THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

"spring." sang the poet, budding Spring"
Alas the boughs were bare;
He was himself the one green thing,
For Ice lay everywhere.
HAL, Spring, with breezes soft and sweet"
The Spring returned his hail
There came a shower OF snow and sleet
Upon wintry gale.
"Sing. merry birds. In bush and tree"
lie read the almanac
The birds were wiser far than he,
And did not hurry back.
"spring, gentle"- here he ceased TO sing.
Let the sad truth be told
The while he sang of balmy Spring,
He caught an awful cold.

A LITERARY COUP D'ETAT.

Just published in style worthy Of this

in the market that at all compares with
this or rivals it: is sdvertised by the
publisher at $500 per volume. Mr..
Aldsn's price when sold in sets of nine
volumes, is little less than $1.O per
volume. He now offers this single speci
men volume until September l. 1885, for
the price Gf it can be called price, of
80 cents, by mail. postage paid.
IT you want to complete your set after

work, embracing those who knew him as

(the r. o. will have more signers to his
petition than the editor Of the TRAN
SCRIPT did. when Dunnell turned out q
poor widow. and gave the position to
him. Register.
Why does H. o. Basford refer to tile
poor widow" business now in connection
with Mr.. Dunnell's appointment of Post
master years ago7
We will answer. 1t is for the purpose
and only purpose-of prejudicing the
people against Mr.. DunneIl In his present
canvass for congress.
Mr.. Basford knows that the charge is
unjust ard dishonorable. because it is VIZ.
tually untrue.
Now, we will give the facts. aud If they
reflect upon the alleged postmaster editor
of the Register. we are not to blame.
Mrs. Smith was never removed from
the post-off1ce because she never was
postmistress to be removed. After the
death of her husband, she simply went
into the postofficc as assistant, and took
charge Of the Office temporarily, until the
vacancy in the office was filed.
The candidates for that vacancy were
the widow herself, Oscar Ayers. present
candidate for Senator. G. II. Davidson.
and last, but not least. II. O. Basford
Nobody ever heard of his circulating q
petition for the place, or having single
prominent Republican supporter in Aus
tin. But he had the audacity to ask for
the place Just the same" in opposition
to this "poor widow" and her supporters.
If Dunnell had appointed him postmas-
ter instead of Davidson, we should have
heard nothing of this poor widsw" talk.
Yes, it is fact, that Mr.. Basford suggest
ed himself to Mr.. Dunnell as a "cempro-
mise candidate! !"
1t seems that Mr. Basford was willing
to take the post-off1cc away from this
poor widow" Mrs. Smith. Now, what
other man than Fl. o. Basford. on the
face of Gods green earth, would have
the cheek and ingratitude, under like
circumstances, to criticize Mr.. Dunnell
for doing an action. which Basford HIM.
self asked Dunnell to do!
