That cruel SANDER on Swain was
started by some one evidently very much
opposed TO seeing our present comp

done decidedly more good than harm for

DR.. John Collier has the inside track on
his competitors by large majority. Il
seems almost To- be settled beyond a
doubt that he will be the next superin-
tendent Of public instruction ~ Alyarado
Bulletin.
a number of papers have settled the
question that Mr.. MaXey will be his

senator, in which event il might be
worth while for Gov Ireland and the
other ospirants for this position to

Notwithstanding all the possible abuse
that could be heaped on the Hon. A. w.

The Waco Examiner is evidently afraid
that Ross will not carry McLennan
county 1t keeps on putting him to its
utmost capacity, Just as it has been doing
for the past six months, and 1t doubtless
would not do so did it not think its read
ers-the people of McLennan county
needed considerable persuasion.-TH Hub

Swain for our next governor. The
people want plain, unassuming, com
petent man for the position and WI.
Swain is that man. ST. 10 Herald.
The Waco Examiner will sit down
harder and flatter than Gen. Ross when
the other fellow walks of with the nom
ination.- Tyler Democrat and Reporter.
The attempt, by bogus press dis
patches, to connect the name of Col. w.
j. Swain with the Austin murders, has
injured the opposition to Col. Swain more
than it has him. Such warfare won't win
with the people, and the sooner Swaip's
enemies learn it, the better it will be for
them Hillsboro Mirror.
A good little boom is now on foot for
Judge Gustaye Cook. We prefer Sui
Ross so far. The man who made rood
soldier and did the best Indian fight NO
that was ever put up in this state ought !
TO be remembered. Sui Ross is clean of
hand, warm Of heart and pure IN spirit,
and has the executive ability to look out
Tor the interest of the state and people

The friends of Col. Swain are Justly
indignant at the circulation of the in
famous falsehood that he was an assoc
ciate Of Mrs. Phillips, who was muir. |
dored on Christmas eve. Some scamp
managed to send the report through the
Associated Press dispatches throughout
the country. II IS to he hoped that he
viii be discovered and held up to public
repr9bation Such methods cannot harm
Col. Swain or any other good man, and
can only injUre those who adopt them, or
IN whose behalf they are used.-TSan
Marcos Free Press,
The mere fact that Gen. Ross is a farm
er does not entitle him TO the governor
ship OF Texas. Farming Is an honorable
occupation, followed by honorable men,
out this way OF making a hobby of a
mans occupation and using IL as a reason
why he should receive political prefer
ment Is certainly considerable depart-
ure from the Jeffersonian test for official
htness. II Gen. Ross should receive the
nomination for governor, il should
not be as farmers candidate, Knights
OF Labor candidate, or candidate of any
special class or organization other than
the peoples candidate--a candidate of
lhose who constitute the majority of the
grand Old Democratic parry, whether the
DC farmers, lawyers, merchants, doctors
or OF any other Class or profession. No
