TIE GREAT EEscTYGN

to lie free State, unencumbered and
unnwed by selfish Nrants, upheld by
merccnaiy bayonets, will take place
two weeks from to-day, to wit: On
Tuei day, December 2, 1873.
Ii seems almost like offering an in
suit to the people of Texas TO urge upon
them the sacred duty of turning out
en- masse nj this election. How can "A
reasonable man, interested In the
common welfare, fail 20 do so ensy, so
plain, so imperative duty? The great
majority are alive to the magnitude OF
the issue, but aias n considerable
numhcr are not. The man who stub
bornly refuses 10 register and vote,
with the first fair opportunity he has
had In seven years, on the untenable
plea that he bad registered before,
once or oitcucr, aud after the ncces-
SHY has been explained SO many times,
lays himself open to have his motives
impugncd' by his best friends.
Registration this year is an absolute
necessity. Democrats do not believe
in it, but they cannot help it till the
constitution can Ge changed
Fellow Democrats, we iInplore you
to rise as one man, register ifyou have
not done so, and on Tuesday, Decem-
Der 2, vote the entire Democrutic
ticket.
After writing the above we received,
aad herewith publish the following
sound, sensible and earnest communi-
tion: .G..
NOW Is THE ACCEPTED TIME. Hj
10 the Editor Of the Dallas Herald:
Have all the voters Of Dallas county
registered? There is 10 doubt but all
the Radicals have, but | fear there are
Democrats who have not. Indeed, |
heard few days ago, y gentleman of
u high tone of morals, clear Judgment
and seemingly due appreciation for
the purity OF civil, moral and political
government, say 'he was not regis
tered.u This is all wrong. Let no llan
in Dallas county forget that NOW, of all
Others is the time to walk promptly and
Steadily in the path of duty to his
country, to himself and family, and
the welfare for the future of our State,
and present a solid and unbroken front
to the ballot-box, and vote for Judge
Coke for Governor and all other nom
ineps o. the Democracy, When hear
n good man Say he IL disguised With
politics, j cannot comprehend his
meaning. We may have become dis
gusted with political corruption and
dishonesty, but we must have political
governmdnt, and On The second Of
December next let all good men vote
and work for the publication of our
politics as well rs for morality and
sobyiety. 4etall the groceries in Dai-
Ins be closed that day (ss claimed by
law, d'vigilant watch be Kept by all
good men, and spot the man who may
attempt its violation, and the quiet,
purity and nobleness OF our election
viii be felt and appreciated. Let
the frowns Of indignation and the
piercing torIures OF GonteGpt from pli
good men rest 50 heavily upon the
political trickster and demagoguc, who
Seek to haul voters to the. poles along
with jugs of whisky, as to sink him
deep in the gulf Of oblivion or immure
him in a dark. cell Of or stnte Feni-
tentiary. Then, fellow citizens we
can have and we viii have political
and moral honesty, il we but do our
duty. Then, on the morning of the
election, the laundering strokes and
loud piercing voice of democracy will
he'heard, rising with the sun onthe
Sabine and waited swiftly its beams
10 the Rio GFanda, and the gentie ze-
pbyis from our coast wiilulow steadily
over tile quaeM ires OF KGdicalisns till
it Teaches the purified latitude Of J!',

west, when it viii Lurst upon and
sweep to obsourity and destruction Da-
Wis and his, followers, and fill with dis
may the midnight enpelayes Of Natipns

Big Tree may bestartled and fee from
our borders and cry aloud for protec-.
tion from Davis or Government
