AUSTIN, TEX, March 24-The report OF
Mr.. Chilton's speech at Tyler Yesterday is
regarded here as bad break, if he said as
stated. that his defeat for senator was ian
indignity to himself and the state admins
tration." It was not, and is not, so re-
garded here, tor the simple reason that
many of Col. Mills staunchest supporters
are equally staunch Hogg men. Mr. Mills
was put in nomination and elected by Hogg
men. and without them he would have been
defeated.
These men have been resenting the no.
ticn that the election of Mr. Mills was an
indignity upon the administration or. upon
any man, and say that Mr. Chiffon must
have been incorrectly reported. Many of
them refuse to believe that he uttered such
language, knowing as he did the exact SIT
uation here as respects the administration
ana himself. If he did use it, they regard
it as untimely and ill-judged. The Clark
people are chuckling over and parading IL
as God-send, that can be utilized to widen
the breach breach between the Mills and
the Hogg people.
w. NJ. Imboden says that the language
imputed to Mr.. Chiffon is and must De IN
correct; that it IS wholly unlike ANYTHING
said by him publicly or privately while
here and at war with mis- zyeil-knovTn
opinions aud his knowledge of the circum-
stances connected with his defeat. Others
Of Mr.. Chilton's friends are equally en-
phatic IN refusing to believe that he used
the language imputed to him

THE heavy rains seem to prevail all over

suit OF the rain on prospect of crops. In my

Judging from their appearance in some

WASHINGTON, March est seems gem
orally conceded tonight that Grover Cleve-
land and the money power have proved
too strong for legislation in the interests o f
the people, in other words, that the Bland
bill is doomed to defeat The real friends
OF the free silver coinage are deeply disap-
pointed. A good many sham friends are
secretly rejoicing. OF course there is still
left a chance for the bill to 90
through, but Mr.. Bland himself is
almost inclined to give up the fight.
He does not admit this, however, and
ayows his intention of pressing his bill to the
end. Very few OF his co-adiutors are hone
full now of victory. Mr.. Bland and Speaker
Crisp had an alteration this afternoon, the
former claiming the speaker had not kept
faith with him by reporting arsetiier resolu-
ton from the commivtee on rules to
consider silver right away. Mr.
Crisp denied any bad faith and told
Bland to get majority of the Democrats
to sign petition for the rule and it would
be reported. This Mr.. Bland started to do,
but dropped it in Ill humor and thus the
matter stands. 1t doesn't seem probable
now that the cloture will be applied Men
who say they will vote for the bill
are against cloture, but that
goes to show that they are really glad of
an excuse to dodge the issue. There never
has been parallel case to this for misrep-
sentation, intimidation and all the outside
pressure which the moneyed kings of Wall
street know well how to employ They
have scared the wits out of many timid
fellows who wanted free coinage but lacked
the nerve TO stand by their convictions.

Prohibition state Convention.


To the People OF Texas
By order of the state executive committee
of the Prohibition party of Texas, hereby
call state convention of Prohibitionists to
meet at Waco, Tex, on Tuesday, April 90
1879, at 10 O'Clock, a. m. The business of
the convention will be as follows:
!. The election of delegates to the
National Prohlbition convention, which
meets at st. Louis on June 80, 1892.
2 To nominate presidential electors,
3 To nominate candidates for governor
and Heutenant-governor and other state
officers, and to transact such other business
as may properly come before the conVen-
ton.
All opponents ofthe liquor traffic in Texas
are cordially invited to come to the conven-
ton and assist in the deliberations. Every
such person will be entitled to a seat in the
convention as 4 delegate.
Ii there was ever q doubt in the minds of
Texas people before as to the attitude of
the dominant party on the liquor question.
there certainly should be no doubt now.
line Democratic party has as the two op-
posing candidates now seeking the nomina-
ton of that party for governor, on one
hand, the leader of the anti-prohibition
forces in 1887, and on the other hand. the
man who made perhaps the most violent
antl-prohlbltlon speeches in that campaign,
Added to this is the fact that the saloon
forces are perfecting throughout the whole
state a compact organization for the pur-
pose Of controlling the politics of the state.
Their organization is secret but none the
less inimical to the interests of the state.
If there ever was time since the declare
ton of independence, when the lovers of
our country should stand together and con-
front this common foe, that time is now.
We respectfully urge every one who be-
lieYes in God and in the perpetuity of re-
publican institutions and the maintenance
OF the government, to meet with US to plan
for the redemption of the state, and the
protection OF its homes from the onslaught
of its deadliest foe. Respectfully,

THE BILL TO EXCLUDE Politics.


Representative Andrew of Massachusetts
has completed and submitted to the ma
honal house of representatives his bill, en-
titled: ITO Exclude Political Influence
from the Employment of Laborers Under
the Authority of the United States" The
bill, according to reports received by Mr..
Andrew, will affect about twenty-one thou
Tand government employees, and will re-
luire that henceforth they shall be ap-
pointed or employed without any regard to
political considerations. The only purpose
IF the legislation, Mr.. Andrew points out,
Is to compel the appointment of properly
qualified men in the order of their applica-
lion, and this purpose can be carried out by
the officers authorized to give the employ
ment without any cum bersome machinery.
Mr.. Andrew gives table, compiled from
recent statistics, showing that the official
force of the government in the executive
departments is 1880 and that of this
number only 80, 726 are actually subject to
competitive examination. Mr.. Andrew
states that the method proposed excluding
political influence from the employment of
laborers is not an untried experiment, and
he cites the system in force in the cities of
Massachusetts for the past seven years in
proof of this statement.
The great mass of the working people Of
the country viii pray for the passage and
rigid enforcement of this law, as it will
take away from INSCRIPTIONS politicians
the opportunity to divert public funds to
personal and party uses by employing pub
lie servants as personal and party tools. It
viii relieve working people, when they go
TO the polls to express their judgment upon
public questions, from the imputations and
charges that they are vot-
ing to retain their situations rather than
their honest convictions, and that they are
coerced or directed as the tools of a faction
or a party. 1t will increase the efficiency |
Of the public service, as merit and ability |
will supersede political prefermeDt; it will
do more than any one law has ever done to |
purify the American ballot-box twill raise |
the standard of American politics, and place
all the worhngmen of the United States |
upon an equality in seeking public service
by the simplest methods and at profit to
The government resulting from better serp-
ce and better work

the adjournment question to some extent

the sentiment was favorable to June l as
