candidates should be treated like super
fluous puppies, have rocks tied to their
necks, and be pitched into the river-to

them to keep the sun from baking their

The republicans OF this city will en-
Joy rich treat tonight in listening to
DIR. Cochran, candidate for governor on
the republican state ticket. The demo-
Gratis Of the county who seldom hear any
pure unadulterated republican speeches
will find this a first-clais opportunity
for hearing what may be said upon the
other side OF the political question. The
DR.. has just made the tour of Northern
Texas and has made such an impression
upon the minds Of the people wherever
he has spoken that the state democratic
executive committee have deemed it
necessary to start Senator Coke on his
track, to try and patch up the broken
walls Of the democratic citadel in which
the republican candidate has made
alarming breaches. The DIR. is fluent,
easy speaker, has a happy manner OF
delivering himself, and has made thou
sands OF votes for his party in those sec
tions Of the state where he has already
discussed and presented the issues Of the
day. Democrats may rest assured that
they will receive fair, courteous treat
ment at the hands of the republican
leader who addresses them tonight.
Republicans will find his trumpet giving
no uncertain sound, and while of course
the DR.. will have little or nothing to say
about the mixed pickles of our county
mugwumpry, he will be found to speak
the words of straight out republicanism
with truth and soberness.

The New York Times shows healthy
symptoms Of having had enough OF
mugwumpery and will return to the re-
publican fold before long. judging from
its action on the nomination Of ROOse-
welt for mayor. The Times has this to
say: "rhe united democratic vote In
this city Outnumbers by some $1,000 the
full republican vote, but 1t ia in every
way desirable that the republican party
with candidate OF ideal excellence
should put forth it's fullest strength this
fall" The Times is evidently preparing
for an early return TO the republican fold
from which it went out under the seduc
lions and Establishments OF the Cleye-
land cry of ring and reform. 1t Is to be
hoped that the example OF the Times
will be catching and some Texas jour
nails who are advocating mixed pickles,
return to their allegiance.
SUDDEN conversion from extreme
wickedness to upper crust piety is gen.
orally followed by some act of puritan
ism TO cinch the change. Baltimore,
the home of the original plug ugly" is
a case in point. Baltimore, the bloody
spot in which the shot gun of the as
sasin was first brought into play during
the late REBELLION, has been converted.
Sunday is made n day OF fasting and
prayer and schenectady hypocrisy.
Nothing sold on Sunday but milk and
ice. No newspapers sold at the stands,
none on the streets; no paregoric for
crying babies; no castor oil for suffering
adult; no BARRIERS razOrs for stubby
boards; no baths for dirty humans, ex-
cept the kitchen wash-tub. Baltimore
is too pious by half. A cross between
this puritanism and her ancient plug
uglyism would be healthy medium,
fully as acceptable to heaven and GER
tainly more cOngenial to earth.
