DROWNING THE BOSS,
There is really no leader in the house
of Representatives this session. Brown
ing, OF Wheeler, approaches as near 10
fit as any one. He is very popular,
makes good presiding officer, and is
often mentioned as the coming speaker
if he is again returned, but he says he
greatly prefers to be on the floor, aud he
means IL.
ABLE YOUNG MEN.
Crane, dickinson, and Lusk, of Fan
min, are looked upon as able young men
and nave good influence IN tho house.
Pendleton, OF Tarraut, is another man
who always gets careful attention when
ON the floor.
QUIET, BUT WORKERS.
DR.. Blount, OF Van Iant, and Mr..
Bishop, the hoater from Denton and
Collin, axe quiet men, but are, two of the
| best WORKERS. III The nineteenth.
looked FOR THE SENATE.
Travis Henderson, of Lamar, will
probably NcCupy seat in the next state
senate. He is being mentioned already
| a., : L. will ha burt n
beat. In feet, ii is doubtful if no has an
opponent.
The press is not dealing justly with
the young men of the senate. They
are, in fact. as digniHed q set of gentle
men as one would see anywhere. The
trouble out OF which all this discussion
grew came from the oldest and most
experienced members of the senate.
THE FREE CRASHES CONFUSED.
AUSTIN, March 90 Special The
action of the senate this morning has
thrown the free grass fellows into dire
confusion, and they are caucusing to-
night with view, it is said, OF prepar-
| ing free grass ammunition to b9 used to
morrow. They have an able champion
in Temple Houston and he will not miss
the opportunity to make the land bill rs
odiouS as possible.
rRIrToN HALL ROBINSON, ESQ, OF JACK
COUNTY.
Mr.. Robinson, OF Jack, was made the
happy father of a bouncing boy yester-
day, and has named him Britton Hal,
after Col. James III. Britton, state en-
gineer, and w. l.. Hall, of the HERALD.
The father is quite salubrious to-day,
and doing as well as possible uuder the
circumstances.
PERSONAL.
Senators Kleberg and Prescott re-
turned to. day.
ADJOURNMENT UNCERTAIN.
The house resolution to adjourn on the
| 3lst instant, was special order in the
senate tor to-day, but was passed over,
as the general opinion is that it is i'm
possible to complete business by that
time. The land bill, appropriations and
penitentiaries are the important fea-
lures yet to be disposed of.
| SPEAKER FOSTER PLACED RIGHT.
| THE HERALD is not quite right as to
| Speaker Fosters position on the Benev-
| oient Insurance association. He wants
them to pay taxes and make reports ct
stated times of deaths, assessments, pol
icies paid, dues received, and how dis
| bursed, and is willing that they should
do this without money deposit, as is
required of other insurance companies.
AUSTIN, March 21.- Special. The
senate killed house bill permitting
married women to dispose of their sep
arate property, and, in the language of
the favorable report OF the committee,
the state will continue to class them
with criminals and lunatics, unable to
legally manage their own affairs.
THE LAND BILL,
as it goes back to the house, Is badly
disngured and has many amendments
that will require its going before COM
mittee of free conference.
THE SIX COUNTIES BILL.
- tot Grnnr,
county into six counties, will pass the
senate, it is believed.
MIR SWANS CANDIDACY.
1t is fact that Comptroller Swain
will be a candidate for governor at the
ensuing election. i state this authori-
tatively. He has been so strongly
urged by so many friends in every por-
ion of the state to allow them the use
of his name for the chief magistracy. |
and has been so pressed of late by lead |
ing men of all sections to give his an |
swer at once, that they might not make |
any alliances detrimental to his inter-
ests, that he has thus been forced to de-
clare himself decidedly, SO early
Lieutenant-GovernorG Gibbs, as l learn,
has consulted him on the question that
he might know pOsiti ely, az he did not
desire and would not antagonize him |
or any other north Texas man of
greater age and experience than him
self in the race, were he candidate, by
being a candidate himself. These are
the reasons which have impeiled him
at this early date to announce his candi.
dacy, and as the HERALD has had
something to say OH the subject, it is
but Just to Col. Swain that this state
ment of facts be made.
