WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

present campaign IN IeNdS pre-
sents one feature that to say the
least of it is remarkable. The
Democratic party has platform
and only one man on the state tick
ct stands on that platform, and the
office he is running for is non-po'
litical."
"Texas stands today head and
| shoulders above any state In the
union in point Of progress and de-
velopment for a period Of three
years; and still the good work goes
bravely on. Our soil, our climate,
our crops, and our vast dominion
| of fertile lands, that can be bought
cheap, are pushing Texas ahead.
Good work now will in few years
make Texas the garden spot of
America"
Georgia, once the banner Demo-
cratic state of the union, comes up
this year with majority that from
present appearances will be less
| 10000, and may be as little as TO-
600. Keep up the war against the
Democratic administration, and
against the Democratic platform
in our own ranks, and what has &C.
Cured in Georgia may be repeated
in Texas"
Forth Worth Gazette: "tFree
silver lunatics' and political jack
ais are terms which Judge George
Clark applies to certain Democrats
on the stump in Texas, including
J the nominees of the party on the
state ticket. The judge doesn't
seem to be in a humor or as ami
cable as that in which, from the
stairway of the Windsor hotel at
Dallas, he eulogized that glorious
Democrat, Jim Hogg.'"
| Galveston Tribune: "There
must be no straddling by legisla-
tive candidates or proposed char
ter anne ndments. The people have
a right to know just how they
stand and to infer that those not
for us are against u.s."
"The free silver Democrats are
forcing that defunct issue in such
way as to make the next ma
tional convention spank them in
to submission or rebellion with a
| plank that has no soft SIDE"
Luling Signal: "Luling fruit
vendors carry larger variety and
fuller stock than any town between
Houston and San Antonio. Peaches,
apples, pears, figs, apricots, cher
ries and grapes, besides watermel-
ons, muskmelons and every varie-
ty of vegetables can be had. Great
is West Texas as fruit producer"
Fort Worth Gazette: "'The po-
sition was clearly stated for a sim
gle standard and Colonel Mills
burned his ships behind him. is
the way one report of the junior
senator's speech at Austin puts it.
Somebody should assist the sena-
tor to get back on the platform.
1t says nothing about a single
standard, but it does say some
thing about an equality of the two
metals at the minis"
Houston Post: SIN the cam
paign for State officers would it
not be more to the purpose if the
candidates would drop National
issues and confine themselves to
matters with which they will have
some official connections"
zone word brought on another,
| n ri i'm inc nri, i,,o
recrimination and finally they
came to blows. The quarrel started
about nothing, but finally grew in
to very serious manner. That is
the way it usually occurs. The
best way to do is to stop the quar-
rel at the interception before many
words have been uttered"
Houston Herald: "Thos. l.. NJ
gent may be good judge of law,
but he is evidently poor Judge Of
politics, otherwise he would not be
reckless enough to assert that the
Populists would poll 100000 votes
next month. If his party polled
only lOS,O0O in 1892 with a divided
party, how, in the name of holy
| Noses, does he expect it to poll
I 100000 in 1894, with a united
Democratic party? A figure is a
figure and the Democrats get the
| votes"
"If Cyclone Davis gets beat for
Congress in the Fourth district
next month, as he will be, what
party will he belong to at the next
election ?"
