Brother Cranflll and bis state ticket
aquelch both, If possible. But when This
latest gathering was called together IL did
not require but a little while TO demon
strate that Cranfll had the upper hand In
the body. He was able to outvote his
opponents II must be said to his credit
that he did not presume on his position,
and used mis- advantage rather magnani-
mously and discreetly. In effect, he
said to the hali-breed Prohibitionists-
the brethren who hesitate about cutting
loose from Democracy, aud yet yearn to
see the prohibition banner held aloit-
1--WE have cut loose and put ticket in
the field; we have organized the third
party; zoe are the SImon-pure Prohibition
lists OF Texas. What are you going to do
about iti" On the other hand he re-
Trained from anything like dictatIon. He
had votes enough TO have passed resolu-
ton indorsing the Dohoney ticket and
declaring every Prohibitionist In Tex
as IN duty bound TO support
the ticket, or be branded as Anti
Prohibitlonists, "whiskycrats," etc. But
he didn't do anything Of the kind, and
in a measure dlsarmed the half-breeds.
Some Of them would have been glad 70
have committed the convention to re-
pudiatlon Of Dohoney aud Cranhll, but
they didn't dare attempt such move.
So they held their peace on that point,
passed resolutions that do not amount 10
anything, and were only too glad that
Cranflll didn't turn the screws on them.
If there was victory and satisfaction for
anybody Cranfll is the man. But moth
ing was accomplished for either side,
and apart from the certainly respectable
and representative nature of the as
semblage, its. doings will not make a
ripple on the political waters. 1t was SO
much time and effort spent to no pur-
pose at all If the Prohibition brethren
are satisfied everybody else ought TO be,
for no harm was done the Democratic or
Republican parties. THE GAZETTE will
continue to labor with the Prohibitionists
from time to time. They viii see after a
while that THE GAzETTE's policy-high
license--is the remedial measure they
want. 1t is high license, and that alone,
which will regulate the liquor evil.

About month ago we stated in the pa

RUPr STOCK of Dry Goods aud Dress
Goods of H. I. Cooper, Chicago, valued
at s64OO, for $500. We stated we
would offer them for sale in few days;
but they never came. After writing a
number of letters, and sending many dis
patches, we at length learned that
the car upon which the goods had been
shipped was In a wreck, and they did not
know what the condition OF the goods
was. To Our surprise two of Binyon's
wagons drove up to our store door upon
yesterday and dropped the goods upon
our pavement. 1t is ali right now; we
shall offer these goods for sale upon
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST.
A great many fine dry goods ard dress
goods will be sold by us for less than
what they cost other merchants. Ladies,
pay no attention to what the dry goods
merchants in town, and their clerks, may
say about these goods being out of style,
etc. Come and see the goods for your

stated that we would offer for sale upon
the opening OF fall trade, and are now for

seems to have been about the most quietly
influential man in the body. This must
have been quite satisfactory to Crantill,
but equally as unsatisfactory to his
rivals This convention had its origin
with tue ant. CranGll element OF Prohibit

the Democratic party and burn his
bridges behind him, he called conven-

Fort Worth has been raised from pow
erty TO wealth by "putting up" for rail-
roads, having given a large bonus for
every road she possesses. Because the
people there have made their two-blt land
worth all the way from one hundred TO
ten thousand or more dollars an acre,
they found no trouble In raising over
$50, 600 In one day TO secure another road
that will sooH commence pouring further

Towns and Papers.
Cleburne Reporter,


Fort Worth owes much to THE GA
zETTE for the position she assumes to-day
OF being one Of the foremost cities Of
Texas. Where a representative daily
journal abides, the town will naturally
develop faster than without it, and no
greater champion Of a city's interests can
be selected and sustained than q daily
paper. 1t is the channel through which
information is obtained OF the advantages
which the town possesses. 1t attracts
the millionaire, those Secking invest
ments for their thousands, now lying idle
in the Eastern banks; it brings enter
prising men Of all ayocations ID its town
and county; II begets a spiri. Of enter
prise, and materially assists in moving
the wheels OF commerce of Its people and
in tiding 1t on to city OF Importance.
But without this great auxiliary, the daily
paper, the towns plods alCLg, with the
rank weeds OF indifference growing up 10
choke to death any enterprise that may
be set on foot; with cobwebs OF Incidence
weaving thick, to dim the bright future
lying out before her peoples impeded
here, retarded there, she stands by and
sees sister towns outstripping and leaving
her far behind, in an undeveloped state.
Whatever other towns may do In this re-
gard, let Cleburne handsomely sustain
Its daily paper.
