FIGHTING sILvER.

The first opportunity that has been
presented for Mr.. Mills to declare Of
ficially, his attitude as to silver was
presented Friday, and he took it with
out hesitation or reluctance.
He openly signifed his hostility to
silver legislation by refusing to sign a
petition to the committee on rules to
set aside day for consideration and
vote on the free coinage bill.
Mr.. Kilgore had the petition in
charge and secured the signatures of
all other Texas congressman except
Mr.. Grain. The report says he was
slightly indisposed. It is peculiar
coincidence, by the way, that Mr..
Grain is always absent when the silver
question is up for consideration.
In view OF this action of Mr.. Mills,
it is an insult to the intelligence of the
people OF Texas to ask them to longer
regard him as a friend of silver; those
who persist in such plea are either
wilfully duped themselves or are will
ing to dupe the public.
The record is made; it is made by Mr..
Mills himself. He voluntarily joins
hands with the small minority of Demo
Gratis and the Republicans in the lower
house to obstruct the passage of free
coinage bill.
No other man than Mr.. Mills. what
ever might be his private views, would
be willing 20 cast Texas vote against
silver. The impression is out, and it
seems to have reached the Corsicana
statesman, that he is not amenable to
the great law of public sentiment
which usually controls in such cases.
He believes himself strong enough to
defy public sentiment in Texas, and
impetuous counselors advise him that he
may with immunity do so. Whether
he and they are right will be deter
mined before the conclusion of the pres
ent year.

THE WACO cANpIpATE.

Judge Clark's candidacy for governor,
which The GAZETTE was first to
positively announce, is distinctively a
negative candidacy. It is grounded
upon opposition to certain acts and
policies of the present state admins
tration. No doubt as the campaign
proceeds, other questions will be raised
upon which he will declare himself,
but with q choice OF fighting ground
he has deliberately chosen to base his
claims Upon the single proposition that
the administration of Governor Hogg
has been mistake and failure. That
is not the language he uses, but it is in
substance what he says in the inter-
view reported elsewhere.
Judge Clark declares that he has &C
cepted the verdict of the people upon
the commission, and that he has no
war to make upon that institution.
He proposes, however, to change it to
an elective body and to deprive it of
what are called by its critics its judi
cial functions.
1t is doubtful whether those who
voted h commission in can be brought
to regard Judge Clark as a safe exec
utive with whom TO entrust its fate.
He was its most determined and obsti-
nate opponent before the passage of
the amendment, and he stroye during
the last legislature to keep down its
powers to the minimum. Men of
Judge Clark's persistence are not often
converts, and it is not necessary to
question his good faith to assume that
while be acquiesces in the commission,
he warts just as little OF it as possible.

GRANBURY, lex
Editor Gazette.
The readers of THE GAZETTE in this Sec
ton are an investigating sort of people.
We, too, regard THE GAZETTE as one of the
best educators in Texas Fully appreciat-
ing the ability behind The GAzETTE's
management, and knowing so well its
frankness in answering all questions of
public concern, we want The GAZETTE to
tell US in plain, simple terms just what
Stree unlimited coinage of silver' means2
1t is notorious fact that notwithstanding
free silver has been a growing issue for the
past two years, more than half of the peo-
pie do not really know what it means
We, with Mills, believe in tariff reform
first of all measures. 1t IS the only meas
ure before the people to-day that will re-
heve the masses at once-directly. The
present Republican tariff policy is nothing
better than a bold system OF robbery. For
instance: A wool shirt costs 81, which is
50 cents more than it ought to cost. Then
for that one article my pocket is robbed of
so cents. The same applies to three
fourths of the male population of Hood
county. 1t applies to the same proportion
of the male population in almost every
county in the United States. Just think
for moment of taking 80 cents from the
population of the United States on one sin
gle article, what a vast sum! Yet the
same rule applies to almost everything used
that is manufactured. Now to stop this
robbery and let the people keep that per
cent which has been yearly stolen from
them would seem to be the first duty of
the Democratic party. We are not in SYM
patty with the silver craze, so to speak
We have nothing TO exchange for silver,
even if every man owned q sackful.
Thousands are IN the same condition.
What the people most need is a government
that don't rob them-an honest govern
ment. Then we can grow prosperous and
peaceful. Neighbors will then love each
other sbetter The town aud country will
then shake friendly hands All will love
our government, and love for it will make
it q strong one. GEoRGE ". FIrzHuGH

FORT WORTH, TEX
Editor Gazette
In this mornings paper you said, 'sDo
not forget the city council while electing a

not only a good one but very timely, as it
IS the aldermen who are to say how 81, co.,
600 of the peoples money is to be spent in
the next twelve or eighteen months.
think the question for every man who helps
10 pay this 81, Goa, 600 should be, is the man
who I am voting for qualified to assume
this responsibility
Would I as a stakeholder in bank or
railroad vote for this man for q directorl

Inasmuch as two Of the present members
of the city council are now candidates for
mayor, would it not be the correct thing
for. them to tender their designations IS
aldermen, so that the vacancies could be
filed at the general election. and save the
already over burdened taxpayers the ex-
pense of a special electionl It would look
more liberal and patriotic in them than for
them to hang on to one office until they
are elected 10 another.
