looking on and listening with much In
tcrest to the talk about harmony Ia the
democratic party. and about the Hogs
wing" and tho CLARK wing of the dem
oSrduc party, and what TINS man says
and what that man saya, etc We have
nothing Of that kind among ourselves
our differences having been healed aud
the ranks reunited Immediately after the
election, We have neither "Hogg Wing
nor "Clark wing" "Hog-g democrats" nor
CLARK democrats" but Ne are all dent
ocrlts' aud straight OFT democrats, and
nothing else In Buruet county, save ana
except what is known as the third
party" And the man or politician who
comes among us and undertakes to talk
about the H0gg democracy or Clark
democracy gets gcaut courtesy paid him
AT the present day. We had enough OF
that sort OF talk during the campaign.
and of course ench man did his hest TO
have his own side win But when the cleo
ton was over the defeated side gracefully
Yielded The yictors had no disposition to
crow over the defeat OF ther late oppo
nents and ench Side dropped politics and
went back to business; mud each ono folt
that he had enough to do to attend strictly
to business and let politics alone.
The silver question did for a while at
tract some attention. but az congress has
seen III to repeal the sherman act We. as
democrats, have accepted the action o;
congress in the premisas MS we did the
results Of the election aud propose 10
abide by said action save and except one
or two among u-, who claim 10 be demo-
Gratis. And we fully believe that " poll
ticians were 80 treated in other parts of
the State, We would have less OF this
hue" and "cry" about harmony" The
people are all right aud win attend 20
matters in their own way at the proper
time,
Another thing that we think IS wrong
radically wronE--and that Is this habit OF
the press calling ON eNpectant candida Is
to announce for office 30 carly In tho yeari
so far IN advance Of the proper time, There
IL no necessity for It, prior 10 the LIST ct
July. Parties who expect to be cnndidatcs
can canvass the matter among their
friends carrier " they wish but l, for one.
insist shat July Is carly enough to annoy
the public with thiir particular views OF
politics, and az 10 who is the best man
Tor the office, etc.
Times arc hard nnd money scarce in
Burnet. hut we are WaltInR-wuiung on
congress go pass tho tariff hin, our think.
ing men have contcnded an along that We
would have no RELIEF from tho present
strlngoncy until after congress had dis
POSED Of the tariff question. We therefore
hope TINT the sonate VIII now get move
on itself and put the Wilson bill through
in q decent space Of time,
Tho favorable condition Of the carly part

pleased with Governor Hosg's speech md
commend his action IN the promises, and
also seom to see but slight necessity for
the action OF the Ma,lock committee, And
We further contend and believe that when
the time comes for action the people will
act TO suit themselves. They viii ect aside
the would-be leaders and politicians call
their own primaries, elect their own dol
egates, meet IN convention mud DECLARING
their own belief and PRINCIPLES win adopt
such platform as suits them best ana
nominate such men MS suits them best,
and throw off the yoke OF the politician.

Independence Of the people.
