The New York Post is constrained by the
facts to confess that the personnel of the
New York Republican State ticket is Supe-
rior to that of the Democratic, and it even
goes so far as to advise the voter who wishes
to support either ticket entire to select the
Republican. The chief objection the Post
finds to the ticket lies in the alleged fact that
the convention which nominated it was dom
ineered over by "Boss Platt." The Post has
BOSS Platt' on the brain. The fact that he
is favorable to ticket has much the same
effect upon it that Mugwump support Of
Republican candidate has ON some Republi-
can voters.

Probably the motive Of the Washington
Post in making charges of favoritism and
other improprieties against the civil service
commission is to discredit the civil service
law. But even if they be true it is hard to
see how they can have that effect. In
proper conduct by officials is common
enough, but nobo iy thinks of it as discredit-
Ing the laws. Furthermore there is good
reason to believe that there is nothing in the
charges, and that an investigation will show
that such is the case.

The new ballot law of Tennessee, which
was modification of the Australian system,
has been declared unconstitutional on the
ground that iiliterates are DISTINGUISHED by
it. Most of the new election laws modelled
after the Australian system contain pro-
vision which authorizes the election officers
to assist the illiterate to mark the ballot, but
the Tennessee law lacked this provision. The
decision in nowise affects the essential fea-
lures of the Australian system. None of
these are declared unconstitutional.

gestions OF last year in reference TO To.

The board says that the operatives of a
railroad are, in the prrctical relations

TEXAS WEATHER.
Cloudy With Rain for Couple of Days-A
Probable Norther.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. 19.-An area
of high barometer overlies districts east
of Mississippi where the weather is gen
orally fair. On the borders of this area
of high barometer west of the Mississippi
river the weather is generally cloudy and
threatening, with snow in NortheEp Min
nesota, Dakota and Nebraska, Colorado
and New Mexico. A depression which
exhibits considerable energy appears TO
be developing in Southern New Mexico.
This storm area viii probably move north
east during the next forty eight hours,
causing more or less rain or snow in
all districts west of the Mississippi valley
and later in the central valleys and lake
region As outlined in the report of Fri
day morning the conditions favor cloudy
weather and rain III Texas to-day and to-
morrow, followed on Monday or Tuesday
by colder air, which may be felt in the
northern and western portions by Sunday
night The conditions rather favor snow
in some portions of the state following
the rainy period and accompanying a
probable norther.
