The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-05-08

THE STATESMAN is glad to know
that its objections filed so promptly
induced the governor to withdraw
the indication" But at the same
time it regrets that in a whole state
full of people his excellency was
forced either to appoint man who
supported Wash Jones or Gen. Rob-
ertson against himself, the only true
democratic nominee. 1t is close
place to be il, sure enough, and Gov
ernor Ireland is entitled to sympathy
for the predicament he was IN by nc
fault of his own. Cruel fate can be
dreadfully cruel at times.

TIFF "white republicans" will soon
have to do all the voting for tina
party. The negroes will now come
over to their true friends, the demo
Gratis, with rush. They never have
had friends half so true, half so gen.
erous and unselfish as the men among
whom they have lived so long, and
who know their strength and weak
nesses so well. Certainly none other
have so much charity for the weak
ness and foibles common to thier com
mon humanity. We certainly think
that the action of the ''whites"at Dallas
the other day has completely settled
the hash of modern republicanism il
this state, and perhaps for many years
to come. We've no tears to shed.

Brave and Honest.

From the Houston Evening Journal.
The editorial of the Austin STATES
MAN, few days ago, on the scandal
Gus Adams trial at Dallas, was a
scorcher. 1t was brave, honest and
true plea for justice and a fearless
and scathing denunciation of great
wrong done the people of Texas.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
Considering the fact that the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia have
no vote in the presidential election
the vigor of the wrangle among the
republicans thereof for representatives
at Chicago is amusing.

THERE is now no sort of doubt
of the fact that if Ross had offered
for the nomination two months since
he would have beaten Ireland or any
other opponent. What the result
may now be, should he come
to the front, no one can
say, but it is nearly certain that he
would carry the convention by two
thirds. The old alcalde denies the a :
sertion put in his mouth to the effect
that he would support Ireland against
any and all other contestants. In pri.
vate conversation he says he will sup,
port Ross, if the latter offers with all
of his force. Ross and the o. a. joined
would be too strong even for the sage
of Seguin.
