the enthusiasm of this paper,
as no other would.
