brother Swindolls, is boarding the

il possible that any Of the numerous

hardly believe it. And yet | should
not feel like blaming them much if
they did.
Money is plenty in Galveston and
Houston and can be had on strictly
first class security at s per cent.
But strictly first class security don't
want it; and no collaterals save
twenty dollar gold pieces are equal

Stcrne's reply to the Monthly Re-

Stuart, "Heartily and from my

1 don't know but I shall havo to |
certain moderate remarks
have made about the Convention
ow in session. 1t seems to me
Many of the members are stark
razy. l beg them to remember
hat they are on their good beha.
ior, no matter what their apparent
over may be, and by as much as
hey go blindly into extreme meas
res now, by so much must they
xpect another extreme TO be aimed
when, as is inevitable, political
over again and in turn passes into
Their hands. The bottom rail can
OF always stay on top. And espe-
ally do revolutions never stand
ill leaving the world bottom up
ards. The social fabric is like q
rairie pond after a storm. In the
uiet which must some time come
&c mud will all settle to the bottom.
, was creditable to that body that
lie so-called alb initio idea was not
filtered to prevail. Whether the
Their of it, Mr.. Morgan Hamilton,
} designed it or not, the chief re-
lit of such q doctrine if established
Guild be to make the Legislature
Texas the most corrupt body of
w-makers on earth. The whole
'untry would have been in their
lnds to be bought out on their own
