To the Editor Of the Dallas RgraR:
II is with pleasure that ia the last uumber OF the
Herald | noticed ysur remarks the subject
Of the Congressional In this District. had
supposed that the precptl,e, dsgrsceful and disas
trous action Of the Austin COHrcHiiOR would have
taught the clique there molcsty At least Bat, in
steal Of that 1t appears that they s, desire not ou
ly the plumber Of the public treasury but are pres
sing themselves aud each other forward for all the
Offices Of honor and responsibility in the gift OF the
people of the District and State. And the appear
ance Of the article in the Houston Telegraph re-
cemmendirg Steiner for Csugrsss, boldly dSgGses
the locality Of its origin OF I'll the dsgraceiul acts
of these organ rers 10 rule the District and Ois their
peculiar friends and pets upon the people, this last
certuinly is entitled to the premium. II is absolute
~ disgusting to this writer, who has never seen
Sam, aud has always been democrat to see the
avility with which he renegades from other parties
and particularly er-kuow nohiags are pressing them
selves aud are being pressed upon the democracy for
Office l wiling tn receive such as Steiner,
Thi ockmortOn and pchiltree and K. II. Taylor, into
the ranks but think they should take = back seat,
and not supersede those who were the leaders and
soldiers Of the contest OF 1885, when they were found
silent or in the slcmy's ranks AIN opposed to haY-
ing deserters for leaders, and even if were in favor
Of that course think the price st which Steiner is
rated, is far too large for him or any Of his ilk |
and besides think this District find represen
tatiye outside Travis county, the influence Of the
clique there. Judge Gregg, Of Fairfield,
would suit uI here very well, being in every res !
pect gentleman, and is well posted in law, litera
ture politics, and may be little better than any
Of the Austin gentry--is An orator, Sates-rights
democrat and capable Of coping with A. J. Hamil-
ton, who may De the opposition candidate. As this
is no time go barter away the post of a member Of
Congress, but the contrary the people are entitled
to- and should have the services OF their purest and
sbest men iu the next Congress, we should force
them to serve US now, and discard the eicc-seekng
generation. Judge Gregg asa Judge can be lily
spared, but ID there is Supreme Court { less able
man would do for that position, and AZ Western de-
mocrat | ala for John Gregg for Congress, whether
he desire to serve or not Skall we have simi
