M.kINLEY AND HIS PLATFORM.


Maj. Mckinley was made the Repub-
ican nominee for governor OF Ohio on
platform that declared for economy
in the administration of public affairs"
1t was on that very platform principle
that the people last fall retired the
major from public life. Perhaps he
thinks, or his party managers do, that
principle strong enough to defeat a
candidate ought to be strong enough,
when not read upside down, to elect
him. In other words, hair of the dog
is good for the bite. This is another
most aggravated case of running with
the hare and barking with the hounds.
Mckinley voted for every grab and
steal and proAigate measure of the bill
lion-dollar congress, and then asks to
be made governor on platform OF
economy. Mr.. McKinley's ability to
give the state an economical admins
tration results from his great expe-
rience and thorough knowledge of ex-
travagant and prohigate legislation.
1t is on this principle that Pinkerton
recruits his ranks. The best thief
catchers are those whose thieving rec
ords have become notorious. Does Mr..
Mckinley think that the people of
Ohio will adopt the Pinkerton method
of choosing a governor?

THE COUNTY JUDGES AND A SPECIAL
SESSION.

The convention of the county judges,
recently held at Corsicana, adopted,
among others. resolution calling
for a special session of the legis-
lature, and asking the governor
to embrace in his call some sug-
gestion of the need for addi-
tional legislation for an enlargement of
the insane asylum. Here is another
indication of the growing feeling
among the people for special session.
Coming from the assembled county
judges of the state, and representing
their deliberate and matured convic-
lions, it carries with it an authority
and weight far beyond that of public
mass meeting; and the time is not far
away when the voice of the latter will
be heard also, unless the governor
should act speedily on the subject.
Besides the better care and treatment
of the insane, another question is likely
to be sprung before long as a matter
for action at a special session, and that
is uniform textbook bill, which, it
seems, the people still think necessary
to their happiness. Many of them,
from recent indications, appear to think
that alone sufficient justification for
special session. THE GAZETTE does
not agree with them in that notion at
all; it merely notes the circumstance.
But aside from these things, and the
probable election of a United States
senator, and far more important than
any Of them, is the redistricting of the
state. This it is that calls imperatively
for a special session and marks the
urgent need for it. There is now in
West and Northwest Texas taxation
without representation. 1t is
grievance that should not be permitted
any longer to exist when the remedy
is at hand and the people are anxious
to apply it.

But, as if it was not enough to leave
admitted the Seventh ward, with its
unfair proportion of strength in legis-
lation, it is now proposed to still
further disfranchise the people of the
older wards by admitting 40 voters
with their two aldermen.
A glance at the vote as above pre-
sented, will convince any fair-minded
man that the whole city should be re-
districted.
One man in the First ward has only
one-ifth the power of one man in the
Seventh ward, or one-half the power of
a man in the Fourth, Fifth or Sixth
ward.
"A voter in the Third ward has only
one-fourth the power of voter in the
Seventh, and SO on.
The wards should all be reformed.
This is but justice, and no man can
deny justice who has no scheme of in
justice to work. A city made up of
rotten boroughs will be made famous
by rotten legislation. 1t is unavoidably

OUR BOOK TABLE.

The publishing house of ]. S. Ogilvie, 81
Rose street, New York, has recently issued
a book bearing the unique title: 'sWhy 1
Am What la m" To be able to give a
reason for the faith that is in one is not
only the privilege and duty of Christian,
but should be the pride of every intelligent
believer whatever the creed or religion.
Each denomination has its peculiar tencts
and these are based upon what the origina-
tors believe to be sound doctrine, and an
ignorance of this on the part of members is
inexcusable In the little book mentioned
there are the reasons of fifteen men of note
representing the different beliefs, and as
these are condensation Of the opinions of
the fathers and leaders, the reader will be
repaid for perusal of the different articles.
The names attached to these justify what
has been said, Among them are to be found
Dr. Abbott of the Plymouth Rock church,
DIR. Huntingdon of Grace church, New
York; DIR. Seymour of New York Presoy-
terrain; Dr. Gottheil of Temple Emanuel,
New York. and Col Robert Ingersoll, whose
paper, .Crumbling Creeds, - is republished
from the Twentieth Century" The sects
represented are the Baptist, Presbyterian,
Methodists, Episcopalian. Catholic, Con-
gregational Universalist New Church

