THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

The judicial convention of this district
yesterday, at Round Rock, placed in nomi-
nation for district judge the Hon. W. M.
Key, of Georgetown, and for district
attorney, Jas. H. Robertson, the present
incumbent. Every one in the district
knows Mr.. Robertson, as his long and
able term in his present office has made
him thoroughly acquainted in both cOun-
ties of the district. Mr.. Key is compar-
atively young man, being an able lawyer
under forty years of age. His reputation
is his county is the very best for ability
and integrity. Travis county labored
long in the convention to secure the nomi-
nation of her candidate, Colonel Carleton,
but at last gracefully yielded to the claims
of her sister county. The ticket made out
by the convention is a good and able one,
and it is needless to say will prove sue
cessful in the coming election.

THE INDIANA PLATFORM.

The Indiana republican platform,
adopted yesterday, is very negative
tame and liteless document. Among it.
drivel it condemns tampering with elec-
ton returns. So do the democrats. Sc
they did when the republicans "tampered
with the election returns" in Louisiana
and elsewhere, when Hayes was folsted
into the presidential chair, to which he
never had the shadow of right.
Who talks of tsmpering with the re-
turns! 1t should not be the
party whose escutcheon is still blotted
with the great crime of 1876, by which
Tilden was cheated out of the presidency
Another point in this very curious and
weak instrument is the charge of corrup

AN UNFORTUNATE BREAK.

The Post very justly and very severely
takes to task the congressional conven-
ton that Wednesday in Houston turned
itself into bowling mob and disgraced
itself. No good can come of such pro.
cedure and the party is certainly injured
by it. And the result of the conventions
work yesterday is not pleasant to con-
template, as it contains foreboding of a
possible democratic defeat this fall and
Texas having republican in congress.
Colonel Stewart gained the day and was
renominated for congress, but the Hutche.
son faction bolted the convention
and placed their man in the field
against Stewart. This is the OPP
portunity the republicans want, and
they will surely have their best man
groomed and ready for the race. Colonel
Stewart has made good repr esentstive,
and we regret to see such disgraceful pro-
ceedure in the convention, that may lead
up not only to defeating the return OF a
good man to congress, but may cripple
the democracy of the state and impair its
influence in Washington.
The democratic vote of the First district,
as shown by the election of 1886, is about
1900 against 10000 republicans. If,
therefore, Stewart and Hutcheson should
equally divide the democratic vote
and the republicans went solid
for Brady or some other republican,
it might result in the loss of the district
to the democrats. But Hutcheson and his
faction evidently look upon such con-
tIpgency without trepidation-so bitter
has been this remarkable contest.

ELSEWHERE will be found highly inter
esting extracts from batch of Egyptian
newspapers, received by gentleman in
this city yesterday from Hon. John Card
well, formerly of Austin, now consul
general of the United States at Cairo.
Colonel Csrdwell, in private letter, in
which the able and brilliant pen of the
former editor of THE STATESMAN is con-
spicuous, gives an appalling account of
the health of the Egyptian capital this
summer, the death rate being eighty per
thousand, or five times that of Austin.

TIE San Antonio Express sounds the
note of warning to the Hon. Roger @
Mills. 1t declares he is needed at home
to repair his fences and insure his re-
election to congress. Is not the wish
father to the thought, noble contem-
pOrary? Don't you know the Ninth is
sOlidIy in line for Roger O., and that he is
sure of another round IN Washington
Why disturb him while he labors for his
party in the doubtful states of the east
and is doing his duty valiantly in con-
gress? Your doubts and insinuated
threats are not bona fide. Why not LET
him rest at ease on his laurels, for he has
fought an onerous battle and is entitled
to his wreath?

which was to have taken place August 16
will be postponed till October Is. The
reason for this is that we find that parties
cannot give US positive answers as
to the prospects of purchasing
this early in the season. We do
not exact any promises, and tickets
are free, but we want to know who intends
to buy soon. Answer the following ques-
tiOns, and enclose 2.cent stamp for re-
turn postage, and send for ticket.
QUESTIONS:
Have you a piano or an organY
II either, what make and how old?
Do you expect to buy either; if so,
about when?
Whatever your answers may be to these
questions you will be presented with

HARRISON FURTHER HANDICAPPED.

