Ii the Democratic party was not de-
strOyed i'm the reign of terror under the
two last years OF Mr.. LincOln's first
torn, when twelve Democratic States
of the Union did not cast IL vote, and
when thousands of Democratic voters
in the North were intimdated by the
threatenings of military power, then
we would have those who SO loudly
proclaim that the Democratic party is
dead to inform the people what would
cause its death. II came out from this
sore ordeal, ana in 1868 cast nearly
1000, 600 more votes than at any pre-
vious election, and $4,000 more votes
than at any period in its previous his
tory. Where could there be greater
indications of vitality? In 1872, when
hundreds and thousands of Democrats
refused to participate in the election, it
showed an increase of $4,000 over the
vote at the previous election. 1t is Il
little curious to examine the figures at
the last six Presidential clcctions-thc
one In 1852 being the last contest be-
tween the old Wing party and the De
mocracy-and for that purpose we
append the Democratic vote cast for
twenty-four years for President:

THE CONVENTION.

1t is admitted by all, even the Oldest
men in our State, that the Convention
recently adjourned in Austin was the
largest, most harmonious and ablest
ever convened in Texas. Its lahors are
evidenced by it's results. None but the
best and purcst men in thc whole State
have been selected to bear our banner
forward to successful victory and tri-
umph. In arriving at its conclusions,
not only time, but mature dclibera-
ton, was employed by the true patriots
to whom was entrusted the complicated
affairs of our State. There was no
haste made in order to dispatch the
formula of business, nor was there any
disregard of merit on the part of those
to whom the country looked to name
the standard bearers of our principles.
Before the Convention was convened,
no one in attendance upon ii doubted
but that Ex-Governor ThrOckmOrton
would he named as the chosen chief to
lead the Democracy of Texas Oh to the
triumphant victory that awaits il at
the December election.
No higher EN- omium can ever be
pronounced upon that untlinching pa
triot than to repeat what his whole
course in the nominating campaign
justifics us in stating here-that when
he declined to contest for gubernato-
rial palms, he declined in fact, nor
would he allow any seductive prom
Uses or vain glories to seduce him from
the standpoint he had already taken.
SO soon as the rtimOr reached his ears,
that his friends would force him before
the Convention as a candidate for Gov
ernor, he reiterated his entire disap-
proval OF the plan, and again declined
to permit himself to be drawn into Il
contest in which his personal interests
and the hest advice of his friends would
both he destroyed. Gov. Throckmorton
worked for but one thing, and that was
the good of Texas, and no man dare say
that by either word or deed he mani
tested the slightest desire to advance
himself while every one who watched
his course must proclaim that genuine
patriotism was the sole and only mo-
tive power that moved him in the dis
charge of his duties as a delegate, The
nominee, Judge Coke, is an old Texan,
true man, and one whose deep,
searching mind will not only detect
corruption, but will also suggest to his
uncomfortable will the suppression
thereof, whenever and wherever dis
covered. He has been trusted i'm high
places before-has been weighed In the
great scale Of merit and found to be
equal to great public demands. His
very looks indicate the stern, deep and
earnest man he is, and with him for
leader the Democratic party OF Texas
may rest assured that no halt or rest
will be taken in the onward movement
until victory has pcrched upon our
banners, and until peace, plenty and
prosperity again prevail throughout our
land. With Judge Coke every one is
satisfied, because in him no guile Is
found, but on the contrary profound
intellectually, hacked by fTmness Of

From Rowell's Newspaper Rcporter.l
IL is time all business men should
understand that, with here and there Il
special exception. the newspaper Is pdi'
excellence the only medium for adNer-
Using that is worth their serious atten-
ton. The newspaper is II thing of life,
A visible fact, sure of its circulation,
certain to be read. 1t constantly renews
its youth; daily or weekly it appears
afresh, containing many old faces,
making themselves constantly more
and more familiar, but holding also
fresh facts, the latest news, the last
wonder even In its gossip, its gives the
matter of its time and tells US what is
alive and moving. up to the very date
il bears, while its advertising columns
show what is being done in CONNER
cial circles and lays before its r aders a
concise summary of these new ideas
through which money is made by their
fellows. As compared with all other
advertising methods its charges are
reasonable, and its promises modest,
and while the business man is support
ing it, he is, moreover, gaining from it
in more ways than he may see at first
sight.
How is it on the other hand with the
"Hotel Albums" strangers Guides"
and such like volumes introduced to
the merchant by the supple young so
licitor, as "the greatest mejum of the
age" or the grandest advertising
scheme ever projected ~ II i true
that the merchant Is promised "a cir
culation of from five to ten Thousand
and a copy gratis to every hotel" But
is the promise kept? are one Thousand
copies printed ?-five hundred Zone

of knowing. 1t is too often the case
that such schemes are advertising traps
