Sayers For Governor.
Major Joseph D. Sayers has
'formerly announced himself
through the medium of the news
paper as a candidate for govern
or of Grand Old Texas. It has
"been tacitly understood and
w agreed ior some time that he was
ilie logical candidate for the
glace, and now that he has
passed the Rubicon and must
stand or fall by the cast of the
die, it behooves his friends gen
erally throughout the State and
particularly those in his old con
gressional district to go actively
So work in his behalf and leave
no stone unturned that will in
any way contribute to his suc
cess, carefully setting aside all
barries that conflict vith the tri
umphant culmination of his
laudable ambition. Already, in
-the very incipiency of the can
vass, it is apparent that a Sayers
ground swell has set in which by
ihe ides of November '98 will en
able him to make an easy land
ing in the gubernatorial harbor.
At the same time, be it remem
bered, there is no royal road to
the State's chief executiveship,
and virtue is not always its own
reward in the complex game of
pontics, inis same campaign
may witness a battle royal be
tween the people, who are for
Sayers, and the politicians, who
.are not.
The platform on which Mr.
Sayers will stand and the prin
ciples he will advqcate,as enun
ciated in his announcement, are
gratifying in the extreme to his
friends. His past record during
many years of faithful service in
congress is a sufficient guarantee
that his future conduct of public
affairs will be guided by economy
and conservatism. His ortho
doxy as a democrat thoroughly
in accord with the traditions and
teachings of his party on all
subjects is proven by the fidelity
j his adherence to both the
State and National platforms.
He is a staunch friend of silver
-and favorable to any legislation
looking to the restoration of the
white metal to its proper place in
ihe currency of the country. His
indorsement of the distinguish
ing policy of the recent State
administrations touching railroad
and bond legislation shows that
under his directing hand these
-wise reforms will be carefully
Postered. The announcement
ifaat he will encourage manufac
iures in every legitimate way
and treat liberally all movements
looking to the industrial devel
opment of Texas is a step for
vrard in which he will have the
Scarry concurrence of all pro
gressive citizens. In closing an
editorial on the subject of Major
Sayers' candidacy the Galveston
Tribune says:
"It is altogether a platform
and a candidate to challenge
support and enlist active co-op-
eration among those who long to
ssee a State of political peace and
tnaterial progress. And those
-who know" the man will guaran
tee that he will be true to his
-word in the last syllable of its
meaning."
