CLEVELAND AT THE BANQUET.

CLEVELAND AT THE BANQUET.
Upon no previous occasion of hi;
life did Mr.. Cleveland exhibit his won.
drous power of inspiring enthusiasm
and all the traits of a great intel
lectual leader than at the Thurman
banquet. Here were assembled the
chieltains of the Democratic party all
over the country. Men eminent for
their distinguished public services, and
who control the party and public
opinion in their various sections, and
they unanimously and tacitly ac-
knowledged Cleveland as their leader
and the coming man in 1S92-the
man to lead us to victory in that great
contest.
When Mr.. Springer of Illinois, in his
graceful address on the power of the
press in shaping political events, al
luded to Cleveland as the Democratic
leader two years from now that vast
assemblage of Democratic leadership
went wild with applause, and they I'M
doubtedly represented the great body
OF the party, whatever changes in
Democratic sentiment may take place
between now and the meeting of the
convention in 1892. The opinion at
the banquet seemed to be that Cleve-
land, by his boldness as a tariff reform
leader, made the late avalanche posi-
BILE and gives equal assurance of the
complete overthrow of protection in
1892.

victory, whether it be complete or
only partial.
More than this, Governor Hill has
developed into a national leader. He
has broadened as politician and risen
to higher plane as statesman. His
intellectual grasp of the tariff and
other national questions and bis power
of cogent and convincing argument
upon them were illustrated to his
great advantage in his speeches in
Ohio, West Virginia and Connecticut
this year.
Governor Hill would stand in the
senate as the leading representative of
the great political revolution of this
year, in which he has borne so con-
spicious part. He would be also a
faithful and worthy senator of the
state of New York, whose interests he
has guarded so well.
If the Democrats would have the
votes there should be no question OF
the election of David B. Hill as sena-
tor,

WHAT OF GOVERNOR HILLp

Governor Hill of New York now
holds peculiarly important position
in national politics. He is not only
the governor of the state which of all
others in the union the Democracy
wants in 1892, but he is an exceed
ingly popular governor with the poll
ticians of that state. Not only so, lie
has by his campaign speaking in
Ohio and ether states this year
earned debt of gratitude from those
states and the Democratic party at
large. Next to Cleveland he is more
particularly in the eye OF his party
than any other of its members. For
this reason it is important
to watch his future movements. Will
he next year stand for an election to
the United States senate, or will he
run for third term, or will he quietly
retire from Office? Will he go to the
senate, defy the precedent that no
United States senator was ever elected
president, and also run the chances
OF making some senatorial blunders
and because of New York appoint
ments alternating influence there? Will
he strengthen his position and claim
upon a presidential nomination by
trying to increase his majority in New
York on third trial for the governor
shipY Or lastly will he, content with
what ne has accomplished and assured
of his following, quietly lapse back
into private life until he shall
be called to the front in 1892? These
are the questions that are stirring up
from the bottom New York state and
that may have a most important ma
tional bearing. The New York World
thus puts itself on record:
The possibility that the legislature
of this state will be democratic upon
joint ballot is one of the most crafty
ing surprises of the elections.
If the hope shall be realized it can
have but one just and logical result
the election of Gov. Hill to the United
States senate.
The Democratic victory in this
State is due to Governor Hill more
than to any other man, 1t is he who
has conducted with unsleeping vigi-
lance and rare sagacity, for many
years, the contest against a Republi-
can legislature. 1t is he who has out
lined, organized and led the campaigns
OF the Democratic party in this State.
He is entitled to the honors of the

THE SOUTH AND WEST.

