THE CONVENTION AND THE CAN
DtpATE.

The selection Of the Hon. Joseph r. Bod
well of Hallowell as the Republican candi-
date for governor will give great satisfaction
to Republicans Ill over the State. He was
the choice of no one section, of no one local
ity Aroostook and Kennebec, York and
Westinghouse North, South, East and
West-were all enthusiastic in his support.
He did net seek the nomination. The
Republicans sought him out and compelled
him to be their candidate because they re-
cognized in him a man peculiarly fitted to be-
come their standard bearer, and one who in
the executive chair would reflect honor upon
his State and upon the party which put
him there. The minority of Republicans
who preferred another freely admitted his
distinguished ability and his conspicuous
services to his State and the heartiness with
which they endorsed the motion to make his
nomination unanimous shows that he will
receive as cordial and sincere support from
them as would their first choice.
The convention was one of the largest and
most enthusiastic in the history of the Re-
publican party 1t met in the full conviction
that the candidate it named was destined to
be the next governor of Maine, a conviction
the correctness of which even oursfriends
the enemy do not seriously deny. Ii its
action was anticipated it was simply because
the Republicans at the primaries had pointed
out the way and because it was known that
the convention, as in duty-bound, would fol-
low in it, Substantial harmony prevailed
throughout the proceedings. The merits of
the two candidates were presented with
warmth, but when the ballot showed on
which side was the great majority of the con-
yention there was hearty concurrence in the
result.
The platform is long, but it could not be
much shortened and cover the ground. Its
keynote is protection to the American work
mgman against the under-paid labor of for
eign countries 1t pledges the Republican
party to resist with all its power the attempts
of the Democratic free-tradeTs to open our
markets to foreigners on the same terms
that our own people enjoy. Demagogism
on the labor question, promises impossible
of fulillment made only to catch votes, are
avoided, but the party is pledged to use its
best endeavors for a just settlement Of the
labor question, settlement which shall be
equitable alike to the capitalist and to the
laborer Its specific promises on this sub
ject all look to alternating the burdens and
improving the condition of the working man.
But the fact that heparty has been true to his
interest in the past is the best assurance that
it will be true to his interest in the future
The lively interest which the Republican
party has always felt in the cause of temper
ance, and the conviction that in prohibition
lies tie surest means for the suppression Of
the dram shop and the crime and wretched-
ness which spring therefrom, are reaffirmed
With such a platform and such candidate
the campaign is opened under the most favor
able auspices. Victory is within our grasp.
1t can be lost only by our own negligence.

Now that the general elections are at hand
~-in England those who expect to contest seats
are beginning to count the cost. The laws
against bribery have made campaigns of late
years much less expensive, but q man must
be rich himself or have rich friends to think
of standing for Parliament. When Mr..
Morley went down to his constituents for
reelection after he had accepted place in
Mr. Gladstones cabinet his expenses were
over three thousand dollars. His opponents
expenses were still more. The Irish men,
beers, who are many of them poor men, could
not stand the cost were it not for the aid
sent from loyal Irshmen in America and the
colonies.
In the last days of the war, when the In
ion armies, watched over by the faithful Wig
lance of Edwin NJ. Stanton, were overcom-
ing the troops of the Confederacy, and among
them the particular legions commanded by
General Joseph Wheeler, OF Alabama, it was
generally supposed that Wheeler's influence,
In loyal councils at least, was gone. That
he should ever be able to assail the reputa-
ton of Secretary Stanton from the halls of
Congress would have been an idea too fanci-
full to find Judgement even in the head of an
time Mr.. Wheeler has got seat in Congress
together with meny of his companions in
arms. That most of them have come back in
good faith may be true, but Mr. Wheel
Ell is not one Of them. By taking adj
vantage of night session of the
House, which had been devoted to the
consideration Of pension bills, Mr.. Wheeler
gained an opportunity to have printed in the
Congressional Record an attack upon Secre-
tary Stanton which occupies twenty-three
columns. It assails him as man lukewarm
in his patriotism, even as eonspirator
against the Union. Secretary Stanton's
place in history will not be affected in the
least by any attacks which Mr.. Wheeler can
make; but it will be disgrace for such
speech to go down to the future on the rec
ords of Congress. Mr.. Kelley's motion to
have the speech expunged from the records
of the House has gone to the committee on
rules. The country will await with interest
the action of that committee and of the
House itself.

A HEAVY LAND SALE.

IT is understood that Messrs. l.. Il.
Griffith and j. II. Muckeloon, of Terrell,
who are in the city, have purchased tract
of land comprising about 1000 acres
in this county, paying therefor the
handsome sum of $4,000. The trade has
been on hand for some sometime and has
only been consummated within the last day
or two. There are yet several thousand
acres of land belonging to the same prop
erty, to which the eyes of investors have
been turned and it is probable that before
many days The STATESMAN will record an
other sale of large interests. The trans
fer of the land sold yesterday, is under
stood to mean that large tract, hereto
fore in litigation, will be cut up into
small farms and sold out to actual settlers.
If this is true, Travis county will be de-
cidedly the winner by the transaction.

