and bottom at the free terry, ami arc con-
sidering the matter as we go to press,
but it is not likely that they will take
any action, as they want the presence
and opinion of commissioner Keller to
represent the west side interests before
acting in the matter.
K. G. Kuykendall has given the court
the information that a good crossing, us-
able in the highest water, can be had
near Berry Watkins** field, close to Dry
Smith's, and he suggests that a free ferry
be put in there for the w est side people,
and allow Mr. Jim Watkins to again run
his ferry as a private enterprise and
charge tolls as bcfoie. Mr. Kuykendall
says the west side people could use the
new ferry for trips to either Bay City or
Matagorda. Then the Bay Lity ferry
could be moved up the river above the
mouth of Blue creek. What the court
thinks of these suggestions we don’t
know.

Hall’s Family Pills are the best.*
ty the lEmocral are nniurally
for the strongest possible local man to
bead their ticket, and the pot is already
steaming. The friends of Col. Gresham
assert that if he can be induced to ac-
cept the nomination he could carry ail
the Democratic interior counties, and
judging the future by the past, he could
at least ntorc than break even in his
home county. They argue that as
Galveston is more interested in national
legislation than all tlic rest of the dis-
trict, Col. Gresham’s record makes him
a logical candidate, and point out that
in last 21 years he has been a prime fac-
tor in sec uring for Galveston the Sama
Fe railroad, the jetties, Huntington's
coming here and they now want him to
exert his energies in having the channel
in front of the wharves made deeper,
and make the assertion that lie is the
man to do this, it is doubtful whether
he could be prevailed upon to accept a
nomination upon a platform having free
silver as the main issue.
The friends of John Lovejoy say he
has always been a consistent Democrat,
that he is a fine mixer and that he would
be the ideal man to head the ticket.
The other Richmond is, or will in all
probability be Maj. John C. Walker.
While Maj. Walker has never taken a
lead in party matters, he has always
been in the fold and his friends say
that when the votes are counted he will
run a good, strong race.
The interior will, of course, have its
quota of candidates, but at the conven-
tion they will hardly get more than a
complimentary vote; for, as bcfoie stated,
if the Democrats hope to win they must
have at the bead of their ticket a man
who can catch the independent vote of
Galveston county.
Owing to the complexion of the sen
ate nothing can be done in the way of
ligislating for silver in the next two years
and very likely the platform that the
Democrats of this distri t will adopt will
not contain more than a perfunctory
plank for the free and unlimited coir.agc
ot silver.
The Republicans arc keeping mighty
still just .tow. They are in and mean to
s lyrfin They will r.ot hold their con-
vclition until alter the Democrats h ive
held theirs, and it depends very much
upon whc. the Democrats nominate as
to who their candidate will be. If the
Democ rats put up a strong man they
will not consider Mr. Hawley's person il
wishes and will insist upon his again
lending them. But if the Democrats put
up a weak man they will allow Mr. Haw-
ley to retire and find some other candi-
date to lead them.

At any rate, these elements are much
more promising sources of accretion to
the Democratic rote of the district than
is the independent vote of Galveston.)
Thf political pot that will boil out the ‘
next congressman from tins district has (
started to simmer, inside of the next 60
it will be boiling and by the time sum-
1
meris advanced clouds of steam will be
pouring from that uncertain urn. The .
voter of this district who by fall fails to
learn all about the economic questions
that will shake the political world, will
• <
be the one who won’t see, for they will
i
be preached from every nook and cor- .
ncr ot the nine counties that comprize
‘ i
the tenth congressional cisirict ot the
great state of Texas.
The Democrats have fill the sting of
defeat in the last two elections and they
are preparing in themost cautious man-
ner to start their campaign. Already
couriers arc being sent here, there and
everywhere to feel the pulse ot the polit-
ical system of the large independent
vote. Personal ambitions are to be sac-
rificed upon the altar nf prospective
Democratic success. They are deter-
mined to name as their standard bearer
the man who, besides polling the full
party strength, will also correl a suffici-
ent number ol the voters who refuse to
wear the collar of any party, to land
their candidate in a scat in congress.
There ara only two consistent Demo-
cratic counties in the district: Lavaca,
with majorities ranging from 600 to 900,
and Gonzales, with majorities ranging
from 800 to tooo. But in the coming
election even these two, with the Popu-
list party no longer a factor, may be
classed as doubtful: There are under
normal conditions four consistent Re-
publican counties. Fort Bend with Re
publican majorities ranging from 1000
to 1 500; Brazoria ranging from 400 to
500; Matagorda ranging from 200 to 300
and Colorado ranging from 300 to 500.
although, owing to factional lights, the
latter county went for Robson in last e-
lerlion. With the above counties in
their respective columns the battle must
t>e fought out in La'ayelte, a sound mon-
ey county: Austin, also a sound money
county, and Galveston, which is above
everything a doubtful county, with sound
money inclinations.
The past two elections prove to the
Democrats that in order to carry the dif-

sonal acquaintanceship with Senator
Chilton. 1 herefote, upon personal
grounds, wc would prefer Mr. Bailey.
But out preference for Mr. Bailev is
not based upon friendship alone. While
Senator Chilton k a man of hign char-
acter and very respectable ability Mr.
Bailey is evidently the inure bniliant, the
more coutagceus, the more aggressive,
the piotuumicr and ablei of the two. any
in cveiy public matter upon which th<>
d’fi'er, our judgment approves tlic pus-
lion of Mi. Bailey rather than that ci
Senator Chilton.
On the subject of finance, while botl
are tree silver men, they differ as to pa
per currency. Senator Chilton favors a
revival of state banks of issue; while Mi.
Bailey favors a currency issued by th
government itself, and would deny t<
all banks, both state and national, lh<
power to issue currency; lie legardiiq
this power, like that of coinage, as
function of sovereignty, suit too dangei
ous to be entrusted to any soil of banks
and in these views Till! Tribune agre..
with him. Tlic right to issue bills in

and thus the closely associated bank
utve the power to make m uicy pleat;
ul 01 scarce, as it may be tolheintcrc
01 their speculative owners to enham

S> n. tor Chilton is n supporter of th

Bailey opposes any sort of partnerseq
between the government and prlvat

1 robably much more rennins and will
ever remain hidden.
But in his differences with Senator
Chilton upon the tariff and exoantion
will lie Mr. Bailey's greatest strength
with the people of Texas; because in
these difl'eicnces the material interests
nf die whole s'ate, and especially of
South Texas, rue n.ost directly and vital-
ly involved.
We understand that, theoretically,
both Senator Chilton and Mr. Bailey
lie lice ti.idvi ,, and as such are oppose.
to all protective tariff duties; but both
re, ognize the tad that the abolition 0
all protective duties is at this time im-
practicable. In order to procure a tv-
duition ofduties on manufactured good •
Senator Chilton would compensate tlio
manufacturers with tree raw material*.
He would say to the manufacturers,“In-
stead of giving you 40 per cent, piotcc-
tion on the products of your factories,
and making you pay out half of it in
protective duties on the raw materials
you use, let us give you free raw m tte-
ri.ds and only 20 per cent, protectlor.
