The idea Of tho Radical party trying to
control the Irish and German vote OF Texas,
OF any other foreigners, while in keeping
with their shame-facedncss, is snperlativcly
ridiculous. Think Of an Irish Radical As
we'll might VIC imagine q COW with bcofs
ike a horse. The Irishman, If true 20 his
birth and inherited instincts, is as certain
TO be = friend Of liberty as the newly
Matched alligator strikes at once for the
nearest water.
No, the truc-hearted German, Dane, Nor
wcgian, Swede or other sons Of Europe.
They come to America 10 enjoy liberty, to
be ON an even footing with other men ia
the enjoyment Of right. justice, education
and all the other blessings Of free govern
ment II possessed Of tho intelligence
common to their countTymen, they instinctly
realize that American Radicalsm Is a cheat
and a sham, and they speedily learn, If not
already posted. that from the foundation Of
the government. the great Democratic
party, founded by jefferson IN 1900, has
ever been the friend. patron, protector and
defender Of equal rights and Of foreign en-
igrafion 10 this country. The mercenary
leaders Of Radicalism in Texas may mislead
the poor. ignorant negroes. but they cannot
deceive the intelligent gorcign-bon citizrns.
