together is of no little Importance, as it
relieves the governor of a fire in the
rear, while the grangers will be assured
by their most distinguished leader that
Thrcckmorton is all right - Terrell
Times.
The Mesquiter Is opposed to Throck-
morton for governor and says it knows
something. Maybe it does, but the
Mesquiter will have hard time trying to
convince the people of Texas that it
knows anything damaging to Throck-
morJon's character and standing as q
statesman and politician. Throckmor-
ton is ali o. X Lancaster Herald.
The Hon J.. w Throckmorron would make
one OF the best governors Texas has ever had
Seymour CTessett.
The Cressett speaks from the records,
and makes no blind guess-work licks i'll
the dark. We tried ThrOckmortOn as
governor just few months in 1867, and
he did so well the little time he was in
that we want to try him full term of
two years - Decatur Post.
Lieutenant Governor Wheeler is an
astute politician, keeping his own coun-
sci on subjects that agitate the public
mind until he sees clearly the direction
the feline will take in its vaulting move
ment. That he would not reject the
gubernatorial persimmOn IS acknowl-
edged, but as yet the track is somewhat
dim, and he does not want to waste his
strength on a false start GOldthwaite
Mountaineer.
Some of our exchanges are very fond
of saying Hogg cooked his gubernatorlal
goose when he ruled that the trust law
applied to farmers as well as other peo-
pie. They seem TO put very low esti-
mate on the intelligence of farmers when
they assume that farmers don't know
that Hogg didn { enact the trust law and
had nothing to do with it. Farmers as
we'll as others want governor who will
enforce the law; Hogg seems to be built
that way = Karnes County News.
The Cors1oana Daily Courier has
'schanged its base' in speaking of the
gubernatorial chair, from Throckmorton
to Seth Sheppard upon the grounds that
the old Democratic war horse is too old
and feeble TO be planted at the head
of the states affairs. The Review has
no objections to the Courier 5 candidate
but it does not believe it an opportune
time to bring the honorable Seth before
the people Of Texas for governor -
Athens Review.
Concerning the rumOr that Maj. Hay
wood Brahan will be a candidate for
comptroller, the Houston Post says that
he would be an aWfully hard man to
beat Maybe so, under ordinary condi-
tions, yet what sort of chance would he
stand against Mccall? The Express
blows nobody's horn, and has no favorite 4
for governor, but it is a believer in civil
service reform. 1t will stick to Mccall
for comptroller and Workman for treas
urer because they are both men who
have worked their way and have de-
served the positions by honesty, sobriety,
faithfulness and competency = San An
tonic Express,
The Galveston News publishes a long
editorial on third teTmism. The mean
ing is shrouded in the splendid mistiness
which chaTacteriZes the utterances of |
that paper, but, as well as can be made |
out, 1t would like to see Ross in the |
guberEatorial chair for two years more.
The governor has plainly and unequiv- !
cally declared that he will not, under |
any circumstances again become q can
didate. He is not a brilliant man but |
he speaks and writes plain English, and |
has moreover the reputation of mean |
ing what he says. This being so, it |
would appear that the News is using up /
space to little urpose.-[San Antonio
Express.
The San Antonio Express warns certain |
Texas newspapers to go slow on David B |
Hill as the next nominee for president, |
unless they want to eat crow. The Day |
does not belong to the list of those VINO |
need caution. We prefer some other /
leader, but Hill has two good qualities |
which recommend him. First, he is /
every inch a Democrat; second, he can /
carry the electoral vote of New York, |
without which victory in 1892 is out of the /
question. Besides, his candidacy will |
bring the party back from its free trade |
tendency to some consideration of more |
modern view Of the tariff question, for
he is q protectionist and believes that |
principle should be fairly preserved in all
of the revenue system Il Waco |
Day.
Several papers have favorably men
toned the name of Hon. j. O. Terrell of |
this city IN connection with the nominal
ton for lleutenant-go next year, a
position which he does not seek, but /
would fill acceptably, and that would be
honored by his occupancy. Mr.. Terrell