General Harrison can not be g
supremely happy man, at least he can not
be happy in the thought that his OWL
state will repudiate him this fall. Not
alone has he in the course of his political
career estranged the working classes
everywhere in the union by his course on
the Chinese question, but he especially
affronted the laborers of Indiana by the
stand he took during the strikes some
years ago. He aims to be an aristocrat,
and will garner in but few of the votes of
the sons of toll in his own state. But now
he is charged with another offense in
Indiana, and one that no honest man
there with self-respect can forgive. 1t
was he, who as Blaine's lawyer in
his famous libel suit against the Indian
apolis Sentinel, advised Blaine to with
draw the suit, as justice for him could not
be obtained in the courts of Indiana.
Yet, it is Harrison who now appeals to
these same citizens who compose the
juries of Indiana for their votes. Will
he get them? And the same James G
Blaine, against whom the citizens of
Indiana, according to Harrison, were so
embittered that he could not there get
justice in the courts, is now to
convince these citizens of their duty and
WOO them to his notion of things. Truly,
Harrison and Blaine stand in a very
peculiar attitude before Indiana, and who
believes they can carry it for the repub-
licsn party?

GOVERNOR MoREHousE, of Missouri, is
made of the right kind of stuff. He saw
there was nothing in the application of
the British government for time in the
Maxwell case, except the securing of a
useless delay. No international questions
complicated the case, and he could not
yield to sentimental pleas when plain
duty was before him. Examples are set
by such unrelenting discharge of duty,
and criminals and the crimanally incline d
are served notice that punishment follows
surely upon the footsteps of outraged
laws. The stand of Governor Morehouse
is commended to the executives of all the
states of our great union.

THE CHINESE BILL.

Senator Coke may have had good
reasons for voting against the Chinese
prohibition bill which passed the senate
yesterday with but three dissenting votes.
But it was policy for the democrats of the
senate to have been unanimous in support
of the measure if we expect to carry
California for the democracy this fall
Besides it is but simple justice to ourselves
and our country to destroy, if possible,
the curse of the west, and if not, at
least, to prevent the danger of Monaghan
influence in the future. If the democratic
party ever expects to capture and hold
the Pacific states it must put up a square,
we'll defined record on this Chinese ques-
ton. Nor, in taking up for the interests
of California and Oregon, will the party
be recreant to those of the east which is
involved with the west in the dangers OF
Chinese immigration.

MIR. GILES NOMINATED FOR STATE
SENATOR.

Travis county yesterday successfully
nominated her candidate from this dis.
trict for the state senate. But four bal
lots were taken when Mr.. B. O. Giles was
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Giles is
a gentleman well known in Travis county,
his home, aud throughout the district
He is man of staunch integrity, good
ability and heart of oak democrat. He
Is man closely allied to the interests OF
the people, being successful farmer, and
representing that sterling class of citi-
zens, the backbone of the government.
His nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton, for it cannot be believed that Mr..
Glasscock will carry out his threat
of running independent should the
convention nominate Mr.. Giles and no
republican be placed in the field. Mr..
Giles has obtained his omination fairly
and honorably. He is the candidate of
the organized and harmonious de-
mocratic party of the district, and
as such will be supported by ythe
democrats of the district. Mr.. Glasscock
has been honored in the past with this
position, and he acquitted himself very
well of the duties entrusted to his keeping.
But now that his party has declared for a
change, and says it desires to try another
man in the position of state senator, it
does not lie in Mr.. Glasscock's mouth to
say no, nor should he, as a democrat whom
his party has honored, try in the least
way to endanger the success of the man
whom the party at this election has desig-
mated as its champion. Be his course,
however, what it may, we feel assured
that the party will triumph over personal
animosities or disgruntlement, and that
Mr.. B. G. Giles will be the next state sena-
tor from this district.

JUDGE CLARK.

The Enfield correspondent of the
Rocky Mount Phoenix says of Judge
Clark, than whom the GOLD LEAF takes
greater pleasure in hearing the praise
of no man sounded. A son Of our ma
| tive county, we feel special pride in
the brave and gallant Walter Clark,
who was one OF the youngest Colonies
in the Confederate army, and now
one of the ablest Judges on the Supc-
ror Court Bench, as he is one of the
most splendid gentlemen in the State.
The writer says:
Walter Clark, that courteous and
accomplished gentleman who has
made such a bright and lasting repu-
tation as an impartial Judge, is
booming in Halifax county for Cover
nor. We all know him for here was
his home from his youth up, and can
say We have ever found him a staunch
member of the Democratic party, a
thorough going and straight forward
man and politician without guile.
