The most despicable figure in American
public life among the men of note to-day
is William M. Evarts, of New York. He
was one of the political highwaymen who
robbed Mr. Tilden of the presidency in
1876, and now he is trying to steal New
York for Blaine. There is a color of an
excuse for Blaine in his whining for a fair
count, for he has a personal interest at
stake, and he presumably represents some
millions of voters in the country, but
there is no excuse, no apology for the lit-
tleness of Evarts.

A Correspondent's Recommendations
of Ceke and Reagan.
Dallas, Nov. 12.—In casting about for
material to make up his cabinet, Mr.
Cleveland will certainly pay some respect
to the south. Texas is the largest state
in the Union, the most progressive and
the most democratic, and in it may be
found some as good material as the coun-
try affords. If he wants men of his own
stamp—sound, sensible and honest; men
who are superior to all corrupting influ-
ences ; men of the finest ability ; fearless,
true and reliabile ; men entirely above re-
proach, let him try John II. Reagan or
Richard Coke. At a glance, it would look
well to have a man in the cabinet who has
lived as remote from the great sources of
corruption as possible. For the postoffice
or treasury it would be impossible to se-
lect a better man than either of them
would make. Mr. Regan has had some
experience in the postoffice. It is to be
hoped there will be no clamoring for of-
fice and that the number of officers may
be greatly reduced, but with one of those
men in the cabinet, there would be such
great assurance of security—there would
be the most inflexible security. If he
wants an accomplished, brilliant man for
minister to some foreign court, but few
men would be more acceptable or make a
belter impression than our distinguished
orator and statesman, Richard B. Hub-
bard. lie deserves a place for the noble
work he did in the campaign. But his
qualifications are of a high order; alto-| in New York for at least fifty-six years,

Within the next four years four of the
judges now on the federal bench will at-
tain the age of 70 years, when they may
retire with a continuance of salary, but
will not be required to do so. The proba-
bility is that they will prefer lo give up
their arduous judicial duties. It is likely,
therefore, that President Cleveland will
be called upon to appoint at least four su-
preme justices, and he may have the ap-
pointment of still more.
The ranks of the lower federal judges
are also thinned out during every admin-
istration by age, death or resignation. In
the natural course of events, the selection
of a number of these will fall to the next
president. But more than this: It will be
the duty of congress, at its next session,
to relieve the supreme and other United
States courts from the vast amount of bus-
iness that now presses upon and cripples
them. Of the various plans of relief
brought forward the most acceptable is
that embodied in the bill prepared by
Judge Davis when in the senate. This
has received the general approval of law-
yers, judges and the public. It passed
the senate last year, but was not acted on
by the house. It is the measure that con-
gress is most likely to adopt. Should it
become a law in its present form it will
call for the appointment of eighteen new
circuit judges.
The next president will therefore have
the appointment of an unusually large
number of federal judges. The impor-
tance of a capable, incorruptible national
judiciary can not be overestimated in
these days of growing corporation wealth
and power and the frequent looming up
of far reaching financial, political and con-
stitutional questions. It is fortunate for
the welfare of the country that this ap-
pointing power is to be exercised by Mr.
Cleveland instead of James G. Blaine.
This may be a sore disappointment to Jay
Gould and some others who would like to
have a potent voice in the naming of
judges, but to the people it is cause of con-
gratulation.—N. Y. Herald.
The present election is the closest seen

lays down a very sound political proposi-
tion when he says that no man is entitled
to appointment to office, or other emolu-
ment, for doing what his honest convic-
tions approve as right, in political cam-
paigns. We should be glad to see Col.
Bill appointed postmaster at Dallas, yet
we are glad to note that he repudiates the
idea that he has any claims to that or any
other position on account of his earnest
support of the democratic ticket. The
Colonel is a democrat from principle.
The day before the election the Phila-
delphia Times said : “If it shall be shown
that Cleveland is chosen with only a few
electoral votes to spare the democrats will
need to employ their best genius to get
their man inaugurated. There are abund-
ant signs that the republican managers do
not intend to let go of the presidency as
long as anything whatever .will save
them.”
The late candidacy of Ben Butler has
proved to his satisfaction, it is to be hop-
ed, that the working classes are not as ea-
sily hoodwinked as he supposed. They
have sense enough to look at things in a
proper light.
It transpires now that the expenses of
Ben Butler’s campaing for the presiden-
cy were paid out of the republican cam-
paign fund. This will convince voters of
the greenback and working men’s parties
of Butler’s treasoni
Mr. Blaine was serenaded by a party
of admiring friends at Augusta, Maine, on I
the night of the 18th, and the event afford-
ed him an opportunity of opening the1
phials of his wrath, and pouring forth liis
bitter gall upon the South. He says that
forty-two electoral votes were assigned to
the South on account of its colored popu-
lation, and that the colored people of the
South had not elected a single presiden-
tial elector. This, then, is all that is the
matter with Blaine and his party. They
conferred the right of franchise upon the
colored people, for the purpose of sustain-
ing the republican party, and now that
they see their mistake in supposing that
they could hand the Southern states over
to perpetual negro rule, they are the first
to become dissatisfied with the enfran-
chisement of the colored race. It is plain,
now, that if the republican party had the
power, they would disfranchise the blacks
in all the southern states. But, fortunate-
ly for the democratic party, the status of
the southern negro as a voter is fixed be-
yond the power of republican partisan-
ship to undo it, and the colored people of
the South are gradually assimilating with
the southern whites, not through coer-
cion, intimidation and murder, as Air.
Blaine falsely assumes, but of their own
free will and accord, and the South is ir-
retrievably lost to the republicans. Air.
Blaine says the success of the democracy
is the triumph of a minority over the ma-
jority. According to his system of calcu-
lating, the colored people are not to be
taken into account except in so faras their
votes promote the success of the republi-
can party, and according to his political
ethics the negro has no right to vote un-
less his vote can be utilized to elect a re-
publican president. “The Solid South,”
which Blaine hates so vehemently, main-
tains that the negro has the right to vote
as lie pleases, and the democratic party
proposes to guarantee that right to the
colored people as long as it maintains its
power. Air. Blaine's speech stamps him
as a willful falsifier and slanderer, and in-
spires us anew with heartfelt gratitude
over his defeat. A man of such base im-
pulses is utterly unfit to grace the high-
est office in the American Union.

structlon of lines of the Baltimore & Ohio •
telegraph company through Red River I
county, was heard in the United States
circuit court here to day before Judge Sa-
bin. The facts show that on October 15,
the Baltimore & Ohio company instituted
proceedings against the Texas & Pacific
railway company to condemn right-of-way
for its telegraph lines along the railroad
right-of-way; that after a hearing the
commissioners awarded the railroad com-
pany $10 damages, and the construction of
the lines was undertaken and nearly com-
pleted through the county when the Wes-
tern Union company applied to Judge Sa-
bin for an injunction on the ground that
the railroad company had conveyed to
them the exclusive use of the railroad
right-of-way on both sides of the track,
overhead and underground, for telegraph
purposes, and that they had not been
made parties to the condemnation pro-
ceedings. The injunction was refused by
Judge Sabin holding that under the laws
of Texas no telegraph company can ac-
quire an exclusive right-of-way over any
grounds in this State. This is the twen-
ty-eighth injunction brought against the
Baltimore & Ohio company by the Wes-
tern Union and its associates since work
was commenced in Texas. All have
been so far decided favorably to the for-
mer company and its lines .are nearly com-
pleted.
