North Texas has several excellent
gentlemen in training upon the theory |
that the cat may jump in that direc-
ton, and there are stranger things
every day than that would
be-. Col. "Bill" Crawford has been at |
he surface for many years in Dallas,
and while never found pushing HIM
self in any way, at least never oflens-
lively, yet there has never been more
than three or four names ahead of
him for the nomination at any one
time. The editor of the EXAMINER
has known Col. Crawford for many
years, and knows him to be man of
the very highest order. Patriotic,
clean-handcI and able. Texans might
do many many far more foolish things
than to elect him. Anyhow, should
he get the nomination, the EXAMINER
would put all of its enthusiasm into
the fight for him, and it would prove
only labor of love for us. After Col.
Crawford there is Judge Brown of
Sherman, Silas Hare of Grayson, Sen
ator Maxey of Paris aud feter Smith
of Panthersville. These are all good
men and strong with the people, not
only of their own immediate section
but of the whole state as well. liea'
gan OF Palestine is also available tim
Der, and we have his announcement in
advance, that the governorship oil
Texas is one of his Hottest anbi
tions. There are some peopl,
in Texas who don't lik'
Reagan. He would indeed
be queer man il he had not enemies
and plenty of them. lie has bern u
the surface in state politics for man!
years. Even before the war he was
power in the state, and had won a MI
tional reputation. He is man o
convictions, and with the courage Il
urge them. But aside from all this
1t seems to us that he has claims upol
Texas OF no ordinary character. ii

A HUMILIATION AvERTED.


On the 9th of November, 1888, an
alleged election was held in Hazel
hurst, Copiah County, Miss. The
day previous meeting of Democrats
residing in the vicinity, was held,
over which G. r. Meade, chairman
ofthe Democratic Central Commit
tee, presided. At the meeting the
following resolution was adopted
and committee OF 100, with Chair
man Meade at its head, was appoint
ed to present it:
WHEREAS, 1t is thought that the
public interest will be subseryed by
Print Matthews absenting himself
from the polls OH election day; there
fore, be it
Resolued, That Print Matthews be
ordered to keep within his own en-
closures tomorrow.
Adopted by citizens of Copiah
County, this, the 9TH day of Noyem.
Der, 1888.
Print Matthews was Republican.
The offense by which he had put in
jeopardy the peace ofCopiah County
was that he had undertaken to Or
ganize the Republican party, which
is in majority in that neighbor-
hood. He saw fit to disregard the
warning given by his Democratic
neighbors, went to the polls to exer-
else his right as free American,
and as he attempted to deposit his
ballot, was shot down like a dog by
one Il. B. Wheeler, who had been
chosen by lot to murder Matthews if
he dared to vote.
A local account of the affair pub.
lished at the time says: "On the day
after the killing, while Matthews
was yet unburied, a mass meeting of
jolification was held at the Court
House, consisting strictly of Demo.
Gratis, some from every voting place
in the county in fact it represented
the Democratic party of Copiah
County. AT this meeting were pass
ed the notorious Copiah resolu-
tions," justifying the murder and
pledging themselves and their con-
stituents by regular Ku Klux oath
to defend and protect the murderer,
placing at stake their lives and for
tunes" OF this meeting the G. r.
Meade heretofore mentioned was
again chairman.
The pertinency of this recital of
events, which occurred sixteen
months ago, is shown by the fact that
this came g. r. Meade was appoint
ed by the Democratic Administration
post master at Hazelhurst, Miss. The
impression produced by his effort to
endorse political assassination is
evident in expression from Northern
papers published elsewhere. The |
