ton thereon. Has the mere fact of disap-
pointed ambition warped their Judgment
and converted party love into hatred?
One of them, for surely Judge Sheeks can
not lay claim to such a charge, but MI.
Glasscock con tends that he was unfairly
treated by the Travis county democratic
convention, and, therefore, he is a candi-
date for the senate. Truly sound and
able argument and excuse. But do those
who supported him in our county conven-
ton feel similarly outraged! Have they
called upon him to announce himself as an
independent, or, what is more honest
and nearer the facts, the candidate of the
republican party for the state senate!
We have heard of no such summons, no
such appeal. Do these gentlemen, by
their election, hope to correct any abuses
in the democratic party OF this county !
Judge Sheeks can complain of none, and
Mr.. Glasscock, in such accusations, Is not

claims before the convention, DuU "uo'
like true'democrats, now gracefully yield to
the will of the majority. If they have no
wrongs to redress they have no end to
gain save personal advancement. For
this, is the democratic party willing to
have these cases of desertion become a
a good precedent, will they submit to the
party becoming merely a name without
influence or power? The election
this fall of these two gentlemen who sub
mitted their names to the democratic con-
vention, and then defed its action and on
the outside sought republican, non-parti-
san and every other anti-democratic Po-
litical Endorsement, would be foul stab
at our party and one from which it would
not recover in this county for many a
year. Such catastrophe we do not con-
slider likely to happen, as it surely is in
the power of good democrats to prevent.

PARTY DISCRETION.

When the New York mugwumps four
years ago seceeded from the republican
party they did so for principles sake.
They knew well the leader of the republi-
can party, they knew his history in con-
gress, they knew his political corruption.
They calmly and deliberately, as think
ing and conservative men, those VINO had
the true welfare of their country at heart,
refused to support Blaine, but turned
their aid to the party contesting with
him for Office. Such action was in the
line of patriotism, and the leaders of that
movement won and retain the confidence
and respect of all men. There was
reason, sound cause, at the
source of their action. They did not claim
to be Independents, but openly worked
with the opposition to rebuke their quon-
dam party. Compare that action with
the present so-caled independent move
ment in this county. OF what do these
Independent gentlemen here complain?
What has the democracy of this county
done that it should now be wrested from
power Are its principles not the same
as always heretofore? Has it not put a
good ticket in the field-a ticket that
should win the confidence aud support of
all, and of democrats especially? OF what
in men or measures do these independ-
ents complain? Two of them at least,
ex-senator Giasscock and Judge
Sheeks, seem to have very suddenly
changed their opinion of democracy
Both these gentlemen had enough conf
dence in their former party and respect
for its convention to submit their names
to th convention and ask favorable ac-

THE TWO COUNTY TICKETS.

The election for county, state and ma
tional officers is very near at hand. To-day
five weeks hence and the contest will be
settled. While naturally we are interested
in the presidential and state campaigns,
our county cuts such small figure in these
our attention should be turned almost ex-
clusively from this time on to county
politics. As democrats and as citizens we
are peculiarly interested in the result.
The democratic party of the county has,
in its primaries and through an open,
public straight convention, nominated its
candidates for the different county offices
this fall to be filled. 1t has
put clean cut and good ticket
in the field. Opposing this ticket
is found another composed Of republicans
and o-called independents, which was
made out by a secret conclave opposed to
both democrats and republicans, and by
the straight republican convention. There
was an understanding, secret conference,
combination between these two strange
bed fellows, and the present anti-demo-
cratic ticket is the result. Compare the
two tickets and decide for which you will
vote. The democratic ticket, from dis.
trict Judge down to the smallest Office,
stands for all of good the democratic
party has wrought out for this county.
What does the other ticket stand for, ex-
cept the men whose names figure on it
and all that is hostile to democracy? Isn't
it palpably a combination for office, and
an alliance against the democratic party
They say there should be no politics in
county elections. How do they happen to
be before the people asking their suf-
frages unless they have been nominated
by the republican party and that secret
concave that put them tortn as party
nominees? Who asked them to sacrifice
themselves upon the altar of official serf-
dom, if it was not the party whose banner
they now wave? Was there any uprising
of citizens petitioning these gentlemen
to throw themselves into the breach and |
save the county from ruin and impending |
destructionH Do they in themselves con-
stitute the aggregated wisdom and ability
of the county, and to such a degree
that divine efllatus has tossed
them to the surface of affairs, and per-
force driven them to the county's rescue ?
Such claim is preposterous. The force
that projected these men into this CAM
paign, as opponents of the democratic
party, selected them from every most |
available place; it was seeking the strong
est combination to defeat democrats. |
Anything in the shape of influence WAS
added to the ticket-anything to win, it
mattered not what, republican, lndepend-
ent or any ism or cree to beat democ-
racy. If democrats allow such an inhu-
ence to win, then Travis, the seat of the
capital of the greatest democratic state in
the union, deserves to be forever classed
as republican.

THURMAN'S LETTER.

1t is announced in the dispatches this
morning that Judge Thurman will not
write any letter of acceptance, deeming
his speech to the committee who officially
informed him of his nomination sufficient.
He says he does not see the necessity of
what would be mere Formally. Judge
Thurman's action is in good taste and
better Judgment. He has already said,
with sufficient emphasis for the American
people to understand, he has accepted the
honor es well as the vast responsibilities of
co-standard bearer with Grover Cleveland
at the head of the democratic patty.
Besides, the views, sentiments and prin-
oiples of the Ohio Recommendation
known before, but more recently pro-
claimed from the stump-need no reitera-
ton with pen and ink. A formal repetition
would be in the nature of supererogation.
The judges resolution is the highest com
pliment to Cleveland, and an ackLowledg-
ment that nothing more could possibly
be added to the presidents own letter
of acceptance. Without anything more
said, the people know the Old Roman
is aligned with them and the great demo
cratic party. That is sufficient.

HAD our county the turnpike roads she
should have, would the long or short haul
make so much difference to the farmer as
it does to-day? If we had firm and broad
turnpikes leading to Austin from all
points of the county, would we be daily
losing the cotton that is being carried to
other points nearer the farmers homes
Things being even nearly equal, the
farmer prefers going to the larger rather
than the smaller town. Remember this
roa1 question when you vote for county
commissioners and county judge next

The county judge in his important and

pie than any other county official. 1t is,
therefore, exceedingly important the
county be very careful in selecting man
thoroughly capable and suited to such an
office. Business qualifications and legal
making the selection. The county has
interests too valuable at stake to allow
personal reasons or outside inducements
to tip the balance of decision.

longer for letter to travel 90 miles, how long

And it might be well TO shake out the mail bags
and look behind the letter boxes with candle, and
turn over the straw In the bottom of the mail
wagons and have the postal clerks searched. Con-

yet. Very likely it win not reach you until some

OF course il may.
