POLITICAL HITS.

Are the strikers to be our lawmakers?

Ask their sponsor, Lieutenant-C Colonel
A. w. Terrell. Austin Record.
The Record, from some cause to itself
and everybody else unknown, opposes
Terrell and abuses him unjustly. We
think it would do much better to tell of
the good things Ireland has done, (if he
has done any and of his qualifications
for the senate, (if he has any, than to at
tempt to pull down man who is in every
way Ire and's superior.
Terrell is, beyond doubt, the ablest man
in Texas for the United States senate.
Mexia Weekly Ledger.
The people have commenced to look for
Judge Terrell and his mule.
The New Era has invited Hon. A. w.
Terrell, candidate for United States senate,
to address the citizens of this county.
The issues that he discusses are real
live ones, and no doubt a most enthusiast
tic audience would welcome him at any
point, or points, he might choose to speak
in the county.
Texas Alliance Standard.
The Hon. A. W. Terrell with his match
less eloquence," coupled with his dema-
goguery, has done more than any one
man in Texas to bring about the present
strike among the railroad employees
Nat Q. Henderson in Austin Record.
The above is a specimen of the purile
and senseless opposition of a certain Nat
Q. Henderson to Judge Terrell. Nat Q.
is very eccentric fellow and gets many
foolish ideas in his head, and his simple
ideas do not always carry with them simple
TRUTH which would rob them to a great ex-
tent of any evil, but they often bear upon
their face malignant falsity. How in
the name of reason, in the light of things
known, he got the idea that Judge Terrell
was the cause, or influenced the present
strike, is very strange and can only be
accounted for in the belief that Mats
head was little natty or tangled up with
DO you ever take anything these times,
Nat? Why, there is not a
school boy, you old veteran edi-
tor, that cannot tell you the cause of the
strikes and dissatisfied labor. 1t seems to
us that we can recollect time when
Judge Terrell stood in the way of Mats
political aspirations, we have faint rec
objection that once upon time Nat
wanted to be state senator from that dis
trict, but the people wanted A. w. Terrell,
hence the present splenetic opposition.
Nat "says"A. w. Terrell is n demagogue.
Nat, did 1t ever appear to you in your
dreams; did it ever occur to you in your
midnight rambles; did you ever give it a
thought in the qriet study in your sane
tum; did any of your boon companions
burdened with too much secrecy and
beer whisper into your ear that Nat q.
was considered devilish sly; that the peo-
pc had an opinion that Nat Q. was a
pretty good sized demagogueH If not,
take tumble on YOURSELF lat, and don't
say anything more about other people
being demagogues.
Hampstead Ledger.
Terrell is just sweeping things as he
goes. He is not only the choice of a
large majority Of the newspapers, but the
people also. We haven't been able'to find
a Maxey or an Ireland man in all this
county. We are solid for Terrell almost
to man.
Dallas Mercury.
We give space this week to the great
bDOCOu VI llOhs n W. CIlNl, VI Aubbib, w
the exclusion of other important matteis.
We recommend its careful per1sal TO our
readers all over the state, and especially
to the farmers and workingmen generally,
as the most truthful, comprehensive and
lucid review of the situation that has ever
been presented to the people by any one
man. The mind that can thus grasp the
situation, as Judge Terrell has done in
this speech, could do the common yeo-
man people services IN the American
house of lords-beg pardon, the United
States senate, we should have said. The
selection of a United States senator to
fill Mr.. Maxey's place is a matter that
most intimately concerns all the people,
and they cannot become too well ac-
quainted with the views and ideas of the
several candidates on the great questions
