CASTING SHADOWS.

Throckmorton g friends are not talk
ing and blowing much in Kaufman county, but
when the time comes for action they will out
number the average candidates friends Ter
rell Register.
Hogg has sent ont appointments over
the state for speaking, or rather for the purpose
of giving the people a chance to know what he
IS. We know enough about him already to give
our support to Throckmorton.- Ennis Local.
The Mirrors argument against
Workman for state treasurer is knocked skyhigh
by Uncle Frank Lubbock's letter in the same
issue: It's fitness and true honesty we want,
and Workman is the embodiment OF both.
Workman for treasurer Il Ennis Local.
The San Antonio Express, an ardent
Clark paper, says that Mr.. Throckmorton's
candidacy will be useful in locking the con-
vention. We wonder, now, if Mr.. Clark feels
that way about Effort Worth Mail.
George CLARK. be is not asking the people for
anything and don't want to be governor.-LDen-
ton Times.
Are the farmers, especially members of
the Alliance, going to support Gen. Hogg for
governor? II they don't, they should never say
anything more against monopolies. Gen. Hogg
is one officer in thousand that has dared to
throw himself squarely in the break and antag-
to respect the law, thus bringing down upon his
mead the eternal anathema OF soulIess corpora
tons Win the people stand by him or will
they desert him? We predict for Limestone
county that she will go the whole Hogg. AS for
ourself, we will support Gen. Hogg, even if the
immortal Sam Houston should be resurrected
and run against him.-IT. Bennett in Me1ia
Ledger.
If anyone thinks Dick Hall will have
walkover this year for land commissioner, let
inn mr. bafo he
begin to bloom ira Ia Dick has filed his mis-
sion of general utility to railroad and cattle syn
dicates, and the next head of that important de-
partment will be representative of the peoples
interests. THIS is simply predic ton and not
threat:-LFarmers' Review.
Brother Gass must be casing He must
have on his near by'' and not 'far off, glasses
If he could see 100 yards ahead of him, he ought
to know that Dick Hall would succeed himself
as land commissioner of Texas. He viii! hold
the Office again for the very good reason that the
people are satisfied with his administration and
want hlm.-LDenton Times.
Among the candidates prominently be-
fore the people for governor, there is one
whose name is a household word in Texas-one
who has imbedded himself in the hearts of the
good and true for his unfinching devotion to
the principles OF the Democratic faith. With
out any disparagement to either of the other
pronounced candidates in the field. ThrockmOr-
ton is eminently man of the people, Jealous
in his patriotism and courageous in his convic-
IL,
our contemporaries have said but is in splendid
health and at his best in intellectual vigor. He
has mossback ideas parsimonious
views upon public policy. The bent of
his mind is progressive, while every fiber of his
nature is rooted in fixed principles OF human
rights and just conceptions of human law. He
would not barter his soul-life of truth pa
triotic purposes for any office within the gift of
the people. This is true portraiture OF his
character as drawn by intimate friends who
know him best and love the man above the
politician. This is eulogy in support of Can
didate Throckmorton, but just conception of
He is as true as the needle to the pole. He is an
honor to our state and the country Texas
Iron News.
The following named gentlemen have
been prominently mentioned in connection with
the gubernatorial canvass: Hogg, Wheeler,
Throckmorton, Exall, Swearingen, Tom Brown
and Seth Shepard. The first three named have
distinctly announced that they are candidates,
while the remainder are debating the advis-
ability of ''shying their castors into the ring
also. While all these are prominent
ones in the states politics, possess ability for
filling almost any position in the gift OF the
people and are Democrats the people love to
honor yet none of these reach our ideal for this
responsib BILE position at this time. The Graphic's
ideal man for governor of this great
state is Hon, r. B. Hubbard, the
statesman in whom there is guile. Hubbard
and Coke were towering names in this state and
led the party to victory when Texas was wrested
from Republican misrule, and Dick Hubbard
would make q governor to-day worthy of the
progress Texas is making in material develop
ment and political power. Not those who seek
office, but those whom the people call, are the
ones who should rule over Texas and Hubbard
is not seeking he position referred to; but it is
not too late to cali him before the tootlig hts.-
