| ty in decidi8g what Is meant, OF
what may be eompcehended, within
the phrase "Yurn Texas Loose" 1t
may have been intended by the
author, to convey the idea that ne
| would favor the removal of all uneces-
sary restriction from every person ia
the state both national and artificial.
1t may have been Intended to mega
tive the oft repeated affirmation OF
Gov. HOgg. The unusual circumstau-
ces of Judge Clarks campaign and the
fact that he is supported by all the
| railway corporations in the state, are
suggestive at least, that 1t is great
struggle OH the part of corporations
to be relieved Of state control and re-
gulation. The republican platform
both state andnstioual declare in favor
of proper railway regulation, so there
ls nothing in common between Judge
CLARK and republicans on this pro-
position.
1t is stated that il Clark is elect
ed, large amounts of foreign capital
will be brought into the state rail-
road building will be renewed, aud
other large Industries will be inau-
| gurated and We will have plenty of
cheap money, and all lines of BUSH
ness will be greatly revived. If we
| grant that such would be the case,
then it is painfully suggestive of de-
reelection on the part of our govern
ment at Washington: in failing to
supply in sufficient volume, circula-
ting medium equal to the require
ments of business.
| 1t is humiliating spectacle that
| 65, 00O, 900 people organized into the
best government on the earth are de-
pendent for supply Of money on
| foreign capitalists 1t emphasizes
the argument of the populists, that
| our government is too much under
the con troll of the capitalists of Europe
as well as, of America.
Our people should be taught to rely
| upon our own government to issue
in sufficient amount 10 supply all the
| channals of trade. rather than urged
| to pursue such course, as might sp
peal to the generosity Of some foreign
| capitalists or syndicates 10 lend US
enough to make needed improve
ments, and develop some of our re-.
| sources.
| 1t comedies that the peoples party
| are right in their declarations and
| argument on the money question.
| The republican convention of Fort
| Worth was assembled to put re-
| publican state ticket in the field and
| not to hand over the vote of the party
| to the most Objectionable faction of
| the democracy of Texas, not to turn
| over the party to its ancient enemy
and the life long enemy of labor. The
leaders of the republican party were
| appointed to lead and direct it against
| the enemy but not barter or give it to
| the enemy. Not to betray 1t, as was
| done. The question of transferring
the republican party over TO the sup
| port of any opposing faction was not
J discussed in the primaries nor acted
| upon in county conventions, and the
| action at Forth Worth was without
| authority and contrary to the wishes
of the party; and is in no sense bind
ing on the membership 1t has lead
to confusion and disorganizatiOn, and
cannot be justified. on principle or
policy, IL disbands the party in q
| presidential year when it is all i'm
| portant that we should have thorough
| organization.
| We wonder If Judge Clark land his
followers could, under any circum-
stances, have been induced 10 endorse
the republican party of Texas. The
most inconsistent and unnatural
thing that the republican convention
could have done is just what 1t did
do.
NJ intelligent reason can be given
why a republican should vote for
Clark, while In the absence Of q re-
publican ticket some very good rea.
sons may be suggested why repub-
lican, under the existing circum-
stances, should vote for Judge NJ
gent. Considering the platforms on
which Judge Clark is committed, and
those on which Judge Nugent is
standing, we fad fewer points of
agreement and more points of diss.
greement between Judge Clark and
repu blicans than between Judge NJ
gent and republicans.
| If the entire republican vote were
cast for Nugent it would probably
assure his election, while 1T is appa.
rent, that II the entire republican
vote were cast for Clark it wouId still
fail to elect him. The sentiments of
the people of Texas, without regard
to party, are opposed to placing any
man In high government tai position
who is regarded as the especial rep
resentatives of corporations.
Judge Nugent is without reprOach
in his public and private character,
intelligent thoroughly informed in
the affairs of government, and train
ed in judicial position; ne could do
nothing to unsettle vested rights, and
by applying the principles of equity
in the administration of the affairs OF
state, would give to Texas just con-
sentative and satisfactory admins
tration. Under existing circumstan-
ces. Judge Nugent stands as the re.
preventative OF the moral elements
