The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-12-23

PRESIDENT GRANT Is forced to confess
the necessity for the restriction of suffrage
to Intelligence; but the six hundred thou
sand negro voters, who would be reduced
in number to, fifty thousand by Grants
scheme of reform, must still reign In broad
districts till 1890 Such is the Presidents
proposition. He cannot spare them as bis
servitors in the; presidential, election of next
year. He would have Sambo and. the
Northern Methodist Church yoked together
to the triumphal car of his reelection.
Here in Texas, where Grant has never ap
peared, WHARF the evils of universal suffrage
become, as in Mississippi, intolerable, the
people, except the branded Rutsbagas, will
await most impatiently the coming of 1890
Perhaps Grant was induced by the folly Of
the trainers of the new Constitution in
Texas to suggest the postponement of re-
form hourly becoming more and more in
idispensable to the value of homes and to
the security of life and property. There
was no degree of violence or force or bri-
berry or bravado that was not proper in
wrestling Mississippi from the clutches OF
remorseless villains invested with Office by
the same stupid knavery that fills ballot.
boxes in one third OF. the couhties of Texas.
Grants message properly adverts to this
subject, and, by proposing 9 remedy, con-
fesses the enormities done by Rutabaga
universal suffrage. -t..E Is -.ftf -s9-

PECULIARITIES OF THE NEW con-
STITUTI6N.--

rss I Z. ID. . .- &C.
The cost of maintenance of the judiciary
system instituted by the new. Constitution
falls mainly upon the estates of decedents.
Orphans and widows will feel its wrongs
most keenly in this world, and they are not
born branded as voters, and decedents
are dead and can't we'll vote. and the living
and the penniless, and those who expect to
die in this blissful condition, can well af
ford to vote for the new Constitution. The
chances for its adoption are thus eminently
pleasing Then, too, it was made by men
ssnt hither to suppress rings and robbery in
government, and yet it makes the acquisl-
ton of an empire by Tom Scott, to be APP
piled to st. Louis and. Philadelphia road,
depend upon the acceptance by the people
of the new Constitution. Judge Ballinger
asked for the practice of fairness and hon
esty, and that the people be suffered to vote
for and against the acceptance of a form of
government free from extraneous influences; !;
but this simple, concession to common hon.
esty was denied to fairness. and forty-five
hundred offices are created and offered as
n
bribes for votes in favor of the blessed Con-
stitution. If the Constitution be not adopted
the eager candidates can gobble neither
spoils nor honors. Therefore, the STATES
NAN said that-the new Constitution prof
fered premiuRls for corruption, and that
good, paper, the Comanche Chisf, Gays it
is good time for the STATESMAN to sell out.
We are not inside the ring. Tom Scott
would gladly destroy, but would never buy,
the 6rATEssGAN. BE is the only holder OF
mighty corruption fund. 1t was given by
the Rutabagas that their miserable code
might beapproEed, and since no attaehe of
the STATESMAN lcontemplates the acquisi-
tion of one pf the forty-fve hundred Offices,
sinecuresI and perquisite-pocketing incl
dents of the new Constitution, it does not
seem very clear how We are to be vietinized
by the Rutabaga concern. Perhaps the
Ckie5s knows how. it is itself.

their policy won the victory over Radical
ism in Mississippi. On the contrary, as the
Shreveport Times properly states, the con-
test was conducted in direct opposition
to the advice given in the convention by
MIR. Lamar. In the counties where his pro-
gramme was carried out the Radicals were
Overwhelmingly triumphant. Colonel La
mar made tremendous speech in the con-
ventioA against the white line, and advised
policy in pursuing which the whites OF
louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi have
time and again been defeated. The press
of the State, however, was stronger than
he, and in most counties the eentest
was made on the race issue and those coun-
ties won the State. In Adams, Wilkinson,
and other counties where Mr.. Lanar's plat
form was adopted, the Radicals and ne
groes swept the field. The truth is that if
the people of Mississippi had generally
scted on Mr.. Lamar's advice, Mississippi
would to-day be still in the hands of her
oppressOrs and plunderers.

Wilson was made Vice President he had
not money enough to paJ the cost of his

A FOUNDLING HOSPITAL FOR DIRTY
LINGS OF hU,PABAGAISM.

The ''organ" says that Northern Texas is
the ''Gibraltar of Texas Democracy" and
it is this Gibraltar that frowns, across mar
now straits, upon Africa further south and
consigns, through Rutabagaism injected in
to the new Constitution, the southern third
of Texas to African domination. 1t is in
this that Democracy is traitorous to itself,
committing an unpardenable crime. 1t is
unwise and alike unjust. IT is, too, rob
berry and wrong, and the subjeetiono of intelli-
gence to- ignorance, of whites to blacks,
and for this reason we abhof Rutabagaism
as distinguished from Grangerism. The
foul deed was done by an alliance between
blacks. and whites. And now come the
candidates for -four thousand six hundred
offices, and their friends, asking US to APP
prove the outrage injected into the very
system of government itself which Texas
must adopt. We, can have no part in the
perpetration of such an enormity. Grant
himself, elected by negroes, and, >, if re-
elected, it must lie because the negro de-
mands it-even GRANT is compelled in his
recent message to inyeigh against wrongs,
follies and rCbberies incident to unrestricted
suffrage. But Rutabagaism, seeing and feel
ing Land seeing towns and counties rendered
unlnhahitable, pledges itself to- Radicalism
in the Constitutional Convention, and pre-,
sents the unhallowed products of the shame
full naesallianee that the people of Texas
may fondle and embrace. 1t sticks in the
nostrils of deeency and full of putndity
and ugly ulcers, should silently rot in q
founding hospital, reared as depository
for dirty bantlings of demagogism in legis
lation. .-.- ... ..-..,...-a ....rt -t.Is ...

s Hon. John Ireland. We are informed, does
not wish TO sit upon the Supreme bench.
BE would not perhaps, be pleased to con-
strue the law under restrictions and forms

doesn't admire the proposed new machinery
Of government, and if he would only tell
the simple truth, that Gov. Coke ana the
Democracy will enforce none Of the crude
or criminal provisions Of the Dayis-Rager,-
Candy Constitution, we may escape the alb
surdities Of the rstragressive,b ruinous or
gAnic code now proposed 70 be adopted.
