 In the closing days of the thirttes and the opening years of the forties' Texas wrote her history in blood. i9e nioneers who sought to redeem this vast. bowling wilderness were closed in on every side. Tn all, that mighty territory south of san Antonio, and on into the land of the Mexicans, the treacherous soIdiery of Santa Ana bore down upon them. From the estacad0es and all the regions of the north, the Connanches and their allied sayages built highways out of human bones and smoldering ruins.
 It was the spring of 1s36. The Tex as colonists--heroic, dauntless spirits that they were--had beaten their re- treat froh Santa Ana's advancing spaniards. From them, until 1889, the wild tribes of the north stole their horses, burned their homes, killed their people and carried captive their Wo- men and children into the far-aWay Conanche land. Many council hres ware kindled-nnany peace-pipes were smoked. But. gifts having been maoe to them by their white foes. the chiet. tains invariably turned their ponies heads toward their wigwams only 70 blot a more dastardly raid when the moon shone again

There are those who think that the re- suit in September might have been diff ferent in the Second District of Maine the Government ownership of railroads. How true this may be. 1t Is certain that subsequent events had a disas- trous effect on Democratic prospects. In New York the Independence League loomed up, and It's candidate was ac- cepted by the Democratic State Con- vention by deal which drove away large numbers of the most influential Democrats. That the Independence League. on whose platform and no| that of the Democrats the fight was made and lost. attracted some Repub- licans Is true. but 1t repelled so many Democrats that it failed 10 win.
