THE GRAPEVINE ROAD.
An Appeal TO Peter Smith and Fort
Worth 10 Build 1t.

GRAPEVINE, May 3.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Grapevine people are offering their
trade to Fort Worth and Dallas
whichever will help her build a rail.
road. OF course we have our prefer.
ences. Some would rather have Dallas
connection, but majority, believe,
take to Fort Worth. Though our
railroad committee met with but little
encouragement in the Fort, and a
great deal of lip encouragement in
Dallas, yet there is more hopeful
feeling of help from Fort Worth than
from Dallas. You remember that old
Bible story about the two sons, one of
whom refused to do his fathers bid
ding, but afterward repented and did
1t; the other of whom promised and
failed to keep his promise. Well, we
feel that Fort Worth will think better
of herself and come up in time and
give us a railroad, but we don't look
for much from Dallas.
Our confidence in Fort Worth comes
from the confidence we have in the
good sense and enterprise of few OF
her leading citizens, and at their head
Peter Smith. We think a great deal
OF Peter Smith out here. In fact, we
think of him and Fort Worth in the
same breath. They are so identified
as to be almost synonymous terms
Their greatness has grown upon US to-
3 gether. Therefore 1t is that when W,
: sag we want Fort Worth to help u,
build railroad, we think of Pete
Smith as the man to build it. Every
body says that if we can ge

e terpr.se is assured. Why, he got the

A FEELING is growing up among
Republicans in the East that ticket
composed of Grant and Lincoln would
bring out Republican enthusiasm and
carry the country with rush. Hero
worship, it may be noted, is not an in
eradicable fault of the American peo-
pie, and secondhand heroes don't
count for much. Merely because he is
the sou Of Abraham Lincoln is n poor
argument for Bob Lincoln. The late
Democratic candidate combined the
names of two Of Americas greatest
heroes Winfield Scott and John Ham

pleases, and he won't please to give II

A White Republican Party and Its Results

A White Republican Party and Its Results.
The agitation of the movement to
form White. Republican party in the
South EXPRESSES hostility which
Southern white Republicans feel
toward their colored allies. 1t is a feel
ing which, though smothered in cleo.
ton years for policy's sake, nevertho-
less has an existence with nearly all of
the white members of that party in
the South. 1t was seen in the recent
state convention held in this city,
though attempted to be concealed.
Had the whites predominated in that
convention largely enough to give
them unquestioned control of its pro-
ceedings, they would have demon
strated their con Tempt for the "brother
in black" by total ignoring of his
claims. AS it was the negroes were
given liberal representation in the
Chicago delegation for the same rea-
son that the lion took the greater
share OF the spoils-because they had
the power to t Ike what they wanted.
When the whites supposed that they
controlled the convention the more
magnanimous of them thought of al
lowing one colored delegate at large,
but even this concession was generally
resisted, and would have been defeated
If the feelings of the whites had been
frankly expressed, and the votes had
been theirs to do as they wished. The
position of the two factions of the
party toward each other Is now one of
} forced peace. 1t is unnatural and
cannot last. The negro will be better
, OIL when he ceases to form the chief
element of the Republican party in
the South. When the white Republl.
cans break with the blacks, as they
threaten, the solidity of that race
! will be broken and their votes dis.
persed. When the Democratic party
Is no longer opposed by Republican
{ party composed almost exclusively OF
, negroes, the overwhelming preponder.
ance of the Democratic party will
cause 1t to fall out and break up into
factions The negro vote will be
} courted by each faction. and each will
protect the negro against the other,
The Republican party Of the South
may be reformed, and the negro cease
to be the dividing line between Demo
, Gratis and Republicans.
In the Northern states, too, the eff a
, Of white Republican party will b.
'felt, and the Democrats will profit by
1t. The negro vote in Indiana, Ohio
, and Illinois holds the balance Of power

THE late serious illness of Congress
man Reagan threatened for awhile to
deprive the Second district of con-
gresham and the state OF an efficient
and experienced legislator. Happily
that danger is past for the present. 1t
has served to call attention to the fact
that Mr.. Reagan could hardly afford
TO be spared from the Texas delegation
in congress. where he is the senior OF
the Texas delegation, not only In point
OF service but In years as well, being
now In his sixty.sixth year, aud this
being his seventh term In congress. In
addition to this. he was also member
Of the provisional congress of the
Southern Confederacy. His legislative
experience is therefore ripe and tested,
and the state Is TO be congratulated
upon the favorable turn Of his malady.

What II Costs,

The price that American consumers
nav to American manufacturers In the
disguise of tariff never appears so Dig
az when It is marked in plain figures
and people begin to estimate what IL
all amounts to. Prof. Sumner has es-
timated that the excess paid by con.
sumers in this country on account oil
the increased tariff price amounts TO
5000, 900, 900 annually. The sum Is
enormous and at first glance incredible,
but when the facts are examined IL
cannot be denied that it is probable.
The import duty on number OF ar
ticles of common use is fixed at the
following rates.

THERE will be s26 votes in the Re
publican national convention and the
successful candidate must have Ala to
get the nomination. PLANE already
has about $50 votes in his favor, and
several states are yet to hear from.
Blaine to-day has more votes assured
than he ever received before. In 1876
his highest vote in the convention was
Dol, and in 1850 he could not get more
than 2si. So far, then, his prospects
are far better than ever before of being
chosen the Republican candidate.

Fort WORTH has shown the Re.
publicans what she can do in the way
of entertaining and taking care of a
state convention, and now for the
Democrats. When the June gather
ing is over, the two parties, however
divided and antagonistic as to other
questions, will be united on one point
and that is that the Fort, II lavish in
promises, has the disposition and abil
ity to live UP to them.
