Prohibition Party of Texas Will Not
Put Out State Ticket.

Dallas, Texas, May 22.-"The prohi
bition party of Texas will not put ou
a ticket this year; at least it seems
unlikely that this will be done at the

man, organizer for the prohibition par
ty in Dallas county, who states that in
view of the submission work which
the democratic prohibitionists have
undertaken the prohibition party peo
pie have resolved to assist their dem
ocratic allies by refraining from put
ting prohibition party ticket in the
field.
"Of course" continued Mr. Hick
man, I'VE will elect delegates to ou
national convention and we will work
for our national ticket as hard as
ever"

COLONEL MOsBY IS |
Ex-Confederate Scout and Colonel
Cavalry, Has Been Ill For Some
Time-His Record Given.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., May 23.-Co
onel John S. Mosby, the ex-Confe

been ill for some time and is now d
inmate of the Garfield Hospital
this city. He is in his seventy-fift2
year, but he is possessed of rugged
constitution and his physicians expe9
him to pull through his present illne
unless complications set in.
Colonel Mosby is one of the mos
prominent of the surviving leaders &.
the Confederate army, whose ranks
are being rapidly thinned by death.
He gained fame as the commander
and leader of force of partisan cav
airy known as "Mosby's Ranger"
who we're as picturesque and brave
and cavalier a lot of fighters as ever
went to war. No body of Confederate
soldiers were feared as were Mosbys
men, and the colonel was their genius
A native of Virginia, Colonel Mosby
was one of the first to enlist in the
cause of the Confederacy, and the
part he played in the big struggle
made the Union commanders wish
that he had never turned his attention
to the art of war. His raid on the
rear of McClellan's army on the
Chickahominy was as bold bit of en-
terprise as may be read in the history
of warfare His most brilliant feat
was the capture of General Stoughton
at that Union officers headquarters.
Scarcely less daring was his capture
of General Sherman's entire supply
train, which he accomplished by a

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.
Chanler Nominated for Governor b,

Rochester. n. Y, Sept. 16.-Nomi-
mating all but one Of it's candidates
by acclamation and adopting a plat
form which arraigns the administra-
ton Of Gov. Hughes and pledges earn
est support to the Denver platform
and candidates, the Democratic State
convention today nominated as the
head Of it's ticket for governor the
present lieutenant governor of the
State, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler of
Duchess county. John A. Dix Of
Washington county was nominated
lieutenant governor. All opposition TO
Mr.. Chanler disappeared after a con-
ference of the State leaders which oc-
cupied a greater part Of last night.
The ticket decided upon by the lead
ers, with one exception, seemed to
meet the approval Of all the dele
gates, and the nominations were
made with great enthusiasm until the
office Of State engineer and surveyor
was reached. The conference candi-
date for this office was Philip P.
Farley of Brooklyn, All anti i-McCarren
man. Senator McCarren amid the
cheers Of his supporters, took the
platform ito resent an insult"
He declared the nomination Of Far
ley was agreed to without any re-
gard to the Kings county delegation
and was intended to embarrass them.
He declared he would always support
Democratic nominees but would not
hold himself responsible for the ac-
ton Of the people who felt themselves
insulted.
Farley won on roll call, but a
motion to make the nomination unan-
imous was lost by two or three scat
tering negatives.
Judge Alton B. Parker. who was
permanent chairman Of the convsn.
ton. addressed the gathering.
The convention adjourned without
day after United States Senator Gore
Of Oklahoma had made a brief ad-
dress.
1.-THE promises Of reform upon
which the present governor was elect
ed" the platform alleges. "have not
been kept. We point as proof Of this
fact to the expeditures Of 1907, which
are larger than the extravagant sums
expended under the predecessors Of
Gov. Hughes. We charge him with
the responsibility for this waste and
with giving his time and attention to
the pursuit Of spectacular methods
and self-advertising issues rather
than to the work Of reform and re-
trenchment upon the promise Of
which he was elected governor two
years ago. We insist that in this most
important feature Of his administra-
ton he has been derelict and remiss.
Instead Of cutting off the tax eaters
from the list Of officeholders he has
caused new ones to be added to 1t and
in the two public service commits
sions which have been brought
into existence at his suggestion and
lictation, he has created officeholders
who have woefully failed to better the
condition Of affairs confided to their
charge"
