The Davis Administration nv II is.
No the Editor OF tho Dallas Herald
The State OF Texas has been, under
the Darts administration, the humil-
iatcd victim Of fragrant usurpatlons OF
power eliminating in anarchial de-
morallxation unprecedented, and WIN
out any palllation whatever, It's chief
dcyotees should blush for its crimes
and hermitlac themselves from the
faces Of men.
The wise will not hesitate IN instant
M 10 what course to pursue, when a
mailman throws the torch to his dwell
Ing, or q lion springs In his pathway.
Should patriots hesitate, then, when
the goddess Of liberty Is being des-
poiled by ruthless treachery and despo-
tism?
The Davis Administration cannot
plead In bar to the numbcrless indict-
ments against II for its enormous villai-
nics,( from petit larceny to high trea-
sony, that its chief Is an in,beciie, ira
tionoi, or surrunded by cell odcisors
We admit all these charges to be true,
and that the half has not been told,
aud therefore urge, with more unyicld-
ing pcrninacity, the necessity of a
speedy radiance Of this inflated and
mythical monster.
REWRITING tothe hour Of its inaugu-
ration, If Its heart is not callous with
intidelity, or Its conscience stiiled with
atrocities, how its check must tinglc
with shame, when 1t realizes that OF
all the glowing promises which 1t
madeto the people the most trivial of
them have not been fulfilled. ere
morse! Remose y groans the dying
criminal as the damning vision of a
mis-spent life fits through the crazed
brain. ''poriidy! Perfdyv with u
mournhil dependency, sounds from
the death-rattle In the throat of the
Davis administration to-day, automatic
Of the eternal fitness or things, the
ultimate triumph Of justice over
wrong and oppression.
Coming into power wearing the cor
onet Of q prestige that surpassed even
solomon mall his glory, It needed but
TO administer the law with wisdom,
justice and mercy to have pluckcd the
sting ofdeath from the hottest heart,
and established itself in the affections
Of the people for oil time to come,
1t was supported by many of the
dearest minds In the State. 1t was
honored, for time, by the confidence
of the purest characters that could b.
found in the land. Counsellors who
drew their inspiration from the pellucis
fountains Of ancient and modern juris
prudence, Were votaries In the grea
army Of progress. A grateful peopl,
reposed their hopes and Graded thei
dreams Of new millennium Of peac,
and happiness In the solemnity of tn,
covenants made by the vampires o
this virulent conclave. Under thes,
favorable auspices, the fioodgates 0
immigration Were opened, and from
every land the energies and muscle o
