Why the small vote on Tuesday,
Why did NO many Of you atny away
and refuse 10 join us IN an effort to re-
store free government and the rights
Of the pcoplc--ofyou and your families?
Yea, friends, why Is this?
hewrlter fthls knows no country but
Texas-no people but Texans. Yet he
IL panied, beyond langungc to express,
to think that Dallas county, which
could have given the largest Democrat
10 majority In the State, Is reduced to
fourth rank, by the refusal of our peo-
pie to turn out and vote.
In all ages and countries few men
seem to have been imbued with the
spirit of liberty-sometinies winning
sometimes losing-while the great
mass have only occasionally peer
aroused.
But now, fellOw-citizens, of Dallas
county, the election Is over, and on
motives cannot be impugned. NOW
while we have no interested motive u
mislead, do not be offended when We
say you have omitted high, patriotic
duty. We have in mind the glorious
language of Patrick Henry, and con
fess that we feel ashamed of the turn
out of Dallas county in the late glorl
GUS opportunity. Shame! oh! shame
Next time, do better.

AN ADDRESS TO THE NEWLY
ELECTED DEMOCRATIC OFFICERS
OF DALLAS COUNTY.

You, gentlemen, have been elected
by the votes of the best men of this
county. You are all protested Demo-
Gratis and have been elected by Demo-
cratic votes. We rejoice Mt your cleo
tion. In due time you will be sworn
into office. Not one of you would have
been elected had not a majority Of this
people believed you were honest and
capable.
For years the people of this State
have been ruled by base and corrupt
men. Being, aforetimc, "A people low
ing liberty and justice, they have
almost lost confidence in mankind.
Once so free, so hospitable and kind.
since, SO ovcr-run by the minions of
power and villainy-they are now sus-
picious even of friends. Terrible as is
this state Of public opinion, it is, never
fheless, true.
By dint of perseverance you are
elected as county officers. The friends
who have brought about your election,
have pledged their own regulations to
your purity and patriotism. Gentle
men, If you prove false the curses OF
the very men who elected you VIII rest
upon you. Instead OF doing WRONG, we
implore you to be honest, faithful, inn
partial-do the same equal justice to
Democrat and Radical.

THE day has come when the Demo-
Gratis arc about to control the destinies
of Texas, and now the colored people
will, for the firsttime, have an oppor-
tunity ofseeing how they have been
deceived and misled by the Radicals.
Under Democratic rule the colored
people will enjoy, in peace and secur-
ity, all their rights under the Federal
and State constitution and laws. They
will be protected in their fullest rights
as freemeD. and will have the right of
all other freemcn to vote as they please,
without the dread of anathemas or
assassination by loyal leagues. We do
not ask them to become Democrats;
but we sincerely believe their interests
would be promoted by their dividing
up into parties just as white men do.
By SO doing, they destroy the effect Of
caste prejudice, and win still further
the kindly regards of their white fell
low-citizeps. The Democrats of Texas
are not the enemies OF colofed men,
but, on the contrary, wish them we'll
and desire their welfare in the State.
I'VE say this in the hour of our tri-
umph, when our motives cannot be
impugned. Before the election it
would have been charged that we did
80 only to deceive.

THE GRAND RESULT IN DALLAS
COUNTY.


We are not enabled to give the fig
hrcs in regard to the election in This
county, but we thank the God of lib
.erty that we are enabled to state to
our readers and the public at large,
that the entire Democratic ticket of
Dallas county has been elected by a
round majority. The majority for the
State ticket is all, relatively, that We
could ask. But our cheeks Jingle
with shame and modification when
VIC record the smallness of the vote of
this glorious Democratic county.
Men of Dallas county, why is it that
a large portion of your number failed
to vote in this election? DO you ex-
pect by supinely remaining at your
homes and refusing to join the army
of liberty in voting, to perpetuatc your
rights and the rights ofyour children
to liberty in this sovereign State? Are
you willing to trust to others the guar
dianship Of your rights? God forbid
that one such cold hearted misan-
thrope should be a resident of this
county.
Nay, fcIlow-citizens of Dallas county,
only by our great majority over the
despots and tyrants of the last eight
years, are We Victorious to-day. III the
contest had been close, you non-voting
is,.,n,oorafq xv,,old have hapn rarovfled

THE sentence Of William NJ. Tweed

THE sentence of William NJ. Tweed,
in New York, is one ofthe brightest
spots in these days of corruption.
Tweed was a Senator and held various
high offices in New York. He was for
a time the most powerful man in that
great city, and hoated among million
aires as crowned thief, But he has
been found guilty OF official swindling
on fifty-one different counts and SEN
fenced to fne Of SIS, 800 and twelve
years Imprisonment. He is now In
prison on BIackwell's Island, his head
shaved and rugged in the striped suit of
that famous prison.
Honest men breathe easier and Off
cial plunderers trcmble in their boots.

much pride in realizing anew that

oughly Democratic. Had a reasonably
full vote been cast our county would

Is splendid, we have TO give the palm
