CASTING SHADOWS.

Hogg for governor, hominy for dinner,
and good old country swim in deep water
Tyler Courier.
1t comes in the nature of q prediction
that the race for governor is between Mcdonald
and Rogg.-l Fannin Favorite.
Governor Throckmorton is making a
still-hunt canvass for the gubernatorial nomIna
ton, and seems to be gaining strength wherever
he goes Breckenridge Texan.
That great statesman and Texas veteF-
an, flames Throckmorton, - is the man to be
made governor, and the indications now are that
he will be nominated by an overwhelming ma
iority.-l Bopham News.
There Is not the slightest danger of
Throckmorton locking the convention with 8
handful Of votes. He locked one state conven-
ton, threw away the combination and defeated
Hubbard, who lacked less than dozen votes of
receiving two-thirds majority for governor
lCleburne Chronicle.
Several candidates have announced for
state treasurer, but none can show up more
spotless record than d. ]: Cater. As man,
citizen and Democrat Cater is true as steel,
and his promotion to the office to which he
aspires would be no more than his merits de-
serve. Crockett Economist.
AS to faithful and conscientious per-
formance of public duties Lieutenant Governor
Wheeler's record will not suffer in comparison
with the record of any candidate for governor
now or likely to be before the people, While
his duties have been as thoroughly and as eff
fciently discharged.-lCiscoR Roundup.
Unless some awful fine wire pulling is
done in the next State Democratic convention
Hogg will get the nomination for governor
TBeevllle Bee,
will pull him over all the wire pulling which
the conventional manipulatorS can rig up. Hogg
will secure the nomination for governor even if
the convention is to be in San Antonio, where
the local influence is arrayed against him, be-
cause he has tried to enforce the law in that
city, Waco News.
The action of some of the newspapers
opposing Hogg for governor on the grounds that
he is not acceptable to foreign capitalists, is
simply contemplate, and an insult to every
honest man in Texas. If the time has come
when we must look to foreigners of any class to
select our officers, then, indeed, it is time to
quit claiming to be freemen! If such an in
situation fails to arouse the patriotism and
pride Of the people S OF Texas we are willing to
of self-government, and deserve to be placed in
the same category with the serfs of Russia
Jefferson Jlmplecute.
The last entry in the state canvass is
Professor D. P. Hurley, of Springtown, Parker
lie instruction, and he Is heartily Endorsed by
the teachers of Parker county. AS town which
is soon TO have railway connection with Fort
Worth, Springtown has claims that are not to
be sneezed at.-lFort Worth Mail.
Professor Hurley has been warmly and strongly
evidenced by the resolutions published in
the last issue of the Sun. We again call
the attention of our readers to an able
address to the people of Texas by the professor,
which appears in this issue, and bespeak for it
their careful consideration.-lW eatherford Sun.
A Throekmorton paper asks what Jim
Hogg has done that the people owe him the
goyernorship? Hogg is not running for COVER
nor because he believes the people owe him any
thing, nor are his friends supporting him be-
cause they think so. Throekmorton papers are
claiming that the people owe him the governor
ship, but the claim is a foolish one and one that
cannot be established by any legitimate reason
ing. Hogg is acandidete for governor upon his
own merits and his friends are supporting him
on his merits. The Throckmorton people are
the ones who are trying 20 set up pre-emption
on the office for their man. But this pre- emp
