SHERMAN, July Especial. The
friends of Judge Hare are amused at
the efforts that are being made to run
him for governor. 1t is we'll known
that Judge Hare has for many years
made national affairs his study and
that Senator w. o. Davis has devoted
his study 10 State matters to the ok
clusion OF national; yet w. o. Davis,
of Cooke, is seriously mentioned to
succeed Throckmorton, tor Congress,
when he would DO better fitted for
governor, and Silas Hare is being
made candidate for governor when
he is so eminently fitted for
Congress-. This attempt OF would
be slate makers to make up 81

Wis for Congress, when it is so well
known that were the slate reversed

for Congress-they would each be in a

MARLIN, July 7. Especially - The
citizens Of this quiet city have been in
the habit of waking up on the Fourth
Of July and seeing the stars and

to the broad breeze OF Heaven, in COM
memoration of republican rule in

prise, then, OF the people, when on
the 18th day OF July, 1885,
the flag of their country was not
seen floating over the post office, but
WAS furled aud laid away like the
conquered Banner" Is it that in this
Democratic government Republican
postmaster will not do reverence to a
Democratic administration, or has
patriotism ooZed away as his chances
for succeeding himself have grown
smaller? BE it as it may, the people
feel sad over such neglect, when they

when a Democrat was occupying the

at Washington they hoped to see the

not so. When tho 4th day OF July, 1886,
