Corpus Christi, Texas, August IA
short time ago the Daily Caller published
an editorial of which the following is an
excerpt.
we have It on good authority that Mr..
Terrell, the popullst candidate. for con-
sress, stated while here that he would
Withdraw from the race II the republican
party would unite with the populists
on some Independent democrat. and
suggested the Hon. " Weldon of Cueno
as the man. We do not know that Mr..
rerrel can deliver the goods, still we
presume that he does not speak without
authority, and It ia possible that he has
district; that Mr.. Terrell knows this as
the power to carry out any proposition
he may make to the republicans. We
have commended all along that the popu-
lists can not elect congressman in this

mated simply as blind" and In order
that he might be better able 10 turn
