we are gratifled to be allowed TO say
the mystery is disclosed. What was
hidden ia made plain by a simple met
aphyslcal exposition from Uncle Danl,
the sage of the Texas press. Uncle
| Dau'l observes:
| We have mover entered into any woman's
bosom, or mans either, and thrown open the
chambers OF her soul, ard examined the
| principles that governed her passions OF her
loves. But we have supposed that the cleo
trlc cnrrcnts in the souls of large and tall wo-
men were all positively charged, and that the
currents ia the souls Of all low and small
men werc negative, and we accounted for
their loves by the facts well known, In the
science OF electricity, that a body that is pos
tive will always draw to II a body that Ia
negative.
Electricity! There, you have 1t in a
word. That mysterious manifestation
Of the chief force of nature draws big
to little, little to big. 1t is a leveler of
inequalities, harmonizer Of threaten
ing disparities. The proposition adj
vanced by Uncle Dan is not only ten
able, but very probable a. well, show
ing the result Of profound reasoning
and extensive information, which ex-
perience alone can give. Uncle Dan'l |
Is right. Tenuyson, the poet-and |
poets are the Interpreters of the soul
has said, years ago
"Trust me. cousin, all the current of my
nature turns 10 thec,'
And how could he say that without
that there was electricity to
the current? We infer that
Mr.. Tenneyson loved little woman.
And here is another evidence of the
of Uncle Dan'l's theory:
When negative aud positive body
ONES in contact Il spark is the result.

)an'l; they will cover you with illus.
rious renown.

In special telegram from Austin
last Wednesday the GAZETTE printed
the following:
A GhzsTTR reporter interviewed Governo
Ireland on the subject this evening. II,
stated that he was entirely Indifferent as tc
the location of the convention, and he CAV,
no credit to the talk about lobbyists for III,
stock interest, at the convention, II located
In Fort Worth
The GAZETTE, as a private in the
rear rank, regrets that the political
and journalistic friends of Gov. Ireland
do not share his confidence and seren.
ity. While the governor was indiaar-
ent to the location of the nominating
convention and paid no heed to Wild
cat schemes" for his defeat, his cap.
tains, lieutenants, buglers and organs
have been acting and talking AS if
their political livers were as white as
cotton. This is to be regretted, because
soldiers grow int-hearted under a
tlmid leadership. 1t is calculated to
weaken the fealty of the most loyal to
see the captains turn pale at every
passing shadow and ii is a reflection on
the nrmy's strength when its leaders
rush to breastworks at every pop of n
blank cartridge. In fact. some Of the
governors friends are political emetics
to sensible people. First, we were
treated to the scare-crOw of
big RAILROAD scheme" which was TO
defeat Ireland, destroy the liberties of
the people, and make a gubernatorial
cats'paw of John Peter Smith. A
very little time suillced to dissolve this
scheme into its original clements,
namely, one newspaper interviewer
and one lone, lorn, ex-Texas railroad
man. Tnen came the land board de-
cision and the protests of men most
vitality Interested therein. Then came
the "Nolan county resolutions,u dl-
viding Texas all to pieces. Nolan
county east I'll votes in lsS2) In
thee last mentioned white-sheet cases
was found an organized opposition at
Fort Worth to defeat John Ireland. -
So strongly did this fear faslen about
the political hearts of the governors
captains and lieutenants that il was
openly charged at Waco by men
who naturally favored this
city for the safe nomina-
ting convention that Fort Worth Of

and close friends of this city actually
He'd from the contest, ail'righted at the

For the sake Of the esprit an corns

all fear has now been allayed. The

called to meet at n
time when the farmers. the
