Act on the Defensive.

Persons who are subjected to the influences
of bad air and unwhosome water, to con-
slant exposure out of doors and sudden
changes of weather, should act on the de.
fensive by imparting to their constitutions
the power Of resisting such influences. The
fortifying effects upon the system of Hostel
ter's stomach Bitters are simply amazing.
Thousands who use them as II preventative
of ma aria enjoy an absolute immunity
from its attacks. although dwelling in re.
glons where that scourge is most prevalent.
Artizans and laborers whose occupations
keep them In the open air, find the Bitters a
complete safeguard against the effects of ex-
posture. Travellers testify that they counter
act the influences of torrid heat, intense
cold, and miasmatic air. Free from every
Objectionable feature, pure, understanding
containing only vegetable ingredients, an
agreeable stimulant, II wholesome tonic and
corrective, and sovereign protective, 1t IL
not surprising that the Btters should be the
most popular of American remedies.

The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-10-06

AN effort was made In Fort Worth
last week to get up an opposition can
ddate to Governor Throckmorton. A
few Of the citizens of that place met on
Wednesday evening, and organized 10y
electing j. ID. Ray, president, and w.
ID. Milliken, secretary. The following
resolutions contain the action Of the
meeting
Resolved, That tho so-caled demo
cratic nominating convention, held in
this city, July 20, 1874, that nominated
j. w. Throckmorton for congress, did
not In any way represent the wishes of
the people or feelings of the voters of
this congressional district.
Resolved, That the manner in which
the vote Of this county was cast for
said nominee was undemocratic and
not binding upon the voters of this
county.
Resolved, That we call upon Colonel
II. Il. Beckham to allow us to present
his name to the voters of this congress
sional district for their support in the
forthcoming election.
Resolved, That in Colonel Beckham
we recognize the true gentleman, the
ripe scholar, the able statesman, and
In whom every interest of the people Of
this district and state may be safely
trusted.
Resolved, That the chair appoint u
committee of three to wait upon Colo
onel Beckham and present him with a
copy of these resolutions aud obtain
his reply to the request therein con-
tanned.
The chair appointed Colonel Over
ton, DIR. Il. M. Ewing and David Boaz
as said committee.
The committe having notified Colo
mel Beckham of the honor sought to be
thrust upon him, he, in reply, begged
leave, very respectfully, to be excused.
He assigned several reasons for his de-
clinature, among them the following:
/ am satisfied that Governor Throck-
morton, with his popularity and his
prestige as the nominee of u conven-
ton purporting to represent the de-
mocracy of this district, would carry
the same against any man In the dis
trict, and an effort on my part, with
my limited acquaintance, would be
futile.
The Fort Worth Standard having
announced the call upon Colonel Beck
ham to become candidate, under the
stunning caption of "Grangers to the
Front" w. B.Tucker, master of grange
No. 7, addressed the following commu-
nication to the Democrat, repudiating
the whole movementon the part of the
patrons of husbandry:
FORT WORTH, Texas, October 2. 1874,
To the Editor of the Democrat
We notice call made In the Stand
art of the LIST instant on X. T.. Beck
ham to become a candidate for con-
gress, headed "Grangers to the Front. y
We wish IL distinctly understood that
the patrons of husbandry has had
nothing to do with the above named
call, and that the same ~ without au-
thority from them. Ours Is not po-
litical organization.
We understand that about dozen
men metin the office ofD. Boaz, where
the so-called mass meeting was held
on Wednesday night last which con-
stituted the said mass meeting. The
public was not aware Of the meeting.
j. ID. Ray, the chairman of said meet
ing, repudiates the caption, "Grangers
to the Front"
