An Incident of the Celebration at Johnstown
Last Fourth.

Last Fourth.
"This time year ago things were differ

he was waiting for his train at the Union
station last night. Last Fourth 1 was
at Johnstown celebrating the day by shoot
ing off 200 and 800 pound charges of dy-
Mantle trying to open up the Conemaugh
river. We had such celebration that
General Hastings ordered US to make the
charges lighter for fear we would blow
down what was left OF the town.
81 remember one incident during the hot
work that always makes me smile. After
setting off an unusually large blast trying
to dislodge some heavy trees, and shaking
everything within half mile or so, the
boys wanted me to put in all the dynamite
and set it of. While such display would
no doubt be an interesting sight, did not
think it was the proper thing on such an
occasion and had to forego it. will spend

after he is elected. They declare
that the position of the pope there

ance that such schemes will be de-

introduced by Congressman Butter
worth, of Ohio, defining options and

morality, fairness and justice to the
farmers, does not congress enact a
law to suppress such gambling tran
sactions? Next to the robber tariff
the greatest amount of distress in

Notwithstanding that John J.

eighteen years in the United States
senate, it is a difficult matter for
his constituents to point to single
measure he has ever championed in
the interest of the great agricultural
and laboring element of Kansas, and
that we will not support by our
votes or influence any candidate for
the legislature who favors his re-
election to the United States senate.

The Tyler Courier publishes a
breezy editorial article on the recent
speech of Gerald at Waco, and
charges that George Clark was the
instigator of the attack. As to the
motive of the attack, the Courier
says:
Mr.. Clark is dangerously proud of
his title as "Warwick" of Texas, and
it is source of inefabIe pleasure to
him to stir up passionate issues in
order to assassinate aspiring men.
Clark is unfriendly to Mr.. Hogg and
lukewarm on Mr.. Throckmorton and
he hopes, by creating an issue of
this character to bring out an anti
commission man and run him upon
that platfom-thus not only butch
ering two good men but making of
an issue that should be relegated to
the calm, unbiased and conservative
thought of the people, an appeal to
the prejudices and passions of the
rabble.
R. Fl. Kingsbury, Jr., of Waco,
has announced as a candidate for
the legislature before the democratic
convention on the Coke issue
brought forward by Judge Gerald.

THE GUBERNAToRIAL SUCCESSION.

THE GUBERNATORIAL SUCCESSION.
The announcement from Austin
last week that AttorneY-Gen
Hogg would soon begin his canvass
of the state for the governorship
and the published list of the places
which he would visit and the dates
on which he would address the peo-
pie on the public issues of the day,
is likely to precipitate the campaign
and to bring matters to focus in a
few weeks. From the beginning
there appears to have been a dispo-
sition to regard ex-Gov. Throckmor-
ton and Mr.. Hogg as the only can
didates for the Office whose claims
demand consideration, and as be-
tween them there appears to be on
the part of great many people a
feeling of apathy or Indifference,
which no doubt results from an i'm
preston that while these two gentle
men are the most prominent and
pronounced candidates, neither one
of them will receive the nomination,
and with them the main question
and absorbing issue is as to who
will be the most available dark
horse. The impression is gaining
ground everyday that neither
Throckmorton nor Hogg will re-
ceive the nomination. This is the
conclusion which the BANNER has az
rived at, and if we were asked to an
sver on the spur of the moment who
is the most available and probable
dark horse we would anwer, Hon.
Tom Brown, of Sherman. As the
BANNER has said before, it believes
that Hogg is the leading candidate
for governor and that he is the
choice of the farmers. But while
he is the most prominent candidate,
and may be even strong enough to
obtain majority in the convention
so long as the claims OF himself and
Throckmorton only are considered,
yet, believing justly or unjustly that
Mr.. Hogg is a demagogue, all of the
elements to him will be
found uncompromising and easy to
be united against him. Therefore,
under the two-thirds rule Hogg will
not be able to secure the nomina-
ton, and whenever the time comes
the opposition elements will center
on dark horse. The BANNERS rea-
son for believing that Hon. Thos. j.
Brown, of Grayson county, is the
most probable and available dark
horse is that he is prime fayorite
with the farmers, and if he were an
avowed candidate now Hogg would
be compelled to withdraw before
The convention meets. Mr.. Brown
,hampioned the cause of the farmers
N the last legislature, and was zeal
ous in the advocacy of everything
hat he believed to be to their inter
'sts. If Hogg's name should be
from the convention after
being Intellectually balloted upon
md Brown placed in nomination,
he Hogg strength would naturally
70 to him, and as Throckmorton
md he are old law partners and on
he most intimate of terms, it is al
most certain that the formers name
would be Immediately withdrawn
md Brown nominated unanimously
The farmers would thus be recon-
lied for the loss of Hogg, and
Fhrockmorton next to receiving the
nomination for himself would prefer
o see his old partner get it. Hon.
Chos. J. Brown was an old resident
md former citizen OF Washington
county and Brennan, and has many
riends still residing here who
would like to see him receive the
