fortunate for Mr.. Sayers that he Is put TO
the extremity OF securing certificate OF
his record on the silver question from
Father Bland. And II is peculiarly weak
i In that tho people have not questioned
his votes on this issue, but rahter his lack
OF public utterances in It's favor: SEN
ator Mills has also voted Tor the Tree
coinage Of silver whenever he question
i has been brought to vote, but no one
for a moment holds that those votes make
| him silver man SO with Mr.. Saycra'
HIS votes arc all right. but has he ever
contended In his campaigns for the free
I and unlimited coinage of silver at the
| ratio OF 16 to /? Unless We mistake the
| temper OF the democracy they are going
| to demand for governor a man whose rec
| ord on the silver question needs no certii-
| cato Of authenticity from any one.

| III Sayors was as favorable to the white
metal as he pretends to be. 1t would re-
qure no afiidavits to convince the voters
OF the fact. His strenuous efforts TO prove
his love and devotion to free silver go a
| long way toward convincing tho people
| that he has been deceiving them

| Sherman Register: Tho fight Attorney
General Crane made for democracy during

| Karnos County News: The strength OF

becoming daily more apparent, and though
he has not yet got the nomination grabbed,
as some of his enthusiastic admirers claim,
he unquestionably has a good lead ever
any of his opponents. And he Will make
a governor all Texas can be proud Of
