support that his organs and strikers
are giving the other side"
The special was genuine as the
files in the Western Union office will
attest. Gould is aiding Hogg in a
quiet way and it is expected that
Hogs minions will deny it. All the
big railroad bosses are for Hogg.
When they got taste of him once
they became reconciled to keep him
as long as possible.
The Mexia Ledger says:
Politics is a game.which is studied
much at Austin. 1t will hardly be
denied that whether or not Mr.. Hogg
ordered an election to fill the congre S.
ional vacancy depends on the Ger.
tainly or the uncertainty of the cleo
ton of Hogg man. If the election
OF an administrations is certain the
election will be ordered and if very
uncertain it will not. Presumably
Mr.. Blake is awaiting Austin informa-
ton before announcing"
The Ledger is wrong, Gov. Hogg
has promised to call the election and
by grtlins he'll do it. He is taking
care of his own chances right now.
The Cameron Herald Hogg paper
says:
"No Democrat should allow himself
to be misled by the representation
that the Third party is democratic. 1t
is a movement that will divide and
weaken the South, the section of the
country that has always opposed class
legislation. The Republicans will
join this party for the sole purpose OF
attempting to decoy Democrats. The
Alliance is nothing more now than a
political machine"
The Herald says nothing abo ut the
principles advocated by the Third
party. Iii is trying, as all other Hogg
sheets are trying, to retain the support
of the Third party mel by adopting a
part of their platform.
The Waco evening news. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 1891-1894, 1892-04-27

Gov. Hogg thinks it is a terrible
crime for a railroad to increase its
bonded debt after it is built and
equipped but it is all right for a
farmer living near the railroad to in
crease the price of his land after the
railroad comes aud acretes demand
for it. If the farmers land was worth
s. per acre before tie railroad was
built and few years after is worth $50
Ier acre has not the property of the
railroad increased In value in exactly
the same proportion? Then if the
railroad was worth $4,000 mile
when first built it would be 100000
a mile when the farmers IS land got
to be worth $50. The man who bought
land on the prairies at IS per acre and
after a railroad is built by it comes to
town and mortgages it for $25 per
acre waters his stock just As much
as does the railroad that mortgages
the road for five times its cost. There
are two sides to all questions.

SOME CLIPPINGS

The Austin Evening News says
"Lanham is brought out as a COM
promise candidate. But we want no
compromise, Let the Democracy of
Texas decide on one side or the other,
whether Texas is to continue in her
present depressed condition-with
working people starving at New
Blrmingham-or whether we can bring
back capital and restore confidence
and prosperity"
There are a great many of the peo.
pie who supported Hogg in 1890 who
will compromise on the third party
andida'e.

has always cherished a hatred of The

ABANDONMENT Of the DAILY PRESS.

ARRAiGNMENT Of The DAILY PReSS.
Governor Hogg said to a Dallas
News reporter at peuison the other
day;
"Young man, if you are going along
with me on this canvass l want you to
share all its joys and pleasures with
me and above all want you to tell
the truth. The daily papers of this
state are not supporting me, hut am
not complaining about that | sup
pose they are here for business and
know where the best picking is. |
have no daily organ; SO my friends in
the various towns will visit have
been requested whenever The News
makes false statement to load it up
with denias. There is the only re-
course l have and the only protection
| have. A fair reporter is welcome at
my appointments but do not want
them to send professional liar
around"
The insinuatiou that the daily pa
pers who support Clark are
hired to do it is SANDER
of kind which never eliminates from
any other but coarse, cankerous
brain. 1t is very natural, however,
for a man who has exhibited all the
elements OF first class black mailer to
attribute to others mercenary motives.
He feels the power of the daily press
of Texas and he seeks, by the infam
Gus methods of the slanderer,to soften
the blows b, is receiving at its hands
daily. The daily paper lives on the
growth aud prosperity of the city and
country around it. 1t will thrive only
when the people around it thrives, will
prosper only when they prosper is
happy when they are happy. When
business is dull the daily paper is
the first institution to feel it, when
hard times come the first to suffer is
the daily paper. Is it any wonder
hen that the daily press of Texas are
unite in opposition to the present
when the management
of every one of the dailies knows it
is the attitude of the Hogg admins
tration toward capital that has
brought stagnation to every business
and thrown dark mantle Of com.
mercial gloom over the entire state.
The daily papers want prosperity |
something they know will never again
visit Texas until Hogg is no more.
That is why they are not supporting
dOgg, The scheme Gov. Hogg has
adopted for the purpose of bulldozing
he News reporters is an evidence of
IN abiding distrust of himself and he
proposes to deny anything reported as
coming from him if it proves a
boomerang, The denying racket has
oeen worked by the Tyler gang but
t was not altogether
satisfactory. There happered to be
honest men enough on hand to prove
the truth Of the first report. 1t is
hoped the News reporters will pro-
vide for substantiating their reports
and if Hogg makes bad break fasten
it upon him.

The charge of the Hogg worshipers

a majority of them are Oorruptable is
SANDER. The people make mistakes
