POLITICAL POINTERS.
Some observations BY the Press on t
Coming Situation,

1
Coming Situation,
Terrell Times: The Times rises to say
that neither Dsllas nor Fort Worth runs
this congressional district, and 1t may be
8 long time before the outlsying pre-
cincts permits either of them to have a
congressman.
Bard Star: The GAZETTE SAYS that
candidates for Lieutenant Governor are
becoming numerous, and asks what has
Wheeler done that he should not be re-
nominated with the balance of the state
officers. That's what many others
would like to know.
Fairfield Recorder: Hon. George G.
Pendleton of Bell county is being groomed
for the ieutenant-governorship, and it is
said his name will likely be put before the
forthcoming convention. Mr.. Pendleton
Was the Speaker Of the last House OF Repre-
sentatives, and is young lawyer of fne
ability and considerable premise. II he
is sound on the side Of the people, in gen.
eral legislative matters, he is very fair
man for the place.
Bolton News: Ross will be renomi-
mated and reelected by majority that
will nearly reach 200, eco.
Luling Signal: Because Colonel Mills
has announced himself csndi-
date for reelection to the lower
house OF Congress the partisans OF
Coke have 'laid the fsttering JUNCTION to
their souls" that he will not be in the
Senatorial race. In this, however, they
are doomed to disappointment. Mills
will not only be in the race, but will be
the next Senator.
Greenvllle Banner: The Atlanta Con-
stitution and the San Antonio Express
make hrst-rate deputy Republican Or
gsns.
Sherman Democrat: When looking
around for an issue for the n, It legislR-
tive race, stir up the candidates on the
necessity OF renodeling our school sys-
tenn so that teachers can be promptly
paid, and that communities where sehe OILS
are neglected cannot get their moley
at all.
Temple Herald: Democracy does not
need to have prefix to make It true.
Tyler Courier: A few days ago some
one asked what was the matter with
Wheeler for reelection as Lleutenant-Gov
ernor, inasmuch as there was a general
disposition to give the whole administra-
ton second term. There was not q
Every unanimous" response to the ques-
ton; more perhaps from 8 feeling that
Wheeler could take c;re OF himself in 8
little matter like thGt than from any OBJ :
jec!ion.
AlvarGdo Bulletin: Plain 10 Abbott
will bea candidate for Congress from
this district. He has done about as well
as any man 'hat could have been sent the
last two years and he will enter the race
with decided advantage over ell oppo-
nents.
Austin Dispatch: Ex-Governor Lub-
book has the opportunity of his life to do
neat and graceful act, and enc which
would call down upon his head the upiver-
sal plaudits OF his fellow citizens. 1t Is
to voluntarily decline to stand as candi-
date fer reelection as State Treasurer,
and throw the weight of his influence in
behalf of that gallant Old veteran, Gen.
eral Henry e. McCulloch. Governor
Lubbock has been honored by the people
OF Texas many times. A reelection
could bring with it no additional
honors to him. he has amassed a
comfortable competence from the
perquisites of the office. General
McCulloch has served his people and
state long and faithfully, without other
reward than the consciousness Of duty,
honestly and unselhshly performed. He
has grown gray in the service, and now
in his old age, finds himself In straight
ened circumstances. He is an applicant
for position he is in every way worthy
and qualified to fill, and It would be to
the shame and disgrace of the people OF
Texas If it Is denied. G.. vernon Lubbock
is the only aspirant who will oppose him.
Will not his own sense of justice and
right induce him to step aside.
