seen fit to endorse Mr.. Morris. MI.
Morris has reason to feel proud of this
endorsement by other parties than that
with which he is identified. 1t simply
means that the people of all political
parties in this county, where MI
Morris has been known from boy
hood, look upon him as capable, hon.
est, and well qualified to make good
district jndge aud believe that he
merits the position to which he as
pires. The people of Austin, where
he is best known, will especially take
pleasure in honoring him.
This is not the first time the Repub-
licans of the county have laid aside
partisanship to help elect a good
Democratic Judge. They endorsed
Judge A. s. Walker when he was
elected the second time. The Demo-
Gratis in times past have also refused
to make a party issue in the election
of a Judge, notable when Judge E. b.
Turner was elected judge OF this
district.

THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.

Mr.. Frank G.. Morris will certainly
be elected district judge over Mr.
Cochran. Both are Democrats and
running as endorses of the Democratic
judicial convention, though Mr.. MorrI
was supported by majority of the
convention as long as ballots were
taken. Mr.. Morris is therefore the
in the best position to command
the support of the Democratic party.

BLAINE MAKES A SPEECH.
HE ENTERTAINS A LARGE CROWD AT
OPHIR FARM YESTERDAY.
An Impromptu Affair With Little Notice,
But People Poured in From All Quarters
to Hear the Speech of the Magnetic
Man from Maine,

WEST PLAINS, N. Y, Oct. 15.-
James G. Blaine spoke today to big
crowd from the villages of West
chester county, who went to Ophil
Farm last night and heard the man
from Maine. Politicians tried to OBJ
tain the same result, but failed. The
ex-secretary, however, yielded to
popular enthusiasm and spoke. The
demonstration was spontaneous and
was arranged on short notice. The
eople gathered in strength from Port
chester, Rye, West Plains, Mamaro-
deck, Rye Neck and other towns.
Upon their arrival at Ophir Farm,
the bands, which accompanied the
party played several selections, and
Mr.. Reid presented Blaine, who,
among other things, said:
L am not making speeches in the
canvass for reasons we'll known to my
friends and which have no connection
with politics. Generally administra-
tions in presidential elections ale
challenged on account of the condi-
tion of the business of the country
and submit that the Republican adj
of President Harrison can
endure such a test.
Applause Continuing, he said he
doubted if since the government of
the United States was Instituted any
body at any time had seen what we

country, being entirely of an imper-

LITTLE HoMER's SLATE.

After dear old grandma died,
Hunting through an oaken chest
In the attic we espied
What repaid our childish Quest
Twas homely little slate,
Seemingly of ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture of cart,
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which botokens childish art;
But what meant this legend, pray,
Homer drew this yesterday"
Mother recollected then
What the years were fain to hide,
She was but baby when
Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through those years
Grandma kept from all apart,
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart,
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate
Grandma's baby's fingers pressed,
To memory consecrate,
Lieth in tho oaken chest,
Where, unwilling we should know,
Grandma put it years ago.

Tne iray to Catch a Porcupine.

The porcupine climbs the tree as readily
as squirrel would, provided you don't
slip mp ard cut his tail off while he is going
up. SomcnCw or other he can't climb the
tree without his tail, nor he won't come
down without it, If you catch one of these
porcupinCs climbing tree and chop his
tail off he will stop right where he is, and
will stay there until he starves to death
unless he is taken away.-Philadelph

THAT "BALLOT FORMn OPINION.


THAT "BALLOT FORM" OPINION
The frequent dipping into affairs Of
late by the attorney generals office
of all possible subjects, gives point to
the query as to what is the actual
province OF that department of the
state government and to what extent
its assurances upon the law are binding.
Especially at this time comes a ques-
ton of the most vital Importance to
the people, on the eve of the state
election. That department has just
issued an sopinion on the "form of
ballots" to be used in the approaching
election. This opinion is not signed
by the attorney general, but in a
matter so exceedingly critical, his as
sistant is assigned the duty of ex-
planning and laying down the lazy.
This opinion of Friday last
upon one point says: at is
further stated that this department
has just ruled that the name of can
didate for office can be placed upon a
ballot only once, and must be arrang-
ed under the name of the party to
which he belongs"

not right to representation on the

office give warrant for the writing of
the Lily White candidates name as
that of the candidate of the Republic
can party of Texas? Will illegal con-
structionp go to that length? Does
not the law say every party can de-
mand that It's candidates have their
names on the ballot, and that they
must be put on it? The law does not,
and what power then does give the
attorney generals office the right to
say that no political party shall in.
dorse the candidate of another party
and claim his name for their
ticket? Yet such would be the legit,
innate result of such monstrous con.
struction of the law, as now
freshly issued. We cannot think
the attorney generals Office would
lend itself to political trick in franz
ing such opinions as would practically
directly aid in the decision of an cleo.
tion of favorite candidate. Yet such
an opinion as the one now referred to
seems so monstrously without the
pale of the intent of the law which
seeks to provide pure, free, full and
ample expression of choice in election
matters, that it can hardly be explain.

Is it possible the law can he rightly

candidate of the Democratic party?

Certainly it is not justice nor equity,

and he is conjured to revise it ere his
office is accused of rank legal inability
and injustice if not of bitter partisan
zeal.

our surprise when we went to pick up the
bird to see twelve others slain on that log
and along its sides.
My shot had probably frightened a score
of the big bevy up on the fir log aud one on
