Gatesville Post: ExalI 81 little boomlet
has subsidized. It is well.
Bosque citizen: If Attorney General
Hogg is to be battle whanged and bas-
tinadoed by the leading daily papers and
pretentious politicians in the interests of
the railroads for enforcing the laws and
compelling cormOrants TO disgorge prop
critics illegally and unholily wrested and
held from the people, there viii come
along ground swell Of popular indigna-
ton that will land him just where these
worthless do not wish TO see him.
San Antonio Times: The Times takes
but little stock in the discussion of CUB
ernatorial candidates. satisfied as
Democratic journal to support the man
whoever ne may be that shall be honored
with the nomination by the state Demo-
cratic convention. But it eonfesses to a
morbid interest to see how the proposed
candidacy Of Hon. j W. Throckmorton
will be received by the friends and par
tisan followers of the Hon. r. b. Hub
bard. In the dim long age-but not so
long ago that it has been forgotten
these gentlemen were rival candidates
for the Democratic nomination. The
history of that brief but spirited can
politics. And Sir Dick and his friends
are credited with having good memories
and with being excellent haters.
Dallas Times Herald: There Is no
boom for Exali. But there is a steady
and quiet growth of sentiment IN favor
of some able, conservative, prudent
and progressive business man for our
next governor. The politicians may go
ahead, but they need not be surprised if
they should be rejected by the state con-
vention and a new man nominated
The Jefferson Iron News says:
Hon. Henry Exsn possesses rare qualifica-
tions for the office of governor of Texas.
Besides being one of the pOitest gentlemen in
the state he has talent and business tact of the
highest order He would appear well as his
excelency.
Tyler Record: If the Hon. J. w.
ThrockmJrton is to be a candidate for
governor, as we might suppose from the
loud mouthedness of his friends, may we
not be permitted to inquire the nature
and cause of his candidacy. Upon what
issues will his hope OF success be based?
Texas is entirely too big state and there
are too many capable men in it to think
of electing q man governor on his per-
sonal popularity. The people cannot
afford to select governor for the sake
of 1.-The man. The selection must be
made for the sake of the coun-
try. That Col Throckmorton is
good man is admitted; that he Is an able
man no one questions. But these things
do not altogether qualify a man to be
governor. With what important issue is
he connected? Issues, not men, must
win. With all due Difference TO that
estlmable gentleman 8 personal qualIfi
cations and popularity, we do not re-
member that he has been identified with
any important issue Of our state govern
ment for many years. In our humble
opinion the times are most propitious TO
adopt ISSUES aud not men TO the fore
with issues. Men should make issues be-
fore they should win.
Marlin Ball: Speaking about guber-
material timber, what is the matter with
w. w. Lang? He is all right.
Terrell Star: AS to Attorney General
Hogg, we know him personally, and he
is not such a man as our contemporary
tries to class him. Heis conscientious
man; he has made a good attorney-gen-
eral and Will make good governor.
While the question of who viii be nomi-
mated for governor of Texas next year
and for the presidency in 1892 is not
botherihg us, yet we think ''Hill of
New York and Hogg of the plney
woods are both all right.
Goldthwaite Mountaineer: The course
of Attorney General Hogg seems to puz-
zle some persons. 1t Is assumed that he
has aspirations to be governor of Texas,
and they are at loss to conceive why he
antagenizes elements that have power to
do much towards defeating his ambition.
1t does not appear TO them that he is dis
charging his sworn duty regardless of |
results to himself. 1t is not improbable |
that he is making record that viii |
naturally make him the standard bearer
of the anti monopolists in the next cam
paign.
