by Geo. W. Hovey, Secretary Of the Re-
publican Convention, Third Congressional
District, and a dozen delegates. including
George P. Dougless and G. f. Ruby, from
Galveston county. denounces the Conser-
natives, led by Hamilton, as composed Of
ex-rebels, Ku Klux Democrats, Knights Of
the White Camelia, and all other elements
of opposition to the principles of republi-
caniS1n.
Ii also SAYS that the Custom House at
Galveston, the New York of Texas; is un-
the control of John B. Haynes, who is the
prime mover of the Hamilton movement,
