The New York Times, an indeper
dent republican paper, figures GU
that the democrats will have a ma
jority of ninety in the next nations
house of representatives. This i
why the poor old republican part
crashes its teeth and wants to pas
the force bill.
The Tyler Democrat and Repor
ter, which was a staurch advocate
of ex-Gov. Hubbard for congress
comedies his defeat by Kilgore ant
asserts that there is not another dis

nd a religious ard political fanatic
nd prohibitionist, died at his home

lfanous and base caricatures on
ne Southern people.
The prospectus for the San An
onio fair is out and contains many
lteresting features. As the fair is
be held several weeks earlier this !
ear than it has been held hereto
IRE, it will no doubt be a much |
reater success. Coming after the
alias fair, as it did last year, and
a time when the late fall rains are
ost apt to set in the chances here
fore have been against its success.
