man than the assumption OF right on
the part OF a few delegates to city
convention selected as mere agents OF
the peoples viii upon a particular mu-
nicipal subject, and having no repre-
sentative capacity outside Of municipal
affairs, to undertake 10 dispose Of Tar
rant county's vote upon so important a
matter as the choice OF a United States
senator.
To thus contemptuously ignore the
great body Of voters of the county, not
to speak OF the voters of the city who
were never consulted upon the subject,
was one OF those blunders, which, in
view of what has resulted in the past to
the business interests of the town from
the indiscretion of few individuals,
are objectionable from any point OF
view.
THE GAZETTE speaks thus plainly
because of the vital interests at stake.
and because it is Of more Importance
to every man, woman and child in
Fort Worth, that it should recover
whatever ground it has lost, and go on
to commercial supremacy than that
any candidate should be elected to any
Office. The issues in politics are
largely sentimental, but when cotton
and trade that should come to Fort
Worth go to a village for political
reasons it is high time to wheel about
and change political methods. It may
be very gratifying to the two or three
individuals who engineered the ruse
by which Tarrant county is declared
to be for Mr.. Mills to be able to assure
him that they have settled the matter,
and have the county safely slowed
away in their pockets, but that will
afford no consolation to the merchant
for the loss OF his trade.
From assurances which have been
voluntarily given, The GAZETTE is
able to say to the people of Tarrant
county outside the limits of the city
that Mondays action was in no sense
representative of the sentiments of the
masses Of the people of Fort Worth,
that on mature deliberation the con-
vention would probably have reppdi-
ated the resolution of instructions, and
that Fort Worth seeks no more than
its due share of authority in determin-
ing the will of Tarrant county on the
senatorial or any other question,

A srMPLIrIEn ISSUE,

The two announced candidates for
governor, Judge Clark and Governor
Hogg agree that the railway commits
sion is to be the leading issue in this
summers contest.
Judge Clark's campaign, as indicated
by his speech at Weatherford yester-
day, is to be waged for an elective com
mission, and for such change in the
law as would make the commissions
tariff schedules imperative, pending
appeal to the courts.
The governor, in his interview pub
lished in yesterdays GAZETTE, refuses
to accept the issue rendered on the sub
ject of an elective commission, but re-
fers 1t back to the people, avowing his
belief that the purpose is to weaken the
strength of the law, but proposing to
accept the Judgment of the people
on it.
This limits the railroad issue to the
single point of the effect of tariff
schedules. The governor favors the
present system, under which the com
MISSIONS schedules are operative until
set aside by the courts. Judge Clark
would make them imperative, if con-
tested, until affirmed by the courts.
Happily, there is no complication
here. The issue is very simple one,
and the non-expert can comprehend it
quite as easily as the expert.

WITH all due respect to the anti
silver Democrats of Texas, it must be
conceded that Congressman Fowler OF
New Jersey probably knows more of
Democratic sentiment in his state than
do gentlemen in Texas, 1000 miles
away. Anti-silver Texans tell US free
coinage will cost the Democracy the
vote of New Jersey; but Mr.. Fowler
said the assertion that New Jersey
could not be carried on a free silver
plank was untrue. New Jersey was a
Democratic state, regardless of the sill
yer question. He had carried his dis
trict by an increased majority with a
free silver plank AS to Massachu-
sets, the Democracy has not carried
it since the war, while New Jersey is
as reliably Democratic as Missouri.

THE Democratic caucus of members

THE Democratic caucus of members
of the house Thursday night was a
marked victory for the silver men. 1t
developed that the Indiana members,
the most pronounced OF whom have
been claimed by both sides, would vote
as a unit for free silver Fowler, a
New Jersey member, vehemently de-
MED that his state was against silver,
and said that he had been elected by an
increased majority on platform with
a free silver plank. The fact is grow
ing more and more apparent that the
Eastern interest which opposes silver
and threatens disaster to Democracy
and force bill if free coinage bill is
passed, is straight-laced Republicanism,
not to be conciliated by any amount Of
lodging by the Democratic party on
this subject. The party has nothing to
lose in the East and everything to gain
in the West by courageous fight for
silver.

CAPT. FRANK BALLS speech in
favor of the retention of the railroad
commission as it is, and against the
Clark idea, delivered before the Tilden
club last night, was well-considered
and forcible argument. 1t is now in
order for representative advocate Of
the Waco man to make reply. There
is no better fighting ground than Tar
rant county, and those who are SO quick
to deliver it to particular candidates
may find that the people are disposed
to do their own thinking this year.
Let the discussion go on.

PROM a PARrY. srANDPoINr.

