COOKE COUNTY.
Az the head Of our editorial columns
to-day appears the announcement of w
o. Davis as a candidate for congress.
We presume that there is scarcely a
reader of the Register who is unacunainted
with this gentleman, both in his private
and public life. OF his private life we
need not speak further than to point ont
those qualities which we believe especi-
ally benefit him for much usefulness I'm
the nations legislature. Mr.. Davis is
gifted by nature with a mind quick TO
perceive, equally quick to resolve, and
when resolved, impossible to turn from
what Judgment declares to be right. He
Is close student, and among the most
logical reasoners in the state. His
reputation as q lawyer is co-extensiye
with the confines of the state, and all ac-
knowledge his ability. His record as
legislator Is before the people, and we
have yet to hear it criticised by those
whom he represented. In the halls of
the Texas legislature he was ever recog.
nized as leader and an earnest guardian
OIL the peoples rights and the ancient
landmarks laid down in the constitution.
what he was In the state legislature we
may Justly expect him to be in CONGRESS-
II elected. While Mr.. Davis is not n
man given to those brilliant flights of
rhetoric which distinguish some,
ana might not lay claim to being an
orator, his utterances ALWAYS command
the most earnest attention because of
their logic and intrinsic merit, and it Is
well known that when he rises to sneak.
II Is not for his own qualification, but he.
cause he has something of interest to
say The voters of this district can RELY
on another feature of Mr.. Davis, charac.
ter and that Is he does not possess n
single feature of the demagogue. What
he is to-day he will be tomorrow. and
the loea OF counting or suing for public
favor Is entirely foreign to him. OF his
puohc career we shall say more at an.
other time. We believe that the interest
Oh this district will be protected
and advanced by the election of
W. Davis to congress, and we behave
that the voters of the counties will saw so

W conventions. We have no promises 10
make Tor him at this time save that, SO far
as lies III his power, the interests of his
