MaIi Stage Lost-sonciting Aid for the
Farmers.
Special to the Gazette.
VERNON, Tx, July 3l.-Pease river is
up and is still rising very fast. 1t is
higher than it has been for years. The
stage and mail from Clarendon tonight
in attempting TO cross sank into the
river and it is thought that two of the
horses are drowned. Assistance was
sent from this place as quickly as the
word was received There were no
passengers on board.
The Farmers alliance of Wilbarger
county are soliciting and from the citizens
of Vernon and counties that have been
blessed with bountiful harvest for the
purpose of securing seed-wheat for this
falls sowing. So far they have the en-
couragement OF all. 1t is to be hoped
that the eastern counties where good
CROPS have been made will respond lib
orally to the call. The majority of the
farmers in the county have not the means
to buy wheat for sowing this year, crops
of all kinds having, on account OF the
extended drought, been total failure.

ly hostile, and this spirit is shared
by their supporters. There can be no
trade or compromise between them. If
one Of them sees that he cannot get the
nomination he viii throw al Of his
influence against the other TO defeat
him. No such feeling exists toward
Beckham. He is well thought Of by the
othercandidates, and among the delegates
that are instructed for his opponents he
is sccond choice. IN the event Of dead
LOCK, when It becomes apparent that no
nomination can be made unless some Of
the delegates are released from lnstruc-
tlons, either wellborn or Gibbs will with
draw and give his support to Beckham In
order to defeat his rival and enemy.
Thus It seems pretty certain that Judge
Beckham holds the winning cards, and
affairs are being shaped to give him the
nomination. If either one of the three
men now before the people is TO be
selected, It will be him; and the people
are in no need Of dark horse.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

TIE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS,
The congressional contest in this dis
trict is getting In a pretty ilN. The three
candidates who will so before the Waxa-
hachie convention are Wellborn, Beck
ham and Gibbs, Wellborn has Hin county
instructed, with 1905 votes. Bosque's
1851 and Kaufman's 1921 are instructed
for Gibbs, and Tarrant will give Beckham
1880 and Ellis 1872, OF the popular vote,
as the contest now stands, Wellborn can
count on 92o5, Gibbs on 4798, and Beck
ham on s542. The district cast 25,9So
votes, and the candidate that gets ma
iority must have 1891 Of them.
Wellborn now lacks more than 5000 votes
of nomination, Gibbs is short 5000, and
Beckham little more than 1000, In this
situation Of affairs Dallas or Johnson
win decide the matter
In Dallas county the nsht is between
Wellborn and Gibbs. The present out
look is not favorable TO either of them
carrying that county, and divided dele.
cation will probably be the result, with a
majority In favor OF Gibbs. This will
still leave both Of those gentlemen. far in
the rear.
Johnson county instructed for Furman,
but his withdrawal of course releases the
delegates from any obligation TO vote for
him. They are free TO vote as they see
at, either by scattering, or by supporting
in solid body any candidate they may
agree upon. II they give their solid sup
port 10 Beekham he win have but few
short OF nomination. Should they
divide, It is impossible to say who Will
pront most, though 1t seems TO be ac-
cepted that they are not for wellborn.
In thIs condition of affairs the situa-
tion Is Intensely interesting. The feeling
between Wellborn and Gibbs is extreme

She Ia Tried for DisorderIy Conduct and

CHICAGO, ILL, July 3l.-Some six
weeks ago woman nearly seventy years
old went to Mrs. Whitaker's, at Grace
land, aud engaged board and lodging for
a few days while she was attending to
the erection Of a monument over rela-
tive buried there The next morning
Mrs, Whitaker missed 81 from her cash
box, aud accused her lodger of having
taken 1t. The old lady admitted the
theft and restored the money, but was
arrested.
On her trial she gave her name rs Mary
Gordon, and said she was the widow of
Gen. Gordon of the British army, and was
on her way from San Francisco to New
York, where she had relations, and was
going from that point to England. She
was tried for disorierly conduct and sent
TO the Bridewell on a S75 fine.
II seems she told the truth in regard to
herself, for yesterday her attorney re-
ceived a letter from her son.in law, Mr..
Wildwood Of New York, asking him TO In.
vestlgate the matter. The attorney went
to Lakeyiew, and after explaining matters
to the supervisor received from him an
order for her release. She was discharged
last night and will leave for the East to-

