Republican Convention 61I1.
District.
At the request ot leading liepub
licans in this District, as Chairmau
of the Executive Committee of the
old 4tli Congressional Distrist,
hereby call a Republican Conven-
tion of the Ctlt Congressional Dis
trict, to meet at San Antonio, Bex-
ar Co, on Wednesday tbe 9th day
of September next, at 10 o'clock A
M., for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Congress, or of tak
iug such action with reference tbeie-
to as may be necessary. Tbe basis
of representation will be fixed by
the Convention. All tbe counties
in tbe District are requested to send
as many delegates to tbe Conven-
es they deem proper.
T. C. HARDEN,
Chairman Rep. Ex. Com. old 4th
District.
The Galveston News intimates
that a Constitutional State Con veil
tion would probably "vacate the
executive office." In that case, put
us down in favor of the Convention.
TOE State Gazette is not friendly
to Judge Hancock for Congress in
tbe Fifth District, but it admits that
tbe Bastrop delegates, though Lot
iustructed, will go for him.
The State Gazette thinks the Bexar
county Democrats will declare for
Stockdale for Congress. We hope
they will; for then the Republicans
will "beat them out of their boots''
at the coming election.
We should like to see a conven-
tion that expected to elect its candi-
date without indorsing Gov. Coke.
We believe it would be political death
to any congressional candidate who
dared to go to the polls without it.—
State Gazette
There now, ye brass collar Demo-
crats; you "Jure not go to the polls
without" indorsing Gov. Coke. You
are sentenced to "political death" if
you do, and that by Coke's own or-
gan. This indorsement of Coke will
be forced down your throats at the
Goliad Convention, aye, even at
your own county convention. You
may denounce Coke as much as you
please in private for the wrongs and
harm he has done Western Texas,
but you have got to swear by him
in public. Now it is our turn to
"dare" a little. We "dare"' yon to
nominate a Coke man for Congress.
It you do, we shall be much obliged
to you, and then "beat blue blazes"
out of you.
Tiiehe are some philosophies
which always develop bigotry and
intolerance in their disciples, wheth-
er these philosophies be religious,
ecclesiastical, social or political.
Democracy in the United States,
and especially in the South, is one
of these bigot-begetting philoso-
phies. For instance, the Austin
Statesman has a local news editor
who is a Republican ot the most
moderate character, and one of the
best local editors in the State, lie
has no more to do r.ith the politics
of the Stafr*ri.ii't tltrtu a Republican
lawyer has to do w ith the politics of
his client, or a Republican land
agent with the politics of those who
employ him. He is also a gentle-
man of irreproachable character and
conduct. Yet the State Gazelle uses
the following language about him :
There is nothing in a name. The
St. Louis Democrat is a Radical pa-
per, and the Democratic Statesman
has the most infamous Radical edit-
or in the State.
The word "infamous'' falls very
flippantly and frequently from the
pencil of the Gazette editor in rela-
tion to gentlemen of the first char-
ter, simply because they do not be
long to the bigoted and persecuting
Democracy. The G»:ette will per-
mit a friendly though'opposing con-
temporary to suggest a change in
its style in this matter, for the honor
of Texas journalism, for the good of
society, and for its own interest.
Let it remember that Ilnilbut, the
celebrated editorial writer ot the
New York World, the leading Dem-
ocratic paper of the Nation, is a
Republican.
The Galveston Keicn says that the
default ot the International Rail
way Company in regard to its con-
vertible bonds, is not surprising.
Those bonds were based upon the
expectation oi subsidy from the
State, undercharter contract as stip
ulated by the Twelfth Legislature,
for completed sections of the road.
The company issued bonds purport-
ing to be convertible into subsidy
bonds, about $2,000,000 of which
would now be forthcoming, if the
State bad not refused compliance
with the charter contract, and it is
to be presumed that the company
has defaulted to an extent approxi-
mating to that amount. It appears
that the company expressly assigns
this refusal of the State as its rea-
son for not meeting its own obliga-
tions.
This will now rain the credit of
the State hopelessly, during the
whole of Coke's administration. Not
a single State bond can now be sold
Not a capitalist in the world will let
tbe State have a dollar. And yet
Texas has the smallest debt, the
lowest taxation, the richest resour
ces, the most rapid development of
we alth, the best growing crops, and
the brightest future of any State iu
the Union, Shall "Cokcry" choke
the life out of the State for three
years and a half longer? Is there
no telief ? Why, we are suffocating
now. And they said, "Let us get
into power, and all will be well!"
Who will vote for a Coke man now ?
Reagan is trying to beat Hem-
don, the present incumbent, for the
Democratic nomination forCongress
in the first District, and will probab-
ly succeed. There is no choice be-
tween them; both are bad enough.
Culberson and De Morse are the
principal aspirants in the Second
District. Both are good men, con-
sidering that they are Democrats,
but Culberson is the best. Throck-
morton is already uominated in the
Third District; we are rejoiced at it,
and hope the Republicans will sup
port him. Iu tbe Fourth District
Mills, the present incumbent, is op-
joml by Stewart, of Houston.
Mills, though an ardent Democrat,
is much the best man. He is a
gentleman of the first water, and
was a gallant soldier and officer.
Stewart is a bigot, who did not fight
any in war, but wants to fight now,
when there is no danger, like Coke
Ireland, Stockdale, and all the other
bitter Democrats. In the Fifth Dis-
trict the race is between Haneock
and Giddings, and iu the Sixth it is
between the Coke-Ireland anti rail-
road ring, and their opponents.

