Considerable difficulty was expert
enced last night in drumming up quo

Council, some of the members laboring
under the delusion that the city fathers
at their last meeting had adjourned I'M

Council did pass resolution to that eff
feet, but the Aldermen, deeming it pro-
per to postpone such adjournment until
the committee on light had made their
report, tabled the resolution.

THE Dallas Times Herald, an organ
for Governor Hogg is using the name
for the Clark Democrats that Govern
or Hogg gave it in one speech but be-
came so sick of it that he has never
used it since. 1t is castaway of the
governors unfit for publication and
yet newspaper that has the ability
but lacks the taste and refinement to
be clean, 80 far forgets itself as to har-
row up the feelings of Governor Hogg
and exclude itself from genteel houses
just to appear little smart, picks up
this dirty rag and waves it in an edi-
torial. 1t is like Banquo's ghost to
Hogg and it ia an unclean thing to
the public. You do not please the
governor for if he was consulted he
would like tor it to be buried so deep
that it would never see light again.

decency is always preferable even to

that only acquiesence on our part

DISTRICT ATTORNEY A. S. BURLE
SON

THE STATESMAN believes 1t has
succeeded in throwing oil on
the troubled waters of our To-
cal, county politics. 1t earnestly
urged that Democrats, because
of the great rending state issue should
not forget the time when they acted
in perfect harmony; it strongly coun-
seled that the gubernatorial contest
be fought out in it's proper sphere and
not injected as a discordant element
in local questions. This advice and
counsel have happily brought forth
good fruit. Neither wing OF the
Democratic party has been so foolish
as to allow itself to be betrayed into
striking at the unity of the
Travis county Democratic party.
It's ante.state convention &C

| and elaborate discussion of the
grounds upon which the decision ia

Chief Justice Paxson OF Pennsyl-
vania has charged the grand jury that
the members Of the Homestead ad-
visory committee may be indicted for
treason. This charge has been critic
ally examined by but few, the major.
ity OF people look upon 1t as an ap-
rouble which has existed in aud
around Homestead for so long.
1t Is very likely that the charge will
be acted upon. but it is hardly posi-.
BILE that the courts will sustain the in
dictments when the cases come on to
% heard.
The Pennsylvania law defines trea-
son thus: IF any person owing ale
glance to the commonwealth of Penn
sylvania shall levy war against the
same, or adhere tn the enemies there
Of, giving them aid and comfort. etc.,
he shall be judged guilty # treason"
In the face of this language Judge
Paxsen in his charge has given the
following definition of treason: 1.-THE
organization OF a large body Of men in
a common purpose to defy the law, re-
sist its officers aud deprive any por-
ton of their fellow citizens OF their
rights under the constitution and the
laws" And then after making def
milton to suit the Case he deduces,
very easily indeed. the following: at
is state of war when business plant
has to be surrounded by the army of
the state to protect it. from unlawful
damage at the hands of former en-
ploves."
The statutes OF the several states re-
atlng to treason are very nearly uni-
form and every one knows that the
gravamen of reasonable act is the
intent to subvert the government. Ac-
cording to Judge Parsons definition
large body of men can do no unlawful
act without committing treason, for
the defiance of the law, resistance of
its officers and the depriying of citi-
zens of their rights comprehends all
unlawful acts. A man may be fined
for resisting an officer or for creating
a disturbance and he may be impris
oned for theft or fighting but when a
supreme court judge says that all that
is needed to make either of these Of
lenses treason. punishable by death,
is the banding together of several men
to commit them, he is guilty OF an alb
surbity which can hardly be condoned.

JUDGE LANES III. ROBERTSON.

Although party organization seems
q thing rather honored in the breach
than the observance among Texas
Democrats this year, yet as 1t Ia boldly
claimed that this is SO because of an
attempted innovation upon Demo-
cratic methods and departure from
them, it behooves all good Democrats
the more closely to align themselves
with their party's usages, when the
most unfortunate and disintegrating
gubernational contest is not injected
as the bone of contention. In county
affairs this state. wide contest should,
strictly speaking, have no place.
The same business methods should
prevail in the conduct of county as in
city affairs, and in handling private
business interests. Politics, as the
starting point in the bringing out of
candidates for office, are important
only as each party does its best to Be-
lect only such material as is wholly
competent, and such men as will be a
credit to their constituents. When q
party select such men it is not only
their duty, but that Of all men inter-
ested in good government to support
them. When county has such an
admirable official as Judge James H.
Robertson, when his party has unan.
imously re-endorsed him as man of
distinguished legal ability, when his
long course as district attorney and
judge has 80 completely demonstrated
his ability and fitness for the position
to which the Democratic party has
nom mated him, then a true Demo.
crat can not hesitate la his
duty to lend Judge Roberts IN his cor
dial aid and support. For many years
James II. Robertson has held q posi-
ton as legal guardian in this judicial
district. He stands above reproach a |
good citizen, an able lawyer, a just
Judge. In his canvass for reelection
to the judgeship he can fearlessly in |
vite criticism of his record. On that
record and the nomination OF his party
be asks your suffrage. The STATES
MAN predicts his election by hand

FRANK G. MORRIS FOR DISTRICT
,JUDGE.

