BIRDS OF A FEATHER SHOULD
FLOCK TOGETHER.

Under the head, Colonel Nose
Totes Fair" the Bryan Eagle says:
Sol Nose Harris, editor of the
Texas Republic of San Antonio, while
a Bull Moose, an opponent of Senator
Bailey and antagonistic to the policies
and views of the Houston Post, is
nevertheless possessed of a spirit OF
fairness. In commenting on Senator
Bailey's farewell speech, his resigna.
ton and Colonel Johnston's appoint
ment, said:
1t was a masterful effort, and en-
listed closest attention from an audi
ence that, crowded the galleries of the
Senate chamber. The speech is as
sumed to be the Senator's farewell ad-
dress, as it is understood that he will
within a few days tender his resigna-
ton to Governor Colquitt The latter
has announced his intention to APP
point Hon. R. NJ. Johnston, editor of
Inc llOuoCOH IO5l, W III IHe NdCduCy-
and he could make many that would
be far worse, and few that would be
BETTER"
The editor of the Register has been
close reader of Maj. Nose Harris
excellent paper since it was founded
and if he has ever opposed Senator
Bailey or antagonized the policies of
the Houston Post, re hasn't said so.
On the contrary, he has neglected no
opportunity to commend Bailey and
the Post, often saying (Which is true)
that their proper place is in the Re-
publican party. Sometimes Major Har-
ris comments on clippings from the
Register, but, thank God and his own
candor, he never accuses us of agree
ing with him in politics. In some
things our opinions coincide precisely
with those of Major Hairs; for in
stance, we both believe that birds of
a feather should flock together
Texas Register.
The Eagle does not know, nor care,
how closely the Register editor has
read the Republic, but it does know
that the Republic took part in the
fight against Senator Bailey, so far
as casting reflections upon his good
name and clouding his title to con-
fidence and responsibility were con-
cerned, through the charges brought
against him. We also know that the
Republic opposed the Houston Post
and bitterly opposed the denomination
of Governor Colquitt in the last cam
paign These are facts that can be
proven, the East Texas Register to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
So far as birds of feather flock
ing together" are concerned, The
Eagle editor would not mind a bit to
be flocked with its ilk and we would
not be Ashamed of our company either.
Under this plan, however, we fear the
East Texas Register editor would have
to pursue the Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" There is not another OF the
same feather under the shining sun.
