POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The editors of the Farmers World and of
the Waco Day are still disputing as to
whether Judge Clark used the following
language in his Waco speech:
1.-The jury resented Governor
Hogg's interference in the Alice trial and
acquitted him. Thank God FOR it, whether
the man was guilty or not! The governor
of a great state has no business interfering
In low down prosecutions.
The editor of the World says he was
present and heard the expression; the
editor OF the Day intimaJes he knows Clark
didn't say it. Here's another issue Of
veracity.
Pillow and Hammer says modified COM
mission means ultimately no commission.
The Hondo Herald is not pleased with
either of the gubernatorisl candidates.
The Pecos News predicts Hogg will lose
his job next March.
The SmithviIle Monitor says the people
who were clamorous for Hogg and com
mission two years ago, have had their eyes
opened.
The San Antonio News wants the guber-
Material lists kept open.
The Cotula Ledger says Governor Hogg
has tried harder TO diminish crime than
any governor before him.
The Yoakum Times declares for third
nan.
The Hico Courier says while the Hamil-
Ton county convention instructed for Mills,
a maiority of the Democrats of the county
are for Chiffon.
The San Antonio Express says John Ire
land would not decline the senatorship if he
were elected as 4 compromise candidate.
Perhaps not.
The San Angelo Standard says it has been
converted from attachment for Governor
Hogg; that he means well, but we over
estimated his thinking apparatus.
Tho Temple Sun fires a broadside at
"corpcration politicians
The Denison Herald says Clark is taking
North Texas by storm.
The Temple Times says somebody viii

threatens to recede with a violence
equally resistless. One year railway
commission is the blessing which is to
rid the state of ali evils, another it is
the curse which has brought upon it
all evils. The hero of yesterday is the
political outcast OF to-day.
Such has been the course Of state
politics since the overthrow of the
Davis regime, marked by few issues OF
real importance, but marred by the
bitterness of individual contest for SUI
prenacy.
One of the most important questions
that has arisen in recent years related
to the public lands. It was question
peculiarly for the temperate and dis
passionate mind. Sectional prejudice
could not have been more out of place
than when intruded upon it. Yet sec
tional prejudice rushed to the front,
raised a great hullabaloo, and so in
famed the body of the people that
those who were conscious of the truth
were afraid to speak it, and Demo-
cratic state convention was disgraced
by the denial of hearing to minor
ity which it is now known represented
the public interest. Slowly the con-
seriousness of having been deceived for
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT dawned upon
the public mind, and those who were
held responsible were relegated to inn
penetrable obscurity.
Through and through, state politics
are infected with this poison of intol-
Grant, personal politics. The state has
become playground for a game Of
ball between rival politicians, and as
each in turn triumphs, the other side
is Inundated to the last degree posi-
bic. The state is at last the only heavy
sufferer, for in the progress of the game
each side is likely to come to the front
and participate in the sDoils.
It has been the fortune of THE GA
zETTE; usually, to be with the minor
ity, because in contests of passion, it is
most important to restrain the violence
of the. majority. Fortunate would it
be, if the present state of things should
impress upon the conservative ele-
ments, who can control, if they will,
the necessity for a reorganization of
political forces upon basis which will
make high Office in Texas something
more than the prize of adroitness or
the award of personal favoritism.

think the other country has ''turned loose"
before long.
The Texas Western takes three-quarters
of column to tell why neither Hogg nor
Clark should be nominated. It does not
think Hogg's ''disqualifcations qualify
George Clark, the embodiement Of the cor
porate control idea"
The Ellis County Mirror says: 'Don't
scatter on possibilities, but concentrate on
the one availability, James S. Hogg."
The Palestine Times suggests Mr.. W. D.
Cleveland of Houston for GAZETTE posi-
bility.
Commenting on his appearance in TIE
GAzEITE's possibilities, the Herald
says ''Charlie Culberson would make a
good race for governor, and the Times
Herald would like to see him formally en-
tered"
The Athens Review says: ''The rail-
roads have favored the Gal-Dal. News
with another train to aid in the delivery Of
that paper to its patrons. The News and
the railroads are doing all they can do to
elect Clark governor. This done and they
would have Texas grabbed"
The Snyder Coming West says about
year from now railroad surveys viii be
pointed toward West Texas.
The Lockhart Photograph says it would
be difficult for the convention to find dark
horse who would prove more distasteful
than either Hogg or Clark. " It says ''if
we must have one or the other, give US
HOgg."
The Pittsburg News wants to see Judge
W. P. Mclean in the gubernatorial race.
The BRENNAN Herald thinks Walter
Gresham of Galveston is possible dark
horse.
The Crockett Economist calls him the
"didapper of Waco"
The San Marcos Light says if Judge
Clark is not schemer or trickster then
is a large slice of his reputation gone.
The Williamson County Sun says Mr..
Mills does not represent the state on the
silver question.