In these times of hot political strife,
when party lines are drawn 30 tight
~, when "isms" flourish and every
man rallies at the tap of his own poll
tical drum, rare indeed is it to find a
man who stands out as the agreed
champion of several parties. But
such case is now illustrated by Mr..
F. g. Morris. He was and is the
choice of Travis county's Democracy
for the judgeship of the Twenty-sixth
judicial district. lie was nominated
to that position by this county in the
district judicial convention and still
has the Democracy of this county
pledged to his support. But lin ad-
dition the Republican and the Third

.plete ticket from top to boltom-nen
whom it has chosen as eminently
qualified to administer our county
and district affairs.
On that Democratic ticket is found
as the party's choice for district attor-
ney the name of A. s. Burieson. In
presenting this name to the people OF
this district the party was not pass
ing upon an untried man, it was not a
step in the dark, but action along the
clear way of precedent, way illu-
mined by the true and splendid re-
cord of A. s. Burleson in the very
office to which, upon that record, his
party handsomely in Travis and
unanimously in Williamson nomi-
mated him. Such Endorsement
of his trial in, the
office of district attorney speaks
for itself and needs no words of COM
ment to strengthen it's import. Mr..
Burleson stands as his party's candi-
date today as he stood when tirst.it
nominated him. To that party he
must look for endorsement Of it's con-
yention's nomination. To loyal Demo-
Gratis he trusts his cause, and all good
citizens who believe in the rigid, fear
less and successful administration of
the laws should gather to his support,
whose record has proven his splendid
for the Office of district attor-
ney. The people of Travis and Will
Hanson counties know when they
have a good thing, and Mr.. Burleson
can confidently count On his election
by handsome majority.

A BUZZ SA W.

Governor Hogg declares that the
Galveston News is "perfidious and
corrupt" and the News retorts that it
has not concerned itself about Gov
ernor Hogg as person, but as "sin-
lister personification." The person
ality and the official capacity for evil
is keenly and concisely drawn, but it
adds a definition of the "sinister per-
sonality" as "a baleful apparition, per-
sonifying all that is worst in the des-
potism and voracity of machine poll
tics, all that is worst in professional
agitation of class prejudices, class
hatreds and class CAPABILITIES to the
final injury OF all classes and to the
mortal peril of free institutions" DR.
Johnson could not have been more apt
in definition or Byron more csustic in
language when he impaled the woman
on the gibbet of infamy who estranged
his wife's affections from him.
Born in a garrett" etc.
The News, however, desires to be
considered impersonal, takes the gov
ernor outside of his individuality as
personating all these things. Well,
there are distinctions and there are
differences, but there are many dis.
tinctions without differences. The
governor seems to be fooling with a
buzz saw when he lights into the
News.

have endorsed him, and the voters Of
each of these parties will support him.
Truly Mr. Norris work for the people
of this city and county has been APP
preciated at its proper value, and he
is held in the estimation he has well
earned.
With such united following OF all
political parties Mr.. Morris crosses
the border into Williamson county
with prestige that must and will be
appreciated by her people. When
all parties in his home county agree
upon man, then in him there must
be merit, there must be eminent fit
ness for the position to which he as
pires, and to which he has been so
unanimously nominated. The people of
Williamson county are urged to look at
the question in this light, to
take Travis county's pledge that Mr..
Morris will make a district Judge who
will not detract but add to the lustre
Of the splendid judicial history of this
district. Williamson has it's part and
duty in electing such worthy judge,
and on this ground the vote of that
county is asked and expected for Mr..
Morris that the district, being practi-
cally unanimous in his election, may
have general cause for self-gratula-
tion over his able conduct of office.

office. But now Palacio is seen many

stylish yellow wheels, drawn by q
pair of spruce brown horses. His
coachman and footman wear dark

ELECTION METHODS.

Manv charges and surmises have
been made on both sides OF the guoer-
material canvass OF the unfair and
dishonest methods that the other side
will, resort to in the last hours OF the
canvass. when it is too late for the
other side to do away with the effects.
Perhaps more charges have been
made of intended fraudulent methods
than either side believed Of the other
and while it must be acknowledged by
all just and fair men that the people
who support Governor Hogg are just
as good men as the people who sup
port Judge Clark and vice versa, IL
must also be admitted that there are
men on both sides, who would resort
to any campaign trick to elect their
man.
There is but one way for
each side in this contest to
prove that they are as pure
and honest in their methods as the
other side, and that is for the support
ers of both competitors to insure
fair election and an honest count.
Honest men are largely in the ma
jority on both sides, and men OF such
character are responsible for the con-
troll of the election methods, and can,
il they choose to exercise their legiti-
mate influence and authority, prevent
anything unfair or dishonest to be
practiced by the more elastic con-
sciences OF their associates.
As far as the supporters of Judge
Clark are concerned, within the circle
Of its personal knowledge. THE

none but fair and honest means
will be used to promote the election
Of their candidate.

he commented Severely upon the ap-

mission. Mr.. Reid as editor of The

McVeigh's attack on Eagan was
leveled at the Irish.
McVeigh made second speech in

Egan upon the assurances of Mr..

ter Egan had gone on his mission Mr..
Reid had said he (Egan) was fugi-
