CASTING SB4DOWS.

Ex-Governor J. W. ThTOckmOrtOn and
Attorney General Hogg are the most
prominently mentioned in connection
with the governorship. Either of them
would make a good governOr-but, in
case both are candidates, it is probable
| that neither will receive the nomination.
Canton Telephone.
The third term idea meets with but
little favor in Texas. Governor Ross
will be wise if be eschew the advice of his
too Jealous but indiscreet partisans. -
San Antonio Times.
Nobody that we have noticed has pro-
posed any one for state treasurer, unless
the mention of Statistic Foster by the
Mexia Ledger could be considered a men
ton. We want to name a gentleman for
the office, provided we can positively
learn that Uncle Frank Lubbock is at
last tired of handling the states money.

Mclean for congress- Titus Times.
Not so long as Old Dave Is in the field.
Coke, CulbersOn and Mills are three of
the most prominent members of the ma
tional congress, and in law Culberson
leads in the lower house. In fact, Gull
berson to-day is regarded as the ablest
lawyer IN congress. No swapping
horses in this district, the people won t
have it Sulphur Springs Enterprise.
1t is said the sheriffs of the state are
against Gen. Hogg, and that their in
fiuence will defeat him for the nominal
ton. 'Tis true they are a strong COM
binatiOn, but it s our opinion that they
will have their hands full looking after
their own interests, and will not be fools
enough to interfere with any other candi-
dates interest. We know that our own
dear sheriff Is that kind of a man. If he
runs for sheriff again you will find him
looking after that and letting the caudi-
dates for governor row their own boat -
McGregor Observer.
Some of the newspapers are endeavor-
ing to work up a Hogg boom for gov
ernor. Jim Hogg is in the proper place,
and where his patriotism and backbone
is most needed, and he should be kept
there = Caldwell News.
1t is early yet to talk about who shall
be the next governor of Texas, exceed
inglY, extremely early; but all over
Northwest Texas and the Panhandle and
in the office of the Pioneer q sentiment is
developing favorable to Hon. J. W.
Throckmorton If this section has the
say so, that gentleman will come very.
very near to getting there at the next
election. : TascOsa Pioneer.
The Victoria Advocate seems 20 regard
Ex-Governor Roberts as probable
gubernatorial candidate. The o. A. is
too well provided for to bother himself
with any political office. He knows
when he got enough. = Austin Dis
patch.
There are about fourteen names suggested as
probable candidates for governor of Texas. The
News wants it distinctly understood that the
man who succeeds Governor Ross will be a North
Texas man, North Texas has furnished the
Democratic votes that elected Democratic gov
small degree of courtesy. North Texas mas as
good material and as able men as any other part
of Texas. North Texas has been the pack horse
long enough, and it is time that her power
title her to full rights in the high offices of the
state The News is not selfish, nor does it wish
North Texas to show a selfish disposition, but il
does desire to see it demand what is its just dues
no more, no less Bonham News.
The News states q proposition nobody
has q right to cOntrovert. If sections
have anything to do with p0litics-and
they generally do-North Texas should
furnish the next governor; so we say trot
Maxev, and let North Texas stand by
him and he III go through too easy to talk
about - Weatherf0rd News.
"The man that beats Jim Hogg will be
the next governor of Texas. = Wills
Point Chronicle.
