The MOntOpOlIs Bridge Pier.

Mr.. Flume, one of the contractors
building the stone pier for the
Monopolis bridge, informed STATES
MAN reporter yesterday that he was
up above the water line with the
stone work, and that work would be
more easy now, and would be pushed
to completion. The work thus far is
reported to be first class, and the pier
will be we'll constructed and first class
in every particular.

Road Work.

Dick Warren was in town yesterday
and he says he has just completed 600
feet of turnpike on the Mount Bonnet
road not far from the Doxie place. He
has also graded with the machine two
and - Ealf miles on the Pfluegerville
road and one mile on the Cameron.
1t would be good idea to complete
the turnpike from the city limits TO
the Montopolis bridge, and it Should
be done at once. The cost to COM
pete the work it is estimated will be
about $1,000, one-half of which the
citizens, it is said, will raise by private
subscription.

Fellow Citizens of Travis County.

In announcing myself as a candi
date for representative subject to the
decision Of the Democratic county
convention, it might be difficult tc
convince you that l had the least hes
itation in so doing, especially when ]
admit the fact that my mail has not
been loaded down with monster peti
tions.
But | have been strongly urged by
many friends to submit my name, and
if | do so at all, it is due them and
myself to do so at once, as the prim-
aries will soon meet.
We often see announcem ents set
ting forth in glittering generalities
what those candidates propose to be
governed by, and yet so evasive and
non committal as to be meaningless.
do not want the Office bad enough
to deceive my fellow citizens by any
such course. would prefer to be the
respected, plain farmer and private
citizen than the inefficient law
maker. The interests of Travis county
and the State of Texas are too great
to be confided to any man on account
of his mere personal worth and pop
ularity, or OF his overreaching vanity
We need but few laws, but they
should be wholesome ones, leaving the
citizen to work out his own salvation
unfettered by heavy burdens of taxa
ton. / have always admired the wis
dom of our fathers who conceived and
enacted our homestead exemption
laws. The home of the citizen is on
a solid basis; his credit is not impaired
but strengthened; he is the proud,
patriotic citizen alive to all his obliga-
tions. No mortgage threatens his
home and family. He is the solid
yeoman and not the serf.
Following out the line of policy
contemplated by our more prudent
and patient fathers, 1 would never
vote for the enactment of laws that
would place heavy tax lien on their
independent, happy homes.
1t ought to be needless for Travis
county man to say that any legisla-
ton looking toward the complete
finish and equipment of our University
would receive his warm endorsement
and support.
The common schools are magnif-
Gently endowed, and the grand head
of learning should never suffer by any
odious comparisons made by the un-
scrupulous demogogue to any popular
prejudices.
In closing my announcement, al
ready too long, will say, that shoald
l be nominated 1 will run, and if
elected will serve to the best of my
ability, but whoever the convention
selects will receive my warm support.

CONTEMPTIBLE EXPEDIENT FOR
POWER.

Desperate diseases require heroic
remedies. With the greatest Roman
of them all James G. Blaine leaning
toward tariff reform, with the great
farming element of the West and
Northwest restless under present tariff
exactions and demanding change, the
Republican party ga their powder was
being stolen and that something des.
perate must be done. And what
measure do they find most suited to
their end? Why simply a contempt
BILE pandering to the remnant OF what
ever sectional feeling may exist in the
North, determination to conquer
through another humiliation of the
South. Even members of their own
party, representing the South in the
house, rose in their seats and declared
there was no need of the election bill,
that throughout the South the negro
was protected in his rights and that
elections were as honest as in the
North. But no, this would not
do - the desperate men of
the party felt their ship slipping from
under them and they would grapple
to anything, even this infamous cleo
ton bill; indeed, they seemed 10 seize
upon it. with peculiar relish. The
Philadelphia Record puts the case
tersely as follows: "In the moral de-
cadence of great political party its
leaders in congress desperately clutch
at the ignorant negro vote of the
South as the only means of retaining
hold of the government. The people
OF Caucasian race in this country are
Democratic by an overwhelming ma
jority," The STATESMAN entirely
agrees with the Record as to the pro-
portion of the Caucasian race belong
ing respectively to the Republican
and Democratic parties. Yet while
this is so, the contest between these
two parties cannot as whole be q
race issue. Here in the South, where
the white Republican ele ment holds
but an infnitessimal proportion to the
black element, the contest may be
forced into race warfare if designing
plotters in the North continue throw
ing on the fire such fuel rs this cleo
ton bill. Truly desperate must these
men be to take such desperate chances.
