CONGRESSMAN KILGORE.
What the Washington Critic Has to Say OF
the Representative From the Third
District.

The Washington Critic thus speaks Of
the denomination of Mr.. Kilgore:
The Hon. Constantine Buckley XII
gore, commonly called Chuck Kill
gore, of the Third Texas district, has
secured a majority to the delegates in
the Democratic congressional convention
of his district. kilograms received here
to-day state that he has succeeded in Sc
curing sixty-three delegates out of
eighty-two.
His opponent was Richard Hubbard,
better known as "Dick' Hubbard. He
was elected ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on the
same ticket with Senator Coke for gov
ernor, and when the latter was chosen
to the United States senate Hubbard
succeeded him as governor. He was q
candidate for nomination as governor.
His principal rival was ex-Reprssenta-
tive Throokmorton, who had been gov
ernor just after the war. The contest
became so hot that the convention
dropped them both and nominated o. NJ.
Roberts, who was known throughout
Texas as the "Old Alcade,' he having
held that office during the period of
Mexican domination in Texas. In 1884
Hubbard was made temporary chairman
of the convention at Chicago, which
nominated Governor Cleveland for pres
ident. After President Cleveland's in
sugurstion he appointed Hubbard
United States minister TO Japan, at a
salary Of S12, 800. He was retired last
year by President Harrison. He returned
home and at once began setting up the
pins to come to Congress. AS Texan
put it: ''He wanted Buck Klgore's
job" But he WON'T get It.
Mr.. Kilgore is q native OF Georgia,
ffty-flve years old. He was In the Con-
federate army during the war, and rose
from private to captain in the Tenth
Texas. Heletsr became adjutant-gen-
eral OF Ector's brigade, in the Army of
the Tennessee. He was wounded at
Chickamauga and taken prisoner, ing
confined at Fort Delaware. He is law
yer by profession. He was a member of
the state constitutional convention of
1875, was presidential elector in 1880,
was a memper of the state senate in
1884, and for two years was presi emit
pro tempore of that body, He was first
elected to the Fiftieth congress, and re-
elected TO the Fifty First. A Democratic
nomination in his district Is equivalent to
election,

THE handful of i-commissionists
asked the people to sit down on the COM
mission. What was the answer? An
emphatic no sir! They now ask the
delegates to go back on their instruo.
tions, to betray their trust and forfeit
the confidence of those who appointed
them, by refusing to indorse the COM
mission in the only authoritative way
possible, that is by plank in the plat
form. The gall of the average anti
commissioned would make Reed out OF
a milksop.

If THE Democratic party waited until
perfect unanimity could be had on the
subject of tariff reform, it would wait
until the crack of doom before plank
indorsing tariff reduction would be put
in national platform. Is that not SO
dear Express? IT'S even SO with the
commission amendment. A measure ia
dorsed by ninety per cent. of the dele
gates in a state convention ought to be
worthy of q party Endorsement. Tariff
reform has no stronger claims to such
endorsement

THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.

Our Washington correspondent tells us
that it is a mistake to suppose that the
Democrats in the senate are employing
dilatory tactics to defeat, il possible, the
passage of the tariff bill. They have no
such purpose, and choose to discuss the
bill in order to call the attention of the
people to its glaring faults and imperfeo-
tions.
The shallowest can see the propriety Of
such policy and the necessity as well.
The bill was railroaded through the house
at such mon ball rate of speed that
anything like fair discussion of it was
out of the question. 1t was found in the
closet of the Republican members of the
ways and means committee. and when
everything was in readiness was sprung
upon the house, and under the gag rules
was whipped through without amend
ment or alteration of any sort. The
result is the people know next to nothing
about it in detail. Republicans say that
it reduces the tariff in many particulars,
and cuts down the revenue some sixty
odd millions. Democrats deny both
propositions, and contend that the
general average of tariff duties is raised
from AZ per cent. to so or probably SO
per cent. How are the people to know
anything like the true state of the case,
only rs they may approximate il by fol-
lowing the discussion of the various pro-
visions of the bill?
Each one might procure a copy of the
bill, and read it for himself. True
enough. But how many would get an
Intelligent comprehension of It from
scanning it in detail, or would under
stand Its relations to the existing scale of
duties or to previous ones? Not one in
thousand. It is only by hearing it
discussed by men qualified and able to
understand the import and significance
Of the various rates of duty liked by it,
that the ordinary mind can grasp Its full
meaning. Juries have all the evidence
in case to guide them, but the advocate
comes to sift and analyze it for them,
with a view to an intelligent and just
verdict.
Since the house saw fit to abdicate its
duty in this particular, the need for
full and free discussion of the bill be-
came all the more imperative on the
senate. BY insisting on it, the Demo-
Gratis are simply performing patriotic
duty. To accuse them of tilibustering or
employing dilatory methods to defeat it,
after they have expressly disclained any
such purpose Is the acme of impudenoe,
and the most undeserved of oalumnies.
Besides, what have the Democrats to
gain by defeating a measure whose pas
sage would benefit them doubly as much?
Have they anything to fear from q bill
that increases rather than diminishes the
tariff Why are the Republicans in both
through with as little inquiry and talk
about II as possible? Is 1t not because
they want to hide from the people its
real character as far as may be? If that
be true, it is for the Democrats to
drag it into the light of day and exhibit
its deformities and hldeous proportions
to those who must foot the bill. If that
is not legitimite, pray tell Us what Is.
II that Is not free speech, what Is 1t?

THE H0GG VOTE GUESSING.

In answer to a correspondent The
GAZETTE states that one person can guess
as often as such person may desire. This
is one case where "voting early and
often" is permissible.
All Euesses must be made out on the
blanks printed IN THE GAZETTE.
The guesses should come in separate
envelopes (and one envelope may enclose
as many guesses as desired. The en-
velopes are preserved as evidence of the
day and hour they were received, as
there may be tie, and the award will
be made to the party whose guess was
first received.

REED Is said to be preparing a mighty
effort to show that treaties of reciproo-
ity have been worthless in a business
way, and. incidentally of course, that
the tariff of the Mckinley variety is the
sum of all good. If SO, Reed, in the ex-
pressive language OF the gamin, Is
breeding scabs, regardless of any merit
in his disquisition on treaties of recip-
roc1ty. Jim the Penman is lying in wait
for adventures like the boss of the
house.

Pendleton over BroiIes last April will
not fill the gap between Smith and
Brolles. Smith is the recognized father
of Fort Worth and is as sure to be the
next mayor as that the sun will set on
the day of the election.
