WHO WERE THOSE 10000 VOTERS?
Did ex-United States Senator Hor-
ace Chiffon really say in the platform
committee room that the silver plank
meant $4,000 voters for Gov. Hogg,
and if that plank was not put into the
platform that number of voters would
be lost to Hogg? If he said it, what
did he mean by it? The national
platform had spoken on tina subject,
and why did he not think tina would
suffice? Was it fear for the national
Democracy or the Hogg party that
made him insist on that silver plank :?
Who were the $4,000 voters he wished
to catch, not for the national electors.
but for the Hogg party? They were
not simon-pure Democrats, for the ma
tional platform prescribed how such
men must vote, and that plank
is at cross purposes with
the national platform. If they
were not Democrats, then who
were they Mr.. Chiffon was fishing for?
Not Republicans for they too have a
national platform from which they
will be too wise to deviate. 1t could
only have been the Third partyites
And why should they be sought after,
why should they be placated? Have
not the straight Democrats in the past
proven themselves able unassisted to
carry all state elections Why this
bid now for the Third rarity vote?
Clark and his followers for months
have charged that Third party men
were going into the primaries and
capturing them for Hogg, was this
true? Don't that silver plank look
very much like it? Was it this in
fuence in the Hogg convention that
put it into his platform, or if not was
it done to keep the Third party friends
it has been so often charged had
helped Hogg in the primaries and
win others of them to his cause
Were these the $4,000 voters meant, if
not who were they?

The Houston Post has several times
since it's re-baptism admitted it fought
Governor Hogg's denomination from
sound convictions of what was best
for Texas. What The STATESMAN
and a great many people would like
to know is, in what way have those
ground rock principles been changed
or affected by the conventions in
Houston? If Governor Hogg was an
unsafe man according to The Post be-
fore the convention, in what way did
they change him so as to make him a
desirable man Tor governor again
He was serving as governor creden-
tailed by a united Democracy when
The Post wac fighting his policy, he
is now but the nominee of one wing
of a split Democracy. How the I'M
safe policy of a governor can in so
short time be metamorphosed into a
safe policy of candidate for the gov
ernorship, THE STATESMAN and those
same great many people fail to under
stand
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-09-01

POLITICS and in fact all other sub
jects are beginning to wane in inter-
est in the lurid light of the approach
ing pugilistic encounter betweenSul-
Ivan and Corbett. The STATESMAN
is not making any bets but contents
itself with saying that if both discard
lodging and stand up to their punish
ment, the nation may be relieved in
the future of at least one contestant
in these brutal exhibitions. Prize
fightingis not an aesthetic amusement
or one to reflect credit on any nation,
but the people seem determined that
the newspapers shall give every such
event with minutest detail.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-09-01

THE Houston Post says: "The
prompt and outspoken declaration of
senator Coke that he is heart and
soul for the platform and nominees of
the state Democratic convention, and
will canvas the state for them, is char
acteristic of his earnest Democracy
and his strong personality"
The STATESMAN differs with the
Post and thinks that Senator Coke's
action is rather indicative of d desire
to flop over on the winning side of the
case; but in the present instance he
has made an awful blunder. He has
misjudged Clark's strength, as he
misjudged the strength of the opposi-
ton to prohibition and hence feared
to take any side.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-09-01

THE Houston Post says: at is Ie-
ported that the Republican party will
indorse Clark, and that rank Republic
can paper, the Globe Democrat of st.
Louis, advises that it dos so. Men who
bolt the Democratic party without
reason or excuse will no donbt well
come any assistance they can get in
their effort to defeat the Democracy"
And faction of the Democratic party
that would bolt the national Demo.
cratic platform to secure Third party
votes should keep awfully quiet about
political methods. It's mouth-piece
also should be as dumb as a clam.

ing editorial on Fred Douglass idea
OF present victory in politics and fu-

THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

The address to the people of Texas,
ordered by the Houston Democratic
convention, to be pre- pared and issued
by a special committee appointed for
that purpose, is this morning given to
the public. 1t will be seen that it is a
review of the conditions necessarily
leading up to a revolt of the people
against the Hogg rule and policy;
placing In strong contrast the reign of
Ross and OF Hogg. 1t is also plain,
unvarnished statement of how the
Hogg majority in the Houston con.
vention was secured, how maintained
there and how the nomination of
Hogg was thereby made possible. 1t
gives short sketch of how the split
was made necessary and closes with
an arraignment of the Hogg policy
and plea for a return to Democratic
usages and form of government.
About the address there is no attempt
at ornamentation, no reaching after
rhetorical effect. 1t is the blunt
statement of men dreadfully in ear
nest, whose whole desire seemed to be
to put their case so plainly before the
people that all could read and none
fail to understand the meaning. There
is no demagogery, no specious plead
ing. The reader is cited to history
plainly quoted as the words fell from
the lips of Governor Ross, he is then
asked to contrast that history with
the condition of affairs as they exist
today. The address courts no conceal
ment-it is huge sign post painted
with letters so large that one who runs
may read. 1t is an address not for the
verbose politician to take before any
character OF, audience and read any
way to suit his purpose. 1t is an adj
dress that the people are to take as a
plain business letter directed to each
one personally, and in their homes by
candle light they can read it under
standingly and make up their minds
as free men.

CARE ALL STRIKES FAILURES 2,

CARE ALL STRIKES FAILURES ?n
OF all the subjects holding the at
tention of political economists and
thinking men everywhere, no other
has as much serious interest as the
question of the proper relation of labor
to capital. To the solution of this
question the best thought of today on
both continents is directed, in its
proper solution is wrapt up the sta
bility of governments and the happi-
ness and prosperity of millions of peo-
pie. The Chicago News Record under
the heading above quoted has these
pertinent thoughts on the late labor
troubles of our country:
The defeat at Homestead, the dis.
aster at Coal Creek and the collapse of
the strike at Buffalo provoke the in
quiry: Do great strikes ever succeed?
Workmen have gone out from all
sorts of employment, confident, de-
fiant and loyal to each other, only to
fail. Other workmen have been found
to take their places upon the terms
which the strikers refused to accept.
Therefore many assert that strikes,
not having accomplished the specific
purpose which they set out to &C.
complish, should have Failure" writ
ten up against them.
But this is very narrow view to
take of the subject. Every strike has
left its lesson and its impression,
some superficial and others deep, upon
labor conditions. Strikes have served
to mark the limits of oppression by

ocratic party in the South. That is an
obstacle in his way. He and Harrison
have had no hope of overcoming this
enemy until the Third party doomed
up. AS a Washington Republican
puts it, "We expect the niger and
the Third party to do the work in the
South for us, and Doodle to whip the
West into line" No composite
nation"for Virginia. This state is not
ready for that.
Texas is now seeing quite good
deal of composite" politics, but this
state nor any other state in the South
is not now nor ever will be the field
for the formation ola composite" race.
Politics is one thing, race distinction
quite another.