London, Aug. 3.—The Standard
says the report that England, Ger-

A 4>ood 1»I«m Sick—Politiciilly.
Just after tlii) precit.ct meeting was
held at am) declared for Throck-
morton over Good, at the home of the
hitter, we see that Good withdraws iu a
card in the ITerahl, of the 13tli instant, in
which ho says :
1 do not think the n suit of that conven-
tion is a fair expression of the wishes ot
Dallas county, tint as a!! political move-
ments in this latter day ate more or less
governed by tho potency of ring influence,
1, like all ethers, must bow in submission
to this power. For my part my obeisance
is made with all the grace that such in-
tegrity is eutitied to.
Immense Enthusiasm for Coke.
This is a heading of the telegraphic
columns of the Houston lelet/raph. We
looked down the column but toniul no
dispatch giving the particulars. If there
is in Texas any "enthusiasm'' for Coke we
wonhl like to know where it is. We re-
gret to noto that expressions directly to
the reverse are frequently heard in this
part of the woods —ilcliinncy Enquirer,

his Aj kkction.
Augusta, Aug. 3.—At Mofiitsville, Hen-
derson county, a young German named

iu love, lie became jealous of a supposed
rival, and deliberately killed her while
they were sitting in Mr. Tucker's parlor.
The murderer lied, hut was arrested and
put in jail at Henderson Courthouse.
The Tribune Thinks Railroad Congress
Means Forearming for Granger
Aggressions.
New York, Aug. 3.—The Tribune thinks
that while the ostensible purpose of the
recent railroad confercnce at Saratoga was
to make combinations to facilitate trans-
portation and establish uniform freight
and passenger rates, tho roads really com-
bined to resist what they look upon as the
forthcoming encroachments of the western
Grangers.

third, and a million on the second and
fourth Thursdays, of August, making five

Mrs. Tilton Examined.
A partial report of Mrs. Tiltoti's cxami
nation before the committee Friday night,
tonches only a few points of the full ex-
amination of Mrs. Tilton, which, however,
before the committee, as elsewhere, main-
tained a tone of most effectionate forbear-
ance toward her husband, refusing to
speak of his faults, except where the
thread of his. testimony absolutely requir-
ed it.
Two incidents, which Mr. Tilton had
introduced iu his statement, as matters
ho had passed over and forgotten when
they occurrod, to reveal to them when this
suspicion of Mr. Beechor arose, for of
necessity alluded to the improper caress,
alleged by Mr. Tilton to have been given
and received in Mr. Bwecher's parlor, is
totally denied, both specifically mil iu
gcueral denial. Of any impropei ii. iiuacy
or other incident, Mrs. T. renumbered
nothing of, except so fur as this, sh •, with
her husband and Mr. B. was sitting one
day iu a bed room connected by folding
doors with a common sitting room, at Mr.
T.'s house. Mr. T, left them for a few
minutes, and when he returned fouud
them where he had lot them.

ancestry aud kinsmen have been curious,
and that a large minority of them have
frequented lunatic asylums.
