TuE county Democracy are not near
so jubilant as when they started out.
They have found an opposition In the
Peoples ticket never before experienced,
and one that will grow larger as the
days go by. At no time In the history

promised so much as does the Peoples
ticket, and one need only to compare the

thinks that true Republicans win have
no difficulty in making a choice between

mated by the machine, and ticket
chosen by the mutual action of the best
citizens with a fair proportion of Repub-

SPEAKING Of the Curtls-Schurz indie
pendent movement, the New York Sun
says: "The Independent Republican
movement is an arrested development.
1t will not grow, save to grow beauti-
fully less. Its originators were, for the
most part, men of talent and of praise
worthy intentions; but they made a
great mistake, which is now getting
rectiiied."

The Gazette calls upon 100000 Demo-
Gratis in Texas to contribute 81 each for
the purpose Of carrying the Ohio cleo
ton, and says: ave have no opposition
worthy Of account in this State and no
use for money. Texas Democrats have
as great an interest In the election of
Democratic President as the Democrats
OF the North. Since the money is not
needed here, why not send II where 1t Is
needed? The election cannot be carried
without As votes from the North, and
these must be fought for. As long as
we cannot give our votes, let us give Of
our money to help carry these doubtful
States" The usual Democratic logic is
that If Ohio goes Republican II will have
no significance, and for that reason II
looks like this appeal was unnecessary.
But possibly the situation is as bilious
for the Democrats as the Republicans
claim, and that Ohio will vote for pro-
lection and elect the Republican ticket.
At any rate, the desperate state of the
Democracy is apparent by reason of their
frantic appeals for money.

"The crown which sits on the Calves
ton Cotton Exchange" says the Texas
Monitor, belongs rather to Manchester
and New England manufacturers. A
land which grows cotton but does not
manufacture it is land that makes
large profits occasionally, but always
pays higher prices than other lands for
its necessary commodities, that is nearly
always in debt, and even in the best Of
years barely out of debt, with no surplus
TO carry 1t over the bad year, which is
nearly certain to follow. A land that
grows cotton but does not manufacture
1t is land with banks that do large
discount business, but is a land without

TnE Austin Dispatch gives too much
credit to Messrs. J. =. Newcomb, Of this
city, and J. c. DeGress, of Austin, when
1t says they manipulated the Fort Worth
and the Houston conventions, and pre-
vented the nomination of a straight Re-
publican ticket. But this assertion OF
the Dispatch probably serves to show
just how much influence the boilers at
the Dallas conference had in the great
body of delegates. Boilers are hardly
competent to criticise the loyalty Of
any person or paper to the party, es-
peoially when these boilers are Of long
standing and their support of the party
conventions is an exception rather than
the rule

Some Cold Blooded Wickedness.

Some sinner, whose wickedness
passeth all understanding, has stolen
our scissors. Now, if he had only
stolen our pen, it would not have
disturbed us much, but the loss of
our scissors, is more than we can
bar. Like the great majority of
journalist, we are not very vigorous
With pen, but We are lightning with
a pair of shears
Composing with scissors is not
only the easier and quicker way, but
it is far safer than the old style.
Men don't come around wallOping
the editor and throwing his ghastly
remains in the gutter for articles
that he steals from the great dailies
the articles he writes are the ones
that get him into business, and con
struct hideous ruins Oh his classical
features.
The editor who doesn't keep a
pen, but wields a fluent and vigor-
Gus pair of scissors, can paddle
along down the stream of time with
feeling of complete security. When
he looks at the Chicago editors, and
sees that they still live, he knows
that the path of the penless compo-
ser is one of safety.-Utica Comet.
