In Democratic circles there is talk
of putting Mr.. John L. Sullivan, the
distinguished slugger, in nomination
for Congress in General Collins dis
trict. Some of Mr.. Sullivan's friends
are predicting that "John will
sweep the district, and go to Congress
as the Massachusetts, Morrissey."
They urge that the noted pugilist is
the peoples favorite; that more men
follow him on the street than tag
any other famous men about, and
that he has the brains to make an
acceptable representative of this
great city. Mr.. Sullivan is said to
look on the political schemes of his
friends with some complacency,
though this early avowal of the plot
will naturally evoke denials and
much bluff. If Mr.. Sullivan gets
the nomination away from General
Collins he will have clear sailing.
He is the idol of a large section of
the population.

that the result Of high pay would be to
add TO the efficiency aud intelligence
OF the legislature. Good enough men
may offer for representative, but the
best and most competent are not al
ways the most successful. The arts of
the demagogue, personal like and dis
like, imposture and fiattery, and, mere
than all, the supposed sacredness Of
party nominations influence voters rs
much as superior fitness for the office;
and the instances where men of ac-
knowledged merit have been defeated
merely because the opposing candi-
date was good fellow,n though Of
inferior ability, are so numerous that
there are few Of us who are unac-
quainted with case OF this kind.
The most upright and brilliant man
may be less expert in making friends
and gathering votes than his more
agreeable rival, and is like as not to be
left at the counting of the votes.
AS lis, Texas pays her lawmakers as
well as a majority of the sta ties, and
better than many of them. Five
dollars a day and mileage is fair
enough pay, though good workman
will get as good wages, and more like
~ earn them better. Rhode Island
pays only dollar day to her legis-
lators. Three dollars is considered
good enough pay for the honorable
members in Delaware, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
Oregon and Vermont. Other states
pay 81, among them Alabama, Colo
RADIO, Georgia, Louisiana, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and West Virginia,
while Illinois, Kentucky, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, Missouri and
South Carolina pay IS. Arkansas,
Florida and Indiana make it Sc, Cali
fornla and Nevada s.. New York
stands first as to salary, paying $500 a
year, and Ohio and Pennsylvania pay
respectively $1,000 and $1,000. From
the frequent charges OF corruption in
the New York and Pennsylvania legis-
latures, IL docs not seem to follow that
there is more honesty among the bet
ter paid than among those who serve
for little. Rhode Island is, perhaps,
blest with as good and intelligent a
Legislature, whose members are paid
nominal salary Of 81 day, az Califor-
mia and Nevada, which allow SIS; while
twelve Of our most prosperous states
pay less than is paid here in Texas.

where the Nav Voter, nro Come.

Where the New Voters are Gong.
Now that the returns from the Ohio
election are almost complete, one may
venture to mallea comparison with the
state election of 1880, and by the result
judge critically of the real lesson of
the election.
Though these are not the exact
figures. the total vote of Ohio this yesr
will not go far from 10000. The
Greenback and Prohibition vote
resches 10000, leaving 75s,OOO to the
Democrats and Republicans. Putting
the Republican majority at / 900, this
gives Republican vote in the state of
some 354, 800 aud Democratic vote Of
$780, 500. In 1880. the combined Demo
cratic and Republican vote was 7O5, GEO,
of which the Republicans had Se4, 600
and the Democrats 34l 600. Now, we
find upon comparison that the Demo.
Gratis have increased their vote from
SH 600 TO 1874 500 In four years, while
the Republicans have only advanced
AAuAi outtNup ~ pottoNus III lew VIRUS,
the increase of Democratic votes
numbered SO, 500, while the Republl-
cans have an increase of but %, 500 to
boast of. The ratio of Democratic
growth is within fraction of per
cent; the ratio of Republican grow th
but per cent.
Again; of the SO, 600 new voters this
year (omitting Greenbackers and Pro
hibitionists) the Democrats have
1880, or almost two-thirds, while the
Republicans have but 2O,5OO, but little
more than one-third. This shows pos
lively where the young men of the
country are going in politics. Two OF
them go into the Democratic party to
cast their first vote, where one goes in
the Republican party. They reeog-
nize the Democratic party as the party
of the future. Blaineism has no
charms for them.
What comfort Republicans can ex-
tract from these facts they are well
come to. They may call it = famous
victory, but sensible people will say
that few more such victories will be
death TO them. Their party is in
steady decline, and is destined to per-
ish at the November election, or to
survive only in deerepitude.

