WASH JONES.
What the Papers Say of the Great In.
dependents Candidacy.

Alvarado Bulletin: Gov. Ireland
will have an easy time beating Jones.
Cleburne Chronicle: Wash Jones has
at last announced his determination to
run for governor on the Republican
] Endorsement.
Dallas Times: Jones hopes to receive
! the smile of the Republican admins
tration by opposing the Democratic
party i'm Texas. He further expects
such smiles to be full of rewards. But
there are other men in this state who
have AN eye on the same rewards, and
they will be on hand to explain the
conduct OF Jones. The combined eff
forts of Jack Evans, the Nortons,
Cochran, Leader, etc, will be devoted
to seeing that Mr. Jones is not taken
into full fellowship by the Republican
party.
Decatur Post: He has now given the
word and no doubt thinks he Is
making the dirt fly higher than q
North Carolina pine tree. But
"Wssh,n in all good candor, you are
foo heavy behind and light before 10
even hold ireland q light to run by.
San Antonio Light: Wash Jones,
being the Ben Butler OF Texas, Is
naturally catching IL from the Demo-
cratic papers. and they are shouting as
vociferously as If they were likely to
be defeated in November.
Marshall Herald: There can be but
one object in Jones again becoming a
voluntary candidate, and this is to
keep himself before the people, no
matter how ridiculous the pose, for he
knows there is far less chance for his
election this time than in his previous
race. Even the Republicans have no
confidence in or use for him; in fact,
the straight Republicans have declared
that they will support Ireland in pref
erence to him.
Nerton's Intelligencer: To the rec
ommendation OF the Houston conven-
ton of September there is no validity
and no binding force. Without Re
publican ticket in the field Texas Re
publicans have the privilege OF voting
for the Democratic ticket, and cannot
be censured for so doing. Nay,
If they believe the men com.
posing that ticket have made
good officers it is their duty TO vote for
them-as they have no candidates rep
resentIng their own principles
MANY Of them will ask themselves ifl
omen. bold, courageous foe is not en-
, titled to their respect in preference to {
chameleon who has no fixed principle:
and whose hand is against all met
who differ with him in belief.
Delta Banner: For the last two Of
; three wears the sorehead element o
Texas has been using George Wash
ington Jones as an imaginary bngbeal
+ to Brighten the Democratic party. On
every occasion where measure ha'
: been created or a public Official La
acted antagonistlc to their "screed" thu
cadaveTous parsonage Of Texas famous
political nondescript has been thTns
menacingly into the rublic face TO dis
