That tulk about tho Republicans

Tllden had 13757 majority in that
state In 1870 Hancock 11118 majority
in 18S0 and the Democrats carried
three of the four congressional districts
lu 1882 South Carolina though stolen
from the Democrats in 1870 gave Hau
oock a majority of 51211 lu 1880 and
In 1881 the total Republican vote was

Senator Bayards Tariff Views
The erroneous Impression has gone
abroad in Texas that Senator Bayard
Is a Democrat of protection sympa-
thies and that he Is not In harmony
with his party upon the great princi-
ple of tariff reform If anything in
Mr Bayards long record In congress
could sustain the Imputation of disloy-
alty to tarill reform The GArrrE
which believes that a reduction of
tarill taxes to a strictly revenue basis
is the hope of the country would bo
last of all Democratic papers to give
him favor Mr Bayard is not a pro
tjctionlst he Is not even an Inciden-
tal protectionist He Is for tarill re-
form to the extent of removing all
taxes which aro Imposed for a purely
potoctlve purpsee Had tho Morri
son bill passed tho hou e and entered
the senate Mr Bayard would have
supported It by his logic and by his
vote
Speaking In the senate on March 2
1882 Mr Bayard said in the course of
itBpeech atticklug the present protec-
tive tariff
Wo have abolished from our constitution
of government alt orders or nobility wu have
abolished a 1 privileged classes but lr you
shall admit the principle Mitt A can claim
a right to tax B and nil others for his own
benefit how can you withhold tho same
principle from It when ho demandt P7 The
principle oneo admitted Is utterly fatal It Is
utterly unjust
This language Is the languago of no
protectionist So far to the contrary
Is Senator Bayard that he denies abso
lutely the constitutional right to Im-
pose any tax for protective purposes
and asserts that the principle of tax
lng one man for tho benellt of another
Is utterly fatal uttorly unjust
Again he said referring to the Influ-
ences that wore being combined to
resist a reduction of tho tarlffwhen tho
tariff commission was Investigating
the condition of manufactures and tho
necessity of protection In 1832
l have not underrated nor do I now under
rate the power or the organized manufac
turers of this csuniry Intrenched behind tho
forms of law to dqfy the attempts to reform
that law I have regarded tho formation of
the tnrltrcommission for which I voted I
htve regarded tho attempt to frame this law
for which I voted as mere preliminary sltlr
mlheslntboumggiothatls to como here
after aid of tho ultimate result of which I

of the Idea thnt I now mean to

city ofChtcago lu which the speaker avowed
that what was needed todny Is n tariff for
protection w 1th Incidental revenue This
doctrine Mr President Is so utterly at va-
riance with all that Is constitutional reason-
able and Just that I cannot too strongly de-
nounce It nnd take Issue with It hero nnd
everywhere
I do not propose nt this tlmo to discuss the
principles of tarltt taxation at nny leugth
They must soon bo discussed nnd acted upon
by the American people nnd their reprcsen
tntlves because If time bo todny ono con-
ceded fact It is that tariff ami revenue re-
forms nre essential for the welfare nnd pros-
perity of our country If wo Intend to main-
tain her placo In tho foremost rank of civil

Thero Is not a Democrat In the state
of Texas who would do violence to his
principles by supporting Senntor Bny
and He goes as far ns his party goes
lu favor of freedom of commerclnl In-
tercourse between the nations nnd he
Is as thoroughly identified with his
partys policies and principles ns nny
man in it
It Is An Issue
A few months ago the laudlenso or-
gans boasted what the laud board
would do and what tho legislature
would do with the public lands and
declared that the disposition of the
public lands was something with
which tho people had naught to do
The tune is now changed The peo-
ple have something to do with this
matter nnd they are actinc on it
Those who favor the lease sj stem say
so those who want a herd law declare
their wishes and thoso who tire op-
posed to both arc freo to express such
opposition The disposition of the
public lands is an issue and in moro
than one county in Texas tho candi
date for the legislature will be elected
on that hsue The lordliness of the
lauuleaso and herdlaw organs Is all
gone nnd lu its place may be observed
n respectful deference to the people
Free grass Is not a mere matter of leg
islative detail and the politician or
newspaper that foils to see what is go-
ing on will be left The newspaper
freshs who were talking so glibly of
tho legislaWe and laud board are
Ecarcely ever heard from now The
people will decide this question
Watch tho Legislature
Let every untlleaso man in Texas
see to it thnt the man he votes for is
opposed to the lease laws of the state
If the Democracy should fail to prom-
ise the Northwest relief If it should
fuil to promise that policy w hich Is
best to all Texas tho people can se-
cure relief by electing to the legisla-
ture such men only as are sound on
the question And should the con-
vention promise relief from pastures
and leased baronies It Is still tho duty
of all untlleaso men to vote only for
antilease candidates lor the legisla-

Mr Flower is plain and frank even
to bluntness When asked whether he
would he a candidate for the presi

that he way not a candidate If Mr Tll