New Mexico, the fact that he was

with the vital fact that crowd of Fort

tered threatening protest against the
execution Of legal writ on Satur-

Fort Worth men facilitated the escape
of a legally held prisoner on Sunday.

If the Democratic national cam

they will mass their forces and make
The light for victory in New York and
Indiana. The South is safe enough
without any help, except such as the
state campaign organizations can give,
and does not need the attention Of the
national committee. With their votes
and those of New York and Indiana
Cleveland will be as completely and
legally elected as by the votes of every
one Of the thirty-eight states. To carry
them is to insure success. To separate
forces and to distribute their work and
resources over hall dozen doubtful
states, such as Connecticut, Wisconsin,
Michigan, California and Nevada, Is
TO endan9er success at all by the pos
sibility of losing them. The skillul
general masses his troops and
hurls them on the enemy in his
weakest spot. He does not spread
out his forces and attack all points at
once, the strongest as well IS the weak
est. To be sure, we might carry sew
eral Of these doubtful states by Wig
orous fight but it would be at the
expense of resources needed in New
York and Indiana.
The Republicans alresdy have vir-
tually given up New York. They say
they do not need it, and if they can
carry all the other Northern states
they will have a majority without it.
But they must have every other one,
and especially Indiana. Their sue
cess in buying up a majority in that
state in 1880 will encourage them to
repeat the trick this year. They have
as much money now as then, and are
as skillful in its use. To beat them,
the Democrats must have a most per-
feet organization and use the most un-
firing vigilance. This will need all
their care and energy, and between
New York and Indiana they win mot

Legislative Paw.

Regularly about this time of year
the Texas papers take up and discuss
the question of increased compensa-
ton to members of the legislature.
Opinions differ widely, some contend.
ing that insufficient pay lowers the
standard Of the legislature by calling
out only seeond-olass men while 9TH
ers as stoutIy ma intain that the pres.
ent rate of pay is enough, and that the
position, not its pecuniary reward, is
what Is coveted.
There are two sides TO the question.
Good pay might bring out more in
telligent class OF candidates than usu /.
ally are sent to make our laws but in
the same degree as the prize became
more tempting the contest for IT would
he more bitter and the means employed
to win less honest and scrupulous.

way by heavier prices than
they can afford to oiiar now, thus MAX

advocates, that assumes that the Fort

from sinister considerations, trying 10
build up free-grass party. If the
shallow would-be statesmen who have
harangued the people of Northwest
Texas in advocacy of the lease
law would recognize the fact
that the average audience they have
had are intelligent, rejecting men
and women who understand their own
wants and surroundings, they would
never again stultify themselves by that
style OF argument. The advocacy OF
free grass in our section of the state
long ante-dates the very existence OF
the Fort Worth GAZETTE. THE GA.

lowed and given expression To ii on

THE GAZETTE is Off in it's facts. 1t
is we'll authenticated that there are but
two instances on record when men
were presented in the aspect of hold
ing to the caudRl appendages of
animals. The animal in one
case was bear and in the
other bull. Both are native to our
country and give more realistic en-
vironment to this case. Col. Jones
evidently holds the key to the situa-
ton. He won't turn over half the
stock purchased by the city, and won't
CELL the other half unless he gets his
price. The fathers were somewhat
hasty in this deal.
