SELECTING WAXAHACHIE.

Senator Bailey, in coming from
Washington to Waxahachie to begin
the task of undertaking to deliver
Texas over to the Harmon for presi-
dent idea, has again used that pecu-
liar Judgment which nearly always
characterizes his actions. Ellis coun-
ty, because of the preachmcnts of
the Light Enterprise, is evidently
accepted by him as being the pivot
al county in the state. The junior
senator doubtless reckons that if,
while he is fresh and fit, he can
meet and overcome the Wilson here
sy as these papers have fed it to the
Ellis county people, the vanquish-
ment of progressive democracy
democracy that seeks to progress
back to the fundamental principles
of party faith-in the other counties
of Texas will be an easy matter.
Light-Enterprise feels honored to
know that it was deemed advisable
to send the strongest and most cap
able exponent of standpatism and
to attempt the reclamation of Old
Ellis. but we are afraid that even
this giant will fail in the purpose of
his visit. Senator Bailey will be
greeted in Waxahaehie by a large,
representative and attentive audi /
ence, but even the power and mag |
netism of his oratory can not now /
change the political situation here. !
But not withstanding the hopeless |
less of his mission Waxahachie anu
