THE TEXAS CAULDRON.

Paris News: Henry Furman OF Fort
Worth, is candidate for Congress
against Joe Abbott. He is out in 8 long
letter to the people explaining his views
on public questions. In q nutshell, he
iavors everything that is good, sad is
opposed to everything that is bad.
Texsrksna Times: Why does the Gal
weston News desire to defeat the ag2res-
sive and brainy Grains reelection 10
Congress from the Seventh district? Can
or will the News tell? Can Grain tell!
W. 81. Grain is one Of the brightest lights
among our Congressional delegation, and
ought to be kept where he is.
Ssn Antonio Times: George B. M
plemann OF Ell Paso hiss been mentioned
as q possible candidate for State Treas
urer. He is abundsntly able to fill the
office, and there are crest many people
in Texas who haven't forgotten that
"Bsrney" Zimplemann was Sheriff OF
Travis county when the Davis crowd
went out and Coke went in, and that in
those days, which tried men, he did his
duty like man. Zimplemann has plenty
of friends in Texas.
Bowie Cross Timbers: It is now Del,
nitely known thst J. w. ThrockmOrtun
will be candidate for Congress in this
district.
Athens Review: The Review admires
A. W. Terrell. He is brainy man snd
advocates good principles, 0u5 ne IS too
fresh with his instructions to 'Old
Brains" who was here before him and
who is very apt to know his own mind
better than A. W. Terrell does.
Big Springs PAntegraph: The only
directors to the denomination OF the pres
enG state administration are wire pulling
politicians with axes of their own to
grind. The peoDls should mark this class
and see to it that they are not sent - the
stste convention Cisco Roundup.
II Wheeler wants a reelection West
Texas will rally around him and do h@r
best. The belief Is prevalent, however,
throughout this section that Wheeler has
desire to drop the mantle of the lieu
tenant govern orship end don the congress
sional one worn by Lsnhsm, and the be-
lief also prevails throughout this portion
of the district that he won't be able to
perform the act. We had much rather
support Wheeler for denomination SIS
Lieutenant Governor than oppose his
nomination to Congress as Lsnnam's
successor.
Ronhsm News: Colonel Culberson will
have no opposition in this congressional
district, aud will consequently have s
walk-over. He has made one of the
most efficient Congressman that Texas
has ever had. In TACT, we think he hss
more ability than any other representative
Texas has, and is so endesred to the peo-
pie OF this district that he will slWays get
their votes for Congress or for any otner
position that he may seek. He justly de-
serves this high standing among his con-
s.ituents, for he has ever been true to his
trust, and has worked for the interest Of
the people.
Paris News: The Galveston News is
not exactly opposing W. H. Grain for re-
election TO Congress, but is finding a
crest deal of fault with him. The Nsws
may contain its little soul in peace; Mr..
Grain will go back if he wants to. And
he will want to.
Tsscoss Pioneer: Texas, like Uncle
Sam, hes "balance in the Treasury" 10
be disposed Of, and instead of piling it rp
in the vaults she believes it the part Of
wisdom, and serving the purposes con-
templated for It, tnat money should be
kept in circulation. By the way, is it not
significant thet only Democratic admins
trations are perpleXed with the cssh
balance problem?
Wills Point Index: "Rev. Rufus c.
Burleson, the eminent Baptist divine Of
Waco, published few days since in the
Advance most peculiar and unfortunate
attack on George Clark aud Roger Q.
Mills, and one OF which the reverend doc
tor will feel ashamed after calm and tenn
perate reflection"
Big Springs Pantsgraph: The Big
Springs Paragraph is for Lsnham, but
it does not deem IL necessary to oppose
the holding OF q Congressional conysn-
ton on that account. On the contrary it
favors a convention, believing that LIN
ham has record that will bear the closest
scrutiny at the hsndSof the Democratic
party Breckenridge Texas. r.
Lsnham has record and q good one.
We don't believe there is man in The
district that can make better one in the
same length OF time, therefore, We fagnr
him for reelection because he'can do
more good for the district now than .
new member could accomplish in two
terms. Lanham is our choice subject to
the Democratic Congressional cunven-
