POLITICS IN TEXAS.
rSnee;al CarreauAndance /
HousroN, Texas, Sept. 10

Houston, Texas, Sept. 10.
Mr., EDITOR Politics in Texas
are interesting just now, as the State
is now in the midst of an exciting
Congressional campaign. The Dem>
ocratic party have held conventions
in the various Districts and put forth
the following nominations. In the
first district Hon. John ii. Reagan,
Postmaster General of the Confeder-
ate States during the war. In the
second Col. David B. Culberson of
Marion county. In the third Ex-
Gov. j w. Throckmorton was the
unanimous choice. la the fourth
Hon. Roger G. Mills, present repre-
sentative. In the fifth Hon. John
Hancock, present incumbent, after
a bitter contest with Giddings and
Shepherd, was chosen. And in the
sixth district compromise was
made on the Hon. Gustave Schlei>
cher. Maj. John t. Breckenridge
of Calhoun, being the prominent as
pirant.
The Republican party have as yet
put forth no nominations, but there
is a convention in Waco to>day to
take action in the interest of the
party.
Texas enterprise is hard to beat.
A scheme is on foot here now to en-
courage immigration by the distri>
button of Sl46, 900 in gold, houses
and lands in various parts of the
State. Seventy three thousand tick
cts are issued and are being sold at
So. The enterprise Is endorsed by
the Mayor and council of the city.
The manager, ]. Il. Foster, has the
confidence of the entire community.
Il. w. House, the wealthy Texas
banker, is Treasurer. Those con-
templating moving to Texas should
BY all means apply TO the manager,
Gel. Foster, for circulars, maps, and
pamphlets descriptive of Texas. |
will state here in answer to numer-
GUS enquiries from abroad that the
above enterprise is in no way con-
nected with the Wagley 4 LOckhart
distribution Of this city or with any
other. OCCASIONAL

1t is expected that the conference
committee will arrive at some ami>
cable understanding relative to reg
istration for the approaching cleo
ton. The Democrats complain that
the law gives to the registrars too
much power and dictation concerning
the time and place, and registration
of votes and That they can even
reject the vote entirely, without Civ
ing any reasons for so doing. The
principal objection is that two citi
zens are required to identify the
voter.
The Kellogg party proffer a de-
sire to grant anything, but believe
that the election law is as good as
that of any State of the Union
The committee will probably con.
clude their labors to-day, and it is
expected the result will be that the

selves to prevent public disorder

clouds their minds. ruins their dispositions, and

hatred OF self as well as feeling that everybody

mated candidate and | belong to the
Methodist church, yet ! told Or.
FELTON, that he would be turned out
of the church before this campaign
was over for misrepresentation. He
spoke of the radical oppression Of
Louisiana, Mississippi, and South
Carolina, and appealed to the people
in the name Of liberty to stand true
to their colors. Ifhe was defeated
in this contest, he would go down to
his political grave wrapped in the
glorious flag of democracy, a shroud
good enough for any man.
Mr.. Trammell spoke at length and
the above is very imperfect sym
opsis of his speech. His defense of
bis character was well presented,
clear and forcible, and he was fire.
quently appIauded during it's deliv-
cry.
GOVERNOR SMITH
responded by saying that he did not
come here to advocate tho claims
Of any candidate, that it would be a
breach Of official dignity /; he was no
partizan, and didn't come to ply the
party lash, for he believed the people
Of Cobb county competent to settle
their own differences. He gave
history of the radical party, their
leaders, the reconstruction measures
and lastly the Civil Rights Bill, the
browning infamy of hate, which
was not put forth through love for
the negro, but to humiliate and de-
grade the Southern people that it
conferred no more rights upon the
negro than he now enjoyed. The
negro was an element Of political
excitement, and were the tools and
slaves of Northern carpet>baggers
and adventures, who robbed them
ia the Freedmen's Savings Bank
and stole in official capacity and
made out they were great friends to
the negro only to get their votes and
steal from them, while they poisoned
the negro's mind against the South
ern people. He spoke of the Louis
lana troubles, and said we could ac-
complish nothing by aresort to arms
and that our only hope was in the
baIlot-b box. He couns,led modera-
ton, peaceful and intelligent action,
and not to heed those who would in
cite the people to imprudent and
wrong doing, but be patient, nurse
our strength and when we become
mighty, then we would be respect
ed. lie urged unity and harmony,
and concluded amid great applause.

Change"

The weakest of all newspapers in
these parts announces more "change."
Change is the law of its dilapidated
being. Without change it would die.
The trouble with it is that it never
changes for the better, but always for
the worse. 1t would take a capable
editor and journalist five years to re-
store it to a decent respect among in
telligent men of its own party. 1t is
a fact universally conceded that the
Omaha Republican is the least read or
respected of any newspaper ever
printed in this State, not except
ing the Fort Kearney Central star.
When it recently removed Ben Bar
rows from the editorial department of
the paper, it of course removed all
the writing ability of the concern.
The substitute is an average effort,
and he will do it his way. For activ-
ity and tlatness he is an improve
ment on his predecessor. Mr.. Bar,
rows will hold on to the Treasury"
Although not a muscular man, that
gentleman will not be likely to find
this sort of holding a very heavy
strain upon his physical powers.
The chameleon does not change its
color Oftener than the Omaha Repub-
Hcan does its management, and as a
sickly excuse for a newspaper, this
part of the country never saw its
equal.-Hcrdld.
