ArrEND rHE PRINIARIEs.

The Democratic ward primaries will
be held next Friday evening at
o'clock, notice of the time and places of
the several primaries having been
given in yesterdays GAZETTE.
There are many reasons why all the
Democratic voters of the city should
attend these meetings. The city was
never more in need of prudent, con-
sentative and economic management
than at present. If she fails to obtain
it as the result of the next election, it
will be because of the Indifference of
the mass of voters to the important
duty of selecting candidates.
Why should not the attendance upon
these primaries be as large as the
Democratic vote next April?

THE FIGURES TELL.
How the Two Men Stand in the Empire
State
ATLANTA Constitution

ATLANTA Constitutional
The Buffalo Courier makes a great spread
to explain the facts shown in a recent edi-
torial in the Constitution, showing wherein
MIR. Cleveland lost his home county in his
second race for the presidency, while MIR.
Hill carried it. The featherhead press
publishes the Courier's explanation with
editorial comment. 1t will be interesting
to observe that even the Courier, one of the
most intense of all the featherheads, ad.
mits:
That Mr.. Cleveland lost his home county
in 1854
That he lost it at the next election in lSS:
BY almost double the loss of 1854.
That Mr.. Hills plurality for governor
was more than five thousand in 1883, at the
time that Mr.. Cleveland lost his home
county by more than two thousand.
That Mr.. Hills vote for governor ex-
ceeded that of MIR. Cleveland for president
in 1855, in New York, by 1851.
OF course the Courier endeavors to ex.
plain away all of these discrepancies and
the uniform victories of Governor Hill by
arguing that Mr.. Cleveland is really the
most popular of the two in New York.
Questions Of this sort are always most
surely decided by appealing to the records
Accepting the facts and figures as given by
the extreme featherhead press, the. incon-
trovertable argument remains that Mr. Hill
is very much the stronger of the two in
New York.

RIFLE BALLS.

The two great political changes of 1892
are Mr.. Blaine from king to king-maker
and Judge George Clark from king-maker
to king.
Mr.. Blaine says Of the report that he is
to withdraw from the cabinet: 'It's an in
fernal lie" His choice of adiectives sug-
gests that he suspects Mr.. Quay OF having
seth story afoat.
The big spot on the sun, which you may
see now with a smoked glass, is estimated
to be 10000 by 14O,OO0 miles in size. May
be they have visitations on the sun similar
to the raid of grasshoppers upon Kansas.
NJ Constans aspires to the presidency of
the French republic, but in that tickle ma
ton his name is fatally against him.

the things that should go, and seem in no
hurry about going.
McAllister's 400 has been reduced to $50.
The split probably occurred over dispute
as to the proper favoring for soup. New

great issues this year.

Heaven and Hades, whichever way your
thoughts chance to be drifting at the par

young man of twenty-one, has been married

Walter A. Crowdus, aSouthern inventor,
thinks he has discovered a method whereby
electricity may be sold by the gallon and

without her husbands knowledge, chance
to divert the family jug to such use.

TO MEET IN MARCH.

It is likely that our Austin CORE
spondent has not gone wide of the
mark in predicting that the special
session of the legislature will be called
together about the middle Of March.
1t is desirable, if re-apportionment
is to be made this year. that the dis
tricts should be readjusted in time for
new allignments to fit themselves to-
gether for the fall elections.
Candidates ought to know as early
as possible to what constituencies they
must appeal, and those of doubtful
mind-about congressional honors, for
instance-should speedily be advised
where they are to land.
There are any number of good rea-
sons why this special session should
not be delayed until midsummer.

THE professional politician is one
thing, and the Democratic voter not
wanting an Office is another. The
voter not in search of an Office, has no
trades to make that involve sacrifice
of his principles. If he can't get a
change in the financial system and tax
reduction, what difference does it make
to him who draws the salary? If he
can't get free coinage and an extension
of the free list to implements OF agri-
cultural and mechanical labor, and
necessaries of every day consumption,
he is no better or worse off with one
man or another in Office. The average
voter is finding this out. and bugaboo
politics don't scare him.

Decatur Post.1

The policy inaugurated by Governor Hogg
while Encouragement, and continued since
his induction into the gubernatorial Office
has done the state of Texas more harm than
all the bad legislation in her past history.
During Ross two terms the state was I'M
precedentedly prosperous. Railroads were
built and the march OF development was
seen on every hand. But the policy of the
present administration soon wrought a
change. Capital has been withdrawn from
the state, and railroad building is a thing
of the past Hard times aud worse coming
is the cry on every hand. The response
bility for this condition of affairs is largely
due to the present executive, and to bring
about former prosperity it is absolutely
necessary to retire James S. Hogg to Tyler
citizenship,

& CHANCE FOR A DEMOCRAT.

The proceedings Of therecent Repub-
Gcan congressional convention held in
Cleburne don't go, according to Chair
man Gillespie. He has issued a call
for meeting at Austin, at the time Of
the state convention, to select dele
gate to the national convention, can
didate for elector, and congressional
committee, and to take such other
steps as may be thought necessary, one
of which, we presume, will be to ignore
the nomination OF Alderman Drake
for congress and to make new nomi-
nation.
A little more Republican inharmony
in this district may make it possible to
slip through to success the Democratic
nominee for congress.

InsidIous Attack.

There is something of more Importance
before the people at this time, and chief
among them is the state issue of railroad
regulation or the commission. Upon this
issue the combined powers of the plutocrats
are marshaling all their forces and using
all their ingenuity in planning schemes to
carry on the campaign. Their main attack
will be made upon Hogg, with the plausible
and popular theory of an elective commis-
sion, underneath of which Is vile, hypo-
critical, deceptive and fatal knife that is to
give the fatal stab.

AN occasional truth will slip out,
even from a mugwump. The New
York Times, after haranguing the peo-
pie of New York in behalf of the Muir
ray-Hill bolt on the ground that Mr..
Hill is representative of free silver,
utters this wall:
Meanwhile the business men of the coun-
try and of New York continue to face the
prospect with equanimity that seems amaz-
ingly like dull stupidity.
This is an admission that the big
proportions of the bolt are all in the
newspapers.

Mr.. HARTER, a new Democratic
congressman from Ohio, is making
himself very ridiculous by his wordy
warfare on silver. The last Democratic
platform Of Ohio contained, if we re-
member correctly, a plank favoring
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.

ROSWELL p. FLOWER voted twice in

THE Democrats of the ways and

port favorably the bill of Representa-

ties, bagging and machinery for bag

This, also, is genuine tariff reform, as
every cotton grower will admit.

THE New York Times, gold organ,
admits that the fate of a free silver bill
would be uncertain in the senate, but
counts upon the presidents veto, and
says that the issue thus raised will de-
eide the general election in favor of
the Republicans. The Times indicates
pretty plainly here its intention to sup
port the Republican ticket, and yet it
is the chief organ of The Murray Hill
bolt, the purpose of which is to force
Mr.. Cleveland upon an unwilling party.
There is little honesty to be found
everywhere except among the mug
wumps.

EDITOR DANA has answered the
question, "What is the matter with

with him is that he was discharged

such a record, he would cut a grotesque

WITH the retirement of Generals
Schofeld and Howard, every army

The New York Herald says the rea-

to secure a solid delegation before he
casts a vote for free silver in the SEN

side-light on the situation.
