PRINCIPLES FIRST.

One of the cardinal rules of the
Democrat party has always been,
'sprinciples not men," 1t is upon
principles enunciated by a party
that it must depend for success
and not upon the individual whom
it dominates for office. The cor
rect principles having been declar-
ed a good man with a good record
should be able to carry the entire
strength of the party. If the Chi
cago convention formulates sound
platform, o ne thatmeans what 1t
says and says what it means, with
out the possibility of misconstruc-
ton, and dominates a popular and
available man it certainly does seem
asIit,saugh it should be entirely sue
cessful If = daily becoming more
apparent that the kGPt!o1lcan nom
inee is weak man with suGaa-ian
unsavory record that many of the
best and most respectable newspa-
pers that have heretofore been Re-
publican in politics decline in the
most positive terms to support
him. The Democrats have never,
since the Republicans have been
in power, had such a splendid op-
portunity of winning a signal vic
tory. The Democrats have a clear
majority of the popular vote and
popular sentiment is strongly in
favor of a sweeping change In the
government. The corruption that
has existed for the past twenty
years is unparalleled in history,
and the people know it. Never in
the history of the country was
sound judgment and wise counsels
more needed than at present. The
coming National convention has
the success of the party in IFS
hands, and as it will be represen-
tative body its wisdom may be
trusted, although former conven-
tons have made serious errors.
So far as the BANNER is concerned
it has no special favorite to urge,
it wants q man nominated who can
win; there is an abundance of
splendid material from which to
choose a candidate.

JOHN KELLY.

For some years the name Of
John Kelly has figured extensive
ly in the newspapers of the coun'
try at large and of New York city
in particular. John Kelly is a
politician and is the acknowledged
leader of Tammany. He is an
Irishman of the same order as
Dennis Kearney, of Sand Lot
fame, but is much smarter man.
Kearney has been retired to pri-
vate life and may now be very
respectable drayman in San Fran
cisco. The countenance of John
Kelly has been made familiar to
the people. of the United States by
Keppler, Mast and other articles,
through the illustrated papers, and
we respectfully beg leave to ask if
he is not beautiful specimen of
humanity to carry the destihies of
the Democratic party in his treu-
sers pocket?
1t appears from Washington
special to the Houston Post that
after a season of delay and reflec-
ton Mr.. John Kelly comes out
fat footed against Cleveland, and
that his organ, the New York Star,
gives four reasons why Governor
Cleveland should not head the
Democratic ticket. he is accused
of winning popularity among the
Republicans and losing it among
his own party. The New York
Sun, a paper which has already
had three or four candidates for
president before the people and
failed in every attempt to create
any boom, backs up the Star by
saying that it is a great mistake
for any one to believe Cleveland is
man who can surely carry New
York State. 1t may be that Kelly
and his strikers want a bari or
two rolled into their camp. The
same special says that as Cleye-
land stock defines Bayard stock
advances, and it may yet be that
Bayard and not Cleveland will de-
velop the greatest strength when
the convention meets in Chicago.
A very few days make wonderful
changes in political affairs, espe-
cially Just on the eve of so impor-
tant gathering as a Democratic
National convention.

WHO WIZ he BEE

At this particular time the most
interesting question among Demo-
crats, and Republicans, too, for
that matter, is, who will be the
Democratic nominee for president;
the interest is mutual. 1t is gen.
orally believed that if tho Demo-
Gratis nominate the right man he
can be elected, and if elected he
will certainly DO seated. There is
a great diversity of opinion as to
who will be tho coming man.
Democratic papers in Texas have
their favorites, one paper booms
Flower, of New York. The Aus
tin Statesman thinks that Bayard
is tho man, while others favor
Thurman, of Ohio, and among in
dIviduals Mcdonald, of1ndiana, is
not without friends. 1t would
seem that the Saratoga convention
is divided between Flower and
Cleveland, but that the latter ap-
pears to be in the lead. 1t may be
regarded as almost certainty that
if the New York delegation agrees
to support Cleveland that he will
be nominated. The general feel
ing among the Democrats seems to
be, that the most available man
should be put forward. While the
party is one of principles and not
men, the individual nominated can
give great strength to the ticket,
or he can weaken it in cores
ponding degree. At this time
Cleveland is seemingly the strong
est man in the party-it being con-
ceded that Tilden is out of the
race. A great many Democrats
will vote for the nominee, no mat
ter who he is, but there arc also
great many who will not vote for
a nominee in whom they have no
confidence. A large number of as
true Democrats as there are in the
land repudiated the nomination OF
Greedy and utterly refused to vote
for him, some even going so far as
to say that they would rather vote
for Grant than Greeley. Having
had experience the party will
probably hardly make the mistake
of nominating man who cannot
be relied upon to carry the full
strength of the party. So far all
interest has conferred on the head
of the ticket and no attention
seems to have been given to the
second place, though occasionally
Hancock, of Texas, has been men,
toned. The second place is mat
ter of secondary consideration and
the convention may be trusted to
mako a good. selection. It may
also be put down as certainty
that the abuse of Blaine and his
record will hardly bring success to
the Democrats. We must have a
man with an irreproachable recor
and a platform of principles tina
will win with the masses.

rs TT BULLDozZNG.

