10 the Editor OF The Dallas Herald;
The Radical State Convention, which
met in Dallas on the 10th Of August,
has put forth platform Us full OF d
celt as has been the conduct of some OF
its principal members IN their tymam-
cal outragcs and expressions of thepeo
pie of Texas for the last four years.
Some of their high-sounding expires
prcssi6ns and promises remind sensi-
bic mel, OF that memorable action or
Satan when he tempted the savior, II
is only necessary for the long-outragcd
people of this State to know who wore
its master spirits to sec ut once that
none Of its works, pledges or decmm-
tons will do for the people of Texas,
Let US look ut the array:
or the Radical State officers there
were present, Davis, tho Governor
Newcomb, Secretary Of State kIech-
Ter, Commissioner Of the Land Oillne;
Alexander, Attorney General; DeGress,
the delightful and winsome Superln-
tendent Of Public Education; Brltton,
Admtant General and late Chief OF
Police Malloy, Superintendent OF the
Penitentiary, late General of the negro
militia, who robbed the people Of
Limestone under Davis martial law;
Glenn Chambers, State Geologist; II
District Judge, now under impeacll-
ment by the Legislature; Andrews,
another District Judge; McAdoo, dittoi
Borden, another Judge under charges
of malfeasance in office; Oliver the eX-
Judge and sanity person who 50 long
lordcd il over Limestone and other
counties, aud whose biography would
form n fitting sequel to a book entitled,
Lives of Atrocious Judges J IN Eng
land;n how many more or DAVIS
charming Judges we do not know.
Then comes Ruby, colored senator
from Galveston; Randall, Baker, Row
son, Saylor, Tendlck, white Radical
Senators. Senator Matt. Games, absent
by an engagement in the peaitentlary
Colored Representative Washington,
(yaller) Rol eits, Moore, Phelps, Ailtn,
Anderson, and 50 ON, all pure in color
Then two late candidates for District
Judge, unanimously rejected by the
Senate, Bob 'faylorand Lovejoy. Then
host of lesser lights, and hangers-on
as ex-oilicers and employees OF the Rad
zeal Legislatuie-too small 10 name In
document in which such iiustfious
names rs Oliver and Matt. Gaines
occur. United States Officers in abund-
ance, ms United States Attorneys, Gus
tomhousc officers, postmasters, secret
service men, etc., etc., too numerous to
mention. Railroad lobbyists pretty
well represented.
Then follows q fine array of fuglc-
men, false accusers zone old one from
Tarrantl, prosecutors, ballot suffers
Hill county for instancel, and such Il
general d splay of the descendants OF
Ham (bcst average element in the con
cern) as to form an asseniblage never
to be forgotten by the good people of
Dallas, who drank in the scene in all
It's multitudinous and varicgated love
Illness. There were, truly, gentlemen
In the crowd; for instance, Judge S,i-
bin and Others. Ii is also true some
seemed Ill at ease, as Senators SaylOr,
Randall, and Others. The Fianagans
We're away; 50 was the princely DIR. Il.
X. Smith, the man whose modesty has
30 long kept his name out of the news
papers, and that other Smith, of Bren-
ham fame, the cashiercd officer of the
United Ssates army. The absence OF the
two Smiths. Only think oft! Had they
been present virtue would at least have
had an abiding place at PUTS garden
But perhaps it had anyhow, as the
man of Bir,iville was there a little
lcaven has great weight. Whether
Sergeant Lufkin was on hand we can't
say. A great void was made by the
absence OF little Clark, who held Gid
dings' seat so long, and the scarlet
haired Ochiltree.
The darlSics were delighted at their
success, Six candidates nominated
and nary darLey on the ticket.
| Harry Moore, an honest old black man
| from Marshall, said he s'didn't like the
smell Of that loaf--de butter and dc
crust was all on one side--worsc dan
4 slave times. Turkey 10 de white RAD
icals, buzzard to do nigger---de old
story!r That ticket will wake up and
Imi'e Democrats In every nook aud
corner of Texas. Pc