AN ANCIENT DOMINATION

The Austin Statesman has been very
fast friend Of Gov. Ireland, but events
are so shaping themselves that the States
man cannot forbear the following very
pungent criticism OF the governor
The developments for the last week or two
indicate quite clearly that Col. Swain Is correct
In saying, In the interview published This
morning, that the influence OF the administra.
ton is being cast against him in the campaign.
Col. Swain does not do 50 In the .otervicw. but
we can give the reason why the administrat
is working againet him, and why II Is boosting
Gen, Ross
The assertion was made at the beginning OF
the campaign, and we have every reason to be.
lieve II true, that there was bargain, "signed,
sealed and delivered" The Ross faction, in
consideration OF the admipistration helping TO
seat Ross In the governor s chair, were, an theiT
turn, TO help Ireland TO the United states sen
ate. This is the secret OF the part now being
played by the administration, and of the under
hand game being worked in almost every coun-
ty, where conventions are yet to meet, to cir.
cumvent and defeat Col. swain. We do not be-
lieye sucn unfair means, such unblushing in
trigue and astonishing chcanery, wi be In
dorsed by the people Of Texas,
That story Is not new. IL was asserted
with vehemence and every evidence OF
probability at the outstart Of the cam.
paign, and, though vigorously denied by
the gentlemen most prominently con.
nected with it, the impression produced
in the minds of the people IS in favor OF
its credibillty.
Such things are not so rare in political
management as to make this allegation OF
q bargain of questionable veracity. Ar
understanding between two candidates tc
extend mutual aid 10 each other IS moi
regarded as reputable practice, but
there are few men who reach high polit
ical station without II sorting to such al
liances, In fact the practice is one %
those vcnlal political Sins that ali profest
adherence Of, when done by somebody
else, and readily seize the opportunity K
profit by the same means
If Gen. Ross is to be our next governor
and Gov. Ireland our next senator, so lie
It be. But the people will think a grea
deal more of them II they reach the goal
of their respective ambitions relying OF
their own intrinsic merit, and not b,
trading and log-rolllng. And the peopl
will respect Mr.. Swain, though defeated
more than either Of them, II he remain
steadfast to principle and goes Gowl
rather than win success by betraylpg tn,
Confidence placed IN him.

with canes and fists on the pubIic

THE stock gamblers are making much
of the fact that the shares Of great cor
porations like the Union Pacific are held
in many hands. That particular company
has 28t3 women shareholders and 29S
guardians and trustees. The "dema-
goguen is therefore requested TO ego
slow" for fear he may do Injury to the
fatherless and unprotected AT the same
time 279 brokers figure as the holders of
(the controlling) SO per cent. of the

SCOTCH IT.

Six of the present grand jury Of the

sheriff as gentlemen by occupation"
This is the first entrance of English snob-
ocracy into our official records. II would
be well to indict the officer who did the
deed, for 1t is bad precedent. There
have never before been any "gentle-
men by occupation" In our country. The
title of "gentleman" was applicable to
any man who, by his nobility Of heart,
deserved it. A gentleman by occupa
ton" is Il pure loaier, and no gentleman
at all. A good citizen must be a retired
merchant, or bricklayer, or teacher, or be
scho!ar-he must have some deslgna-
ton beside gentleman by occupation"
The law should stamp all gentlemen by
occupation" as tramps, loafers and
idlers. The law is no respecter Of per.
sons, and our law differs essentially from
European legislation. This New YORK
idea cannot be scotched too soon.
