The Lone Star News says ''Texas owes
the Hon James w. Throckmorton debt, and
she will pay that debt in November by electIng
him GOVERNOR That ia the veriest nonsense,
to talk Of the state owing him debt because the
carpet-bag government removed him from the
once OF governor. II he claims anything Tor
this act he certainly has been amply repaid by
the people electing him to congress as long as he
would have the Office A debt, indeedI He is

IF the Democrats of the Third congressional
district permit the retirement of Col. Kilgore
they should be ex cused from further service IN
tn eparty ranks. They have surely not reached
such pitch of madness as to throw overheard

Some of orr confreres are badly put to
it in their advocacy of candidates, and worse SO
| in seeking items of opposition against the gal
| to the railroad lobbyists Just now Mr: Hogg is
| being howled at because lalely at Val Verde he
recovered ninety-six sections of land illegally
| issued to the Galveston, Houston and San An
| tonic railway for sidngs. For public officer to
| be scourged because of doing his duty, and be-
cause of being successful in doing it, is reyela-
| ton worthy, if not characteristic, of the
| Blanche-Tray and Sickem style of the pack on
| the heels of Mr.. Hogg. The Office of attorney,
|
| has been kind of graceful attachment to the
| gubernatorial staff. Mr.. Hogg, by his strong
| individuality and stern integrity, has revolu'

| his administration that the people, with rare
| unanimity have called upon him to come uI
| higher. Bless God, he has accepted the invita-

state as faithful its governor as he has as its

Hon. J. n. Rushing of Baird in pub
lished card in the Baird Star. declines to be,

district in the twenty second legislature, but
promises his aid cheerfully TO Hon. b. r.
Webb in the race for attorney general. Killing
two birds with one stone is still the fashion
reversing the rule, however, in this instance tt
this extent, it knocks down one and knocks VI
the other. Rushing would make valuable rep
resentative for the Forty-third, but Webb does
not carry a long enough pole to reach the at
torney- generaIship.-L Eastla-4d Chronicle.
Hon. B. r. Webb might not be able t.

should he decide to become candidate, but /
would not be for any want of legal ability o.
ANYTHING of the kind, for he is undoubtedly tn

| Chronicle does not say why Judge Webb woul
| fail to secure the nomination, but we will sa
