WHY THEY WERE DEFEATED.

So far as the defeated candidates them
selves are concerned, it boots not now to
inquire the cause of their discontinue at
the hands of the convention. But if, as
iii the case of state officials, their over
throw is connected, or supposed to be
connected, with any policy affecting the
interests of the people, then it becomes
legitimate and profitable source of
inquiry
Why were Swain and Walsh defeated:
Their ability and experience as public Of
ficials were undisputed, and their integ-
rity and honesty have never been ques-
toned. There can now be little doubt that,
while, in Mr.. SWANS case, the
influence Of the administration was
thrown against him, the sins of the land
board have been laid upon the shoulders
of both Captain Walsh and Colonel
Swain, who are prominent members of 1t.
However, unjustiy, in the popular mind
they have been held responsible for the
school fund losing millions of dollars
through cattle synlicates illegally, and
without rental, occupying the lands of
the school children. Evidently, too, in
the popular judgment, the executive
office is held responsible for this plumber
ing of the school fund, as is shown by the
failure of county conventions throughout
the state and of the Galveston convention
to endorse the administration. If this has
beaten Walsh and Swain, it will also, in
the end defeat Governor Ireland for the
United States senate.

MIR. McCALr's RECEPTION.

The way in which the successful aspi-
rant for the comptrollership was
received by his home people yes
terday was one of the most
pleasant incidents of the campaign. 1t
was a spontaneous ebullition of personal
respect and regard by Mr.. McCall's neigh
bors and a sincere testimonial of their
pleasure and qualification at his success.
There is another point in yesterdays
demonstration that should not be lost upon
McCall's friends. 1t is that this testimO-
NAL by the citizens of Austin was
out of regard for McCall's worthiness as a
man and citizen, but may be taken also
as rebuke to those persons WHO, in the
recent campaign, took it on themselves,
by digging into the past, to bring up
something to the injury and discredit of
the gentleman just selected by the great
democratic party of Texas for the high
and responsible Office of state comptroller.
And now people in every nook and corner
of the state who will, in a month or two,
be called on to vote for Mr.. Mccall, can
see from yesterdays reception how he
stands among his home people, the place
to find out what man really is.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-19
THE RESULT.

As has probably been anticipated by
majority of the people of the state, Gen.
Ross has been selected by the democratic
party for governor of Texas. The con-
test before the convention was squarely
waged. Each aspirant to the high, honor
able and res ponsible position of the chief
magistracy of great state had a fair
show before a body representing the dem
ocratic party of Texas. Therefore, none
OF the candidates for the governorship, or
their friends, have any right to complain.
We and they entered the convention with
the understanding that we should all
abide by its decision. That pledge
so far as The STATESMAN is concerned,
shall be faithfully kept, however much the
decision has been against our judgment
and our wishes.
The STATESMAN has adhered to the for
tunes of Colonel Swain throughout the
canvass, and we see no reason whatever to
change our estimates of the different can
didates hitherto in the field, and as to
their fitness for the gubernatorial chair.
But, as member of the democratic
party, and representing the following
with which Colonel Swain went into the
convention, The STATESMAN accepts, as
they have done, the decision of the de-
mocracy.
In thus closing the campaign, which
results in the virtual election
of General Ross as governor
of Texas, we have nothing to regret, no
apologies to make for anything we have
said or done during the late heated can
vass. And here we point to the files of
The STATESMAN to show that whilst sup
porting one of his opponents, we have
uttered no word of personal abuse,
no syllable of detraction against General
Ross. We opposed him honorably. That
opposition is now sunk in the interest of
the democratic party of Texas.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-19

before a last resort to arms. Pending
the second demand of Mr.. Bayard, Mexico
whether to gain time or really counting
inyestigation-has asked that the United
States send special envoy to consult
with the Diaz government previous to
final decision. The acceptance of this
offer by President Cleveland is plainly in
the line of the provisions of the treaty
above referred to. According TO all we know
of the character of Mr.. Cleveland for
backbone, there is every reason to believe
that if the mission of the envoy is unsuc-
cessful, then action and determined &C
ton will be taken by this government. 1t
will have TO be taken. Cleveland and
Baydrd we'll know in the present temper
of public opinion back down would
kill them and the administration dead as
Hector, and deliver a blow upon the party
that elevated them to power-a blow that
might fatally cripple it in 1888.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-19
A RETRACTION.

1t was a graceful thing, the introduction
of John D. Mccall to the democratic con-
vention by Mr.. W. NJ. Brown. Mr.. Brown
had seemingly been very bitter against
Mr. Mccall, but he denied that it was a
personal fight, and said it was only for
party reasons. The party, as represented
by their assembled delegates, failed to
agree with Mr.. Brown, and endorsed Nc
Calls sterling democracy. Upon this,
Mr.. Brown requested of Mr.. Mccall the
privilege of introducing him to the dele
gates demanding his appearance, The
charges against Mr.. McCall's democracy
being made alone by Mr.. Brown this act
of Browns, in making the introduction,
was public and binding disclaimer of
his former opinion, and forever dissipates
the solitary suspicion against man now
unanimously endorsed by the votes of
over seven hundred delegates represent
ing the great stalwart democratic state of
Texas. Mr. Brown has done handsome
thing, and Mr.. Mccall is fully vindicated
and stands without suspicion sullying
his record. Success to our new comp
trOQlel.

THE MEXICAN IMBRoGLIo.

1t is needless to say that the somewhat
remarkable delay in settling the Mexican
dispute has in no way lessened interest in
an affair that is now attracting profound
attention among other nations.
The present status seems to be about
this: The United States, without backing
down or surrendering its position in the
quarrel, is attempting to carry out, on its
part, the provisions of the treaty of
1S4S. One of these was, that in
the event of any dispute of a
character similar to the present,
every effort shall be exhausted at settle
ment by diplomacy and peaceful method;

THE REPUBLICAN MACHINE.

The old county machine was screwed
and frightened up yesterday, and its work
is presented in the ticket manufactured,
or, rather, endorsed yesterday, and which
will be found in our local columns.
The manipulators of the machine did
some pretty shrewd work, as will appear
from an inspection of the proceedings of
yesterdays convention.
The republican leaders in Travis county
knew full well that straight ticket would
not win, and coalition with men who
have strayed out of the democratic fold
was by them deemed the best road to sue
cess-that is, the defeat of the democratic
ticket Col. DeGress and the
other republican leaders evil
IDENTIFY count not only on marshaling
the full strength of their own party in the
coming election, but attracting to their
standard such disaffected, wilk and water,
or sorehead democrats as may desert the
democratic ranks.
But are they sure of preserving the en-
tire cohesion of their party? We think
not. As will be seen in our local columns,
the colored leaders are dissatisfied with
the work of the machine. They reason
and very correctly, that if they are going
to vote for democrats, they might as well
i 81.
and not to men who have turned their
backs on their own party in order to secure
republican support, and for that alone.
We would advise these colored men not to
be caught in any such trap as that set by
the machine yesterday, but if the republi-
can managers bid them support demo!
Gratis let it be of the straight, not the
hybrid, description.
