The Alcalde.
The candidates for the governor-
ship are beginning to be "in-erview-
ed," and it behooves the public to
give attention to all such expressions.
In an interview published in tlie State
press last Saturday Major Sayers
had a little to say. We wish it had
been more.
As we have remarked before, all
the candidates are "good democrats,"
and "friends of silver," and we would
repeat that it is to be hoped coinage
questions will be dragged into the
campaign as little as possible, and
that the candidate who gives chief
prominence to such discussions may
receive the cold shoulder. There are
so many questions of pressiug im-
portance that ought to be talked
about that it would not seem too
much to hope that some one will have
the courage, honesty, and intelligence
to make his campaign on practical
State issues.
O! all the candidates, we are in-
clined to hope most from Major
Sayers, and in fact he concludes the
interview referred to with the follow-
ing encouraging statement:
"When the convass shall open next
year I will not hesitate or fail to de-
clare my views candidly and freely
upon all questions that may be pcr-
tiuent to tlie administration of the
State government, or that may be
desired by the people, and to pre-
sent to them for their consideration
such policies as 1 may consider wise
and practical."
It it to be devoutedly hoped that
Major Sayers will fulfill this promise,
and with such power and wisdom
that enlightened friends of this com-
monwealth can li nil souie satisfaction
in voting fon bim; and can feel to
some extent that they are genuinely
dilions and nee'ds of the Slate, but
his long experience in the conduct of
affairs of the lirst magnitude ban
ripened and steadied hiin in a way
which gives excellent ground for ex-
pecting in bim the best possible
governor of Texas under present
circumstances.
We wish Major Sayers would throw
fewer bouquets at the legislative his-
tory of recent years ; but we feel con-
fident that as governor he would steer
the law-makers wisely, and restrain
them, if need were, fearlessly.
The country at large has confidence
in Sayers, and justly so on his record
in Congress. Can this be said of
any of the other candidates? It is
therefore to be believed that his elec-
tion would do all that can be ac-
complished at a tingle stroke just
now to euhearten some of those in-
dustrial enterprises wt are all long-
ing for and talking about so much, to
risk their fortunes among the erratic
lawmakers of Texas. A full tide of
prosperous development must await
gradual changes in public policies
anil character. Confidence is a plant
of slow growth. It takes time to win
a good reputation, and still longer to
recover one once lost.
Warninc.—Persons who suffer from
coughs und colds should heed the warn-
ings of danger and save themselves suf-
fering and fatal results by using One
Minute Cough Cure. It is an infallible
remedy for coughs, colds, croup and all
throat and lung troubles. C. Erhard &
Son and W. J. Mi ley

As it has been some time since
I've had the pleasure of conversing
with the correspondents, I will come
again and help my friend Yap in his
feeble attempts to write up the news.
We have had something like winter
the last few days. "Crimp" has re-
minded us he is up and coming
again.
The young folks of this community
attended the ball in McDade last

didn't attend owing to cold weather.

headed like Rattle A I cannot get

Ollie Smith is recovering from a
spell of typhoid fever.
Oh! Yes, Yap there were "cards"
to the wedding, buttheyj were sent
to the "upper-teens," and that is
why you didn't know anything ahOul
