In the parcelling out OF state oili-
ces by the democratic convention in
session at Dallas, West Texas gets
one office, that of chief justice of the
supreme court. All the other candi-
dates come from east of the Colorado.
Judge White who formerly lived in
Seguin, during his present term has
moved to Austin, and even he now
cannot be considered q West Texas
candidate. The Times now speaks
of West Texas as that part of the
state lying west of the Colorado.
Judge ID. p. Mari, the only candi-
date presented as distinctly West
Texas man, besides Chief Justice
Stayton, was most overwhelmingly
Defeated by the North Texas combine.
Dallus gets two Judges, Henry and
Hurt. OF the four others North
Texas gets three. 1t is the same
way with all the state offices. West
Texas is always modest in offering
candidates to the democratic state
convention, but it does seem that bel
claim to some of the offices should
be favorably considered. The con
yention should havenominated Judge

ReQgan's Speech.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-[Special -.
Senator Reagan's speech on the tar
if this afternoon in the senate was
truly very able speech. The Sena-
tor had spent much time IN its prep
aration and was accorded q good au-
dance, which is an unusual thing in
the senate chamber. He stirred up
the republicans to an alarming eX-
tent when he quoted from the speech
of Blaine Yesterday on the subject OF
trusts, wherein the Maine statesman
said trusts were "prlvate affairs and
that neither President Cleveland nor
any one else had right to interfere
with them. This quotation caused
the republicans to 60 wild with rage
at the Texas senator, when Senator
Blair tried to defend Mr.. Blaine by
saying his speech was improperly re
ported. 1t looks like Mr.. Blaine is
the Burchard of his party this year.

The Grandfather for Slavery.

AfNHsHNN"
II would seem, however, that Gen,
Harrison 10 not making tho race for
the presidency on his own account
alone, but rather on joint account
with Lis grandfather, From the tone
Of the organs OF the republican party
il appears as II the people OF Indiana
were expected to have great state
pride in tho grand father az well as
in the grandson, and to vote for them
both. To suchas think General Viii
liam Henry Harrison good assistant
TO General Benjamin Harrison at this
time, l would suggest careful read
ing of the early history OF Indiana by
John B. Dillon. II will be found on
page 40 OF Dillon's history that the
most important measure over pro
posed on tho soil Of Indiana was a
proclamation by Gen. Harrison in
December, 1902, for the election o!
delegates TO convention which mot
in the same month and year at Vim
cennes, and over which Gen. Harri-
son presided, for the purpose OF me-
morializing congress TO repeal or sus'
pend the sixth article OF tho ordi-
nance OF 1857. and thereby authorize
and establish slavery in the northwest,
A memorial and petition were agreed
upon and forwarded to congress, ask
ing for human slavery in all the coun'
try then embraced in the Indian
territory. Congress, under the lead
of John Randolph, refused this appea
and thus relieved the people OF lndl
ana at that time, and also succeeding
generations, from the peculiar obi
cations they would have been undel
to the first General Harrison. When
this startling chapter of early history
has been fully considered and di
gested, l think it will be seen tina
the pro-slavery Virginia wing made
n bettor race in 1910 than he would
now and that the grandfather feature
of the present canvass might better b.
dropped. 1t does not look well, es
pecially to those who believe in thu
dignity and honor Of free white labor

Chicago POstOfIice RObberies.

CHICAGO, August 15.-The post
Office inspectors having in charge the
letter-box robbery affair, have COM
pleted a partial list of the checks,
drafts, money orders and other ne
gotiable papers which were found in
Won Obercampfs rooms, and say
thus far it foots up over $500
The inspector is satisfied as to the
aggregate. All the stolen documents
which were recovered will be fully
seven million. There is no means
of telling how much cash Won Ober-
kampf secured, as many people are
in the habit of sending small amounts
through ordinary letter mails. The
inspectors think il is the most colossal
mail robbery ever known.
