poses.

The capital stock of the company
is 100000.
The state officers ut Austin think
the Democratic state ticket Is
elected by q majority of about So
1000; if this be so it is consider
able falling off from the election OF

| F. P. GRAVES, well known
newspaper man, formerly OF Gal
weston, has severed his connection
with the Fort Worth Mail and ac-
cepted a position on the Austin
Evening Call.
VoTE your political principles
and not your personal likes or DIS
likes, said the Navasota Tablet be-
fore the election. In this county
the negroes voted q solid Republic
can ticket.
BEFORE the election Henry
George is said to have made five
political speeches and written a
leader every day for newspaper.
He certainly has great physical
endurance if nothing else.
The Houston Herald says there
is no regular Democratic ticket for
county officers in Harris county

convention was captured by Re-
publicans and Independents.
The elections returns published |
in the Galveston News on Tuesday |
from the different states in which |,
elections were held are very in
complete, but the indications arc
that the Democrats have gained a
number of congressman.
SENATOR Maxoy is opposed to
railroad pools and thinks the law
of the state is ample to break them
up. He is u strong believer in
competition and thinks the moro
railroads we have the better it will
be for the people.
THE San Antonio Times is an
ireland paper and IN an off-hand
way it says Senate Maxey is down
in the shoc-strIng district looking
after his affairs for himself. The
Times may rest assured that Sena-
tor Maxey is all right.
THE Waco Day hits its noighbor
the Examiner a hard lick. The Ex-
amlner insists that Senator Maxey
has held Office long enough and it
advocates the claims of the old
alcalde TO the position. The Day
makes the point that for forty
years Ex-Governor Roberts has
held office, without relaxing his I
grip to catch fresh hold.
AT Now Laredo on Sunday ,
morning q Mexican entered the {

Jealousy was the cause. The mur- &
derer was arrested and Jailed.

pleased with tho course of the =
Fort Worth Gazette, a paper that G

Democracy and Democratic CAN
dldates; he has stopped his SUBJ q

VIM. SMITH, the negro, who in '
Chicago = few days ago assaulted g
two woman and robbed them and t
then nearly beat them to death was I
arrested Friday. Tho police had I
hard work to keep up q mob from d

MONEY yields a powerful infu- n
ence. The San Antonio Evening u
Paper says a careful survey of the t,
ield shows that the peoples ticket L
S far ahead, but there is no telling 9,
What money will do on election
lay. The Paper is supporting the !,
peoples ticket. ci