An exchange asks how it is that THE
GAZETTE, which is not an organ, can
consistently support Senator Hill for
the presidency. The question MAJ not
be unnatural and The GAZETTE will
be as frank as the questioner.
In the first place, his assumption is
incorrect THE GAZETTE is not for
Mr.. Hill, per Sc, for president It
would be quite as well satisfied with
many other men who might be men
toned as with Mr.. Hill. It is for a
Democrat for president. Mr.. Hills
nomination would mean. it believes,
election, and his election would mean a
Democratic president.
The claims of Mr.. Hill upon his
party, great as they are, outreaching
all that has ever been accomplished
before by any New York leader, are

POLITICS VS.. FORT woKTH,s TRADE.

1t is welI-known fact that for years
the business interests of Fort Worth
have suffered as vicarious atonement
for things in city politics which were
resented by the farmers OF Tarrant
county. Every merchant is aware that
cotton goes away from Fort Worth to
other places. some of them minor vii
lagos, and supplies are purchased else
where, because of the unhappy feeling
that has gradually grown up as the re-
suit of political distrust This condi-
ton of things THE GAZETTE has con-
stantly sought to remedy, aud it has
been fought at every point by men who
make politics a trade, and who are
more concerned about small adTan-
tage there than in the growth of Fort
Worth's commerce.
In the game of sly politics which has
driven away the trade of the merchants
no step has ever bean taken that was
more unfortunate or mora likely to in
tensify the bitterness of the country

FOE rnInp NoMINATIoN.

Mr.. Cleveland is candidate for the
honor of heading the presidential
ticket of the Democratic party for a
third time and CT leading it to second
defeat.
Close friends and political admirers
of the ex-president have been assuring
the party that he had no thought of
such an indicate course as an open
candidacy for the presidency, especially
with his own state, county and precinct
avowedly against him. Mr.. Cleveland
is one of those men, however, whose
uses of his friends do not include the
business of advising with them. He
has been told by the hero-worshipers
that he is q superior nature, unlike
other men, better than other men, and
he has been told it so often that he
has, unfortunately, come to believe it.
The result is, he seeks what no other
man in the history Of the republic has
ever been given, chance to ask the
people third time for the presidency.
Grant sought II, but with all of his
military prestige and backed as he was
by the strongest leaders OF his party,
such as Conkling, he met defeat in his
party's convention that served to meas
urably cloud his political record.
Mr. Cleveland is not only candi-
date. announced authoritatiyely, but he
is candidate with platform, and a
negative platform at that-'no free
coinage"
Mr.. Frank Hurd of Ohio, who has
been in close consultation with him at
Ann Arbor, makes the announcement,
and will seek the Endorsement OF the
Ohio Democracy for the candidate and
the platform by asking to be elected q
delegate at large from Ohio to the ma
tional convention.

The editor of the Ell Paso Tribune,
Mr.. A. b McKie, who is an advocate
of free silver, wrote a letter of inquiry
to Senator Hill upon that subject. In
reply, the senator sent him a courteous
note and copies of his Elmira and AL
bany speeches, with the following pas
sages marked:
y had there expounded the principle and
policy of that greatest of Democrats.
Thomas jefferson, who said, The none
tary unit must stand upon both metals.
''Why did silver from 1872 to 1913 abide
every test2
s'At the United States mint the coinage of
silver into dollars, 37l.27 troy grains OF
pure silver in each, was then free to all the
silver of all the world.
Free coinage given to gold, while free
coinage was withdrawn from silver IN 1873,
established the varying inequality of the
dollar in silver TO the dollar III gold.
Free coinage given to both, free
bimetallic coinage, will re-eStabllSh their
ancient and unvarying equality, attested by
the mint the market and the crucible."
competent recoupling of the two ex-
isting free coinages of the world and of the
two existing monetary stocks, is the very
heart of the matter"
''The renewal of their old historic
coupling. Nothing less is the actual
money measure than all of both metals.
Nothing else is at fault,but their recent dis
location
New York Democrats will never sup
port any Federal money legislation save
that which promotes the nations return to
the best money ever known to mankind,
namely, gold and silver, the only legal
tender as Tllden's platform said in 1874,
and these united at a fixed ratio in free bi-
metallic coinage with paper currency,
which is deposit certificate of either
CON-
These significant utterances, thus
emphasized, in the language of the
Tribune, forever set this controversy
at rest in the minds of all fair-minded
persons. The great point is whether
or not Senator Hill is in favor OF the
free coinage of silver. On this point
we think there can be no question:"

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS of Massa-
chusetts says he voted for Mr.. Mills for
speaker because Mr.. Mills had said that
free coinage was not Democratic is
sue, but on the contrary, in
1888 the Democracy defended the ad-
ministration of its president, who was
attacked by the Republicans for his
efforts to demonetize silver. Massa-
chusetts is furnishing plenty of testi-
mony to show why Mr.. Mills financial
views are acceptable to Massachusetts.

