Here is the Hillsboro Reflector's
ticket: “Culberson lor governor—

A dispatch from Ixmgview says

A tidal wave is coming in for
Charlie Culberson. Let it roll
mountain high.—Hillsboro Reflect
or.
Heber Stone, Democratic can
didate for governor, saw that hr
wasn’t “in it” and withdrew from
the race. Wise fellow!
The decision of the U. S. -su-
preme court in the Texas railroad
commissicn rase is another feather
in Charlie Culberson’s cap.
Since he was elected attorney
general, Chas. Culberson has recov
ered nearly two million acres of our
public domain, which was unlaw
fully held by railroads/

Says the Greenville Banner:
‘Judge Reagan has been absolved
by Culberson, and invited to enter
the race for gubernatorial honors if
ie so desires. Judge Reagan is an
old man with years of public and
rolitical honors on his white hairs,
hut he is not the man for governor
nt this time. The times demand a
young man, versatile in statesman-
ship, with the iron nerve and
rrawn to take the helm of state-
craft and hold it against every ad-
verse breeze that threatens to wreck
it on the breakers of financial and
political disaster. The times de-
mand a man full of vigor, backed
up by a physical stamina that
would conquer all opposition and
who would stahd at the rudder of
the ship of state till the top of her
tallest masts is below the water—
if the necessity arose. Judge Rea-
gan is a man whom Texas has hon-
ored in the pust and in whom the
people have confidence now, but he
is physically incapable of taking
hold of the ship of state during the
present storm.”
The railroad commission law of
Texas has been declared constitu-
(16) in June, 1894, for the purpose
sion of the beat interest of the Dem-I^'^ St&C** t,Vv «
‘ ocratic party, on whose untiring
organised efforts depends all prac-
• ' tical political reformation, the cor-
rection of legislative wrongs and
the restitution to the people of
their -political and inalienable
rights.

By virtue of the authority vested
in Mfo, I hereby call a meeting of
tha Democrats of Edom pegeibet to
■MSI at Edom June 28, at 2:30 p.
1*94, for the purpose of select-
ing delegates te the County Con
ventkm, which convenes July 7,
and to transact such other hosinens
AS may properly come before the
py. John H. Reagan is happy.
Charlie Culberson is happy. The
members of thedegislature that en-
acted that law are happy. The
people of Texas are happy. Judge
McCormick knows more constitu-
tional law now than before
George Clark has not been heard
from yet.—Gilmer Mirror.
The primary election held at
Kilgore, Gregg county, last Satur-
day resulted in a good majority for
Culberson for governor, Kearby for
lieutenant governor. Cr^ne for at-
torney general, Henderson for
comptroller, Dodd for land com-
missioner, Thweat for superintend-
ent of public instruction, C. B.
Kilgore for oongreM.
Charlie Culberson carries La-
B. B. Youngblood, Ch’rm. mar county for governor.
Congressman C. B. Kilgore will
address the citizens of Van Zandt
county in the interest-of his candi-
dacy for congress at the court
house in CaWton-next Monday at
11 o’clock a. m.
Charley Culberion is the choice
of more than half the newspapers
of Texas. And he is the choice of
two-thirds of the Democrats who
want a governor of sound ideas and
stiff backbone.—Greenville Banner.
Heber Stone has withdrawn
from the race for governor, his rea-
son being that business matters
are such as to prevent his making
a thorough personal canvass of the
state. We see where he’s right.
The Reagan cyclone will not
sweep the country as was once pre
dieted. Charley Culberson will be
the next governor of Texas. He is
able, honest, sound in principle and
ideas and ia eminently* (It to be
chief executive of Texas.—Green-
ville Banner.
Duval county held her county
Democratic convention last Satur-
day. The following instructions
Call, Culberson second (jhoice;
lieutenant governor, Fulton, Kear-
by second choice; U. S. senator,
Walls, Chilton second choice. -
The Fort Worth Mail saya: “AH
Texas ia under obligations to.At-
torney General Culberson for the
able manner in which he conduct-
ed the commission case in the su-
preme court of the United States
and hia reward should be the gov-
ernorship; be deserves it.”
fUpsupnMaa**aas*anaaaa
In the event that Judge Reagan
is nominated for governor can he
unite both wings of the Democrat-
ic party?—Bruoeville Herald.
We think it rather doubtful, as
some of the Clark people declare
they will not support him if nomi-
nated. Culberson or Ittnham can
unite both winga.
units the party. Let all the fight-
ing for different candidates ba done
before the convention, and after-
wards let os *11 unite in support of
our candidate and only fight the
common enemy. The Tel*phone
is doing some good Democratic
work, and will no doubt be with
the party after the convention.—
Greenville Headlight.
In view of the fart that Reagan
ia obnoxious to the Clark faction of
the party, is it expedient to nomi-
nate him? Would it not give bet-
ter general satisfaction to all par-
ties to select a conservative man,
one that is obnoxious to neither
faction? The Telephone doesn’t
:ntend to throw any mud ou the
nominee of the cpiiiention. But in
event Reagan ia nominated will
not the Clark men do some fight-
ing ln that direction? Do we want
harmony after the convention and
at the ballot box? If (»o, we must
select a standard-bearer upon whom
the whole party can unite and sup
port enthusiastically. It was
hoped that all Democrats would
support the regular nominee in the
last election, but about 65,000
failed to do it. Why? Because
the nominee was obnoxious to them.
Do we want to encourage another
bolt, and that, too, after the princi-
ples which divided us before have
been put upon the state books, and
the one that was the greatest bone
of contention—the commission law
—has been decided constitutional
by the highest court? If harmony
means harmony, why not endeavor
to work (o that end? Why say we
favor harmony, and advocate a man
(or governor, who, it is believed,
can not harmonize the two factions,
but will bring about a split?
Then again, Reagan has been hon-
ored for half a century with office.
He is old, and should, like Dick
Coke, with a grateful heart to his
oustitueucy for the repeated hon-
ors conferred upon him, retire to
private life. We have nothing to
say against Reagan. His nomina-
tion, under existing circumstances,
would be inexpedient and unwise,
in that it would have a tendency
to augment the strife and division
in the party. He has been hon-
ored enough. I*t’s encourage the'
brainy sons of Texas in their laud-
able ambition for positions of hon-
or and trust. Culberson qj Lanhum
can cement the party. 'Gur per^
sonal preference is Culberson, and
lope to see him nominated.
Goxey ; started out with the idea
that the government owed his |»eo-
ple a support. Coxey appears to
lave got there, as the government
is now supporting him in jail, says
the Hillsboro Reflector.
