Ex-GOvrnSon DAvn.-In this issue win
be found the address Of Ex- Governor Davis
upon accepting the ehairmanship Of the Re
publican Executive Committee. The speech
is too mild in sentiment for the man who 90
lately attempted to dethrone liberty in
Texas. II is either the cunning Of wolf
IN sleeps clothing, or the inspiration Of one
who has been regenerated through adver-
sity. Il is to be hoped, however, that Mr..
Daus's speech displays the honest temper
Of the Republican party in Texas.

Such is the title page Of an admirable

terror i'city's % Of Georgetown, Texas.
The value Of the pamphlet, its excellence

Is done in Georgetown, By Georgetown edi-

lication as creditabIe to Texan printers Is
to Texan editors.

FARMS AND CROPS AND. IMmI-
CHANTS,


If people in Eastern or Southern States
doubt the attractiyeness, of Texas, they
should o1send delegations to inspect the
sEaITs u al1stnn tn. he
corn and cotton have rarely been more full
of promise Level, rich plains, decked,
wherever uncultivated, with countless
flowers and carpeted with fichest verdure,
tell story to farming populations which
local selfshness contradicts in vain. To deny
the supreme attractiveness of Western and
Central and Southern Texas would be as
absurd as the denial of Mr. DaTis's asser-
tor of the unparalleled attraetiveness, of
Austin-of its m6untains river andplains.
But when wessadd the fact that recent
hygienie statistics complied at Washington
will make life assurance teu or twenty per
cent. cheaper in this portion Of Texas than
elsewhere in the United States, thereean be
no further questioning Of the truthfuIness
of those who claim for Austin and the cir
cumjacent country pre-eminent beauty, un-
surpassed productiveness and unequaled
healthfulness, We only await the compile
tion of the International road, giving US q
choice of routes to the exterior world, and
Austin becomes the choicest city, in the
midst of the choicest agricultural and most
healthful and beautiful country on the globe.
Let the people only prove true to them
selves, to the State and tofts capital and tc
other cities by protecting themselves in or
ganic law against ravages Of Ignorance and
vice injected, into ballot boxes, and Texas
viii not only absorb speedily, but surely the
best, most intelligent and industrious pop
ulations of older States. IgE1if

c In was thoaghs st2 2Hempstead that Gov
ern0r DGvis,s silence on the FIRST dayof the
meeting was caused by Congressman Kelly's
recent speeehes,I which, with declarations
of one Jefferson DsEis, have caused an en-
tire suspension Of the profitable operations
of the outrage mill in Texas Our late
lGOvernor was also undecided as TO the
proper course for his party. Heeven doubts
whether he can cooperate effectively with
Judge Ireland and succeed in making the
people act as Partisans rather than as
patriots in selecting delegates to the con-
stitutlonal convention. But Davis admires
Ireland, andswill Sprobably do all in his
power to promote the aims of party leaders.
Davis doesn't want his little black party to
fall in pieces. In such event he viii have
lost all power and be shOrn even Of re-
spectability, and NE are inclined to believe
that he viii declare foF opposition TO the
constitutional conventions and eternal war
against Ireland, and thus will Ireland be
made happy and prospects for the supre-
macy of pattisanship, rather than Of states
nanship in the creation Of the organic law
Of Texas, win be brighter than ever before.
