THE ISSUE IS DEMOCRACY vs.. SOCIAL.
ISM.

ing to the principles of Democracy in
an earnest straightforward manner all
over the state and the issue is now
forced upon the champions of official
spoils. In every county almost the
friends of Judge Clark have taken up
the bedraggled banner of pure and
uudefled Democracy and the indica
tons are that Texas is really and truly
Democratic in theory though not
so overwhelmingly so in
theory as it has been
in practical partisanship, The
camor for a statute for every wrong
real or imaginary has turned the
heads of some, but there is yet enough
OF the old guard to preserve the
cherished principles of the Democratic
party. Here are the specimens Of
the expressions almost daily in some
locality in Texas. The Luling Demo
cratic club;
1--WE believe that in matters Of
Legislation affecting the liberties of tine
people, in their personal or property
rights, the constitution of our gov.
eminent should be strictly construed,
and no rights or privileges granted
thereby should in any way be taken
from the people by legislation or
otherwise, but that the same should be
faithfully and sacredly guarded, that
we may maintain for ourselves and
perpetuate to our posteri,y pure and
free Republican form of government,
with all the rights and privileges
transmitted to US by our forefathers'-
Clark Democratic club, Richmond,
Texas:
The best government is that which
governs least and which abIidge least
the absolute individual rights of the
citizen, and we are opposed to all
sumptuary laws, all laws which nd
toward Capitalization and paternalism,
and all class legislation.
such is the effect of the call for
halt eminating from Hon. George
Clark and his chivalrous, patriotic fol-
lowers all over Texas and their cause
will be the winning cause. The Demo
Gratis of Texas have never yet failed
to rally to the defense of these princi-
plies when they were shown to be in
danger. The song of the socialist set
to a Democratic tune two years ago
fooled some OF our people, but the
true character of the pretended re.
form was made manifest by the acts of
the rwenty-secOnd Legislature and
the dangerous attitude of the present
governor that made it the imperative
duty of every patriotic Texan to Join
the hosts that carry the banner of
pure American freedom and purpose
stoIming the battlements'
of aggrandized officialism and
strike from the limbs of Texas the
shackles that bind her. Governor
Hogg comes before US with the as
founding claim that he alone can save
the Liberties of this people. The Gear

more, but he as a result of acknowl-

of 6SS. For the other Congressman the candi-
dates were Congressman Jolley. Lucas, Vancise,
Washabaugh and Fowler. and on the second
ballot it was given 20 w. V. Lucas. Both con-
gressionnl nominations were dictated by the

AS TO CHAIRMAN HARRIrY,
Leading Democrats Fear He May Not Have
Been a Wise Selection.

Leading Democrats Fear He May Not Have
Been a Wise Selection.
Publicly the democrats comment favorably
on the selection Of Harrity as chairman Of the
democratic national committee. There is some
feeling however, that it may not have been q
wise selection.
Mr.. Harrity was not popular with Tammany
at Chicago, but, for that matter, neither was
Cleveland. There is another thing about Mr..
Harrity which makes certain Cleveland demo
Gratis doubt the wisdom Of his selection. 1t is
that he does not agree with. the mass Of the
party as to the attitude to be assumed in the
tariff fight. He was the leader of the support
of the tariff plank which was knocked out Of
the Chicago platform, and made a hard fight
against the free trade plank that was adopted.
Against the protest Of a minority Ct
the Pennsylvania delegation, he cast the
solid vote of the delegation for the
straddle, while the solid New York delegation
voted the other way. There was a constant an
tagonism between Tammany and Harrity. and
while the former may be willing to assume an
enthusiasm for Mr.. Cleveland it has been felt
by democrats that they would not be as ready
to accept the leadership of Mr.. Harrity in tho
campaign, but might think his selection was
rubbing it on them little. There ia great
deal of anxiety among democrats on this score
The only comfort they get out Of the organi-
cation is in the belief that Mr. Whitney, Mr..
German and Mr.. Brice will be the chief men on
the advisory committee and will dominate the
whole committee.

The worlds fair managers in Chicago are
somewhat surprised at, the reports from
Washington regarding the efforts being made
by Messrs. Devlin and Hayes of the Knights of
Labor to bring complaint against the manage
ment of the exposition before the worlds fair
committee of the House Of Representatives.
-Four weeks ago." said Director Gage,
"while the two gentlemen were in
Chicago We arranged meeting. They
wanted us to agree to minimum
scale of wages, arbitration, eight hours
and something else. He told them it was i'm
possible to fix minimum scale inasmuch as all
the contracts for buildings were let nearly year
ago and the work practically done. They realized
1t was too late to talk about a minimum scale
and We told them the arbitration and eight
hour demands had long since been granted and
added further that any accredited representa-
tive OF organized labor was privileged to visit
jackson Park.
There have been several infractions of the
eight-hour agreement. These have been re-
ported TO US by the president OF the Carpenters
Council, John O'Connell, and in each instance
we brought the offending contractor to terms
This we told Mr.. Devlin and also assured him
the board of directors would welcome any in
formation showing breach Of faith by con-

WILL NOT RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
What Secretary Elktns Said In Letter to tn
State Central COMMITTEES.

What Secretary Elkins Said In . Letter to the
State Central Committee.
Secretary Elkins will not be a candidate for
the Office Of governor Of West Virginia. His
reasons are set forth in . letter to Chairman
Dawson Of the West Virginia republican central
committee, in which the Secretary says:
My name has been frequently mentioned in
the public press in connection with the repub-
lican nomination for governor at the approach
ing convention, and having received q number
Of letters from friends throughout the state on
the subject deem 1t just y the party, fair to
my friends and all concerned to say to you, and
through you to the republicans of the state, that
will not be q candidate for the nomination.
Among the reasons that have moved me to
this conclusion / desire to mention that the
democratic party in the state has raised the
question Of my eligibility on the ground of
residence. While 1 am confident there is no
basis upon which to rest this ISSUE and know
full well that have been resident Of the state
under the constitution long enough to be gov
ernor. IL elected, do not think il prudent to
put in peril the victory which seems now 80
wen assured TO the republican party BY allow
certain events, it might have the sole power TO
decide. The experience had in the case of our
distinguished fellow-citizen and gallant leader,
Judge Gof, is too recent in the history of state
pontics TO permit the republican party to enter
upon any course wherein there may be chance
OF its again being deprived OF the fruits
OF victory. fear also as the campaign
progresses the alleged ineligibility on
the part Of the opposition might create
doubt In the minds Of some, and to some ex-
tent weaken the republican ticket. For nv
part want to leave no doubt in the approach
ing contest. 1t is widely known that for more
than twelve years I have been identified with
the state in u business way and that have done
all could to advance its material interests. and
that during this time have not only claimed
citizenship in the state but have never voted
elsewhere. Then. again, have more readily
reached the conclusion just stated, and with
entire satisfaction. because all know that the
republican party holds within its ranks many
able men under whose leadership the state can
be carried. and as to whose residence no ques-
ton can be raised, and no pretext brought for
ward for opposing the exercise of the duties of
the office OF governor after the election Of the
candidate that may be nominated. feel fat
tered at the good words and good expressions
that have come to me from all parts Of the state
and am not only grateful but deeply thankful
for the same, and the manifestation of conf
dence on the part of my friends.
