The Independonta In New York.

The Independents in New York,
Either there Is some unequaled ly-
ing going on, or New York will ami
hilate the Republican party by ma
jority for Cleveland as large as that
given him for governor, The indie
pendent state committee have just
made n thorough canvass OF the state
and claim TO be surprised themselves
at the showing. The numerical
strength of the Republican revolt is
shown to be 10000 outside of the
great cities of New York and Brook
Ign, themselves hot beds of Republi-
can disafiection. The chairman of
the Independent state committee says:
"There is no doubt whatever
that the governor will come down to
the Harlem bridge with a majority.
III there Is no Democratic disalfection,
or II what feeling there is against
Cleveland does not cost him $4,000
votes, he will carry the state by a
large majority. We have no means of
estimating either Cleveland's strength
or weakness in other directions. Since
the campaign opened we have dealt
exclusively with the Independents,
There is no doubt that 5000 Repub-
licans will so over to the governor
direct. Perhaps so per cent. OF the
remainder will give st. John vote.
Many of them will either stay at home,
or content themselves with voting
local tickets" These figures and esti-
mates are outside of New York city
and Brooklyn.
"And further continued the Inde-
pendent chairman, "the figures show
that the Republican bolt this year Is
almost as extensive as that which
buried Mr.. Folger, and Cleveland's
majority viii be almost as large, pro
vidlng the Democrats can hold theiI
party vote. 1t is impossible to say
what changes In the situation may oc
cur between this time and the 4th o.
November, but II the people We're Il
go to the polls on Tuesday next II
would be found that the feeling against
Blaine is substantially duplication o.
that which overwhelmed Mr.. Folger
so far as its results are con
cerned. or course the origin OF tn,
feeling in this case is very different "a
that which reused the party two year
ago, but the consequences to the candi
date will be the same, unless the sltu
alton changes quite materially befor'
the baIlot-boxes are in position"
The Independent leaders are deter
mined that for their part there shall b
no slack In the campaign. They hav'

The nReal Tmtb -

A correspondent writes to know the
"real truth. as he puts 1t, about the
election In Ohio and Virginia. 1.-THE
Republican papers claim large gains
In Ohio and West Virginia, and the
Democrats claim the advantage in
both states Please tell me the "real
TRUTH
THE GAZETTE has told the real
truth" We will, however, produce
figures, and allow our correspondent
to form his own conclusions.
Ohio elected the Republican ticket
this year by 1892 excess over the
Democratic vote; but the Democratic
vote and the other opposition to the
Republican party are in excess of the
Republican vote, so that instead of
majority the Republicans are in
minority Of about 1915 on the total
vote. In 1850 the vote, as given by
"Spofiord's American Almanac was
3G4,Oi5 Republican, S4o, 1893 Democratic
and $3.50 Greenbacker, giving the Re
publicans clear majority of 6,lss.
Whether the Democrats or Republic
cans have lost or gained any man can
figure out for himself,
West Virginia gave Hancock in 1880
1891; Garfield, 46,243, and Weaver
0O79, the Democratic majority being
9O69, though Hancock led Garfield IL, :
las. This year the Republicans and
Greenbackers combined on n fusion
ticket, and the Democrats have ma
jority over them of 529s, though the
returns are not complete and these
figures may be slightly changed. In
making comparisons with 1850 of
course the total Republican and Green
back vote must be considered in oppo.
sitiOn TO the Democratic vote, as the
vote this year in opposition to the
Democrats combines both those par
ties. 1t is at once seen that the Demo-
cratic net gain is from a majority of
2060 10 one of 529s. The Republicans,
however, find 1t suits their ends
to compare the Democratic plurality OF
II las, in 1850, with the clear major.
ity Of 5000 this year, over both Repub
> licans and Greenbackers, and claim
that they have reduced the Demo
cratic majority by 5000. We present

