he discovered various p%refxes IN etc },

THAT uoLr BuoABoo AoALx


We deny, distinctly and unre-
'ervedly, that there is a single man
,r any combination Of men, in the
Constitutional Convention author
zed to speak in any sence for the
Order Of Patrons Of Husbandry in
Texas. We deny in toto, that there
is a single Granger, as such, on the
floor Of the Convention, and the
Order is in no sense responsible for
the actions of individuals belonging
to the Order, and filing political
positions there or elsewhere. There
are evidently some Grangers pres
ent who are decidedly more politi-
clans than Grangers, and the masses
of the Order will promptly repu-
diate any unseemly actions they
may have committed, or combina-
tons made involving the independ-
ence and manhood of the Order.
The old cry of "politics," "poli-
tics, is again heard, and the Tele-
graph is SO profoundly impressed
with the gravity of the charge made
by the Statesman as to declare, that
its "charges had to be met" A
broad, unmeaning and unseemly
Jest at the expense of the Grangers,
perpetrated on the floor of the Con
vention, and taken up bya a menda-
cious sheet, one bitterly waging a
relentless war upon the Democracy,
and hating Grangerism with all
the fervor of its limited power,
is thus made to do duty, as serious
charge duplicating the good faith
of the Order, and of the Democrat
ic party. With the declared pur-
poses of the respectable organiza-
ton, and the Statesman's latter his
tory before it, we cannot for the
life of us, see how our esteemed CO.
temporary could arrive at any such
conclusion, and 1t Is only when we
remember its nervousness some
months since on the subject of poll
tics as applied to the Grange, can
we find any clue to its weakness in
the present instance.
Look at the situation for mo-
ment only. While the Order of
Patrons is not, indeed, cannot be-
come political organization, yet it
is known that, in Texas its member
ship is composed almost entirely OF
Democrats. The Statesman in it,
warfare against Gov. Coke, has haf
to array itself against the sole
, masses of the party, and well un
derstanding the situation with re
gard to the private and persona
feelings of the Grange, together
+, with the political sentiments of tn
members, it has neglected no or
portunity to impugn their motive
or to fasten the charge of politica
trickery upon them, the Telegrap
must certainly have known all thi
n and how it can now array itself j
h a quasi support even, of the sens
.s less position of the Statesman, pas
,. es our poor understanding.
"a Cannot Mr.. johnson, of Coli
"A Gen. Whitfield, Gen. Ross, Mr. Re

St Now, we know the Telegraph