KIND WORDS FOR HILL.
a New York Republican Ex-AssembIyman
Utters Them.
Minneapolis Tribune.7


Utters Them.
Minneapolis TribuneI
Hon. William c. Stevens of Malone, n.
Y, who served as a Republican member of
the New York assembly several years, ar
rived in Minneapolis yesterday, and will
spend week In the city as the guest of
Reeve S. Keller and other eX-Malonites.
Mir. Stevens service as member of the
New York legislature was all during Gov
ernor Hills time at the Albany state house.
He came In contact with the great idol OF
Tammauy a good deal, and has some inter
esting things to say Of him. In discussing
the Democratic presidential aspect, Mr..
Stevens says:
cleveland is not in it, using the language
of the politician. Senator Hill controls
absolutely the New York delegation to the
national convention. He also has control
of the national committee. He can have
the nomination if he wants it. DO doubt
he wants it, No, but he is a remarkably
shrewd politician, and If he sees any great
showing of opposition to himself, and
thinks that to press his candidacy would
make trouble in doubtful and Democratic
states, he would not be a candidate before
the convention. He would then dictate the
nomination. Senator Hill is a great
man. He can see more in a minute than
most people can see in an hour. He is re-
marKably brainy man, with keen foresight
and mastery comprehension OF the great
issues of the day. Personally, he is en-
tirely above reproach. He does not touch
intoxicating liquors, and is absolutely cor
rect in his personal morals in other ways.
he is man whose personal conduct might
well be emulated by every young man in
the country Senator Hill is a politician,
and a thorough one. His methods are
clearly those of a great and de-
termined man IN politics. He is
great party man, and that is
wherein he stands head and shoulders
above Cleveland. A politician is the man
for tho presidency anyway. Hill is very
close TO the hearts OF the people of New
York state. This fact was made very ap-
parent at county fair given in Northeast
ern New York last fall. The association
got Senator Hill TO deliver an address. A
reception was rendered him. There were
10000 to $4,000 people present He shook
the hand of every man, woman and child.
As chairman Of committee l introduced
the people. There was not an exception to
the sentiment, Here's for 1892, as the
Democratic voters shook his hands. Some
OF those Democrats walked away with tears
in their eyes, so you can Judge Of how much
they loved their governor"

rNroLERANr POLITICS.

1t is not good omen that the state
campaign displays so much of personal
vlrulence, and popular passion at its
beginning. Wise Judgment upon i'm
portant issues is not to be reached in
such a spirit. Whatever may be the
incentive to excitement, the people
owe it to themselves to give temperate
deliberation to affairs of state.
The present inAammst ton of the
public mind, is the result of disease
Of long standing in Texas politics.
The cause of that disease is said by
some to be the large Democratic ma
jority, which makes all opposition use
less. Whether this be or be not the
origin, the disease itself is easy OF
diagnosis 4t is a bad case of intolerant
politics. No matter which way the
tide rolls, it rolls high. Two years

THE Waco Day denies the statement
Of THE GAZETTE that Col. Tom Brown
Of Grayson was the chief builder OF
the commission law. 1t says he was
for an entirely different sort of COM
mission, and that the governor wrote
the existing law. The GAZETTE leaves
the issue thus raised to Col. Brown and
the Day. For itself, it could never
think of questioning the infallibility of
the Day on any subject, from the creed
Of the Stoics to the best way to mix
Tom and Jerry.