A FORT WORTH politician has given
the comforting assurance to the Dallas
politicians that he speaks the senti-
ments of Fort Worth and Tarrant
county and that the people of both
town and county are all for one man
and all against another. IT saves a
community a vast deal of trouble for
its political affairs to be vested in the
exclusive management of one man. II
gives them plenty of time to attend to
crops and business.

MASSACHUSETTS AND THE INTER
STATE COMMERCE LAW.


The interstate commerce law was en-
acted against the deter mined opposi-
ton. of Massachusetts,, which fought
the bill at every step OF its progress
through congress. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that a bill for its repeal
should come from representative of
that state. Mr.. Morse, whose bill has
lust been introduced in the house. The
opposition to the law in the Bay state
is grounded entirely on selfshness of
the sort that prompted its support OF
the war tariffs and other forms OF class
Legislation.
Before the enacting of the interstate
law, Boston was able through competi-
ton between the Canadian railways
and the trunk lines extending westward
south of the lakes, to command the
same rates on through shipments from
the West that Baltimore and New
York enjoyed. Although the haul was
longer, the rate was the same or less,
as caprice and the spirit of rivalry
would have it. Baltimore and New
York inaugurated frequent and dis
astrous rate wars to hold the trade that
they felt properly belonged to them.
The fight was an unequal one, because
the Canadian roads steadily favored
Boston, aud all agreements looking to
fair division of traffic were broken
almost as soon as made.
The interstate act came to the relief
of Boston's rivals, as they prodted by
the long and short haul clause which
made the haul from the West to E
ton higher than to New York or Bait !
more. The bill provided also that
freight entering Canada from the
United States and returning thereto
should pay duty, unless the rates speci-
fed in the bills of ladIng were no
greater than they would be If the ship
ments were over lines wholly within
the United States. This provision in
the Law took from the Canadian lines

HENRY G. KING.
THE GAZETTE knows Of no man who
would suit it any better for lieutenant
governor, or who would suit the place
better than Representative Browning.
He would give the section he repre-
sents what it has never had and what
it mey justly claim, representation on

Furthermore, if by the accident of
death or otherwise, the lieutenant-gov-
ernor should be called to higher duties

tive, the state would be assured of a

immaterial in considering the selection
OF nominee. The question is not who
is entitled to the nomination. it is who
can most surely win with the nominal
ton. There are those, to be sure. who
say they prefer defeat with their man
TO victory with some other man. The
GAZETTE does not feel that away about
it. Despite its repugnance for phari-
seeism in politics, and for mugwump-
cry in general, it would cheerfully adj
vocate the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
il it were apparent That he stood the
best chance to win. 1t is admitted,
however, by all students of the situa-
ton that his nomination would be the
most foolish thing that could be done
by the party if it includes success
among its objects.
As in the last campaign, New York
is essential to success, The man who
cannot carry New York is unworthy
of consideration from the view of the
party's interest. II has but one man
whose claim of ability to carry New
York is backed by the test of long and
unvarying success. That man is David
Bennett Hill.
If the situation were reversed, and
the Republican party had such a New
York leader as Hill at their COM
mand, it is not to be doubted they
would nominate him without serious
division. They have the advantage of
discipline and unity of effort to OBJ
tain success that for some unexplained
reason are unknown among Democrats.
They recognize leadership. Among
Democrats. it is too often fatal to a man
to succeed too far.
If there were any valid objection to
Mr.. Hills character or his record that
would, of. course, put him out of the
question. He is, however, without q
vulnerable point. Most great men
have great weaknesses. 1t is admitted
by his enemies that the daily life of
Mr.. Hill is beyond reproaeh, and that
it is even free of the vices which are
not commonly charged against men as
faults. His enemies, for lack Of other
things to critfcise, sneer at his freedom
from the foibles and follies of the
average man.
He is much abused. but by whom?
BY Whitelaw Reid, Elliott f. Shepard,
and the mugwump press. What the
occasion of it? His success in wrest-
ing all departments of the state from
the Republicans That may be an OBJ
lection to Hill in some quarters, but
THE GAZETTE will not join in the com
plant.
We trust it is plain enough now why
THE GAZETTE supports Hill, and why
it is that Democrats all over Texas are
rallying around him.
If there is any better man trot him
out; but do not bother the thoughts of
the party with man who is known to
be weak in New York, or who is an IN
certain quantity
