HIS RAsENEss REQUIRES TT.
The Austin Ring as usual, have under
taken TO manipulate the Democracy of this
county. We propose to give them a vide
berth and TO pOise free lance IN the can
vass. The Radicals who are figuring with
them are not altogether. the best selection
they could have made, nor are they alto
getheT qualified TO give law TO the true and
honest Democracy of the country. Judge
Walker, nor no other member of the ring,
can be thrust upon the true Democracy of
this district as their standard bearer in this
coming eanYass. We want good and true
men for Office, and those who cannot be
manipulated for carrying out the plans of
shysters and treasury grabs, and expect to
find them IN spite of the hOwls and schemes
of the ehicken-pie tricksters. State Gazette.
We give the above extract that Democrats
may generally see and beware Of the char
acteF they deal with, while such man as
]. d. Elliott is permitted to associate with
them politically. BY almost all he is well
understood, but we warn those who have
not the means of understanding him
that his object is to lead them into the
camp of the Davis Radicals. His league is
made with them Just as sure as they have
made league with Satan for our destrtlc-
ton. Watch his paper and the. Journal,
that. of the Davis clique.i Whatever
one plays upon, no matter what the
tone of the falsehood, it finds an
immediate vibration through the. other.
Elliott is sold, body and soul, to the Radi-
Gals, but thinking to have more effect, his
duties are assigned him inside the Demo
CRITIC party. We say it, and we say it en-
phatically, that such aman should long since
have been kicked out of the party he dis
graces His combination With Newcomb to
secure the public printing for the last Leg
islature is notorious fact, and he has un-
doubtedly worked with Davis and his party
for nearly two years.. .2.iif ',-.5 b.-''--
The Journal now makes an attack upon
the gentlemen selected in the primary meet
ings for county officers. After they have
been recommended almost unanimously
from every precinct in the county, and
Everybody except the Radicals is satisfied
ut the selection of good and competent
mon, the Journal makes an attack upon
them, and Elliott yelps crrrrish repetition.
After Judge A, S. Walker has been selected
by the Democracy of Texas to. serve as
chairman of the Democratic State Executive
committee, and has been urged time and
again for the highest position in the State,
by the unadulterated Democracy of Viii
hanson, Burnet, Llano, San Saba and all
that section, where Radicals are a wonder
now, since this same worthy, high
minded, pure, and unswerying Democrat
has been again brought forward by the peo-
pie of that section for their State Senator,
1 by those who have known him for long
years only to love him. this same. Radical
pap-sucker, Elliott, who elicits the scorn
and contempt Of all pure men, insists that
Judge Walker is unreliable and not fit.to be
trusted. For this we refer him to the ten
der mereies of the numerous Democratic
| friends Of Judge Walker throughout this
Senatorial district, and to every honest man
who personally knows him in the State. =.
Again, in another issue of the Gaeetts We
find the following: IL IL l..a..a49 .ssE.

\ toned, since the action Of the precinct
/ meeting Of Austin, that there is a veritablt
Austin ring seeking to control the affairs o.
the. county for their own number. A reso.
| luton was adopted for the election of dele
gates by ballot, to the county convention,
/ but on the heel Of this a resolution was
adopted referring their appointment to .
! committee of FIVE who returned and re
/ ported three or four of their own number as
/ delegates. If THE authors of a treasury

/ politics of Texas, the State will be in 8
worse condition than despoiled Louisiana,
for there is no protection whatever from {
general robbery of the people, F"
! The nominations for delegates were com
menced, not by ballet, but by yeas and
nays, and after two names had been pre-
sented to the convention, and it was dis
| covered that this. mode would occupy toe
much time, a resolution was presented tc
j appoint the committee referred to toexpeditC
matters, and in the.mean time the conven

When the committee reported names fol
delegates, among whom were the two al
ready suggested, they were unanin ously ac
cepted, and not murmur raised against
the action of the committee, Every one
/ too, was satisfied with the general action o.
the convention, and it proved only a true
reflection Of the sentiment which prevailed
at all the other precinct meetings in the
county. AS to the falsehoOd about the com
plexion of the committee, itwas composed
Of three gentlemen from the country and
two from the city, and though the action O
the committee may not have suited tn,
