IHELATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State convention
at Galveston completed its labors
on Friday night, having began It's
session on Tuesday at noon. In
many respects it was the most re-
markable convention that ever as
sembled in Texas. 1t WAS q con-
vention that was thoroughly in the
hands of the machine and tho ma
chine worked admirably in secur-
ing the nomination of Ross by &C.
clamatIon. No doubt exists that
the bargain was made two years
ago by which Ross was 10 have the
nomination for governor. He got
it and the convention and every
body else seems to be happy and
contented. Hc will get, perhaps, q
larger majority than Ireland got
two years ago. 1t was seemingly
predetermined that Ross should
be nominated no matter what shape
the platform took. The Farmers
alliance, the Knights Of Labor and
the Phrohlbitionists were all
well represented and were
all clamorous for recognition.
The free-grass element was present
in force and it wanted free-grasS
platform. The first thing done
was to SIT down upon the alliance,
the Knights and the Prohibition
lists, then the free-grassers were
left out of the platform and re-
ferred To the legislature. After
the nomination of Ross the machine
seems to have gone to pieces and
Upton the regular candidate for
comptroller was literally scalped;
next came Walsh for commission
of the land Office, who was sup
posed to be invincible, and whose
scalp was nicely taken by a kid
named Hall, from Williamson
county. Tho ancient Lubback,
treasurer, is tho only one of the
present administration who was re-
nominated. and he was conceded
The office without any opposition.
Wheeler was nominated for lieu
tenant governor, R. R. Gaines, Of
Lamar, for associate justice, Hogg,
Of Smith, for attorney general,
Mccall, for comptroller, Hall for
and commissioner and Cooper, of
Harris, for superintendent of edu
cation. Harry Exaii, OF Lampasas,
was elected chairman of the eAc-
9utive committee.

| st. Louis Republican: Without

ton of great business boom, il
seems entirely reasonable to OK.
! pect in The near future an improv-
ed condition of trade which will
endure for Il considerable time.
The American Grocer points out
that. ''RailFoad building has be-
gun to increase again our steel
rail mills are not able to supply
the demands for rails, aud orders
are again beginning to be placed
in Europe; general manufacturing

shown by the improved demand

the surplus of the New York banks
over the legal reserve from sixty
m!llioRs last year to eight millions
this year. stocks OF manufactured
goods are generally small, and
prices so low that any change must
be for an advance" There is moth
ing in the crop prospect that need

up the question of pistol carrying.
The Galveston Tribune asks, did

habitually carried pistol? All
his acquaintance knew it and the

The Houston Post refers 10 pistol
carrying and says 1t is plain that
that many of the murders commit
ted are to be attributed TO the
license giyen in carrying pistols,
and If officers of the law we4ld en-
force the statutes against this class
the crime of murder would not be
so frequent.

The San Antonio Times is now
calculating on the good days ia
come when Hon. John Ireland will
represent Texas in the United
L. States senate.
The Paris North Texas is an ar
dent supporter of Maxey for the
United States Senate, but it does
not believe in throwing mud at
Governor Ireland who also aspires
to the senatorship.
GEO. CLARK says that Ross noml-
mated himself, but those who know
something about the inside work
ing of politics know that George
Clark manipulated the machine
and that the machine nominated
Ross.
MR.. TILDEN was very wealthy
man, his estate being estimated to

this he left to relatives and the re-
mainder is to be devoted to philan-

latlOns will be made very rich, as
riches go in New York.
Mr. PowDERLY says the Knights of
Labor are studying the science of
government, and if they do not
get tho legislation they want from
the existing parties new party |
may arise which will give it to
them. The knights are soon to

LAWRENCE SULLIVAN ROSS.

After taking one ballot the con.
ventioH nominated Gen. Ross Tor
governor by reclamation. He had
433 votes, considerably over a ma
jority and evidently was the choice
of tho people, as represented by
thcir delegates, for governor. The
managers of Gen. Ross certainly
deserve credit for their shrewd-
ness. While Gen. Ross was not
the choice of the BANNER it cheer
fully acquiesces in the verdict of
the convention and hopes to sec
him get the full strength OF the
Democratic party. In accepting
the nomination Gen. Ross pledged
himself to an enforcement of the
laws without fear or favor. The
platform on which he is nominal
ed is a very fair but not particu-
larry strong one. 1t is, however,
Democratic and leaves out all side
issues. 1t expresses satisfaction
with the administration of Prcsi-
dent Cleveland. Pledges that cur

Mr.. SEDoEwicx, who has been
commissioned by the state depart,
ment to go to Mexico and investi,
gate the Cutting case, left Wash
ington on Sunday for Mexico. He
will inquire into all the details OF
the case from the beginning to the
close OF the trial. Until this in
vestigation is made and Mr.. Sedge-
wick reports TO Secretary Bayard,
no further action will be taken
by the government. The current
and sometimes sensational reports
of the newspaper men will have
no bearing in the case whatever
and the general public might as
well make up its mind TO let the
case take Its course.

The Austin Call is Democratic
paper, but it proposes to speak its
mind upon all current topics. Ii
says: "The Call recognizes the
nomination 0f General Ross as 9
triumph of the professional Po!Itl-
clans who have manipulated the
machine long enough for their es-
pecial benefit" This is @ iaot that
must be patent to the most casual
observer, and should Ross not
make such a governor as the peo-
pie expect him to, the machine
will go to pieces ofits own weight.
The Democracy of Texas will, ere
long, in Its own defense, be COM
PEELED to throw machine politics
oYerboard-the weight is too
great.
