doing it. We cannot, mince matters
when we have so much at stake. In
these lower districts of Texas the
political contests must in the
nature of things be bitter. When
the morals of the Radical party have
improved, then, and not until then,
will the issue change so .as to admif
of more temperate discussion. Now,
our duty as a journalist is plain.
We cannot and will not submit to
corrupt Radical rule being imposed
upon this people without a struggle
terrible and unrelenting. Our re-
ward will be the victory of the Dem-
ocratic party, or at least the consola-
tion of having done our whole duty
to those who arc nearest and dearest
to us. All other issues are dwarfed
by the local contest, which is now
raging in this District and county.
We have no other thought now, save
the compassing of the defeat of those
who are alien to our interets and to se-
cure to our home people honestgo vern-
ment through representative officials.
To bring about this happy consuma-
tion, we invoke the aid and assistance
of every honest and thoughtful citi-
zen, and shall fight it through to the
end. In this contest, we are glad to
see that some of the leading papers
of Texas are vouchsafing us their
countenance and support. We are
thankful for this assistance. They
know what we have endured, and ex-
tend to us their fraternal sympathy
and co-operation. In this behalf the
State Gazette has the following :
The Houston Age is doing noble
service in support of its local demo-
cratic ticket. The democracy of the
entire State are vitally mi erested in
the triumph of the democracy of
Harris county and look with deep
solicitude to the result. The Bayou
City has suffered long enough from
Fetish misrule, and every honest citi-
zen, be he white or black, in Harris
county, should sustain the Demo-
cratic ticket. As the good people of
Houston hope to wield a power and
influence commensurate with her
grand commercial interests, they
should move solidly forward in this
crisis, to the support of men who can
alone be of service to them ; for the
grand triumphs of the Democracy
will soon be signalized in State as
well as National Government.
