THE TEXAS CALDRON.
What the Papers are Saying OF Men and
MeafureE,


meaEures,
Marshall Herald: John Ireland will
never represent Texas in the United
States Senate. He does not weigh
enough mentally. He has had his day.
Texarkana Times: The Dallas News
has divorced itself from the Democratic
party. This is too sad. The Texas De.
mocracy will now go to the "demnition
bow vows" in hurry.
Farmersville Times: Mills tariff
speech to the manufacturers at Providence
will not help him much in his aspirations
for seat in the United States Senate.
Jefferson JimpIecute: II anybody
wants to scare the Democracy of Texas
to death, Just hoist Wash Jones' old coat
on high pole and say "scat."
Fairfield Recorder: The Galveston
/ News thinks Governor ROSS would make
s good United States Senator, and quietly
edges in word in that direction every
now and then. The News owes Coke an
old grudge, but is not going to come out
and SIGHT him as it once did.
BRENNAN Banner: Mr.. Mills has Great
ed considerable dissatisfaction and dissp-
pointment among his friends by reason
|
triumphant reelection Is q necessity in
the interest Of revenue reform, and is as
sured if his fool friends will but cease to
insist that he is candidate for the Sen
ate against his will. Mr.. Mills has not
authorized them to speak for him and no
DOUBT would be pleased If they would
keep their mouths shut.
San Antonio Light: The Paris Daily
News asks this fool question "Why
is 1t that the Waco Examiner
and the Fort Worth GAZETTE single out
Colonel Mills for criticism on the tariff
question? President Cleveland, Speaker
Carlisle, Breckenridg and anoverwhelm
ing majority of the Democracy, are
in tune with him." The o.
vious answer is because Mills il
from Texas and Texas does not want free
wool, and Mills has put free wool upor
the list, and Mills is amenable
to Texas for This politica
acts, and ClevelandM and Carlisle
and Breckenridge are not, in the same
sense IS Mills is, because they do moi
represent Texas constituency in Con-
gress.
San Antonio Express: The "crust il
breaking" over in Eastern Texas, 100
Heretofore it has been considered rsnl
treason for any man to offer himself IS ,
candidate for Congress against the sitting
member; but Captain T. T. Gammsge an
nounces his determination tC measure
swords with Hon. Howdy Martin. MAY
the best man win. If that is treason
make the most Of 1t.
> Marshall Herald: We will venture ;
prediction, which will very probably b
verified, viz: Mills will not be q candi
date for the senatorship, the chances are
evenly balanced that there will be no op.
position candidate pitted against Coke
and it Is certain that Coke will be re- elec ct
ed. II any man should appear in tht
lists that man will be either Terrell Of
Ireland. AS for Mr.. Mills his politics
future is assured, it is built upon an en-.
during foundation and he can generously
afford to wait.
San Antonio Times: The Galveston,
Dallas News finds it necessary to formu
late its platform. Most Democratic jour
nails do not.
Brady Sentinel: Cranfill's effort to pu
out straight prohibition ticket will no
receive much favor from the press O.
Texas. The Sentinel favored prohibi.
ton, but when 1t was defeated 1t settled
the question SO far as the Sentinel is con
cerned. 1t is opposed to q prohibition
ticket first, last and all the time.
Texarkana Times: Just as forerun
ner the Times don't mind stating tina
Senator Gregg of Palestine will succeed
Howd'y Martin in the House Of Congress
The handwriting is already on the wall IL
dim but leglble letters. Senator Gregg i
one of the best as well as the brainies
men in Texas and he will make tip-tol
Congressman.
Brennan Banner: Hon. Roger Q. Mill
is able to take care Of himself and will b.
triumphantly reelected to Congress.
