The situations are very similar in
many respects, only the ehasm in this
instance is located on republican ter
ritory alone. 1t does not separate
republican and democratic terrific
ry. 1t only separates Garfeldism
and Grantism. But for all the pur-
poses of first-class family
shindy inside of the repub-
lean party, there is not a
single element of mischief absent.
from the situation. 1t carries more
distressful heartsches about with it
than any nomination ever yet made
by republican national convention.
The edge of all this, from a democratic
standpoint, is to be made to cut by
first-class nomination on our part.
This done, and James G. Blaine's
political head will roll into the basket
just as surely as sure as he lives to see
November next put in an appearance.
Blaine, Conkling and Grant are capa-
BILE, all three, of making Il kindly re-
mark about a democrat, or of
doing him kindly act OF
service, but about each other or by
Grant or Conkling to Blaine, it is inn
possible. In politics, the principle OF
che who is not for me is against me-
has deadlier significance than it ever
had in religionor morals, and that is
the condition exactly so far as these
their leading, and we might say, COM
manding influence are concerned. They
not only do not ''love one another" on
a scriptural plan, but they do hate like
blazes. If the literal and exact truth
could be ascertained to-day it would
be found that neither Grant or Conk-
ling would hesitate to fatally impede
Blaine if they knew how to do it, and
the illiterate dragon on the other end
of the ticket whom they found use
full in their day, would not hold their
vengence in check for a single mo-
ment.
This is both simple statement CT
truth and a revelation, and it should
go long way in fixing the choice of
the democratic Zimmerman. Let us
take man for whom these two illus
trious and exceedingly sore patriots
could feel a kindly respect, or in whom
they might have confidence, and they
can be relied upon implictly,to relieve
us of vast amount of the hard drudg-
cry of the coming campaign, and all
this aside from the tariff question or
any consideration growing out of it,
or having relations with it in any way.
These reflections are appropos to the
meeting at Fort Worth Wednesday,
and they do not come a moment too
soon either.

THE Galveston News doesn't make
a very decided hit in its denial of the
charge that it supported Ochiltree as
against Findlay. However, we frank
ly accept even the qualified admission
that to have done so would have been
undemocratic. This is good deal for
the News to admit. Now lift will to-
tally abandon its assault on the
two-thirds rule and let this old time
honored democratic principle alone, it
will do. In the assault the News has
continuously made upon it for many
years, she has done more to unnerve
the democracy, to invite schism and
to loosen the party fibre than she can
repair by twice the number of years
of ardent services of a positive in
stead of a negative character, as
the simple leaving alone of the rule
would be. The News position would
be all right were it real out and out
independent or or even republican
paper, but when it claims democracy
as over other party papers, it must
either have a better record in the past
or bear up as the Post has done, and
take the course which leads to some
at least of the old landmarks of par
tY faith. a paper can hardly claim
party consideration and party patron
age when it presistently fights party
principles as the News has done. We
have no bitterness in making this
statement, and nothing would give us
sincerer pleasure than to see the
the News working with all of its
great abilities squarely for known
and accepted democratic ends and
purposes.

get no fight out of us as to Tilden's
intellectual superiority. If he had
never written, said or done anything
other than to write and send that re-
cent letter to the Iroquois club, his
claim would have been good. But
that letter lifts the dead CD statesman
high above all his compeer5 of to-day
and grandly establishes his present
fitness to be the leader of the hosts
of faithful democrats, in the coming
race.

s not having any accredited delegates
present.
The committee recommended as
the order of business the election of
delegates to the various conventions,
and nomination of county officers in
the order set forth in chairman Sneed's
cali.
The committee recommended E.
w. Smith, of Manor precinct, as chair
man of the convention, S. II. Darden
as vice-preshlent, and Will Lam
bert for secretary, with authority to
select assistants, and John p. Kirk for
sergeant alarms with authority to APP
point assistants.
The report was adopted, and Mr..
Smith took the chair, saying it looked
like burlesque to take a farmer just
from his plow to preside over con-
vention of lawyers and city men, but
he subsequently exhibited thorough
capacity for the position.
The convention then proceeded with
nominations for delegates to the Fort
Worth convention in a novel and
time-saving fashion, when it was by a
vote d. cidHd that the county should be
represented by twenty-one delegates to
each of the conventions, and nomlna-
lions were in order. Names to the
number of twenty-one were propose
and written on the bla' kboard to be
voted for. When that. number was
reached Col. Carleton moved thai the
persons named be declared elected
delegates to the Fort Worth conVen-
ton, which motion carried.

delegates to Fort Worth to select del

changed opinions, and the MN and woman
are now under q cloud Ut suspicion and

1t became known yesterday, that the
woman was about to become a mother.
The tongue OF gossip and scandal went to
work with a venc eance. No one believed
the man and woman were husband and
wife, and of course everyone had something
of censure to say. The Gaze WAS reported
to Officer S,osberg yesterday, who WIS told
the poor woman wss in a most critical con-

Bob DeGarmo, the worthless vagrsn,
who has given the police so much trouble
of late, was again arrt sted by Officer Cos
gage yesterday. Shortly after his incar-
ceration he began to show signs of insanity
and County Physician Overslreet was sent
for. After making an examination, the
physician decided that Bob was insane and
ordered Mar,hal Barnett to turn him over
to the custody of the sheriff. His case will
