to Judge Gresham VIII arouse
strong opposition. Gresham is an
aspirant to the presidency, and
flirted with the Third party last
year. He is a shrewd politician,
of a trimmer, from con-
of policy, and he would
endeaVOr to use a position In
Cleveland's cabinet as a spring
board from which to vault into the
presidency, regardless OF the unity
of the democratic party. He is
thoroughly selfish man, shrewd,
polite and cunning, and he would
scheme to succeed Cleveland.
Brennan Banner:
Gresham is doubtless good
man, but there is too much Repub-
licanism in him for Democratic
office seekers for foreign missions
to get anything. He will probably
retain all the foreign representa-
tives that want to be retained and
who have performed their duty.
This mugwump policy of Cleve-
lands is the only thing that the
Democrats have against him, and
at one time beat him for the presi-
dency.
Rockport Times:
Representative Deans resolu-
ton, now pending before the Texas
Legislature, to amend the COnSti-
tuition $50 as to require a railroad
that passes within ten miles of a
county seat, to pass through it," is
equalled only by the fellows gen.
erosity when he said to his friend,
"if ever you come within mile of
my house, | want you to stop
there ~
Sherman Register:
While the governor is no especial
pet of ours, still we do not rejoice
to see him in trouble and we feel
sorry for him at present. He did
not choose his leaders in that
House and Senate, and for his sake
we are glad this is true. Think Of
the chief executive trying to make
a record, working every point for
all it is worth, and hampered by
such leaders as GOssett and I'M
bOden. His worst enemy could not
have wished him worse fate.
Bracket News:
The Outburst of human passion
at Paris was extreme but until we
are quite sure that under the same
circumstances we would not have
been equally incensed we cannot
say that Lamar County ought to
hang. Let him that is innocent
cast the first stone. We hope and
pray that all that iShuman in us
may never be aroused as it was in
the mob at Paris.
Houston Pos
And now they are beginning to
talk about how they are going to
edo up" Senator Coke two years
hence. "Old Brains" may not be
quite so frisky as he was, but his
enemies will still find him aWfully
hard to carry.
DeniSon Herald:
The discovery of a new kind of
micrObe on bank bills has not Great
ed the panic that the discOVerer
hoped it would. Everybody is will
ling to take all risks.
New York Tribune:
If there ever was in the history
of American states a revolution
airy usurpatiOn of power in order
to secure a pretended majority
in Legislature, such a case is
presented in Kansas.
Greenvlle Herald:
The fact cannot be concealed that
the selection of Judge Gresham for
a cabinet position by Mr.. Cleveland
does not meet the approval of a
large majority of the democratic
leaders. While this is to be regret
ted, it might be we'll enough to re-
member that most of these leaders
opposed vehemently the nominal
ton of Mr.. Cleveland for the pres
idency.
Bonham News.
We are almost afraid for our
legislature to turn loose on the
school law again, but we think if
it would pass law requiring trus-
tees to be elected for a term of
three years, one every year, and
allow them to contract with teach
ers for a like period, it would be
the best thing that could be done
for the schools of Texas.