This is the "real TRUTH" aud our

them, according rs he is inclined
THE GAZETTE, as Democratic paper

WICHITA FALLS, Ten, oct. o.
Several families from old Bourbon
county, KY, the center of the blue
grass region, came in to-day and
started for their new homes ON Beaver
creek, this county. Mr.. Wood, in
charge of tke party, informs your cor
respondent that quite number of
families from the blue grass coun-
try" are coming out here this fall and
winter.
A number Of families en- route west
and northwest of here, moving from
Eastern and Southern Texas, were on
the streets to-day. These people have
with them their teams, cows, plows,
etc, really and willing 10 begin life In
the New Northwest. The writer
learned, in talking with some of the
party, that they and many of their
neighbors had learned of this great
and growing part OF Texas by reading
THE GAZETTE, and rs they had be-
come tired of the timber and cotton
country, they decided to move
out here where they could
farm and stock raise together. One
Of the party being asked II they were
disappointed in this country, replied,
"Yes, and agreeably so. We lind a
much better soil and more water than
we expected to, and from all appear
ances, this must be a healthy coun-
try.n
mo" he added, 1--WE are here and
glad of it, and many of our friends
will follow us this fall and winter. This
country Is good enough for us, and we
only regret not coming sooner.n SO II
goes; the tide Ia turning tO the North
west and the great desertu will soon
be Inhabited and support as many
babies and calves ~ any of the old

from Dakota, who is here with the
view OF locating a colony, says that "a
great many Swedes and Norwegians
in that section have become tired o.
the long and tedious winters and are
thinking seriously OF moving South

Preliminary Examination OF the Fire
Bugs-Cattle Shipments
Business Notes,


Special TO the Gazette.
BOWIE, TEX, Oct 25.-SheriT Cleo.
w. Campbell returned this morning
from Southern Texas, for which see
ton he left just week ago to make an
important arrest. He effected his pur-
pose, and has in charge Bandy How
ell, a stout looking boy of about
twenty years, charged with being
party to the courthouse burning in
March last.
The state has closed her evidence in
the case now under examination
against the Clark brothers), and the
defense has had same continued over
in order TO get their witnesses. The
result of the preliminary trial of these
cases Is of course looked forward to
with great interest But little doubt
is entertained OF the defendants being
bound over In good bonds for their APP
pearance before the next district court.
Large shipments of cattle have been
made during the past few weeks from
the Falls, Henrietta, Bellevue and
other points along the line of the road.
There have been several trains through
daily and each night during the time
mentioned.
While our merchants and business
men grumble more or less OF dullness
of business as compared with last sea
son, nevertheless, find upon talking
with our leading grocery and dry
goods men that they are doing good
and at least a fair amount of business,
and have no good reason TO
complain. j. n. Lowrie, for exam
pie, has, done very good
jobbing trade this past week. Trim
BILE d Co., also grocery house, are
having a good and increasing trade,
and the same may be said OF other
leading houses in both lines.
Bowie has been receiving fine con-
tribution to her already large trade
from the east portion and cream of
Clay county; also large quantities OF
cotton from around Newport, Post
Oak and other points III that county
The Red River stations in this county
are sending good part of their cotton
etc, to Bowie instead of Gainesville
There is considerable cotton yet I'M
marketed in various localities i'm this
and neighboring counties, and our re.
ceipts will foot up better than eX

In the death of the Houston Post
IL was the expected that happened.
AS the dead are beyond the reach OF
both rivalry and malice, the News can
review frankly and soberly the mete-
oric career and final extinction of the
Post without mourning the charge OF
interested or spiteful criticism. Mark
ed though IL was after q manner with
splendid displays of enterprise, the
Post scarcely enjoyed day of solid
health from the moment of its birth 10
the moment of its death. The ambi-
tious flight IL took was magnificent,
but IL was not scientific or business
like journalism. No newspaper adj
venture can successfully defy the law
OF supply and demand. AS circum-
stances defined the situation for the
Post, there never was an adequate
reason for it's existence except as a
local paper, devoted to local interests,
and drawing it's sustenance from local
sources. The Post made the mistake
OF struggling 10 pull down the News
instead OF struggling to build
Itself up. II also made the
mistake OF believing that II
understood the sentiments and wants
OF the people OF Texas better than The
News, aud that consequently II could
In few months displace The News IN
the affections Of the people, II the
Post had studiously and especially
consulted the interests OF Houston, the
local sentiment OF Houston, and kept
out OF state or general politics as a
thick and thin partisan organ, II
might have been alive and moder-
ately prospecting to-day. But, like