JUDGE GRESHAM.
THE WORLDS COMM ENTs ON HIS
DECISION.


New YORK, December 9.The World says;
"Judge Greshams decision, removing Solon
Humphreys from the receiverehip of the Wabash
railroad, was received with acclaim by members Of
large and growing anti i-Gould party In Wall
street. IL was said Judge Gresham was the fret
jndge to take decided stand against jay Gould In
the case involving part Of the millionaire's rail-
road system. Judge Gresham Is the man for
whom the boom as republican presidential
candidate was started In 1888. Yesterday the
boom was started again,
Henry Cews stood In front Of a room full Of
operators yesterday and said: 81 predict Judge
Gresham will be the next republican nominee for
president lie is a man on whom all factions can
unite and this decision will not hurt him In the
least The management of the Wabash railroad
has been shameful, and the judges decision strikes
at the very root OF the evil
Representatives of the Wabash purchasing com
mttee said there had been no discussion as yet in
regard 10 Greshams decision, or as 10 what should
now be done. The committee has deposited with
IT, on approval Of its plans, about Sl0b00,0UO OF
total of S27, ,0OO 00D Of Wabash stock The holders
of about S30oO00 Of Wabash securities were repres
ented In Chicago, are against purchasing the com
mitteee plans O,her security holders do NOT
seem TO have taken any side In the controversy
but are waiting few developments. Whether the
Wabash committee will buy OF compromise Will
the dissatisfied holders is not determined, but
many believe the reorganization plans will gt
through and they base their belief on tho eupposi
tion that the Gould interests is too strong To bt
baked by such thing as decision by Gresham.

ELL NYE

Chicago Newe.
With sincere regret we hear Of the fall
ing health OF Mr.. Bill Nye, the popular
hunorist. Mr.. Nye had serious illness.
three years ago while he was still resi-
dent of Wyoming; IL was in the hope that
change OF climate would restore him 70
his old-time vigor that he removed 70
Wisconsin. The change did seem 10 bon
eft him for awhile; perhaps IL he had re-
mained in the quiet OF his pretty Hudson
home our bright and loyable friend might
now be as robust and US hearty as over he
was. But Bill Nye is busy man and q
conscientious man; he has deemed II TO
be his duty to improve every opportunity
to provide for his family and for himself
against the rainy 4ays-and there have
been many rainy days in Bill Nye's life
who among the rest of us poor devils does
not understand II ALI SO Bill Nye has
worked hard and patiently many times
when he has been i'll of body and sick OF
heart; yet out of his pain there has come
much good, as viii testify all OF Us who
have been so thoroughly warmed by bic
delicious humOr. Within the last year he
has been almost constantly engaged y
lecturing, and this employment has taken
him into all parts of the country, In every
kind of weather, necessitating exposure
and all those irregularities which surely
i'm pair the health. The result seems 10
be that the genial humorist's physical
condition is quite as alarming as II was
three years ago, when he came home from
the far west with the poisons OF malaria
IN his veins. Mr.. Nye tells US that unless
some change for the better sets in very
soon, he will be compelled TO abandon all
work for an indefinite period.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.
AN. ESTIMATE BY A GALVESTON
A FIRM.


& FIRM.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, December San important re.
mort on the Texas cotton output for the present
season was to-day completed by the well-Known
house of Kaufman d. Runge, of this city. The
report is based ON 920 replies received during the
past twelve days from all cotton producing coun-
ties in the state, and confirms the previous statis
tiss of this house. Their inquiries to correspond
ents did not cover the acreage, but aimed rather TO
ascertain the out turn by actual count OF bales al
ready gnned, and estimates on that portion OF the
crop being gathered
The report shows that 92 per cent of the crop
has been picked to date, and 26 per cent has been
moved from the original points of production
The average yield per acre is given at i,loO Oh
a bale, which per centage agrees with the OctoOer
reports of the agricultural bureau, but is tour and
quarter points below the figures OF the national
Texas at ,49O,O32 bales, as against the October
bureau report which placed the yield at 1,3o7, ,s9;
while Kaufman a. Runge's estimate. as based on
| present reports, is $4,000 bales.
| Their report states that the picking season has
again been favorable, leaving op December tonly
| eight per cent in the field
| In southwestern Texas the August storm has
| seriously interfared and has caused heavy loss
| from what would have been otherwise fair yield
| The report shows a reduction OF 32 per cent In
! this section as compared with the previous crop ,
OF the top crop the report says out small
| percentage has matured The worms nave de-
vastated the lower part OF the state, and the late
frosts preclude all prospects for any further yield
The output by sections, as compared with las
| wears Weld, is as follows:
