ONLY DEMOCRATS NEED APPLY.

William M. Brown, Esq, Of Austin,
desiring to fully inform himself concern
ing the statements made pro and con as
to the true blue democracy OF John ID.
Mccall, candidate for comptroller on
the democratic state ticket, has been
calling for the papers. The statement
made by the Evening Paper Of this city
some two weeks since to the effect that
Mccall was understood to be republi-
can and was so accepted while holding
a clerkship in the cOmptrOller's office in
1874, has called out this enquiry. Mr..
Browns letter is addressed to Edridge
Perry, an employe OF the COmptrOller's
office at the same time with Mccall.
Mr.. Perry says in his sworn statement
that "during the administration of eX-
Governor +. J. Davis, that he was EN-
ployed by A. Bledsoe in the office OF the
comptroller of public accounts, and that
John ID. Mccall was employed in the
same office, and continued in the same
Office until the difficulty between Coke
and Davis, when said Mccall, being in
strong sympathy with Coke, left the Of
lice and did not return, nor did he aid
o rassist the Davis administration, d.
rectly or indirectly. Attiant further
SAYS that the said John ID. Mccall en-
tered, remained, was recognized, and
retired from the comptroller's Office as a
full-fledged democrat, and that the
comptroller knew the proclivities Of the
Mccall family to be democratic. Afliant
further depOses, and says the charges
made by James Z. Newoomb are with
out foundation Of truth, but are con-
ceived and founded in malice and
prompted by parties governed by envy,
and who claim to be democrats, but are
really disorganiZers, and ought TO be
quietly retired from the party on long
proba tion."
DIR. W. c. Phillips, Comptroller Bile
does chief clerk, confirms this state
ment, and 1t would seem from such wit
nesses that -McCall's democracy was
duly accepted and recognized while he
was in the Office Of the republican comp
trOller Of the state. But why this en-
quiry at this date? There is no question
OF McCall's democracy since he left the
comptroller's office, and one wonders
how many years Of loyal democratic ser
vice are necessary to wipe out the stig-
ma Of having been republican. II
twelve years unquestioned fealty to the
democratic party do not constitute a
valid title to democratic privilege what
is the accepted Standard In the light OF
these questions, to-day, would il not be
we'll for all men in Texas who have ever
voted the republican ticket, or showed a
quill under republican officer, to pause
on the threshold Of their entrance into
the democratic lair and consider to how
many years ofpenance they are doomed
before they will be accepted as legiti-
mists. This inquisition into McCall's an
tecedent politics should be taken as q
warning by the thousands OF republi.
cans in Texas who are voting the demo.
cratic ticket because it is popular. The
moral Of the whole matter is this-Dem'
oorats always use, but never trust the
men who are suspected OF ever having
had republican learnings.

expression to feeling of humiliation and
regret that the cities "over on the other

step across the borders to be safe from

GEN. LEE.-Mr, Reagan gives new fact
in Gen. Lees history not generally known
in the North. He said that towards the
close of the downfall of the Confederate
Government there was very general i'm
preston among the high officials of the
Confederacy that Gen. Lee intended to lose
his life on the field of battle. This impress
sion was shared by the officers of Lees
army. Gen. Lee never lost an opportunity
of placing himself in position of danger.
Gen. Reagan says that. be drove out from
Richmond to see Lee upon the day the prin-
cipal battle of Cold Harbor was fought.
As he came up near where he could see
Lees headquarters he saw the shells burst
ing continually around his tent and plough
ing up the ground in front of him. Some
of the officers asked Mr.. Reagan to try to
persuade Gen. Lee to move his headquar-
tiers behind piece of timber near by. ALI
felt that he was exposing his life too much
Mr.. Reagan said to Gen. Lee: II do not
presume to advise any General in the midst
of battle, but are you not exposing your
self too much? Ought you not to 60 back
nearer your reserve?" Gen. Lee said he
had no reserve. He had only one line Of
men. He did not dare to shorten his line
for fear it would be turned, and did not
dare to thin it for fear it would be broken.
Gen. Lee evidently sought death many
times during the closing days of the war.
That was the view of the Southern leaders
then and is still believed by many.

