The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-01-28

big vote for John D. Mccall
Cleburne Chronicle.
w. ]. Swain seems TO be very generally
endorsed by the people and press for the
newt Governor of Texas. The papers
throughout the state that are not laVor
able to him are few in number compared
with those for him. Swan, IN MS posi-
ton of comptroller, has given the people
of Texas abundant evidence of his good
SENSE and craftsmanship. He is always
with the people on all important ques-
tions where the interest of the TAX
naver is involved, and if he is not re-
warded by being made the next governor
of Texas the Chronicle is a poor prog
nosticator of the indications pointing
that way. The Chronicle will give Its
support to the best man, and at present
it believes that Swain is the best man IN
all Texas for the next governor.

Who is it that is doing the advertising,
Hepatozone, or Swain? Terrell ought to
catch the cue. and pool issues with Par
sons Purgative Pills. The cost of adj
vertising would be reduced.

What a fiutter there would be among
the small fry if Throckmorton Reagan or
Culberson were to enter the gubernatorial
lists. The political waters are agitated
now, but the entrance of either of these
whales would make the waves roll noun
tain high and run the minnows to the
shore.

The old Alcade cannot be blamed if
some busybody persists in running him
for the United States senate. He devotes
his time to his duties Of professor of law
in the state university, gets fairly paid
for his services, and is probably content
to remain as he is. This, however, does
not preclude the idea of running him for
the senate.

Col L. L. Johnson, of Shelby county, is
the man who would make most satisfac

good material for any position in the

Mason News.
In conversation a few days ago with a
prominent politician of the state relative
to the fitness of the different men spoken
of for governor, he remarked that the
speeches made by Major j. T. Bracken-
ridge during the presidential canvass,
were the ablest and most finished ad-
dresses of the campaign. Quite COM
pliment coming from the source it did.
He also entertains the belief that the
major will be the next governor of THE
state.
Comanche Chief
The Chief was the first paper to nom
mate" John D. Mccall for comptroller,
and it is gratifying to see his name
handed aroHnd in such supplementary
manner. He is the present chief clerk in
that Office and while he is a democrat of
the purest ray, nobody ever thought of
the quiet, unassuming and gentlemanly
Mccall as a politician. He has served in
that office for over eight years and is the
best and most thoroughly qualified man
in the state for that Office. Mccall should
be nominated at the next state convention
without the slightest opposition
Colorado Graphic
Our candidate for governor is-the
democratic nominee. The two leading
candidates are Swain and Ross. We are
not stuck on Ross and we are not going
to injure our voices by yelling Swain,
though we would support either if nomi--
mated We belong to the kid democracy,
and we therefore turn instinctively to our
own Barney. If Barney gets in as dark
horse, we will whoop-er-up and don't YOU
forget it

Judge Terrell, as governor would be a
credit to the state. He has the culture,
the natural ability and long experience
that make him eminently qualified for
that high position. What Texas needs is
the statesmen of the Hancock, Shepherd
and Throckmorton style. They represent
the growing sentiment, the young democ-
racy and new democracy. They belong
to that progressive element of future age.

Waco Examiner
This is what the San Angelo Enterprise
says about it, and the Laredo Times en-
dorses the statement also:
Sui Ross will carry every county in
Ihrockmorton's district and will heat
Swain in every congressional district ex-
cept Culbertson's, and he will have three
tourths of the convention on the first hal
lot This is neither prediction or a
threat, but an item of news gathered from
trustworthy sources.

What ridiculous position The Dallas
News places Judge Terrell in, when if nuts
him astride of a Mule" and has him
riding over Texas looking for a seat in
the United States senate. There is nouse
talking; the fiat has gone forth that
Maxey is to be his own successor.

one or two more such speeches as the
one on the silver question and the one ON
pensions will give Congressman REAGAN
senatorial boom in Texas that will alarm
the nome aspirants. Had Mr.. REAGAN
allowed his name used in the guberna-
torlal canvass, his nomination would have
been mighty nigh unanimous.

The Only show for Terrell to 90 to tbe
senate Is for the people to have a saw in
the matter In these latter days. however
tne people have very little to do with the
erection OF senators, and if the next legis-
iature is like the last. it will MOI -
