THE republicans have nominated for presi- dent Benjamin Harrison of Indiana, ex U. s. senator, who went into the war a lieutenant colonel and came out a general-an able, clean and modest man. For vice-presidency, Levi P. Morton, a well-known business man of New York City. MT. Morton has been member of congress and minister to France, and has in former years been offered the nomination to the vice-presidency. He was also offered by President Garfield place in his cabinet, as secretary of the navy.
 LIGHTNING never strikes twice in the same place. Don't it? Last Saturday evening L. D. Ide's carriage shop at East Wilmington was fired by bolt A crowd of men were trying to save the engine when another bolt struck the burning building, prostrating sev- era1 men. One who was in the stream dip ping water was unconscious for long time. MT. Ide, who wore rubber boots, was almost the only man who was not affected. The others thought the place was getting too hot for them and left. MT. Ide remained, and soon third bolt struck into the ruins Dur ing the same shower bolt struck at MT. Ide's house near by, hitting the screen door.

 PARTY platforms are generally diplomatic, meaningless, or ambiguous. But the Chicago platform of 1888 is certainly plain enough. The Springfield Ex-Republican thinks it is.
 UNDOUBTEDLY Blaine would have been the nominee of the Chicago convention had not such action been forbidden by the Spring field Ex-Republican-and by MT. Blaine.
 Now, who is thele that did not believe that MT. Blaine was sincere in writing his letter of declination? His friends certainly did, but some of these to the last hoped to induce him to recant. The least hint that he had done so would have made him candidate with hurrah, but those who know him best knew that his decision was final

FARMERS complain that between high wages and low prices of hay there is little profit in the crop. Of course the way to make the crop pay is to feed it on the farm, and put the manure upon the land. We need local creamery to make profitable the keeping of COWS, and to relieve the farmers wife of the laborious drudgery of butter making, which can be done better and at less cost upon large scale.

AN SUSPICIOUS BEGINNING

Without sny other means OF finding out
one would soon come to know that this
is national campaign year by reading
the debates in Congress and noting the
acrimonious tone at which they are pitch
ed. The triangular contest between Vest,
ingalls, and Blackburn il the Senate is q
good beainnipg, and shows hot work
ahead. The three ere good takers and
competent to 90 their work.
Senator Vest began it two or three days
ago by speech sgainst the pauper pension
bill, which he wrecked beyond repair.
Incidentally, he humorously rubbed the
skin of of some OF the Republican candi-
dates for the Presidency, by describing an
auction st which they were bidding for
the soldier vote by Offering the public
funds in the shape of pensions. Sherman,
Allison, Cullom and Ingalls, came in for
skinning, and they all stood it meekly
enough except the Kansas Senator, who
put in his time yesterday in showing how
bad it hurt him, and tried to get even by
reviling President Cleveland and ques-
tioning the loyalty Of the Democratic
leaders, among them. some of those from
Kentucky.
This brought Senator Blackburn into
the fray, with his teeth fled and spiked
collar around his neck. When he got
through with the Kansas Senator there
WAS nothing left but some shreds and a
bad smell.
And so the campaign begins. The
smaller politicians will take up the fight
where their leaders direct, and soon from
every stump we shall hesr that the south
is perpetual threat to the Union, and
that the country is on the verge of ruin,
and will topple over If the Democratic
party ID successful. Unnindful of the
lessons Of past defeat, the Republicans
will make 8 bloody shirt campaign, and
trey will lose,fo after four years Of pros
perity under a Democratic administra-
ton 1t will be harder than ever TO make
men think that there can be any danger
from Democratic supremacy.

Gazette Interviews Stick
Dallas Times Herald

The Times Herald stated 8 few days
ago that Mr.. John F. Elliott had unequi-
vocally denied the interview ascribed to
him in the Fort Worth GAZETTE. Mr..
Elliott now denies that he denied the in
terview. The word "unequivocally" was
used by the Times-Herald man as the
only word that would convey the impress
sion left on the mind of the Times Herald
man by Mr.. Eiliott's talk TO him. bis
exact words are forgotten. But Whist
ever they were, they impressed both the
Times Herald man and Mr.. W. j.
Walter, who was present, with the
idea that Elliott had not been interviewed
st all. So great was this impression that
the TWO spoke Of it Wnen they had left
Mr.. Elliott. More than this, Mr.. Elliott
At the time suggested that the matter be
left alone Snd the Times Hersld man re-
piled, mo, want to vlndicate your The
whole thing amounts to nothing and it
would not be mentioned again were 1t
not for the fact that the psper is plsced
in the attitudei of Misrepresentation. It
misrepresents no fact. II Elliott was
misrepresented 1t was his fault alone in
not being more specific.

