TEXAS IN ELECTION EMBRO-
GllOS

These few remarks are dedicated to
Mr.. BLAINE and his committee:
When the first legislature Of Texas
met in February, 1916, tho two houses,
in joint session, counted the votes for
governor and acknowledgement and
officially proclaimed j. P. HENDERSON
governor and NICHOLAS H. DARNELL
acknowledgements. One small coun-
ty's returns were missing. Col. OAR
NELL was officially informed OF his
election by joint committee Of the two
houses, and notified to appear next day
and take the oath. But during the in
tervening night the missing returns ar
rived, electing ALBERT G. HORTON by a
few votes over DARSELL. Though they
came too late, Col. DARNlLL refused to
take the oath, demanded that
the missing votes be counted
and HORTON in"ugurated. This
was done, and the result was
that as Gov. Henderson went into the
Mexican war in command Of tho Texas
troops, Mr.. HORTON served as governor
through most of the term. The vener-
able DARNELL yet lives ~ . monument
Of JEFFERsoNIAN integrity, honored in
every household in the land. Were Mr..
BLAINE constituted Of similar material
the people Of this republic would be
spared the shame now emblazoned be-
fore the world through his pronuncia-
mentos and idiotic attempts At repeating
the great steal OF 1876.

REMARKABLE FACTS AND FIG
uRES IN ELECTIONS,

Tho great interest attaching to the
close vote in New York recalls many
similar and closer votes in previous
elections, in not one Of which did the de-
feated candidate or party raise a howl AS
Mr.. BLAINE and three OF his national
committee JONES, ELKINs and DAvES-
PORT did in tho present case, before
they had ono fact, figure or circum.
stance upon which to base their silly
and preposterous assumptions.
In 1899, MARCUS MORTON beat Ed
WARD EvtRETT two votes for governor
of Massachusetts. A change OF one
vote would have thrown the election
into the Wing legislature by which Ev-
ERETT would have been elected. But
BLAINE's tactics were not in vogue,
and MORTON held the Office.
In 1910, GsN. HARRISON carried Penn
sylvania for president by $40 votes, but
the defeated Democrats acquiesced
without murmur.
In 1874 Mr.. Polk was beaten
by Mr.. CLAY IN his own state Of
Tennessee by only ll6 votes, but no bal
lot. box thief appeared to change the re-
suit. Polk and his party yielded the
state without a word.
In ls4S, for governor Of Pennsylvania,
JOHNSON, Wing, beat LoNasTRETH
Democrat, by only s05 votes, the first
time the Wings ever had . governor in
that state. The state officers were oil
Democrats, yet they honestly counted
TIE vote and insugurated JOHNSON.
Blaineism had not yet been born in that
state.
In 1850 WARRINGTON HUNT beat Ho-
RATIO SEYMOUR for governor Of Now
York by 262 votes, but no Democratic
howl Of fraud was raised. SEYMOUR
and his party yielded without = breath
Of dissent.
In 1852 SEYMOUR defeated HUNP bv .
large majority, but in 1854 he, in turn,
WAS defeated by MYRoN FL. CLARK by
800 votes. SEYMOUR and the other DEM
ocratic state officers counted the votes
as they were cast and declared CLARK
electsd. In all Of these cases the de-
feated party yielded without any
Blaineish prOclamations.

Hon. JOSEPH e. BRowy has been re-
elected senator by the legislature OF
Georgia. Gov. BROWN, as he is generally
called, was the war governor of his state
and after the war was inclined to unite
with the Republicans. He soon tired vi
his affiliations, however, and came back
10 the Democratic fold. Upon GIN. Cor
poN's resignation, Gov. Brown was ap-
pointed by GEN. CoLaUITT to fill his un
expired term. On the meeting Of the
legislature he was elected for the term,
and again he has received the endorse
ment OF that body by vote almost
unanimous-only two in the whole as
sembly voting against him. A year or
M since SENATOR BRowN's health was
supposed to be so bad as to necessitate
his resignation, but he has recupersted
and will serve his state with character
istic energy and fidelity. He is man
Of wonderful business capacity and no

which he is member will be his supe-
rior in active participation in legisia-
tive duties.

NATIONAL STOCK TRAIL.

Perhaps the most extensive subject tC
be handled by the present stock con-
vention at st. Louis, is tho establish
ment of grand national trail from fonl
to eight miles in width, and extending
from the gulf to Canada. Some Of our
Texas papers contend that the trail
shall commence at the northern limits
Of the state, but the northwest interest
demands either trail from the extreme
southern boundary of Texas to the Bri.
fish possessions, or quarantine.
The proposition is certainly grand
and bold. To mako q belt
of, say six miles in width,
across the United States from north to
south is rather startling, especially
when il is remembered that considerable
private property must be condemned
But when it is considered what vast ad.
vantages will ensue, and what great in.
terests subserved, the proposition must
be regarded as most desirable in It's con.
summation. 1t is estimated that two
millions of dollars will be required fol-
its construction, and million more FOL
the fencing-the whole property tn vest
in the United States. Every hundred OF
so miles wedged- shaped fence from
either side focusing in bridge under
which the north-going cattle may
pass, and over which those from
the right and left may travel
will be built. This plan prevents
all necessity for mixing Of herds and
leaves free track for every drove
Congress is to be petitioned for this, and
it is believed it can constitutionally be
granted under the inter state commerce
provision. 1t is insisted by the north
west that Texas, the great breeder OF
stock, shall take tho initiative in this
move, as she must necessarily have 4
market for her accumulating herds.
The HERALD awaits with interest the
evolution of this great problem and i'm
clines to tho feasibility and advisability
of tho national trail.
