II WIS hes, 10 60 with tho current Ei-
pccinlly the mere politicians, who arc al
ways watching Tor some thing Of this sort
FASTENED to declare for Greeley. In this
State, the same means we're used to effect
! the democratic masses and o large por-
/ ton Of tho leading politicians echoed tho
/ ory Of tho Galveston News, that no demo-
crut could be elected, and that everybody
was going for Greeley. We know very
well that this was not true, but 1t Is said
that lie well stuck to is as good MS the
truth sometimes Nine tcnths Of the
democracy Of Texas were said TO DO for
Greeley. The people were almost unoni'
nous COR Greeley. They were really clap
crous for Greeley. They would vote for
Greeley anyhow, in spite of National Con-
vcntions, The Greeley men went actively
to work. They attended MI the meetings
and did their yery.Lest to secure Greeley
delegates to the Stale Convention, They
woro sure that when the Convention met,
resolutions indoraing Greeley would be
easily put through. They were carly on the
groun |, and ihoy worked together and
lRborod ha,d to effect their purpose
They were thoroughly organized and pre-
pared. Their resolutions wtre ready, and
they had t.iUiI prOgrntnmn lai down, who
w"s to c temporary ard permanent Pres
ident-- who chairmen Of certain important
mittocs-who were to be called on for
Speeches. The programme was carried
out At the earliest opportunity, Hub
bard anl Lubbock and Judge Maxoy
and Stewart and Mills made Greeley
speeches. The President, Judge Reagan,
made his well connected Greeley speech,
and yet, with all this preparation and
with all these favorable circumstances,
they failed. Why? Because the hearts
Of Tie Democracy are not with Greeley
they never can be. The more Greeley was
discussed, the more the old democrats
shrank from him. They said it was a bit |
ter pill If they had to swallow it., they |
must do it with ugly faces. at best, they |
could not ask for it. They would rather
the thing would pass from them. Such |
was the feeling with most of the real al.
ways democrats, assembled at CorscanA,
and still stronger is this feeling among The
people in the country, especially where the
whites predominant. 1t is useless to deny
this. The Greeley democrats are mostly
among the merchants and bankers and
lawyers and politicians, but go to the
country, where people breathe pure Dir
and are exempt from outside influences,
and you will find that they are opposed to
Greeley, md willing to take him only as
q last resort, as a possible Improvement
On Grant. And such we think he would
DC, and as such we shall try to swallow
rim if we can do nothing better. But we
want no sugar coating. We don't want
o be told that Greeley is q nice sweet
hing, and altogether lovely. If cur dem
'cratic friends continue this, we shall be-
ome disguised and swear off, we fear
Let no honest democrat attempt TO defend
he record Of lIoracc--no honest Demo-
rat can. Let it be said, if it should come {
10 this, which Heaven avert, they are both
nd, but change may do some good-.et :;
