UOOD THINGS FROM TEXAS.
New,Y6rkers Feasting on Oysters
Taken Frotn Bottom of the
Roma.
New Yorkr Oct. 24. The resi
dents of the neighborhood of Twen
tysixth Street and Second Avenue,
Borough of Brooklyn, are feasting
on Southern oysters which came
from Texas on the Bottom of the
steamship Roma. Their existence
was nnknown until she was put in
to dry dock for survey last Satur
day, previous to being overhauled
by the Ross Iron Works. Then
it is claimed several hundred bush
els of oysters were found to have
fastened themselves on the bottom
of the steamship from the keel to
the water mark, at least 1000 being
of mature size and edible, as the
men about the dock found to their
v satisfaction. Yesterday the bottom
of the dry deck was strewn with
oyster shells and a number of res
taurant keepers of the neigborhood
took away baskets full of them.
Theodore Krombach of the Yacht
. Hotel had oyster supper for his
friends to-night. News.
The Watterson .Boom,.
Atlanta Journal.
It jias been announced by several
Kentucky newspapers that Mr.
Henry Watterson is a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Kentucky. ,
The famous editor declines to
either affirm or deny the report and
the Louisville Courier-Journal,
whose editorial chair he fills so
ably, is silent on the subject. The
inference is that Mr. Watterson
has set hnigmg eyes on the execu
tive ofiice of his adopted State.
This is an interesting probability.
Mr. Watterson is a uational rath
er than a State celebrity. He has
been a political leader of large in
fluence aud wide range since 1876,
when he becameconspicuous by his
advocacy of the nomination aud
election of Samuel S. Tilden to the
Presidency, and later by his fierce
denunciation of the outrage which
deprived that great man of the of
fice to which he was elected.
Mr. Tilden esteemed Watterson
very highly and few men were ad
mitted so fully to the confidence of
the Sage of Gramercy Park. lu
every Democratic National Conven
tion from that of 1876 to that of
1892 Henry Watterson figured
more or less potently. He is cred
ited with having written more than
one of the national platforms of
his party and he certainly is main
ly responsible for the amendment
.of the platform of 188S and that
of the platform of 1892 which made
their declarations for tariff reduc
tion clearer and more emphatic than
they were in the original draft.
In 1896 Mr. Watterson was one
of the many Democrats who bolted
the nomination of William J. Bryan
on account of the free silver issne,
but in 1900 he returned to thereg
,nlar Democratic fold and support
ed Bryan vigorously.
Even his enemies admit that he
is a man of great force: His pow
er both as a writer and an orator
has been demostrated often.
His ripening years have made
Mr. Watterson calmer in council
and less reckless in leaping to po
sitions, but have not deprived him
ofany degree of that power of per
suasive pleading or heavy hitting
that won his first fame.
Watterson as a candidate for
-Goveruoriu a doubtful State would
be v.ery interesting; Waiterson as
Governor would be a problem, biit
a very hopeful one.
