The free grass controversy has reached
what may he called the "cjaculatOry"
stage. Argument has been exhausted
and the controversy is carried on by
boasts and threats, bragadocio and cpl

valuable addition to the present stock OF

Peter Smith is mighty handy man
around Fort Worth. When there is a
convention or anything of that sort
there is no running around after an ora
Peter is right there every time. Fort

Now is the time to call into active SER
vice of the Democracy men Of nerve and
Democrats, not the
nurslngs of tender growth-men clad in
full armor, whose tempered steel is proof
against the lances of the adversary. The
tender skinned fellows whose thin coat
ing Of Democracy straw might pierce,
are not fit even for u skirInish in Presi-
dental year. Bryan Enterprise.
Some persons claim to be Democrats
whose political garments set upon them
as lightly as the thinest of gossamcr,
that may be blown aside or dispelled by
every passing breeze. They call Them
selves liberals-not the slaves of party
but they are slaves to that which is
worse, Il love of personal popularity and
an ambition to succeed in their aspira-
lions that is stronger than all other mo-
tives.- Bryan Enterprise.

it be consolation, that he invited it by
his bitter opposition to Ireland in the
Legislature last winter. Courses, like
chickens, will come home to roost."-

Treats by free-grass men that they will
bolt the party if the Democrats in the
State convention do not accede to their
demands, can have no effect upon the
mass of the people, other than to fortify
them in the determination to carry out
their own ideas of the best policy for the
State in land affairs. The disaffected
element is so insignificant in the whole
body of the voters of the State, that the
threats of their organs may be looked
upon purely from disinterested point OF
view.-[Cleburne Telegram.
The Dallas HERALD has a few words
to say about office-sccking. Large num-
bers of men are continually in search of
office. No matter how small the posi-
ton, the number of applicants is always
excessive. Day laborers can make more
than is paid TO some officers, yet there is
