POLITICAL POINTERS.
What the Bubb ing of tho Texas CauldrOn
DisClOses to View.


DIsClOsestO View.
Beeville Bee: The San Angelo Stan
dErd, in commenting upon John IrelAnd's
candidacy for the United States Senate,
says that the west wSats Senator that
does not look upon the present out of a
pair OF 1860 speCtscles. To say that the
Standard is right is not necessary. At
| the convention OF delegates thst organ
| lied the Southwest Texas immigration
| Association, the Ex-Governor was de-
| feated tor chairman. If I'm ITelsnd's
chances of heaven are as slim as for the
United States Senate, all the prayers Of
Christendom would not save him.
Henderson County News: If Hon.
George Clark's letter shows anything at
all, it clearly shows that that gentleman
wants the Democratic pSrty made simply
an anti-prohlbtion party. II this ides is
carried out, we can't see otherwise than
that the Democratic party will lose
strength. The 100000 Democrats who
voted for prohibition last year, IS nom
partisan question, have no desire to see
It made partisan question this year. II
there is any disruption Of the Democratic
party at all. extremists are the ones who
will bring it about The question of pro-
hibition is settled for the present, aud in
order that harmony may be preserved, let
it rest.
Austin Dispatch: Marion Martin
authorizes the announcement that he will
not be 8 candidate for Governor this
year. 1t is just as well, but perhaps
trfla unnecessary to have made the state
ment, for everybody knows that il he
lives, Governor Ross will be nominated
for second term by reclamation.
Austin Statesman: The Waco Advance
is flying the colors of "Marion Martin, of
Navarro county, for Governor" Some
other time If it gmust be, Icont temporary.
Governor Ross suits the people very well,
and he is surely good for second term.
You had better switch to the winning
side st once.
San Antonio Express: The Galveston
News continues 10 pay Hon, Charles
Stewart, member of Congress for the
First Texas district, the compliment Of
lighting him in its columns in petty,
spiteful way. When the News does this
to man it is evident that he has opinions
of his own and exercises them without
dictation from that psper. In this in
stance, the News is mad at Stewart be-
cause he will not represent Galveston
instead of the district for which he was
elected.
Kaufman Review: The necessity of
concentrating at one point on the Texas
coast the appropriations made by Con-
gresa, and stpresent divided up here and
there, as for instance, at Galveston, Sa-
bine Pass, Corpus Christi, and mouth of
the BrsZos, for the purpose OF securing
deep water, is becoming every day more
apparent.
Van Alstyne Enterprise: "The Gaines
Vile correspondent of the Dsllss News
says that the congressional fight is on in
this district We we've slightly mis-
taken, it seems, when We said that there
was no announced opposition to Judge
Hare The said correspondent mentions
Bell, Davis, Potter and Bailey of Gaines
vile, Pickett of Decatur, Mstlock Of
Montague, Lakewood and Lewis Of
Henrietta, Carroll Of Denton, ThIockmor-
ton and Mack of Mckinney, and gently
comedies the nomination and election Of
ex Governor Thronckmorton II he de-
sires to return to Congress. 1t Is likely
that County Attorney Randall will CON
test for the honors and will mike aghard
fight to secure the nomination. 1t f..
kelly, also, as the ball has been openedia
dozen or more candidates will bob up
serenely and drop out OF sight, snd If
Throckmorton don't want 1t the office
will not go begging, but the liveliest tus-
sic ever had in this district may be ex-
pected.
Saermsn Coufier: General Henry E.
McCuIloch OF Austin, has announced
himself candidate for State Treasurer
He will give "Uncle Frank" strong
tussel.
Bolton Journal: "AlI things come to
him who waits" says the German prov
erb. Therefore Dick Harrison prefers to
wait.
Dallas Times Herald: When the time
comes to select 9 Lieutenant Governor
the work will not be in selecting man fiji
for Lieutenant Governor, but in finding one
who would make good Governor. And
vet Sui Ross is strong and healthy and his
DAYS promise to be long in the land. The
state ought to be particular in the selec-
ton of Lieutenant Governor. OF courss5
the Democratic convention this year picks
out the men for the place and it should
give 8 good desl of thought to the work.
Ross will be elected Governor. He is in
fine health, but then a man shoula be Sc
lected for the Lieutenant Governorship
who is qualified to administer the affairs
of the state il called on. Aud he might
be called on.
