POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Farmer Shaw's paper, Texas Farmer,
which has been strongly antagonistic to
the administration, declares that in fight
between Clark and Hogg, it has no alterna-
tive but to support the latter. It says:
1.-THE anti-commission elements of the last
campaign-led mainly by railroad lawyers
are again at work. If there are any of them
not in the harness for George Clark. first,
last and all the time,' Texas Farmer is not
aware of his whereabouts. 1t is evident
that they are playing shrewd game to
again put monopoly, corporate power and
railroad politicians on top in Texas. They
have calculated their chances and are play
ing big game for big stakes.
The Waco Day calls upon the senate in
clarion voice, to report the nomination of
Sam Il. Dixon to be penitentiary inspector.
The Floyd County Times in the interest
of Western Texas opposes the commission.
The East Texas Farmer is against Gov
ernOr Hogg and in favor of Culberson for
the senate.
The Champion Press champions Roger Q.
Mills.
The Waco News says it will be Senator
Mills after next Tuesday.
The velasco World favors George Clark
for governor
The Austin News thinks tie state of
Texas should give Mr.. Mills any Office he
wishes.
The Gainesville Register regards Mr..
Clark's tour as triumphal march to vic
tory.
The Corsicana Courier-Observer rates
Governor Hogg's message as good strong
one, but as whole, regards it as merely
campaign document.
The Lubbock Leader runs up to its mast
head the name Of Hon. A W Terrell of
Austin as its candidate for governor.
While the HallettsviIle New Era believes
that Mr.. Mills viii 90 in on the. first ballot,
it is of the opinion that Mr.. Chiffon should
be allowed to serve out the rest of the term.
The Waco News regards the present
fight as an open one between Mills and
Clark for the right of the people to select
their senators and railroad commissioners
and Hogg and Chiffon for the right of the
governor to appoint both.
The Greenvile Banner in commenting on
George Clarlz's campaign speeches says:
''They are bold and manly and convincing
the people of Texas that he is a patriot and
a Democrat of the first water" That
paper regards the present commission law
as too extreme and favors an advisory com
mission of the Throckmorton pattern.
Judge Frank Wills of Canadian fires the
first shot Of the campaign in the Panhandle.
Here it is:

IN MISSISSIPPI.

The Memphis Avalanche, which sup
ports Mr.. Cleveland, says editorially of
Senator Hills reception at Jackson:
"Ths compliment paid him was such as
is rarely vouchsafed 4 public man. All
possible honor was accorded him as the
great Democratic leader of the Empire
state. His speech was devoted largely to
an arraignment of the Repu blican party
because of its continuous, persistent and
outrageous violations of the constitution.
He asserted the autonomy Of the several
states, and made an effective plea for fra
ternity between the sections. He
made very vigorous declaration against
the force bill, and the South may rest as
sured that it has in Mr.. Hill, member Of
the United States senate, who will stand
true to her cause. The resolutions adopted
at the close OF his address were worthy the
occasion, and a splendid tribute 10 the
prowess of the distinguished Democrat
who has done so much to redeem New York
from Republicanism.n

AN ILL-USFD MAN

The legislature of Texas is not yet ready
to invite to Austin the leader of the gang
that stabbed Mills in the back two months
ago in Washington.-[Dallas News.
It is doing Mr.. Mills poor service, if
he aspires to continue as one of the
leaders of the Democratic party, to
cast in his name an insult upon a dis
tinguished Democrat because members
of congress from his state did not sup
port Mr.. Mills for speaker.
Suppose New York, which has often
honored Mr.. Mills, should officially
slight him in retaliation for the action
OF the Texas house Of representa- yes?
What would be said here of New York
Democracy?
One should never weary in we'll
doing. THE GAZETTE again pleads
with the rash supporters of Mr.. Mills
to permit him to retain his standing
in the Democratic party OF the nation.
If this thing of rebuking "the gang"
which numbers two-thirds of the Demo-
cratic congressman from the South, is
kept up much longer, Mr.. Mills infu-
ence will very soon be narrowed down
to his own state. Those who are not
wise enough to see that should employ
some one else to do some thinking for
them. Mr.. Mills is too valuable man to
be slaughtered to crafty the passions
of few marplots, who care not a pinch
of snuff for him, but are using his
name to further ends quite distinct from
his candidacy.
Roger Q. Mills is an ill-used man.

There can be no question but that, as

possibilities Of any state in the Union.
Within her broad domain she not only pro.
duces the finest qualities of the four staple
products of the earth, but she has climate
in which man can live the year around and
her product of fruit and flowers are IN
rivalled. With a people that are both
generous and kind, soil and climate
adapted to the wants of man. Texas will
see the day that she will number ten mil
lions of people within her borders and yet
have room for more. 1t IS only q question
OF very short time when emigration must
take its way to the Southwest, and Texas,
to-day, is ready Tor it.

LONDON, March 16.-In the house Of COR

ian, introduced a Welsh land tenure bill.
The bill provides the government shall ap-
point a commission consisting Of three
members to arrange reasonable conditions
for the tendency of farms in Wales and TX
fair rents.
Gladstone declared he would withhold
support of the measure. At the same time.
he thought the statements made worthy OF
the attention of the house. The time had
not yet arrived, he said, for so definite a
solution of the question. The bill was re-
jected.

An Austin evening paper threatens
the representatives of Travis with
political death" if they vote against
Mr.. Mills. This is getting to be an old
song in the campaign, and yet it is a
fact that the expressions of senatorial
preferences Of the state, through every
medium, would not foot up as much as
the population of Fort Worth. The
GAZETTE was right yesterday. The
worst evil from which Texas suffers is
intolerant politics.

WHY NOT TELL TIE rRurHg


The sophistry of the Cleveland or
gans is too thin to hold together. They
profess to believe that Hill knitted
Cleveland in 1888, and yet they declare
Cleveland could carry New York in
1892, when to nominate him would be
to oppose the wishes of a solid New
York delegation. If Hill was respon-
sible for Cleveland's defeat in the last
election, then to renominate Cleveland
after bolt in his behalf by a small
fraction of New York Democrats, would
be the rankest piece of idiocy of which
a political party was ever guilty. If
Hill and Tammany knitted Cleveland in
1888, then it would be about as sensible
to nominate Zulu chief this year as
Grover Cleveland, for before he got
half way through the poll, he would be
nothing but mass Of gaping wounds.
The Cleveland organs prove their own
insincerity, when they advocate the re-
nomination of Cleveland. They know,
or ought to know, that the knitting OF
Cleveland in 1888 was done all over the
land, and that the figures show, as fire.
quently exhibited by TIE GAZETTE,
that no contested state in the Union
did so well for Grover Cleveland
in 1883, compared with what it did
in 1884, as New York, and that
in New York Tammany was most
faithful, and his home people Of Buffalo
least faithful to him.
Why will not the Cleveland organs
print the truth occasionally?

The municipal debt Of Cincinnati,

times as much as the entire municipal

that of most Texas cities and nearly
three times the rate OF Fort Worth.

SENATOR HILL has the cordial
