II would be enough to make horse
laugh-a Republican horse, that is-if
Texas were this year to elect Republic
can Governor. 1t is not impossible, but
If the things to be done the Republic
cans must drop the "lily white nom
sense and attend strictly to business.
The Democratic convention broke up
in row and two tickets are in the field,
one headed by Gov. Hogg representing
the mossbacks, the other headed by
George Clark representing the younger
element in the party. Hogg won be-
fore by plurality of ls4, 900, which
was $4,000 more plurality than Cleye-
land got in 1888. But even If the DEM
ocrats were united they could not hope
to equal Hogg's former record. as this
year the unpopularity Of Cleveland will
pull down the Democratic vote. Under
any circumstances the vote would be
smaller than in 1888 because the free
wool proposition would be death blow
to the Texan sheep ranches. Divided,
neither faction can accomplish much.
But the Republicans are divided also,
and the regulars and the "lily whites"
are to hold separate conventions. Ii
they have an atom of common sense
they will come together before Novem-
Der. This might be great year for
them. The lilly white movement al
ways was foolish one, anyhow. The
Republican party cannot afford to de-
spise any of its members in Texas.

Enticing but vsnishing Rainbows.

This plan of campaign is conspicuous
ly lacking in novelty and brilliancy. It
has been tried before, and it brought
ridicule on its promoters and operators.
1t didn't win. On election day the rain
bows disappeared. Conditions are not
vitality different from those of four years
ago. The rainbows are brighter and
more enticing, that's all. But they are
rainbows just the same. The northwest
is not going into the Democratic column
this year. This is q presidential cam
paign. Important issues are at stake.
The people will vote on those issues with
intelligence and circumspection. They
will not be fooled into an Endorsement
of free trade.-Detroit Tribune.

Ignorant Would BE Tariff Tinkers.

AS for any systematic revision Of the
Mckinley law, it has not been attempt

Bile Of the work. Mr.. Cleveland is as
incompetent to draw tariff reform bill
as he was six years ago, when he con-
fessed he did not know thing about it.

great sugar question. There is talk

Stevenson and Harrity are a precious
pair. They are spoilsmen of the ex-

under Cleveland's administration, and
Harrity as postmaster of Philadelphia

civil service reform law. It was becom-

VIRGINIA has had law-now declared
unconstitutional = under which men
convicted of petty larceny could be dis
franchised. The convenience Of the ar
rangement was that lists Of convictions
were sent over the State and all colored
men bearing the same name with any
unfortunate who had been hauled up
for appropriating chicken or water
melon were struck from the voting
lists. Twenty-eight George Washing
tons are said to have suffered for the
pecadillo of one namesake of an illus
trious citizen. This is 'white suprem-
acy," but it's not outside the bounds
of possibility that in spite of it Vir-
ginia's twelve electoral votes may go
to Harrison.
