II ia Not n Personal Matter.

We arc reliably informed that Judge kone
attended the appointment of Col. Burgess
at Kyle on Saturday last, and presented his
usual grievance against the FREE PRESS We
quote from a printed slip of the report OF
the meeting:
There was large attendance, many lad
les being present Judge Kone opening
up the proceedings with reading articles
from the FREE PRESS on the school question
and winding up with declaring that l. II.
Julian was ignorant of the question dis
cussed. and saying that Capt. James Storey
had nothing to do with the matter, which
arose al me from trihing quarrel between
hiruself and the editor.
We don't know what particular point the
Judge was attempting to. mako against
us in the above, but presume he
had reference to our expose OF
last week of misapplication of the
permanent school fund, etc. Ii SO, he Is
quite mistaken in claiming that 1t was
prompted by any personal difference be-
tween us. What we said, as our readers
know, was backed up by the sworn state
ment of Messrs. Ed. j. l.. Green, VIM. Gle
sen and E. P Reynolds, acting as Flnan-
cial Committee under the appoi ntlnent OF
Judge Teichmueller-no drifting quarrel
or any other sort of quarrel III 1t, but q
plain, serious charge. We doubt not he
would be glad to turn it off MS trivial per-
sonal matter between hin and the editor OF
the FREE PRESS, but we think he will find it
a vain effort.

Hear him:

The Coming Struggle

For places will be the severest experienced
for years in Hays county, tempered with an
awful gravity. Reader, white or black,
think well what you are about. Thousands
of eyes will be upon you, cast but your vote
in the wrong direction and 'muddling" will
again be the result, We stated at the out
start of our birth that 'the pulpit and press
shouid be the moral guides Of the people,
therefore let the ministers of the gospel to-
morrow from the pulpit, the highways, and
by-ways, if need be, fearlessly instruct the
people to vote for a man of honor, and
christian-Capt James G. Storey. Feeble
and sinful contrivances should by every one
that has claim to manhood be checkmated.
otherwise mismanagement and excess will
be the result. The tax payers interests,
our county, yes, and our children sinking
deep and deeper into the mire. Again, we
fearlessly say, vote for James G. Storey and
all may yet be well.-Kyle Times.

A Common Sense View for Common
Sense People.
ToMe Voters Of TIE Corporation Of San
Marcos:
We have inst few brief words to say to
you with reference to your Free Public
Schools, as likely to be affected by the
pending election. II was only the other
day, as II were, that by your vote-the larg-
est ever given at a corporation election
said schools were placed upon separate
and Independent footing. You cannot,
therefore, have forgotten the circumstances
attendant upon that election. You cannot
have forgotten how bitterly this independ-
ent free school movement was fought, and
that in addition TO other influences, You had
to encounter the determined and persistent
opposition of your present County Judge,
Edward r. Kone. 1t is true, after the bat-
tie was fought and the victory won by you,
in spite of his opposition, he fell into ranks,
or rather desired to lead, rs staunch friend
OF the movement. We guy, ict Mn hu'S U.s.
due credit for this. But the fact of his orig
inal most unjust and unreasonable opposition
remains, and we put it to you, rs sensible
men, is man thus narrow and partisan in
his views fit to be the head of the Public
Schools of the county, Experience has
most abundantly shown that you were right
and he wrong in that contest. Our indie
pendent Free School has proved and is
proving more and more q fine successful,
including some of it's principal opponents,
,onceie the fact Some $50 pupils are re-
ceiving instruction there, and Prof. Wilt
ans, the principal of the schools, says that
with suitable building he could place 6OO
pupils in our city schools. 1t is obvious
that great future awaits them, and our
city, through the increase of population con-
seouent upon the reputation thus given 1t
for first rate general educational facilities
In view of all which, what must be
thought of man who had so poor an idea
OF the wants and the future of his own
town as to oppose, as he did, this most
needed and most benefcent enterprise
Granting that his intentions may have been
good, and that he has seen the error OF MS
ways is it best to retain such man at the
head of our Public School system?
We confidently submit the question to
your decision ON Tuesday next
