G. "A. II. commander veazeys
Boston Globe.
Judge Veazey. of Vermont. the newly
elected commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army, is as fine a specimen of New Eng
land manhood as one will meet in long
days travel. He is of good height. tall. in
fact; but his massive figure has the effect
of making him appear shorter than he
really is. His face is remarkable one.
In profile it has the same striking outline
as the late President Garfield's, and in the
great procession of Tuesday his por-
trait. carried at the head of the
Vermont column, was mistaken by
many spectators for that of Garfield. He
is fine scholar, able jurist and graceful
orator, and q member of the governing
board of Dartmouth college. At the bar
and or the bench of his state, in law and
in politics alike, Judge Veazey has had
many public honors. but none undoubtedly
which has made him feel so justly proud
as that which places him at the head of
the Grand Army organization. And the
best thing about the high compliment that
has been paid to him is that everybody
says, at serves him right"

Every speaker, either within the

| We noticed In THE GAZETTE right re-
Gently that Thomas NJ. Young had been
confirmed as postmaster at this place.
There Is apparently nothing strange or
startling in this single announcement;
nevertheless when this thing was first
sprung on our peopie-the very first in

that SAID Young through the ''infiu-
ence' of some member of congress from
some other state had received commits
sion to be postmaster at Chillicothe, Tex.

be "nothing" in politics, and some say
he claims to haye been q Lifetime Re-

A convention of delegates from trade
ana manufacturing organizations, munio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September 81 I,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means TO induce capital to seek our
state and accom- plish this object.
The advantage 10 accrue 10 the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity III this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sheraton. Manufacturers are disposed
TO come TO our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open TO them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
It is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed a willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
md requested TO send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend. As
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send TO the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.

MKINLEYS TRUST BILL

One of the prominent features of every
has been the plank denouncing trusts
and combines, and pledging the party to
such legislation as will speedily aud
utterly wipe them out. The frequent
repetition of this bogus pledge is ridicu-
lous in view of the fact that "the
party" in the Federal legislature is do
ing all in its power to foster and main
tain plunderiug combines of every
species. The Mckinley bill seems 10 have
no other purpose, end or aim. Almos.
# not quite every important article of
commerce or trade is controlled by a
trust. Everybody knows that. Mr..
Mckinley knows it full we'll; and as If to
intrench the trusts in their monopolies
he increases the traiff on the principal
articles controlled By them. The Mo
Kinley bill is precisely what the trusts
want. It meets their views and fulfiIs
their wishes, or else we would never hear
OF it. 1t is trust bill, pure and simple,
framed in accordance with aud fulfill
ment of the terms OF contract between
them and the party managers who
elected Harrison with trust money. To
emphasize the bunoombe and fraud in
the antitrust planks aforesaid, they are
usually found in close proximity in the
platforms to other planks indorsing
the Mckinley trust bill. These two
precious pronunciamentoes go together
in pairs, the one contradioting and Civ
ing the lie to the other.
