CLUB oRGANrzATIoNs.


Club organizations have always been con
sidered necessary to the success Of parties.
Through them the necessary steps are taken
in the most effective way for bringing the
force Of a party to bear at the polls. Ma
pOleon said that victory belonged to the
army who had the most artillery, but vic
tory in political struggles belongs to that
party which has the most votes on the day
Of election. Ithas been proven that not all
of those who enjoy the GLORIOUS priv
ileges Of citizenship hasten always with
voluntary impulses to exercise the rights of
freemen, even in this glorious land Of the
free; and that persuasion, even, has often to
be used to induce the natural born freeman
to demand his birthright at the ballot box
| All organizations, whatever their character,
are, or at least should be, for mutual protec-
ton and advancement; and unless parties re-
sort to every expedient of such nature to
advance their interests they are in danger
of defeat. The history of parties is, that
the more the organization the better the
chances of success. No matter how sound
the principles, or honest the purposes of
political Organizations, or how acceptable
they may be to the masses, people will not
leave their homes on all occasions to attend
the polls unless they are placed under the
influence of organization. The value of
organizations has been shown in the history
of the Radical party. 1t has taken hold of an
ignorant mass in the State, and has made
of it a power to be feared. Every Radical
on the day of election will be found at the
polls ready to cast his vote for the nominees
of his party, and with proper organization
it can also be the case with Democrats.
Therefore let our organization be complete.
1t is complete so far as State, district,
county and precinct organizations are con-
cerned, but in every thickly populated dis
trict in the State there should be club or
CARNATIONS to assist in making the canvass
perfect success. They not only have
when perfectly organized control over i'm
mediate localities, but beneficial influence
is exertcd over adjacent communities, and |
spirit of active contest is thus engendered |
which leads on to ultimate success. A few
scoff at the idea of clubs being of any ma
terial service, but they are those who are
soured with the world, and care not how it
goes. Let US have every conceivable or
ganization in the State conducive to the
success of the party, and let every Demo
crat who can, enter such organizations and
do his individual part towards getting the
strength of the party to display itself on
the day of election. In this way we will
carry elections city and county-and in
December roll up vote for Coke, Hubbard
and the other other State nominees which
viii send Radicalism bowling from Texas.

fITwill be seen from the ticket at the head
Of our columns, and the proceedings Of the
Burnet Convention, that our candidates foF
the Legislature from this district are now
before the people. We epresent the array Of
names as one which is sure to carry strength
with It. DIR. Westfall was in the last Leg,
islature. and established in that body rep
utation for honesty and devotion TO
the interests of the State. which
none can question. We know him
to be true Democrat, a most worthy
gentleman, and a legislator who viii be
true to the trusts confded to him. Mr..
Samuel Easley, Of Williamson, gentleman
with whom we have no personal aequaint-
ance, is universally spoken of as a highly
accomplished and respectable gentleman.
Mr.. Easley is a farmer, and from what we
have heard of him viii make an
able representative Mr.. Felix Smith,
a farmer living in this county, is one Of our
most sterling men, and, together with a
sound mind and mature Judgment, possesses
all the quallncatlOns which insure a saIe leg
islator. He is beyond doubt one Of the
best representative men in the entire dis
trict, and above all possesses the confidence
Of the people. Last, bur by far not the
least, comes our most worthy and highly
respected townsman, Judge A. s. Walker.
His name is household word throughout
the twenty-eighth district, and carries with
it most powerful influence. Judge Walk
er justly stands at the head of his profes-
sion, is one of the best informed men in the
State, and would add to the credit of any
legislative body. For honesty and purity
Of purpose he has no superior, and the city
'f Austin may justly feel proud of its con-
.ribution to the ticket. We heartily en-
1orse the nominations.
