A Congressional Campaign Mapped
Out by Republicans.

There was q meeting ofrepublican
leaders in Galveston last night that
will interest at least three dem
ocratic candidates for congress in
this state. Among those who par
ticipnted 10 the meeting were ext
Congressman R. B. Hawley, whose
presence in the city was known to
but few, and United States Dis
trict Attorney Mark McLemore,
both of Galveston; United States
Marshal Harson of Houston, Col
onel George Burkitt of Palestine,
Carl Dilworth, II banker of Gonzales,
and several lesser lights. The meet
ing was held in secrecy at the
Grand hotel and its object was to
decide on a plan of campaign in at
least three congressional districts.
viz, the Seventh, or Galveston
district; the Ninth, or Gonzales
district, and the Fifteenth, or
Brownsville district. 1t was set
tied that fight would be made in
each OF these districts, orders hav-
ing gone out from the National
headquarters at Washington that
the republicans stood in great fear
of losing the lower house ofcongress
next fall. and that an effort should
be made in every district in the
South where the least chance of
electing a republican congressman
existed. MIR. Hawley- himselfwill
more than likely be the candidate
in the Galveston district; Mr.. Bur-
row, wealthy German citizen of
Dewitt county, was selected to
make the fight in the Ninth and
John G. Scott, Nueces county
attorney, will be the candidate in
the Fifteenth. The plan of cam
paign was thoroughly discussed and
assurances were given that each
candidate would be supplied with a
liberal campaign fund. In addi-
ton to the contributions by the
Federal office holders in the State,
the National campaign committee
| will send to each district liberal
sum. Speakers from all parts Of
the Union will be sent whenever it
is thought they can make vote,
and the campaigns in the three
districts promise to be exceedingly
lively.-Houston Post.

LOVE.

Amid the broad expanse of human
woe,
Where heartaches come, and bitter
pain
And tears, and disappointment flow
As freely as the Autumn rain,
There lives a flame, that fiercly glows
With ardor; like the shining drops
vi dew upon the rose,
That glistens in the sunlights' fire,
And throws among the weeds, light,
Like that. that glow5 upon
The holy crOss-crowned altar, bright.
It's name is Love. All else it bridges
DER.
The veal and woe, and struggling
strife,
Are cut like grain before loves mowr,
And Love is--Life.
MAE MOONEY.