In a few weeks the people of the several
districts of Virginia will be face to face
with the men between whom they must
choose. Whatever be the professions of the
candidates themselves, it is impossible for
any of them to be judged wholly aside from
his party and independent Of its principles
and policy. Each and all must be Judged
alike upon their own merits and upon the
merits of the party they represent. One
will appear as the champion of the Demo-
cracy-the party that in the dark days of
reconstruction rescued the people of the
South from the cruel oppression of Repub
lican tormentors and prosecutors, that in all
its long history has been the vigilant de-
fender of the peoples rights against the en-
croachments of dangerous power, whether
public or private, and that has been ever
ready firmly to check the imperialistic ten
denotes of Federalism and Repubiicanism
from the days of Hamilton and his associates
to the present time. On the other hand
will be found an opponent standing up as
the representative of a party that finds its
favorite nourishment in sectional hate and
hopes by appeals to hurtful prejudices to
prepetuate it's power, that seeks to buy its
way to place by robbing the people in order
to bestow bounties upon favored individuals
and furnish subsidies for the maintenance
of grinding monopoles, and that is as much
the foe of personal rights and local self
government as it is the active promoter of a
growing imperialism decked out in all the
sham and tiusel of American snobbery. 1t
is between these parties that the people will
be called upon to choose, and the choice
will not be difficult for any true and pa
triotic citizen.-Richmond State.

Serious Runaway Accident.

which was considered one of the best and
safest in Mr.. Pankey's livery, suddenly be-
came frightened, nobody knows at what,
and dashed away in the most furious man.
ner. The buggy struck tree at the corner
of German and West Market streets, COM
pletely smashing one wheel and throwing
Prof. Clary violently to the ground. The
horse continued his flight by the People
Office, passing between the house and sign
post, upsetting the buggy, smashing the
top, and breaking the shafts. He turned
the corner at our Office and could 60 no

pletely torn to pieces.
Prof. Clary was taken into Mrs. Miller 3
residence and kindly cared for while Drs.
Tatum and Neff were summoned. The
Professor, no doubt, is seriously hurt. A
very ugly wound is apparent on his fore
head. At this writing he has recovered
consciousness, but is quite sick.-The Peo-

valuable cows a few days ago. The COW

quantity of small pieces of glass in the cows
stomach. In cleaning up an clubhouse
some bits Of glass which we're left lying on
the floor were swept UP with some oats and
thrown out. 1t is supposed that the COW,
in eating the oats, swallowed the pieces of
glass with the fatal result above mentioned

MORRISON ON RANDALL's TARIFF BILL
Mr. Morrison demonstrates that it IRAN
dall's Tariff Bill is bill for reducing reve-
nue. rather than taxation, and that it is in
the interest of the protectionists instead of
the consumers of the country. sit reduces
taxes on articles used by manufacturers and
corporations and increases them on all cloth
ing, on wooden goods, tin plates, cotton ties
and other necessities" The New York
Times remarks: at is only by fragrant
abuse of language that Mr.. Randall's bill
can be called tariff reform measure. The
whole purpose of the bill is to reduce reve-
nues, not taxes. 1t deals with the cppres-
sive features of the present tariff only by
making them more oppressive, and, accord
ing to Mr.. Morrison's estimate, its enact
ment would actually increase the customs
taxes $5,500,000 instead of diminishing
them S., $40, SIG, as Mr.. Randall states. -
The report is conclusive as to the character
of the bill and its protective tendencies.
Mr.. Randall idea of a reform in the tariff
is to reform it backwards.-B0H. Sun.

let me not be misunderstood. Ihave deci-
ded to leave Congress. That decision is
final. I do not desire the people to have
any thought that may change, for l will
not do so. I considered the question ma
turely and the judgment formed is irrevo-
cable. So look to the coming and no longer
to the retiring man, to the rising, not to
the setting sun.
Yours truly,

THE LATE PAUL FL. HAYNE.-Paul Ham
ilton Haynes death will be felt throughout
the South, and even in the North, where
his genius, his refinement and his kindly
nature were less recognized by the general
public, his loss will be regretted deeply in
every home of culture. His name is per-
haps the last in the long list of gifted
Southern men Of the old regime who, hav-
ing devoted themselves with their whole
heart to the muses., were praised but neg
lected by their own section, and had to rely
much upon Northern readers for such mea-
sure of pecuniary success as they enjoyed.
Born in Charleston in 1880, he inherited
the prestige of a distinguished name, high
position and wealth. Being free to choose
his path, he devoted himself to poetry,
finding in the cultivated society of
Charleston of the decade before the
war the stimulus of sympathy and appreci-
alton. His first volume of poems, publish
ed by Ticknor & Co., Of Boston, in 1855.
when he was some twenty-five years old,
attained some success, and was followed by
second in 1857 and third in 1860. The
favorable reception given to his work led
Mr.. Hayne to adopt fully a literary life as his
vocation. Then came the disasters of the
civil war. A shell from the enemy's fleet
set fire to his residence in Charleston, and
such valuables as he rescued from the con-
flagration we're lost at the sacking of
Columbia. AT Copse Hill, among the pine
barreus of Georgia, the poet spent the re-
mainder of his days, living in ''shanty,'
and keeping brave heart for the arduous
literary labor he was compelled to perform.
In 1872 the Lippincotts published his
Legends and Lyrics, and in the follow
ing wear appeared his edition of Henry
