State POLITICS.

So far there are but two candi-
dates before the public for the Of
fee OF governor of Texas-These
two it is well and widely known
are Mr.. Swain and Gen'I Ross. Mr..
Swain was n private in the late I'M
pleasantness, and Gcn'l Ross was
a brigade commander. Both men,
so far as is known, were upright
and honorable, and are gentle
men as the world goes. So far as
the BANNER and its constituents are
concerned, both are the most high
toned and most elegant gentlemen
in the State; but the question may
we'll be asked: Who asked either
ono of them TO constitute himself
a candidate for governor? The
BANNER, as a newspaper, has never
committed itself to ono or the
other; it has expressed its prefer
ence for Swain as before Ross, but
it has never seen any cause why
either one of these two men should
constitute himself q candidate.
The State Democratic Convention
is yet to meet. and it seems to us
that the democracy of the State,
through its regularly constituted
representatives, is abundantly able
to choose a candidate for governor.
Tho democracy, as party, will
surely vote for the nominee.

CAMPAIGN papers are by no
means new ventures, but as rcgu-
Iarly as q state or national election
occurs campaign papers CT great
or small pretentlons are started.
Somebody has to pay for them and
generally the public is the sufferer.
If the object for which the paper
was established Is attained, the
man, or men, or party in whose in
terest 1t was established have gain
ed their point by getting into Of
fee and the public is made uncon-
sciousiy to foot the bill the drain
upon each individual pocket is so
small that 1t is not missed. The
campaign paper is fraud ! the
less people have to do with it the
better. They may answer a good
purpose for the time being but
they won't do. The only reliable
newspapers nowadays are those
that are well established, and that
have no axes to grind.
