articles ia InE DALLAS HERALD, lilil
the people here have been utterly mis-
construed, Their political nenllmenlsl
never very keen, have been entirely
overwhelmed by considerations Of ma
terial progress, la aa few years the

Ing concentrated upon politics, were 10
keep the trade They had gained, and
10 increase II ~ fast ~ possible, AZ,
moreover, the majority of new corners
were from the northern states the Merry
Onslaughts OF l'HE HERALD were de-
eldedly unpopular When, therefore,
the editor solemnly advised the clll'
zrna to check all Immigrants, except
from the southern states, he brought
the matter 10 q climax, lie was de-
posed, aud the edll0rshlp conlided to

First, "Garn Is mistaken, or mlsln-
formed, when no asserts that the ma
lOrity of the new corners were from
the northern states, aud attrlbutlng the
seyering Of the connection Of the late
editor 10 his "llery onsloughts' In the
HERALD. This statement II incorrect

Justice, Ills leaving the editorial chair
Of the HERALD was not Tho result Of
any "nery 0nsluughs,n He N law

that any articles ever appeared In the

of any public feeling which demanded
II IL nbsurdly erroneous, and has no
foundation, in fact, And as "Gar,"
while here, seemed 10 he anxious to

into even an unintentonal perversion
OF the condition Of public sentiment
here, and of II having seen the cause OF

files of the HERALD reveal no "fiery
onslaught" on the subject Of northern
immigration.
Second-Onoe for all, the HERALD
protests against Misrepresentation in
territorial or unintentional. 1t has al.
ways been, and IL will continue to be

are ready to scalp northern men COM

ern man is welcome in Texas. The
war Is over here. When next il sends

he will not get hold of one idea, and
attribute everything which happens to
that idea particularly when it is u mis-
