TEXAS POLITICS.
JoNrs, roLAR AND DANHAM !

have been asking some questions here
OF leading men, as 10 the political pros
poets, and report to you what answers
1 have received:
First, "a to the presidential race.
This tNolan) county Is largely Demo-
cratic and will poll big majority for
Cleveland; though Republicans here
will support Blaine, In spite OF the re-
ports and charges rejecting against his
character.
I met here gentleman just from
New Mexico, whose ranch Is not FAR
from that ON which CourtTight aud
MeIntire are charged with having
committed murder. de says the gem
eral impression out there is
that thew were only tools
of Black Jack Logan, who
really instigated the killing. But he
says "the ring" is made up of their
friends and that no mob law need be
anticipated. In this connection this
idea is suggested, viz: III Logan is
murderer, and should be elected, and
he should be indicted later, would 1t
not be a pretty pickle for the presl-
dent and the vice-presldent OF the
United States to be in, the one with a
libel suit on his hands in which
he Is charged with seduc-
ton, etc, the other in New Mexico,
ON charge Of murder? l suggested
this idea casually here, but the an
swer / got from the Republican 10
whom was talking was: 1--WE are
going to vote for them all the same"
Ireland will not carry this county
unless indications here are deceptive.
The indications / refer to point TO
=. lad In fha
gubernatorial race. One well-informed
gentleman said:
have all along voted n straight Dsmo-
cratic ticket but this time / will scratch Ire
land, Tenn pleton and Walsh. They are the
enemies Of this section, no matter what they
predict that Wash Jones Will beat Ireland in
Nolan county 80 votes.
The announcement of DIR. All II. II.
Tolar OF the Colorado Clipper for state
senator, is the newest development in
politics In this section. have asked
the opinions of quite number OF the
best men here and west of here what
the result Of this race will be, and all
of them agree that 1t IL doubtful, with
strong chances In favor Of Tolar.
Here is what one man said TO me:
For ! don't know how many years East
land county has furnished the state senator
for this part OF Texas. Davenport was SEN
ator from Eastland. Then Fleming wai
senator from EastlAnd. And now calhoun
wants 10 be senator from ERsu9nd. Accord
ing to my notion a Turn a tSsp,
any better man than Tolar, or more
identified with this section, or would maxi