sanction TO acts Of violence. Let every
man take the vindication OF his rights,
and the redress of his grievances, or the
punishment Of offenses into his own
hands, regardless OF the laws II
the land, which are at once the
standard to define the limit Of his liber-
ties and the guardian TO defend them, and
the result will be that esch man will be
alrayed in deadly strife sgainst the
others, to the possible extent If exter-
mination, it may be. The first thing to
do in this world is to be right, and to
plant ourselves in a position OF which we
can stand in sunshine and in storm, and
while Forsythe WAS certainly guilty Of an
set stamped by Deity with the worst seal
and signet, cannot see by what method
of reasoning the good people of Pamela
county while earnestly protesting obedi-
encs to law and order, could persuade
themselves into an attempt to measure
out retaliation IS recompense of his
crime in due proportion to its extent.
This was not only futile, but g usurpstion
OF the powers belonging Only to an All
wise and All-powerful Being. Punish
ment is not to be administered by way Of
vengeance. If their seton is claimed to
have been ID the interest of just punish
ment for crime which otherwise would
have gone without punishment there is
some measure of excuse. But an right
minded men, when passion has Gained,
must see that this is anarchy, pure and
simple, and that the dearest rights of
their community and society would be
sacrificed for its prevalence"

fux of capital, and healthy state Of
affairs financislly, in which al sections
will share.
A comparison of the results of THE
GALETTE's Investigations with the egrI-
cultural reports Of other ststes and terri
tories will demonstrate the superiority Of
West and Northwest Texas over them al
as growing region, and clesrly in
dicate that at no distant date these sec
lions must become the chief gransries of
tie world. The superiority of this
district for stock-growing pur-i
poses hiss long since been conceded by
practical stockmen. Its ricn native
grasses and mild and equable climate are
points Of advantage which leave it IN
rivslled in this respect. The rspid
growth Of the stock farming industry,
coupled with its gradual absorption CT the
range interests, is sure precursor Of a
future in which the Panhandle ard West
Texas will be the largest and most i'm
portsnt beef-producing districts in the
Union.
To exhibit in 8 carefully prepared snd
conservative publication sll material facts
relating to the Panhandle and West Texas
is the task which THE GAZETTE has as
sumed. 1t has never been attempted be-
fore. The slight attention which has
been psid to this section in the past, both
by official and individual publications,
purporting to represent the entire state
has done much to cultivate erroneous
and mlschieEous ideas as to It's
character. II 1t is to receive c due
share in the benefits Of the immigration
movement which promises SO much Of
good to Texas, these must be removed.
I. is believed that Hething will do this
more effectually than candid and COM
prehensive statement oft3cts and figures
about each industry, interest and re-
source-such as THE GAZETTE is prepar-
ing to send abSesd. g
It is confidently expected that the
people of the section to- which
this edition will be devoted will heartily
cooperate in giving it . circulation Of
100000 copies, making it the best and
most widely circulated advertisement Of
their country ever issued from printing
press.
A limited space will be devoted to
special descriptions of cities and towns.
Correspondence is solicited from local

A Change Desirable.
Houston Post.


There are indications that the present
system Of hsrbor improvements is losing
the confidence, and consequently the
favor, of many who formerly supported it.
The results obtained from the enormous
expenditures have, to say the least, been
uns. tlsfsctory, while in some instances
they have been positively discouraging,
and hence there arises q demand, which
is not by any means confined TO one quar-
ter of Texas, for change that Will more
nearly meet the reasonable expectations
OF the public. The measure recently in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Cullom Of
Illinois and in the House by MIR. Brock
inridge OF Arkansas synopsis of which
is printed elsewnere-sims NJ q reform IL
this matter, aad is therefore deserving OF
consideration. It cOntemplstes q total
&bClltion OF the expensive "driblet"
practice, which the government haF long
been following without receiving bene-
fIs, except in few instances, of any last
ing character, and provides that no
money shall be expended for hsrbor i'm
provement unless the sum appropriated,
be sufficient for the completion Of tie
work. This, it appears to the Post, Is
Just such measure az is needed, and
one TO which there should be little or mo-
objection. But it would be marvellous. II,
1t did not encounter stubborn opposition
when 1t comes up for action for the river
and harbor appropriation bill has been
too helpful to members Of Congress in the
way of securing reelection TO suppose
that they will voluntarily reIirq uish it
Thelpeople, however should bring TO besr
pressure upon their representatives and
compel the replacement CT the present
with a method that promises better re-
turns. The misunderstanding meas
ure is not intended and will not iDjure
the chances OF any port that is deemed
worthy the name. On the contrary, it
appears to have been framed for the p4r
pose Of properly improving all such, and
at the same time with the view Of cutting
off those creeks and streams that are OF
no value whatever to the commerce of
the country.
