WACO, Texas.
This is the home of the genial, genuine
and gusty George, yet his announcement
was not received here with more en-
thusiasm by his admirers than was the
mention of Ed Rotan as a possible candl-
date for governor, by thoughtful and con-
sentative men with quiet satisfaction and
pleasure. Ed Rotan is not an obscure man.
He is as well-knoUn as any purely business
man in the state, yet business men have no
noisy hired heraldS of fame, nor time nor
inclination to extend their title to distlnc-
ton. Fame is a truant dame and IS more
easily won by words than service II II
were otherwise, nothing need be said Of
Edward Rotan. He has given to Texas as
faithful, able and worthy service as any
man within her borders. Like all business
men who have made eminent success he
has never sought, perhaps will never seek,
political preferment. Yet tradition says
there was time, and hope whispers 1t
may come again, when hOnors flowed I'M
sought to those who deserve them. If such
a blessed time should return to US, Edward
Rotan will be forced by his merits to the
highest place. Mr. Rotan is now IN New
York. If he were present the modesty OF
the man might forbid the use Of his name
in this connection, but the writer reioices
in the opportunity of paying this tribute to
his worth. A man is known by his works.
The life work Of Edward Retain is like the
man himself, modestly eloquent, and
mirrors his character.
He was born in 1874 at Sparta. little
village hidden among the mountains Of
Middle Tennessee. He was the only child
of a widowed mother and passed his early
life in his native village. When in his
seventeenth year the war began he was at
college. The guns of Fort Sumpter rever-
berated through the land, and college walls
could not keep out the sound that reused
every Southern bosom, that warmed
manly heart Three weeks after he wrote
to his mother simply sit is my duty" and
before she could reply Joined the Sixteenth
Tennessee volunteers, the regiment com
manded by Col. John &. 5Savage in Cheat
hams brigade Within year young Rotsn
had risen from the ranks to be first lieu
tenant. His record was not more brilliant
than that of many another honest man and
soldier. the memory Of whose deeds, IN
known to history, is yet locked in the
hearts and preserved in the traditions of
our people. The young soldier saw much
service. He fought at Cheap Mountain,
Port Royal, Corinth, Perryville, Murfrees-
boro, Chickanaugs, Missionary Ridge, in
the Atlanta campaign, at Franklin and
many ether less notable engagements.
He WAS left for dead on the field Of
Perryviile. Two comrades, resolved TO
give him burial turned back and found him
not dead, but unconscious from deep shell

The Court Bill
Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette
AUSTIN. TEX, March 19.-The bill offered
in the house to-day by Mr.. Gossett for re-
districting the state judicially, is going to
cause more wrangling than any other ques-
ton before the legislature. The bill which
does not fix the limits of the
judicial districts all over the state, but the
time of holding court in each, is designed
merely as basis for such bill as the COM
m1ttee may decide upon after the question
has been duly considered and all parties
and localities affected by it heard on the
makes ffty-one districts, or one less than
the present number. There is some talk of
adding another county to one Of Tarrant's
district courts.
