u. A. ROBINSON.

d. A. Robinson, of Dallas, president
of the Republican League, of Texas,
was born in Belmont county, Ohio,
on June 2lst, lS4S, and was educated
in the public schools of his native
county. At the early age of 16 he
had prepared himself for and entered
the school room as teacher. He
emigrsted TO Linn county, Missouri
in 1866, where he taught in the public
schools for q few terms, and after
wards as a preceptor inthe Brookfield
academy, now one OF the most flour
ishing colleges in North Missouri.
Soon after he attained his majority
he was admitted to the practice of the
law, but the vigorous climate of Mis-
| souri, broke his health and cOmpelI ed
him to seek restoration under the
genial warmth Uf q southern sun. He
| came to Dallas, Texas, In 1876 and de-
voted five or six years to the develop
| ment of two or three railroad enter
prises, notably the Dallas Il Wichita
and Texas Trunk. He was superin-
tendent OF the former while in the
hands of receiver and q director
and secretary of the latter from its
| organization until { passed from the
control of the original owners.
He afterwards located in Denton
county and entered the real estate
business, in which he has since been
by the unrivs I'D p osperity of that
city, he has since sought for q share
| of the realty business in that metrOp-

in 1870 for McClury for governor of
| Missouri. McClury was defeated by
| B. Gratz Brown, but he be s been per-
sistently voting for republican can
didates since, and while no candidate
for governor or elector for whom he
has ever voted, has been elected, he
feels that his vote has never been
thrown away, and believes with the
professor on political economy at Cor
nell's University, who recently stated
in lecture to his class: "That the
man who negligently fails to vote
commits as great a crime as he who
votes for moneyed consideration,
but Mr.. Robinson goes farther
and alleges that he who Is csjOled
into voting against his political
convictions, in state or national
campaign, by political charlatans and
the specious plea of "expediency"
commits q greater crime than either
of the others, Mr.. Robinson has fill
ed but one elective office, in 1888 he
was elected mayor of the city of Den
ton, not ecause he was a republican,
but because he was a pronounced
public school man and a live pro-
gressive citizen. In 1880 he was a
delegate to the national republican

L.. T.. GOODELL.

l.. p. Goodell, of Fort Worth, the
present secretary of the republican
state executive committee, was born
in the little town of Chaplin, Wind
ham county, Conn.,, on the It'll day of
Septembe 1913, a town founded by
his grandfather, and named by him
after the pastor of their little church.
The family is one of the oldest of the
old Puritan families OF New England,
and trace their ancestry back into the
mother country. While he was yet
an infant, the family moved to Mas
sachusetts, where he attended the
public schools until at the age of Is
he entered Phillips academy at An
dover, the oldest institution OF learn.
ing for boys in this country. In the
spring of 1864 he left the academy
and enlisted in the 4th Massachusetts
cavalry, and was Immediately trans
ferred into the signal corps, U. S.
army, where he served with the army
of tue James in all is engagements,
also on both OF the expeditions against
Fort Fisher, at the mouth of Cape
Fear river, In North Carolina, and
from Wilmington to GOldsDorO; from
which place he was ordered back to
Richmond, arriving just in time to be
one OF the first Union soldiers to enter
the city; marching thence to Peters
burg and on to BurksviIle junction,
where Gen. Lee surrendered.
After the close of the war he served
two years as a sailor, visiting the
west coast of Africa aud South Amer
| lea; after which he settled down to
| the insurance business in the office of
| his father.
In 1870 he took Horace Greeley's
advice, and went west, engaging in
| the cattle business for number of
wears, and latterly interested In
mines. He came to Texas in the latter
part of November, 1888, after having
cast his vote for Harrison, and enter
ed into the insurance business in Fort
Worth, being now a partner in the
firm of Swayne, Allen & Goodell in
that city, where he married a grand
daughter of the celebrated Hero of
the Alamo" Davy Crockett.
He has always been an active, ear
nest republican, strong party
worker, and an advocate of reform in
the party in this state, since his con-

Worth and is today its moving spirit;
he is also the End Vice-President of
the State Republican League; an &C.
tive member of the Grand Army OF
the Republic of this department, and
one of its most prominent representa-
tives, having been a strong candidate
for department commander at the last
encampment at FL Paso in March.
At the age of %, he was elected to
the position OF clerk OF the town In
which he lived; but with that eXcep-
ton has never held public office. HIS
political experience has been varied
and extensive, and his Influence has
always been given to the best inter-
ests of the republican party. At this
time he engaged in an extensive cor
respondence with the republicans OF
the south, looking to the propagation
of what is known as the "Lily-white"
movement through the southern
states. Whatever he takes hold OF,
he pushes with energy, aud STAN ps
it with his individuality.

The Great Contest in New York.

The Great Contest in New YORK.
NEW YORK, Nov. There is the
usual lull before the storm, the usual
serenity before the intensity of excite
ment, which follows in the wake of
the Niagara ballots. Here all the
booths are ready, all the election in
spectors will be at their posts at day
break and all the reserve police Will
be out at midnight tonight to oegin
long days vigil. At the office OF John
l. Davenport three hundred deputy
federal marshals are being named
who will undou btedly come into con-
flicr with Tammany's warriors. Both
sides are ready to contest every chal-
lenge to fight for every vote that is
willing to be cast for them. The state
and city committees today closed con-
tracts tor the use of over tive num-
dred hacks and wagons in Whlch
voters who are physically inCapaolst-
ed will be taken to the polls. But
there will be many changes in the
manner of voting since 1888. since
that election almost every state in
the Union has adopted an election
system based OH that of Australia.
Massachusetts took the initiative. ln
1889, following the example OF that
state, the legislatures of Indiana,
Mon tana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,
Tennessee, Minnesota, Missouri,
Michigan and Connecticut, in the
order given, passed laws adopt
ing the new system of voting.
Most of the laws passed ad-
hered closely to the Massachu-
setts form. The Connecticut form
varied from it more than the others.
In 1890 laws which are more or less
notifications OF the Australian sys-
tenn were adopted by the legislatures
of Washington, New York, Mary
land, New Jersey and Vermont. In
1891, the legislatures of the states OF
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Dela-
ware, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Neoras-
ka, Nevada, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota
and the territory of Arizona adopted
laws based on the Australian system,
In 1892 Iowa followed and this
leaves but few states under the old
system.

A Morning Robbery.

Early this morning the news of a
robbery at the Globe hotel on South
Flores street, spread over the city.
Later Officer Easterly called at the
place and learned that in a room in
the second story, there were sleeping
four men in separate beds; that one
of the number, George Grady, had
robbed another of some money and
that he had been seen by a third
party. The officer aroused the sup
posed thief aud searched him finding
one dollar in paper in his pocket. He
was arrested and a charge OF being .
suspicious character was made
against him. This morning Grady
appeared before Recorder Devine and
pleaded not guilty to the charge.
When the bill was produced he said
he knew nothing of it, being quite
"slick" in making the assertion, as
he saved himself from being charged
with theft under $40. The judge
heard the evidence and fined him SIS
or twenty-five days. Grady claims he
is q railroad man from Colorado, and
is q picture OF vice.

Big Betting in New YORK


New YORK, Nov. 7.-Betting has

the election. AS this can be seen for
fitty miles about New York it will be
watched with great interest. The

platforms in front of the Greedy
statue and will have the usual
crowd of thirty or forty thou
sand sight seers to cheer re-
