AT ITS OLD TRICKS.


Since the days of Il. j Davis, who had it's support
in endeayor to continue the administrative abomna
tions for which he was responsible the Galveston
News in the assumed role of independent" has made
it point to advertise Texas to the world as victim of
democratic mismanagement and as poor field for the
cultivation OF industry and enterprise.
It's activity in that line Increased with each succeed
ing democratic administration until in 1896 the super
latiye reached. During that year the News openly
supported an unhoy combination OF republican hood
lers and third party nondesorpts that was making
desperate effort to capture the State Offices at the
same time making war upon the prevailing sentiment
of the State in National matters.
Day after day filled it's columns with preposterous
accusations leyeed at the best administration Texas
ever had and reproduced pictorial ibels of Eastern
origin designed to create the impression that this State
was hopelessIy possessed of the spirit OF anarchy
After the defeat of the Kearby.H Huston Bradley,
Green fusonists the News changed its tactics It os
tensiby went politics. after tho manner OF most
unsuccessful aspirants for office began preaching
that politics is bad business which the people should
keep ont Of Yet for the past five years the News
had more to say about politics than anybody. with
thny yelled malignity 1t has continued to attack
democratic State administration, inuendo and second
handed MISREPRESENTATION being its fayorite weapons
Bcenting an opportunity for one Of its character