An editorial, printed in this morn.
ing's dispatches from the Farmers
Advocate, the official organ OF the
Alliance, which carried Kansas at the
polls last week, is significant and I'M
doubtedly representative of the drift
of sentiment in the great and growing
west.
That the farmers are aroused against
the domination of tariff monopoly is
evidenced by the late avalanche. That
they mean strict business in 1892 is
just as apparent; nor is it less prob
able the west will Join hands with the
south, as recommended by the Advo-
cate in naming the president. Every
good citizen will say amen to the cry
of the Alliance organ, "Down with
sectionalism," but we cannot go so far
as the Advocate in erecting upon the
ruins of sectionalisn between the
north and south sectional barrier
between the east and west.
Nor in wrenching the government
from the greedy grasp OF monopoly,
the money power and the tariff fiend
would we 60 to the other extreme as
suggested by the Advocate and make
it government for the farmers and
laborers alone. Capital is as neces-
sary to our prosperity as labor, nor is
it to the interest Of the country to
destroy but only to curb corporate
power and restrain within proper
bounds. What the country needs is
equal tariff taxation adapted to the
needs of the government and no more,
and the wiping out of sectionalism
and sectional prejudice as the Advo-
cate desires. But these ends will
never be accomplished by erecting the
Farmers Alliance into q separate
and independent party, which
would simply defeat itself and
the Democratic party in 1892 by d.
viding forces that must be united TO
achieve success. The proper policy is
for the farmers to work inside the
Democracy which has for quarter OF
century championed their interests.
AS indicated by the Kansas organ the
union of the farmers OF the South and
West would make their forces irwin
chile but not unless they march I'M
der one national banner-the Demo
cratic flag

THE SPEAKERSHIp.

Candidates for the speakership OF
the next house are being brought for
ward, and the Now Orleans Picayune,
alluding to the subject, says:
$50 far the most prominent South
ern candidates for the speakership
have been Crisp, OF Georgia, and Mills,
of Texas. The former has many
riends in the house who believe that
his ability, as we'll as parliamentary
knowledge and experience, peculiarly
thin for the position, while the latter
has acquired notoriety by the author
ship of the Mills bill, whose merits the
popular condemnation of the McKin-
ley bill have brought again into prom
inence. Besides, Mr.. Mills has done
a great deal of campaigning during
the recent contest, and many of the
new members of the house are likely
to feel that they were indebted in a
great measure for their success to
his efforts in their behalf, and would
accordingly feel disposed to support
his claims for the speakership."

POLITICAL STATUS OF THE COUNTY

POLITICAL STATUS OF THE COUNTY
An analysis of the vote at the re-
cent election shows that Travis county
is safely Democratic by 1000 major-
ity, Notwithstanding the aspersions
against it in the past as Gun
reliably Democratic" Taking the
Mccall and Westhof vote as fair
representative of the two parties, the
Democrats in the county have a ma
jority of 2,171 out of total vote of
5,9l9. Westhoff polled 1874 votes,
which is about the Republican
strength in the county, against 4,O45
cast for Mccall, the Democratic poll.
There can be no doubt about the
political status of any county rolling
up such majority. And not only is
the county safely Democratic, but
the majority is largely increased over
the Ross vote two years ago.
while the total vote was
much lighter. The Democrats
elected by the majority above
given not only the state but the
county tickets, the latter with two or
three exceptions. But Brown, for
county clerk, Independent, had his
immense majority in 1883 cut down
to 244, and Morris, county collector.
was razed down to 219.
The candidacy of these gentlemen
was on personal not partisan lines,
and thei" election over the regular
Democratic nominees cannot affect
the proposition that Travis is a safely
Democratic county, nor can the cleo
ton of Anderson, Republican, over
Pitts, Democrat, for treasurer, be taken
as evidence of the Democratic unrelia
bility of the county. Her political
status is emphatically Democratic,
which she is not likely to change in
the near future.

"By the way" he said, at has come

company are hostile to the proposed

being true, whatever we can do to
facilitate the building of that road
will be most cheerfully done. I be-
lieve street railroads make towns, and

them in Austin. Our company has
come here to build up, not tear down,
and Austin will have our very best
work. You can say this, and l mean

to remain for any length of time

On this afternoon he sat still for an
hour reading a paper, then, unable to
remain longer in his seat, he stepped

two. AS he did so there was the re-
port of revolver, followed by the
crash OF a window pane, and the phit
