The stocks of unsold lnmbor in

tho folly of following after blatant
demagogues.
Tho Gazotto styles all thoso who
defend Milhjagainst its assaults as
members of tho "tin pun brigado''
but nobody pays any attention to tho
Gazette.
Tho ordinance requiring tire esoapes
will be found olsowhore in Tub News.
It will require very little troublo and
expense to conform to the law and it
should bo strictly enforced.
The Deinoorats of Toxas will avail
themselves of tho opportunity now
offered them of putting a brainy man
in tho gubornational ohair by nomi-
nating George Clark for govornor.
HILL'S HISTORY.
As proof of the truth of tho charges
made againBt Hill by The News from
time to time and discredited by somo
of our exchanges refcronco is ruado to
tho Now York rivoning Post of Feb-
ruary fith lSoi. That issue of tho
Post gives an oxtonded history of
Hill's political exploits charging him
with muoh groatcr crimes than Tim
News ever did and proffers undoubted
toEtimony in support of the same.
The News has said Hill
never had an offioo ho
didn't buy o'ther with monoy or prom
ises of patronage. The Post starts
out by charging that Hill openly
bought votes in the city of Elmira
every time ho ran for offioo ami offers
to prove it. As a member of tho firm
of Smith and Hill of Elmira in
1880-7 or 1808. ho pcrsaud-
cd the farmers along tho
Chemung oanal to claim damage to
thu amount of $0000000 on aooonot
of an overflow June 17 1S5G. Smith
and Hill waro engaged on a large
contingent fee and'JHill was a
motubor of tho Now York Assomblv
when the last batch of bills was pass
ed. Hill was near enough to Wil
Ham' M. Twcod to bo a partner with
him in the publication of tho Elmira
Uuzetto though Tweed's stock in tho
paper was in tho natno of "Some Per-
son" A prominent business man of El-
mira said "Hill was for Hill first and
aftorward tho Damooratio party and
rathor than yield to othor leaders ho
will disrupt the party." He persua
ded the Aqueduct commissioners to
award a oontraot to O'Brien
and Clark though their bid
was $51000 higher than the lowest
bid This was in 18S6 just after he
hud boon oleoted govornor for tho
second time. It was proven after-
ward that Hill drew on O'Brien and
Clark for campaign expeusos. The
charges that Hill sold Olovoland in
188S and that the governorship was
the consideration is substantiated by
the Post and thore is not tho shadow".
of doubt in tho minds of thousands
of New York Detnoorats about its
truth. Will the Damocratio party
honor such a traitor by giving him tho
nomination for president? Toxas will
protest against it aud Texas will havo
plenty of company.
OGAIIOTTS.
Tho Glon Roue Hearld prints this
announcement : "For representative
in congress from tho Waco district
G. B. Gerald; platform no bluffs tak
on here. For particulars apply to
Hon. J. II. Reagan."
Kobert T. Bush speaker of tho
New York assembly is an enthusias-
tic Hill man and actually proposes
that Hill bo allowed to select the
delegates from his state to tho na-
tional oonvention. Speaker Bush is
eorious too. Aftor giving his reasons
for favoring suoh a sohemo ho says :
"I supposo if a resolution wcro in-
troduced at tho state convention to
allow tho senator to choose his own
delegates to Ohioago there would bo
great groaning and gnashing of teeth
but I don't see why wo shouldn't let
him choose them if ho wished to. Wo
all want him to win and if ho should
think such a proocoding would help
him to win I'd voto for it with all my
heart." When tho Democratic party
or any other party in Now York or
any othor state becomes so subservient
toono inanitjsadaogorous party Tho
national organization perhaps oannot
bo controlled so absolutely but a man
who will by machiuo mothods bond
tho will of tho party of his stato to his
every purpose will try tho aamo moth-
ods on tho national organization and
who knows to what extent ho will
succeed? When Hill is made presi-
dent if suoh should ever bo it would
bo tho doath knell of Demooracy in
this country.
Tho McGregor observer asks: "Can
anybody toll whioh sido of tho fence
the Waco News is on?" The News
would refer Brother O'Brien to Gov.
Hogg or Chairmau Reagan but they
might deny ever having read The
News so we will justjsay that be-
tween The News and Observer thero
is a staked and ridered fence judg
ing from recent utterances of that
paper. Wo arc for Clark tho
statesman against Hogg the
demagogue1 Wo are for a commis-
sion law that will give tho railroads a
chance to livo and extend their lines
and against the present Hogg law
that gives the commission the power
to confiscato overy mile of railroad in
tho stato. Tho Observer is on the
other side of tho fence and it will
got lonesome before the oampaign
closes.
People have ooased to complain
about the horses occupying the side-
walks. They only ask now that tho
horses won't bite thom.
