stronger man. On account OF his lib
eral views on silver Allison would carry
a larger Western vote than either OF
the others. but II doesn't matter who Is
selected to lead the hosts, Republican
success Is sure. Texas IL divided some
what In her choice, but the fight so
far as this state is concerned lies be-
tween Harrison and Mckinley"
In regard TO the presidential candi-
dates Mr.. A. Hobart OF sulphur Springs
remarked;
81 don't think either Reed or McKln-
ley Will have much chance TO win.
Harrison may come in, but in my opin-
ion the nomination will go to dark
horse. Lincoln has a very strong
backing.
80 far as I am concerned any OF
them will suit me-"
In regard to the state campaign he
concluded: II think the Popullsts viii
undoubtedly carry. the day, and in
case OF split In the Democratic
party, the Republicans will get second
place"
Judge N. D. Moore. OF this city. a
straight Republican of the black-an-
tan variety said yesterday to Ga
zette man:
"The proposed scheme to start a
Republican weekly in Dallas will,
think. hardly succeed for want of
capital. 1t may be started but it VIII
not last. This call for meeting to get
the proposed publication on its feet Is
not recognized by the regular Re
publicons.
I'VE Will. in the course cs time, have
an organ in either Fort Worth or Dali
las, but 1t will be a daily and will have
plenty OF capital behind II.
ut is intended to found this DALLAS
weekly on patriotism to educate the
people and Increase interest in the Re-
l...e . b
cash to back II and disinterested be-
nevolence is u very scarce article in
this little round world of ours.
80 far as the Pantheon boys are
concerned, their movement promises to
result in some good work and we will
turn out tq give them a hearty welcome
tonight"
What do you think OF the presi-
dental possibilities" ventured the
Faber pusher.
That fight is pretty badly mixed
up he replied. land Mckinley, Reed,
Allison and Lincoln all nearly equal
with chance for Harrison. There Is
no doubt of election, however. no mat
ter who Is chosen.
so far as Texas sentiment goes Nc
Klnley has the strongest following
but Harrison has the best organization:
his friends are organized in every
county OF Importance IN the state.
Lincoln is a good strong man, much
stronger than is generally supposed
He Ii Il man OF some natural and q
great deal OF acquired ability and
would pile up a mountain OF votes.
Il think. however. that the Texas
delegation viii go to the convention
entirely uninstructed. We recognize
the fact that We can cast no electoral
votes and whatever the members of the
party in the North and West decide on
viii suit us.
The day is fast coming when the
Republican party will be the party in
the South.
The colored question is sne which
will be forced on the Democrats and in
n little while you will hear the negro
rising and calling Mr.. Speaker in
Democratic conventions, Negro domi-
nation in the Republican party In the
South Is doomed and the party is re-
ceivlng recruits from the best class
OF citizens in the land. The Demo-
cratic party viii soon be known as the
negro party. 1t is getting that way
now In some states. In Tennessee at
the last. election, every white county
went Republican and all The black
counties went Democratic. That will
be repeated and the same thing will
happen in Kentucky at the next cleo
ton.
81 am not Lily White, / Am II, favor
OF the negro having his rights In the
party but he Is gradually drifting out
of II. He Will 80 into the Populist
party first perhaps but that will be
entirely dead In two or three. years
and he Will step into the Democratic
ranks, then you viii see rush of
white men to our standard"
What figure viii the Populists cut
In the next state election" asked the
reporter
"Oh they Will elect Nugent governor
without the least doubt in the world"
said the Judge. THE only salvation
for you Democrats is to get Nugent
nominated for president, that Will leave
the Pops without II leader"
The executive committee of the PAN
theon club held meeting behind closed
doors yesterday afternoon but
most OF the members We're absent and
no business OF any Importance was
transacted.
