POLITICAL CHATTER.

BY OUR DEMOCRATIC CONTRIBUTOR.
To the Daily LIGHT:
On the editorial page of your last
Saturdays issue, suitable comment
is made on the Texas building being
seized by the sheriff Of Cook
county, III. 1t is too bad that the
noble work of Texas ladies, is to be
disposed of by the officers of court,
but surely it is not all gone with
out some chance of some redemp-
ton. Is there no law by which the
admirers of Gov. HOgg can recover
his bust? 1t is no part of the build
ing, and it is too bad to contemplate
that the governor of the state OF
Texas should be auctiOned off to
the highest bidder, to satisfy
claims against the Texas building.
Some HOggite or POpulist should
hasten to the rescue; it cannot be
expected that any Democrat inter-
ests himself in the disposition of
our daubed up governor, but the
man with the depleted treasury
and the expensive railway COM
mission, the constitutional lawyer
who has damned the courts for
differing with his ignorance, who
informs every tramp, "vag" or gen.
uine unemployed workman, that
he will pardon them for any depre-
dations they may commit on rail-
road property, and insists that the
criminal law must be suspended,
and any injury inflicted by them
is merely matter of civil ac-
ton, in order to practice his
demagOgueism, who has asked
for an expensive pardOning board,
just to tell them the pardOning
power rests with him, who felt
hurt when John d. Mccall told
him he could not withhold his en-
dOrsement from true and tried
Democrat and give it to an enemy
of the Chicago platform, and a
supporter Of the car shed apOstacy,
the man whose pet laws cannot
stand the test of our courts
from Supreme court down
to the lowest inferior tribu-
mails, the man who discovered
Horse Head Canyon at an enOr-
nous expense to the state and with
loss to her revenues, the man
whose followers hang Democratic
president in effigY, who hates the
daily press more bitterly than the
devil does holy water, that man
surely must be saved; his picture
must not become the property of a
Swift or an Armour, it must be
saved for his party, it can not be
purchased by a genuine Democrat
or Republican, but surely some
HOggite will save the inside Of the
Texas building and save our Cover.
nor from the highest bidder.
! was induced to write this letter
after reading another paragraph
in the LIGHT, in the nature
Of a question, whether Demo
Gratis and followers of Hogg anC
and Reagan could unite. They can
not unite, HOggites having left
democracy may return, only aftel
repentingly dOffing their striped
clothing and put on the solid color!
they once cast off; Democrats can
not join HOggites.
The LIGHT was also magnani
nous enough to draw attention t.
the fact that if Capt. Schramn
departs for MOntevidio the Oppo
nents of Governor Hogg wOulC
have no chairman or leader. Wei
some is needed, the Opposi
ton to the Governor is S,
great and general that even il
