The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-10-29

Third Georgia district was in the city
yesterday on his way to Ohio, where
he VIII take a leading part in the
campaign for Governor Campbell and
the Democratic party. Judge Crisp is
billed for ten speeches, the first to be
delivered at Cincinnati. He thinks
the sighs propitious for Democratic
victory all along the line this year.
He points to the sweeping Democratic
victory in the municipal election at
indianapolis as q significant straw
showing the trend of the political
wind this year. AS to next year he is
OF the opinion that the Democratic
candidate will beat any man the Re-
publicans may put up. He has, he
declares, no fears of any untoward
action on the part of the Alliance in
Georgia or the South.
AS to his own candidacy for speaker,
Judge Crisp expresses himself as en-
tirely confident. He is much pleased
at the outspoken stand in his favor
taken by MIR. Hemphill, the brilliant
young congressman from the Pal
metto state. Judge Crisp is looking
very well, in the pink of condition, in
fact. His part in the Ohio campaign
promises to be most effective, he be-
ing an eloquent and logical speaker
in short, spellbinder of the higher
order.
Hon. George III. Stone, now and for
almost thirty Yeas past the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court of Alabama,
called upon the president yesterday
to urge the recommendation in his
forthcoming message to congress of
the necessity for the enactment of q
bankruptcy law.
The president was very much i'm
pressed with the reasons given Tor the
desired legislation. The chief Justice
maintained that, in Wow of the diver
sified laws of the various states and of
the great frauds perpetrated under
them, a national law oughtbc enacted
which wonld curlal the frauds now
ministration of the estates of insolv-
ent persons, and secure to honest
bankruptsa discharge. He indorsed
the Torrey bankruptcy bill.
Invitations were sent to twenty
seven Democratic governors TO attend
the opening of the Democratic cam
paign in Ohio. The fact that of forty
two States in the Union twent y-seven
are governed by Democrats givts some
idea OF the growing strength of the
party in all sections of the country.
The hardness of Republican officials
in the investigation and punishment
of official crookedness in Pennsylvania
is in marked contrast with the way
the late Governor lilden took hold of
the Tweed ring. But then you see
the Democrats might make political
capitaln out OF it. The Republican
leaders have found that the tariff
scare won't work, so their cry ia
"what shall we do to be saved?n
Mr.. Sherwood Dixon of Dixon, ILL.,,
and one of the best known Democratic
! politicians of the state, was at Will
lard's last night, and, referring to
political matters in Illinois, he said:
"There being no state election this
year we are having quiet time of IL
politically. 1t is little too early to
talk about the presidential ques ton,
hich will be in very indeterminate
shape until after the state elections
next month. | hardly regard Mr..
Cleveland rs the probable nominee,
though he has very strong hold On.
the people, Col. Morrison's nomina-.
ton would be an excellent one, and
would give great delight to his
numerous friends in Illinois. His
record is without q flaw, and he is
sound on all the great questions of the
day"
