State Gazette 6ru ol,lcl atlsnlioI IN the
necessity Of state Convcntio", In vleS OF
appointing delegates 10 The Nnto nnl Con
vcntiin aud making nominations for Cen.
g;'s. We heartily eoncurrcl with the
Gazette both as Ia the time anil place, and
believing III We shoull begin to he think
ing over the matter, we also suggested that
GOV. Throck morton was the 'very man, In
ar Judgment, ior one " the cinli,laies
'or the State At large. Was that wrong?
We said nothing in disparagcmtn of other
democrats attempted nohing like d'c
laiiun. The Denton Monitor, however did
not like our suggestion aud intimSled Sc
rious objections to Gov. Throcb mort or
much 10 our surprise. We kindly enquired
for specification of the affections, aud
nil that We can now GIT isa reference to
six verses of the 9Th CHIP ~ rSt Mttthew.
d! 70 refresh our memory, We have turned ia
the Holy Book, aud find nolhing therein
having any bearing on the qres ion OIL
| Gov. Tbrockm ,rton's i;nsss TO rspresen
the people of Texas ir Congress. Taere |,
'one hing hbou. trees that bear no frni
and wolves in Sleeps elrthiag, ~but this
sure. has as much re!e ence to the people
Of Denton rs to the people OF Collin o.
Dallas. This is not a qu s'ion Of Christi
nnity. Here we would ask, why |, is, tina
The pions Monitor connects Gov. Hamilton
with Gov. Throckmorton aud the llEHALI
, in this matter? Is this in true Christian
spirit? The HERALD has lot recomncn
led Gov. Hamilton for Congress-it ncvc
dreamed of such thing. The Monio
knows this. An editor who heads his po
liti,a leaders with Scripural quotations
and refers TO St Matthew to sustain them
should be more particular and more jus
towards his brethren of the press, thong
they may be sinners. We have said moth
ing and we have nothing to say in behal
Of Gov. Hamilton.
Our desire is for the State Convention
10 nominate Gov. Throckmorton as one @
the anlidatcs, believing him to be of IN
bemishcd priv.tc character, with nm ex
cellent public record, and now in acccr
dance with the great mass of the democ
racy both in Texas and he Union. Shout
The Convention, howeve", nominate an
other man from this section, we-shall Civ
him TIE earnest support Of the IIERALr
though ii should he our rather extrem
brother of tie Monitor. We intend I
abide by the decisions of our party, as es
pressed in legitimate Conventions, am
adopting the words Of our contemporary, 81
is painful! to us 10 witness a disposition o
the part of very feeble element in til
ranks of the democracy to seek to stir II
discord and strife" When we say "fcebl
element" we mean the extreme, ilnpracti
liable portion Of the democracy of the Who'll
State, Ms manifested in the last Democrat
State Convention. Although not dele
gate, VT were present at that Convention
and we approved of the Platform, the
adopted. We know nothing Of the excite
ment attending the Dallas District Con
vention it should not be remembered =
We know this, however, that, though thel
absent from The SAFE, We thoashI the re
nomination Of Mr.. Conner i,e one, an |
as soon MS we took charge of the llER>Lr
we supported i. warmly. But the nomi
nation of Gov. Throckmorion for the State
nj large has nothing to co with this Dis
,rici and its former sqrabbles = its democ
racy can nominate whom it pleases for it
immediate Representative, Anl the IIgn-
AID will not be found endeivoring to lie
prcciste any worthy democrat, whose nam
may be presented BY the Mo. iior or an,
other democratic paper. We desire TO h,
on the hest o. Terms with al our demo
cratic poraries, and especially wit
all near home in Northern Texas, and j
they will but extend to us that courtesy
and forbearnncc which we ihss 10 on
due, they will he sure to find them Repro
citcd fully if not TO overflow 'ng. Disor
organization, in any aspect, does not appl.
to us--we are for organizing the Democrat
ic Party, and making it as large snI in
huen,ial and form liable MS possible for the
defeat of Grant and the radicals. Thi
can rot be done, if a few extreme, violen
men control our party, and attempt to os
tra,se all who do not think exactly lik
themselves.
