The following article is taken
from the Tyler County Journal:
The editor Of the Star bubbled
over with JOY last week because
the grand jury did not find an in
dictment against the Red Ticket
gang, and imagines that the mat
ter is settled to the entire salts
faction Of all Republicans who
believe in purity Of politics, and
intimates that these charges were
false. The grand jury did not
find true bill against these viO-
latOrS Of the law-not for lack Of
information. but because the court
instructed them before looking
into the matter that it would be
impossible to convict those who
were engaged in working the Red
Ticket system of voting, as the
committee failed to state under
what chapter Of the Code the pri-
mary election was to be held, and
according to these instructions,
the poll clerks could have con-
Quoted the primary in any manner
that they desired, as they were
not in any way responsible for
their acts, and especially as to
their oaths as officers. Figura-
lively speaking, the court tied the

jury's legs and then told them
to run and he would Overtake
them. and he slid around the OBJ
staclcs as smoothly as a creased
pig. and the jury and those who
want to see these cOnspirators
brought to justice, have to bear
the blame for nothing being doEe
at this term Of the court. The
grand jury, as well as the people
of Tyler county. fully understand
that it is the faint cry Of weak
ling. who is willing to compromise
with corruptionists. and stife JUS
tice, in order that the party shall
win.
The members Of the grand jury
say that there was nothing done
wards investigating these
charges for the reason above
mentioned, and not because there
was no evidence to substantiate
them. The Star man can chuckle
day and night, yet he can not
erase the fact that the Red Ticket
methods practised at the late pri-
mary is a stain on the grand old
party which can not be eradicated
except by removal from political
power of those who would wallOw
in the ditch Of crime in order that
they obtain their political ends.

PARTY IN MAGAZINE ARTICLE.

Committee-separats Notifications
Agreed Upon.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
STEADY, Democrats, Steady" is the title
of an article by Grover Cleveland which
will be printed in Golfers for July %. In
It Mr. Cleveland lauds the action of Judge
Parker in sending his gold telegram to
the ST. Louis convention, and expresses his
satisfaction with the platform and the
! outlook, as follows:
IF sometimes, during the last week,
| those most earnestly and prayerfully So
licitous for the complete restorat ton of the
democratic party to health and sanity have
felt depressed by certain convention Incl
dents relating to the money question: 1t is
certainly now time for them and for all
who love democracy to calmly survey the
situation as It appears since the dust and
swelter of convention controversy have
passed away.
Subject Of Congratulation.
Such a survey is full of congratulation
and hope In the first place, 1t creates
the assurance that the national democracy
as an organization has been freed from the
financial decisions that have made it weak,
and has entered upon period of old time
vigor and strength. This is too apparent
for denial.
mo actlOn OF ueInocTacy'S representa-
tives assembled in the late convention can
be construed in any other way than as an
acknowledgment of the establishment of
the gold standard and willing pledge to
it's maintenance. This condition should of
itself be sufficient to so fill our measure of
satisfaction as to cause us to forget any
fears trepida ton that may have vexed
us during the days just passed.

OLD GOLF PLAYER DEAD.
Robert Lockhart First One to Start
Game at St. Andrews.


The death of Robert Lockhart on Tuesday
in Edinburgh was reported In New York
city yesterday. Mr.. Lockhart was for many
York city, and was a member of the firm
Of Lockhart & Nelson, importers and deal
ers in linens, with factories at Dunfermline,
Scotland. Members of his family. who live
at No. 21S West both street, received news
that his death was due to appendicitis, and
followed a surgical operation.
Mr.. Lockhart was born in Dunfermline
fifty-seven years ago, and came to this
country in 1867. He sailed for Europe about
about a month ago, and was to have left
for New York this week. His body will be
placed in Dunfermline Abbey.
Mr.. LOckhart did much to introduce the
game of golf in this country, and was in
reality the father of the American game.
He was the first to bring set of golf clubs
to this side, and was one of the founders
of the st. Andrews Golf Club. the pioneer
golfing organization of America. 1t was
sixteen years ago that Mr.. Lockhart got a
few friends together under old apple
tree In Yonkers to teach them the charm
of the new pastime, and though the St.
Andrews Golf Club, which grew from those
meetings, is today housed and greened with
all the luxury which modern golf demands,
stories of the "Old Apple Tree Gang" as 1t
was then called, are sthill told about the
club house piazza.
According to these tales, Robert Lock-
hart was the first golfer why systematic
game to American amateurs. In the early
sos he was a member of the Yonkers Ten
mis- Club, but when tennis began to wane
in interest Mr. Lockhart, recalling the ex-
perience of pleasant days abroad, bethought
himself of his boyhood love for golf, and on
his next trip to Scotland in 1887, he saw
old Tom Norris the Grand Old Man. of
Scottish golf, and from him obtained two
sets of golf clubs He packed them in the
peculiar bag then in vogue. and they formed
one of his most precious pieces of baggage
on the homeward trip. Mr. Lockhart was
fond of describing the inordinate curiosity
of his fellow travellers as to the use of the
clubs and of the questions put on the home
ward trip.
Il really believe some people thought me
crazy" he said once in telling his expe-
rience. when got home l invited all the
neighbors to sort of informal reception,
and there described the Clubs and their spe-
cal uses i'm the game. The following morn
ing the clubs were taken to the home of
John, Reid. and, after explaining the points
of the game, l started to drive off balls in
one of the vacant lots in the rear of Mr.
Reds house. One by one the others caught
the fever. and few days later a meeting
was held and the first golf club in the coun-
try was organized. We named the club
after the Mecca Of golf, st. Andrews.