WITH $4,000 Republican majority
behind him, Mr.. Ingalls, thought he
could laugh at and ignore the demands
of the people of Kansas on the tariff
and financial questions. There are
Democratic leaders in Texas not near
so well intrenched who cannot dodge
the issues any better than Ingalls, did.
The people want Democracy well de-
fined in national platforms and issues
squarely met. and are more apt to
change leaders and representatives
and delegates to conventions than they
are TO change parties. If the Demo-
cratic press doesn't discuss issues and
present fair statement of all ques-
tions, the people will supplant them
with other papers, and the same is
true of individual politicians. The
Democratic masses will not be played
upon by their own or Eastern leaders.
The Democratic party in Texas belongs
10 them and they will run it. They in
tend to inaugurate campaign of edu-
cation, and vigor on state and national
issues. and will always be able to find
men in the Democratic party able and
willing TO understand their necessities
and 10 fight Tor them boldly whether

WE will have the national bank sys-
tenn at least until the bonds are paid
off. Why not allow them to surrender
their notes, and take legal tender in
full for their bonds. and keep their
charters for as long as granted? Even
the national banks might be placed in
position where they could help out
the people in times OF financial strin-
gency. While some Democratic lead
ers oppose them, the party does not in
congress or convention; and if they are
only to remain few years it would
help to timber them up. Senator Coke
started out to do this. but seems to
have received no backing for his bill.
even in the party. The financial ques-
ton will remain uppermost in the
minds Of the people until they have a
more elastic system. Leading Demo
Gratis like Hampton and leading Repub-
licans like ingalls, are falling by the
wayside, and, while the third party
may never amount to much. there will
be a wonderful change in leadership.
Young and aggressive men like Bailey
will come to the front in every con-
gressional district. The South and
West are aroused. A vigorous policy
is'required.

How they Give the City a "Black Eye"
Either Intentionally or Otherwise.
NEW YORK, June 49, 1891.


To the Gazette.
In your columns of the 18th I notice a

the effect that some person in Fort Worth
has been "bearing" your plucky city. |
wish that your correspondent had signed
his name that I might have gone around
and condoled with him. have had dose of
the same medicine in the recent past. 1t has
happened to me twice. l either greatly
overestimate the advantages of Fort Worth
or else some one there greatly under eSti-
mates them.
1t is hardly 60 be expected that capital
lists will send their money to Fort Worth
for investment without the most careful in
vestlgatlon and inquiry. On two recent oc-
casions have had deals concluded, based
upon an investigation of the property in
volved. One of these Investigations was
made by correspondence, and the report
was unfavorable. Tie other was made by
the party in person. Unfortunately for me
and for my principal he either fell in with
'sorehead" or some one VINO was inter-
ested in crying down values for his own
advantage. l am inclined to the opinion
that the latter was the case, as the pro-
perty under consideration was worth four
times the amount sought to be obtained
upon it.
These results have very injurious effect
for the present. and for all time TO come
Once make the impression that values are
inflated, and it cannot be overcome. and all
the labor done in interesting the individual
is lost. More than this, he communist
his impressions to his friends, and the town
receives ''blacll eye"
Fort Worth has gone through the recent
panic, now happily near its end, with less
loss in money or reputation than any city in
the country, but It has suffered irreparable
injury from croakers, or possibly what is
worse, traitors. Cannot you find them out
and expose them? Yours for the Fort,

THERE should be patriotic men in
every town and city to appreciate this
suggestive paragraph by II. B. Cham
berlin in the New York Sun: aside
from the ultimate effects of the farmers
uprising it should be welcomed as one
Of the healthiest signs of the times in
American politics. 1t promises stimu-
lus and an antidote for the dry rot of
political neglect and Indifference
among the urban citizens Of the coun-
try. The blase Indifference or disgust
with which rapidly-growing class of
voters have turned their backs upon all
things political, has, to an alarming
degree, encouraged corruption and
misgovernment. The evil has grown
to be one OF the greatest public dangers
OF the day. If the farmers movement
will awaken the American people, or a
large proportion of them, to proper
performance OF their political duties,
We may freely forgive it any mistakes
which it may make in policy and the
application of principles"