Several days age the BANNER
stated that the Fort Worth Gazette
ssthreatens that, If the Democracy
does not adopt frec-grass plat
form at the Houston convention,
Wash Jones will come out as a
free-grass candidate for governor"
The Gazette replies by saying that
1t has threatened nothing of the
kind, and that the warning of a
newspaper whose Democracy is as
unquestioned as that of any paper
in Texas should be termed a
l'throat," is but another indication
of the intolerance and annoyance
that characterizes the lease advo-
Gates. 1t continues-the lease law
is not Democratic principle
not an article of falkland those
who oppose it do not propose to
be bulldozed by men who favor it.
The Gazette says as Democratic
journal, it simply warned its par
fy. We are at a loss to understand
whore the bulldozing comes in.
The lease system was adopted by a
Democratic legislature and we be-
lieVe that it has the endorsement
of a majority of the people of Tex
as irrespective of politics. The
Gazette fayors the majority rule,
and ifthe majority decides that the
lease system must stand, what will
it do then? For simply advocat-
ing what the BANNER believes to be
the sentiment of a majority, not
only of its party, but of the people
it, and the other anti-free-grass
papers-organs, the Gazette is
pleased to term them-..is charg-
ed with attempting to bulldoze
those who entertain a contrary
opinion. The grazing lands ofthe
state are common property, the
citizens of the agricultural dis
trlcts, as individuals, have as
much interest in those lands as
fbo stoekman who wishes. &c &c Craze
his thousands of cattle on the
thousands of grass covered hills.
For simply advocated the rights
of the majority, the free-grass Or
gan charges intolerance and AFRO
gance to us this looks very much
like bulldozing. Would 1t not be
much better to discuss this matter
calmly and cody in the shade of
This hot weather than to lose our
4empers and become unduly hot
and. excited over a question of
general, more than individual inter-
est. Majorities have rights that
minorities are bound to respect,
and so far as the BANNER is con-
-cerned it will, if the majority de-
eides in favor of free-grass, very
eheortully acquiesce.. Will the Ga
zette do the same thing, or is it
pledged to tree-grsss and a family
row in the Democratic household
in Texas? The Gazette says: "The
Houston convention must listen
patiently to the voice OF that sec
lion which contributes more than
any other to the Democratic ma
jority in the state" We think so
too, but we are not yet convinced
that that section and majority is
welded to free-grass. N

RHINE.

The Blaine organs continue to
repeat that their candidate was
fairly nominated; that majority
of the delegates to the convention
was Enthusiastically in favor of him;
and that he is as Enthusiastically the
choice of the party. All this is
true, but it doesn't help the matter;
it only makes it worse. The
Springfield Mass, Republican says:
t'The convention wanted Blaine,
the party wanted Blaine. Now
that being the case, a good many
honorable men find themselves in
a party that they cannot train
themselves with. They find them
selves in a party which wilfully
closes its eyes to gross defects of
public character and impudently
asks the country to accept the
corrupt, the snowy and the doubt
full as some degrees moro brilliant
and deserving of honor than the
man who joins ability and integri-
ty. That is why the Independents
are perfectly clear and decided in
their conclusion that they cannot
abide their late party associates in
the support of these candidates"
1t may be added that the Spring
4
field Republican is one of the most
genteel as well as most con-
servated journals belonging to the
Republican party, and its utter
ances may be taken as indicating
the feelings and sentiments of the
best Republicans in the New Eng
land States; but it Is also said that
Blaine is man possessing what is
called great personal magnetism
and that in due time he will over
come all opposition to him and
that every member of the party
will be induced to vote for him,
even against their honest eonvic-
tions. How far Blaine's personal
influence will extend, of course is
matter which the future alone
can determine. The president or
the candidates for president In
a country with such an extended
territory as ours can only be
known personally to comparative
ly very few voters, few thousand
only out of many millions. The
press, however, makes men known
throughout the world and all who
can read know the candidates and
their history. Of the twenty-one
presidents of the United States not
one was ever called a "magnetic"
person. Three or four of them
were pre-eminent in the world as
soldiers and statesman, but not one
ever had imputed to him the per-
sonal magnetism attributed to Mr..
Blaine,
