AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

Democracy in the Northwest lies in
fusion with the Alliance element
and its chance of fusion with that
element will vanish when it plays
the traitor to the cause of financial
reform Those who try to figure Mr..
Cleveland in without New York by
counting several votes in the North
west overlook this very important
item of the calculation.
Cepterville Democrat: The Demo.
crat party can't afford TO Know ~ q.
"petsn this year. We must nominate
man who can win regardless uI
favOritism. If Hill can win, take
him, if Cleveland can win, take hin :
il neither car win, then for Gods sake
get some one who can.
Cotulla Times: The investigation
of Gen. B. Raum, commissioner OF
pensions, Is panniug out nothing but
modification and disappointment to
the democracy. The commissioner is
50 clean handed and az competent in
the civil service of his country as he
was brave, able and true when serv-
ing il an q general during the trying
years of 1891 65.
Brenhams Banner: The ease with
which Houston captured the stale
convention was a compliment to that
enterprjsing city and u shrewd dele
CATION she sent to present her claims
Galveston sent after it in special car,
= but Houston had it by the arm aud
walked off with it on the first ballot.
Laredo Times: Mr.. Praeger, the
San Antonio newspaper reporter who
has started on q long bicycle tour
through Mexico will find his favorite
mode of travel rather awkward in the
mountainous country selected for his
daring trip; two donkeys, one TO ride
aud the other to carry camping equip
age, would be far more sensible out
fit.
The Ell Paso Tribune: The Times
rears upon it's hind legs this morning
and emits fire6 and birthstone, all on
account of the Tribune and Fort
Worth Gazette publishing that Mr..
Cleveland would not allow bis wife to
visit Richmond because she might
have to meet Miss Winnie Davis. A II
the country knows this is true, not.
withstapding Mr.. Ponder's super
human efforts to disprove It by say
ing he was there and saw it. That lie
q good way to prove anything, your g
man, but it will not go down. The
ladies may have met in Atlanta, but
that does not disprove the first
proposition.
Dallas Times, Herald: Pennsyl.
vania, South Dakota, Rhode Island
and Minnesota clamor for Cleveland
nomination; and yet these states will
cast their votes for Harrison. The
idol worshipers will not have their
joss in public places this year, nor
the rainbow chasers given another
opportunity to work the party.
Hondo Herald: The legislature
was called to do large task, but the
usual tondness for talk has manifested
jtself, and precious hours are wasted
by the men vino were elected on
their reputation for oratory and want
to maintain it. The orator is all right
ss an entertainer, but where business
lie to be done he Is often found strew-
ing flowers where he ought to be
planting corn. But for most of the
mistakes that public men make the
people themselves are responsible.
At elections they often give their
preference TO the talker above the
thinker, and they should not COM
plain if their talker talks when he
ought to be thinking and working.
