The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1894-10-11

A gentleman in an nterview with
a representative of the STATES
MAN, published Monday, attributes
the desire of some Of the farm
ers to flood the country with a
deprecated silver currency to the fact
that their farms are mortgaged and
thew want to pay off the mortgage at
80 cents on the dollar. We do not be-
lieve, if that were so, that the farmers
of Texas whose farms are mortgaged
either by lien for the purchase money
or by subsequent mortgages, are so
dishonest as to desire to take such ads
vantages. The man from whom they
purchased paid good money for the
farm and when they bought, in law
and the court Of conscience they
agreed to pay good money for it, and
we do not believe these farmers would
embarrass the whole country with an
uncertain standard of money in order
to swindle their vendors.
1t is simply silver craze, originating
in the silver mining section OF the
West, and some of our people have
caught the contagion; but they will be
thoroughly cured long before the issue
in 1896 is thrust upon the Democratic
party as the Populists threatened.

of which would De worth only AZ cents
and "a fraction, and the silver dollars
of course would depreciate just as Ihey
have done in Mexico urder the very
same law that the Populists are clans

The advantage would be derived
only by the mine owner who produces
the silver bullion. Texas has no Interest

Poyerty.strickcn and almost forgotten
by generation Of uugrateiul successors,
Michigan's War Governor, Austin Blair,
expired at his humble home in Jackson
on Monday. In all the splendid galaxy
OF patriots who presided over the des-
TIMES OF the northern states during the
crucial years OF threatened disunion, no
name stands out with n brighter lustrc
than that OF Austin Blair. Under his
direction 10000 Michigan soldiers were
sent 20 the front and 10y his tireless
efforts and stirring appeals, millions OF
dollars were sent for the iurthcranco OF the
noble cause. The heroic part he played
in the terrible struggle for the mainten-
anco 81 the union, verifying the truth OF
the old saw "a man il not known until
he dies, I" has never been adequately told.

THAT BARBECUE.

Down at Webbcrvillc, Michigan, there
was nm event OF some local import
ance on Friday Of lRst week. The
Populists OF that section had com.
plcted the harvest Of their oats
and TO celebrate tho event, had toasted
a lean steer and invited congcnial spirits
Of co-radical "ismsn 60 come over with
their mouths and enthuse
As might have been expected, select
coterc Of dcmagogucs panderng TO amy
turbulent political element for the votes
there are in it, was on the scene at an
carly hour. II is also needless TO add
that such humble soulsas Fisher, Nichols
and pingrce, by stress OF circumstances
80 strinrcntly pressed for support at this
particular season, occupied front seats.
The generous hunks OF brown beef are
said TO have presented most inviting
aspect and the same could have been
written in regard to Mr. Pingrce, with the
ainviting" feature omitted. Fresh from
the Grand Rapids convention, where he
had attempted 10 malign the party that
has opened avenues through which he
has been permitted TO arise from the OBJ
security OF the cobblcr'u bench without
record Of return Of services for political
lpreierment, il is not strange that the
mertcd harpoouing towhich hispolitical
corpse has since been subjected should
have puncturcd that bulkiest portion Of
his pondcrous frame until the rompnri-
son with beef, although "odious, per-
haps, would not he unapt.
Dr. Nichols, the populist victim for
gubernatorial ballots opened the icstiyi-
ties by gaudily displaying all the insane
"iogyisms" of the Peoples party yet ex-
tant He sympathzed with his dis.

his coincidence took on II icrvor Of deep

Co relinquish his chances for benefit
through the proposed Pingree bolt. Mr..
Fisher followed and sent forth fresh
flood Of sympathy for the Detroit mayor,
who twill not play because hc cannot

played no desire 10 vacate his chilly
shoes 10 warm the more chilly feet OF
Pingree In consequence, when IL came
| Mr. pingree's turn TO use his mouth, he
appeared, indeed, a political mislit a
man without n party, without n boom,
almost without friend, save n handful
ofdsgruntlcd politicians whom reputable
partisans had long ago dropped. His
remarks were correspondingly doleiul
and consisted chiefly in REPETITION OF
the personal insults TO the eight hundred
delegates who voted for Rich and Bliss
at the Republican state convention and
10 the Republican party OF Michigan in
general At the close Of the great Popu-
list o-Sorchead affair, Pingrec was

the man Burch followed Mr.. Pingree to

tunity Tor shooting on his mouth at

for the man Burch and he desires 10

THAT MACHINE CHARGE.

Hazen S. Pingree, who has been indus
trously employed in making AN assinine
spectacle of himself ever since July 30,
when IL suddenly dawncd upon him that
the people OF Michigan did not want him
for their state executive, Is the only
individual who has thusiar charged
Hon. John T. Rich with corruption. The
man Pingree alleges that Gov Rich en-
ploycd corrupt methods in securing his
recent nomination, making bold TO say
that the votes that gave him the nom
nation we're commodities purchased by
the dollars OF the governor and his
Ilieutenants. Aside from this open
affront TO upward OF seven hundred OF
Michigan's leading Republicans, let ms
consider Inconsistency OF the "machine"
charge. John T. Rich was elected gov
ernor in 1892, largely on the strength OF
the Republican state ticket That it was
an "oii year" for Republicans, the Demo-
cratic president and congress OF today
are first in evidence. That Mr.. Rich.was
elected solely on his own personality has
never been claimed by his friends TWAS
the strength Of the ticket as a unit and
the desire OF the people for n redemption
OF the state from the disgrace OF Demo-
cratic misrule. In view OF the victory OF
the ticket and the auspices under which
the triumph obtained, IL would have been
in the direct order OF the operations oil n
'machine" politician to have cared well
for the men whose popularity indifferent
portions of the state had won n united
victory. Especially is this true OF those
officers whose homes are in the upper
peninsula aud who by ties Of nationality
and residence controlled large and I'M
certain floating vote. When corruption
in the official circle was detected, how
ever, Gov. Rich did not pause Co consider
his political future. lie did not hesitate
10 grapple with corruption because the
large political followings OF Jochim, Of
Hambitzer and of Berry might he ar
rayed against him in the Republican
state convention that would nominate
his successor, but faithful to the trust
the people had rcposed in him, he de-
manded the designations Of the
officials and prosecuted their errors with
equal fidelity 60 his high sense Of duty as
he could have done had those IN error
been OF opposing political utilization.
He proceeded upon the obvious principle
that il was better 20 be governor once
than n mere puppet in the hands OF a
corrupt ring any number OF times. 1t
was largely 10y way Of endorsement OF
the fearless, anti-ring policy OF John T.
Rich that he received the almost unan-
imons endorsement OF the state conven-
ton The turning down Of Gov Rich
would have been the placing OF the seal
OF disapproyal upon his acts Of justice
towards Republicans OF large influence.
Purity is one OF the boosted principles 81
the Republican party and John T. Rich
has borne our banners high on this
standard So long ms Hazon S. Pingrec
attempts to crafty his personal ambi.

ruins OF the spotcss character OF GOV.
