Bolton Journal: The Austin Sta,es.

lands administration. While thew
claim the right to criticise the acts If
all public officers, yet they will not
carry on the open and bitter war
against the administration that was
begun under the old management of
the Statesman. The Journal conprat-
ulates the Statesman upon making
this sensible change.
Marlin Ball: There's the Ross
boom, the Smith boom, the Fleming
boom, but the biggest boom is the Ire.
land boom, land don't you forget it.u
Terrell Star: The people of Texas
are almost unit in favor of the re-
election Of John Ireland.
Willis Index: A correspondent of
the Galveston News suggests Ireland for
Governor and Gooch for lieutenant-goy-
ernor, as the head of the next Demo.
cratic state ticket. Well, we'll be sat
sfied. A better ticket cannot be
made.
Gainesville Advance: The affairs of
state are bilious just now, and the row
ernor should have good degree of the
bilious temperament. Without a
waste of words we are bound to say
that John Ireland is that man.
Kaufman Sun: There is no oues
ton but what Gov. Ireland will be his
own successor.
Abilene Reporter: Seldom in the
history of the state has any man so in
gratiated himself in the affections of
the people as has Gov. Ireland. He
has been faithful public servant, and
has endeavored to do his duty by the
whole people. He has to the utmost
of his power upheld the dignity of the
law, and has done more, perhaps, to-
ward the suppression of lawlessness in
the state than any other man has ever
done. That he will be his own sue
cessor seems to be a foregona conclu-
sion. And it is right he should, for
Texas cannot well dispense with his
services for a while yet. Gov. Ire
land seems TO be general favorite all
over the state, not withstanding the
numerous candidates that are looming
up.
Luling Signal: II the News is so
anxious to defeat Governor Ireland,
why does 1t not oppose him in fair
and open manner, and not stoop TO
falsehood to get material to tight
him with? People are beginning to
look upon 1t as Il regular Mulhatton
organ, with no regard for truth what
ever.
Dallas Times: 1t is generally be-
lieved that Governor Ireland has no |
more opposition to-day than he had |
week ago. And yet, the cattlenen met |
in convention in the meantime.
Bolton Journal Like the GAZETTE |
the Journal has been friendly towards
Governor Ireland, and il would not |
have him judge hastily or harshly. |
But the vim with which he is apply |
ing the resources furnished by the |
extra session shows clearly that he in
tends to have the Laws faithfully exc
cuted. The Journal has no doubt but |
that by the last of June the governor |
can show so great change for the bet
ter that the convention will say with
one accord, "well done thou good and |
faithful servant"
However, as the GAZETTE says, this
question of having one or two cOnveu-
tons is only one of eXpediency, and
the journal will willingly submit to
The will of the majority.
