The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-05-13

Whether Col. Swain is nominated or not,
the nominee will be in favor of the lease
system. That is settled fact.
The Standard
We need young active business man
for our comptroller. 1t would be dan
gerCus position for an old man who has
spent his life as county politician, and
never had any experience as an account
ant. He would get things mixed in that
office Just as sure as fate. In the legisla-
tive hall, Uncle Bill knows his duties. In
the comptroller's Office, he would be at sea
without a rudder.

John D. Mccall is going to develope
surprising strength in his candidacy for
the COMPREHENSIVE, and his opponents
will soon learn that they have jumped
man who has entered the race to fight for
success to the bitter end. Mr.. Mccall is
honest, capable and perfectly conversant
with all the duties of the responsible pos
ition to which he aspires, and we know of
no sound reason why he should be denied
the promotion he seeks at the hands of
the democratic party of Texas.

Terrell voted for the general incorpora-
ton act which permitted land, cattle and
all manner of corporations and gave them
! favorable franchises. He voted for the
sale of the public domain at fifty cents
and dollar per acre, in unlimited guam
titles to these corporations. He voted
for three million acres grant to the Capt.
tai syndicate and much other monopoly
| legislation. The Austin Statesman, the
| News and the Examiner, in every issue
sound the praise of Terrill. Gibbs is on
record against all kinds of entrenchment
of federal power on state rights. The
Statesmen, the News, and the Examiner,
takes every occasion to put it into Gibbs.
The blind man could, and the most of the
people will see the milk in the coconut.

From all we can gather from the pa
pers, John d. Mccall, if he don't get there
will show up considerable strength for
comptroller. His election to that posi-
ton will prove great benefit to Texas.
Liberty Hill Observer
A. W. Terrell must go to the senate

fact, and good thing for the people. He
is supported by forths of the Texas
news papers, and is undoubtabe the choice
of the public Although politics are not
our forte, Eand we don't dabble i'll them
much, when we do, we purpose to act
through principle, and support good,
honest men, and zen that are capacita-
ted, in every sense, to fill position. Such
a man is A. w. Terrell, and he's Just bound
to come out winner in the end.
Lockhalt Register
Mr.. j. D. Mccall, chief clerk of the
comptrollers Office, is spoken of very fav-
o:ably for the Office of comptroller. He
has been in that department for fifteen
years, and it is said that he will make as
good, if not better, comptroller than any
man in Texas. As he comes thus recon-
mended, we are for him for this office.
Able and efficient men are the ones the
Register is in favor of.
The Cleburne Telegram.
The Dallas Herald is trying the effect
of ridicule on A. w. Terrell. 1t won't do
gentlemen. The people of Texas have
taken the rings out of their noses by
which they have been led by party hacks.
They will act and think for themselves in
the future.

Col. Swain has been faithful as comp
troller, and the people are going to make
