wealth, but who can hold the scales of
Justice with unshaking hand man who
is not time-serVer nor bargain-maker:
who will be neither a demagogue nor the
wiley advocate OF any adversary of good
government. You want TO select that rare
combination of all the virtues, an honest
man.
Great issues re ent themselves for your
consideration the next state convention.
To achieve good results you must have har-
mony in your counsels. Conslder You
have committed to your charge TO a great
extent the destinies of vast empire, at
least for short time. On the judicious
exercise of the prerogatives of the govern
or's Office much will depend. The action of
the chief executive cannot fail TO have its
influence for good or i'll on the mind and
work Of all who may be gathered to make
or mend our laws. You should not ignore
the lessons that the past he's taught. Weigh
well the consequences Of your choice. Do
not be swayed by clamer. The people, for
whom you are to act, are watching you.
Determined though they are to regulate the
acts of corporate bodies. yet they have no
wish to crush them to the earth. Regula-
ton should not mean oppression.
On the other hand, these corporations
and others who may desire to interest
themselves in your state hereafter have
their eyes intently fixed upon you. To
their interest l make bold to say you
should not be wholly indifferent At the
hands of the people they have received the
charters that have given them corporate
existence, and they cannot fail to acknowl-
edge that they are measureably subject to
the peoples control, yet not wholly so. The
possessor of wealth should not be
expected to part altogether with the
control of his possessions when he
decides to participate in the priy1l-
eyes accorded TO corporations. Their
wealth develops our resources. Let US ac-
cord their efforts a hospitable welcome
The Dlindest of US may now see that what
ever ties them up unfairly delays and him
ders the development of our great state.
Our vast deposits of coal and iron are of lit
tie value to US if we continue to let them lie
dormant in the earth. Without highways
to transport our products and corporate cap
ital to develop our mines we shall continue
as we have been, great only IN possibilities,
but backward in achievements.
Subject, of course to your approval, I
can name a man who, without ever having
been officicious in politics, is yet thor
ouehly familiar with the requirements of
deliberative assemblages, a imam who COM

Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette.
Forty years ago the Hon. John n Reagan
was railEsplitter in Eastern Texas, and
during all these years since, he has devoted
his life to the service of the people of
Texas. In his old age, and poor, he resigned
seat in the United States senate to serve
on the railroad commission in the hope of
being able to assist in relieving the people
from the oppressive extortions of railroad
corporations. he has worked hard and
faithfully with his associates now for
months, and is gradually solving the great
problem. Now comes little fat, sleek
railroad lawyer from Waco and declares
this grand old man whom Texans have
known and loved for half century fraud
and has the cheek to announce himself a
candidate for governor and declares that
John 81. Reagan shall not be retained as one
of the railroad commissioners if he is
elected governor. The railroads may cap
ture our state government and make their
chief lobbyist and political manager our
chief magistrate, but we think their cham
pion made mistake when he declared war
on John H. Reagan. CITIZEN

THEY WANT HILL
The Observations of Fort Worth Dem
ocrat Abroad.
By the Governor:
GEORGE w. SMITH,
Secretary of State.


A GAZETTE reporter yesterday met T. T.
D. Andrews and questioned him regarding
the political situation in the East, he hav.
ing just returned from trip. In response
to the reporters request for a statement
regarding the Democratic possibilities he
said:
III .have recently returned from an ex.
tended trip TO Washington, D. c.. and other
Eastern points and through the South At
lantic states, and learned much of interest
to me concerning national politics. Mr..
Cleveland has large and enthusiastic fol
lowing everywhere, but many who would
like to see him president again are fearful
of his nomination, believing it impossible
for him to carry New York. having
been defeated at time when
ne was the nations chief with all
the prestige such exalted station bestows.
How can we expect him to be elected now.
shorn of this power7 On the other hand,
if an Eastern man is to be chosen, eX-
Governor Hill of New York seems to be
the preference. Since his remarkable po-
liticsl exploits in redeeming that state from
Republican control and placing it perma-
nently in the Democratic column, he is
looked upon as the embodiment of
political success; and while he is
whose first impulse is the triumph of his
party, his trauscendent craftsmanship has
alike commended itself to the profound at
tention Of his countrYmen.
II met during my absence quite number
of Democrats who expressed themselves
favorable TO the nomination of Western
man for the presidency, yet in no instance
did any one deny Ex-Governor Hills ability
if nominated to carry the doubtful Eastern
states. They gave Mr.. Hill credit for being
a great political organizer, and it is conceded
that his nomination would quicken the
valor OF Democrats everywhere, as they
feel his election would mean the complete
restoration of the party to power for a
quarter of 4 century.

Gray of Indiana or some other strong
Western man.

Hill for Hist courageous denunciation of the
iniouitious and d2mnable force Dill which,

liberation and close counsel with delegates
from other states. discarding all personal
predirlections and seeking only the countrys
good. shall select as standard bearers men
whose eminent fitness is a guarantee to

What Maj. whatley Vas to Say About
the CampbelI Case.

What MAJ Whatley Has to Say About
the Campbell Case.
Mai. l. A Whatley, superintendent of
the Texas state penitentiaries, was in the
| city yesterday and was questioned by a
GAZETTE representative about the charges
of cruel treatment recently preferred by
the notorious Bob Campbell. who is now in
jail at Decatur awaiting trial for murder.
The major IS portly, quiet, earnest,
kindly looking gentleman, who would be
said by the casual acquaintance to possess
more of the milk of human kindness in his
heart than belongs 10 most men.
He chatted unreservedly about the
management Of the penitentiaries, saying
there was nothing he would have concealed
from the public. The records show every
step that is taken and they are open to the
inspection of all.
The Campbell charges are inspired, he
thinks, by desire to create sympathy for
his benefit in the murder trial which is
pending. The case is a hard one, Campbell
having murdered man who was endeavor-
ing to prevent his escape from Jail.
Mai Whatley says he made thorough
investigation of the matter as soon as he
heard of Campbelrs story. He found that
Campbell and the others who were pun
ished had engaged in conspir-
acy to escape: their plan was to
capture a guard and use him as protec-
ton. It was the same as that which pro-
duced an instruction at Huntsville some
time ago and resulted in the
loss of several lives. Most of those
engaged in the conspiracy had escaped
from the peniteutiary before, two of them
by joining in the murder of guard. When
Mr. Douglass, the assistant super
intendent, discovered this conspiracy, ne
promptly ordered the men punished. 1t was
necessary 10 do this TO preserve discipline,
and to prevent plots which may
not true. though, that the skin
vas broken by the punishment inflicted,
and it is believed that if Campbells flesh
is lacerated he did it for effect.
The official records of the five
men who were punished fer this
conspiracy was exhibited by Maj. What
ley, and shows them to have been frequent
violators of rules and restrictions, as well
as having joined in previous attempts TO es-
cape.

The Tariff and SILVER HumbuE.

Every paper we now take up is reporting
news and containing discussions on the sill

important no one will deny. But the fig

dollars which the saloon interests (about
one billion and five hundred millions) take
from the people, to the filing our prisons
and charitable institutions, while, on the
authority of E. Q. Mills there are only ten
millions involved in the silver question and
one hundred and twenty millions in the tar
