Closing Exercises of Terrell Institute

TO the Editor of The Dallas Herald
The examination of the Terrell
Institute on the 18th of June. at
tracLed a crowded house. 1t was
considered by observers Il decided
success. 1t was gratifying to wit
ness so large Il gathering composed
in good degree of parents who
thus manifested their interest in
the progress Of their children in
their studies. 1t would be well il
parents would more generally at,
tend examinations. Their presence
is encouraging to teachers and
ulating to pupils. All parties
need the encouragement derived
from the presence of parents on such
occasions.
The examination was conducted
by the Principal, Rev. Mr.. Port
mess, in person. 1t was thorough,
impartial and satisfactory, consider
ing the disadvantages under which
II teacher necessarily labors during
the first year Of his teaching in a
community It was quite satistac-
tory. The prompt and accurate
responses Of the students to the
questions propounded evinced Il
thorough knowlcde Of the branches
upon which they were examined.
At the close of the examination
Rev. Mr.. Portmess invited Mr..
James Burke, of Houston, to ad-
dress the audience, to which that
gentleman briefly responded, urg
ing tho importance of seminaries of
learning as auxiliary in building up
towns. He mentioned as instances
of this kind, Denison, Waco, George
town and Tehuacana, all of which
had been greatly aided hy tho liter
AIRY institutions located in their
midst.
Rev Mr., Portmess is y minister
ofthe Episcopal Church, thoroughly
educated--is engaged in teaching
as business for lie. He eminent
ly deserves support. Terrell has
been fortunate in his acquisition.

The finance split between the
Democracy ofsOme Of the States is
attracting general attention, and
probably the most sensible means
yet proposed for the bridging of the
chasm is that of the Reading Eagle,
which advocates 81 thing the finance
question in the way that of the tar
lift was disposed of in 1872, by re-
manding IL to the several Congress
sional districts. "By following this
pIan," says the Eagle, "we come
right down to the people, ard each
Congressman, therefore, upon all
questions of a business character, is
free 10 vote just as he likes, keeping
strictly in view the wishes OF his
immediate constituents and being
controlled only by such considera-
tons as may, in bis Judgment, be
best for the public interests. There
is no doubt but that the country, in
a business way is pretty sick pa
uent, and yet every one of any ex-
perience in business knows that one
of the best specifics to be applied in
individual cases of a similar cl,arac-

income, cut down the expenses, live

To the candidate in Tarrant there

he is the nominee; let every Demo-
crat in Dallas county vote for him.
On the same hypothesis, bad the

DALLAS, TEX AS.
SATURDAY MORNING ::::: JULY B..
TIE NOMINATING CONVENTION
CNNDEMNED.

There can no longer be the shad-
ow of doubt that the great mass
of the Democrats Of Dallas county
are opposed to nominating cand'-
dates for the Constitutional Convcn-
ton. The subject has been agitat.
ed and discussed for three months,
and now, after ten days notice pub
lishcd in all the papers Of the coun'
w, look at the result of the precinct
meetings last Saturday. In Pre-
cnct No. ! at the court house, where
there are twelve hundred and TWEEN
ty registered voters, only forty per
sons took part, being one to every
thirty and half voters, and Il ma
iority OF them were opposed to any
nomination.
In Precinct No. 3, Mt Lisbon,
where there are one hundred and
scventy-siX registered voters, only
fourteen, or one to every twelve
and Il half voters met, and being
unanimously opposed to any nomi-
nations themselves, and not know
ing Il single man in the precinct who
favored it, they unanimousl y re.
solved to take no part nor hand
in it.
IN Precinct No. 4, about twenty
voters we're in attendance, and dele
gates were appointed, who were in
structed to vote against n nomina-
ton.
IN Precinct No. 6, at Shields ware
house, out of two hundred and sixty
eight registered voters, only thir-
teen met, being one for every TWEEN
iy-one. They appointed delegates,
but the reporter learns that not one
ofthem are favorable to IL nomina-
tion, without Il fair expression from
the people.
In precinct No. 7, at the
Buckhorn corner, ont Of six hun
drcd and fifty two registered voters,
only fifteen, or one to every forty
three met. They appointed dele
gates, but instructed them to OPP
pose any nomination.
IN Precinct Nc. 8, at Ioung's
wal eh0use, out of five hundred and
thirty seven registered voters, on y
twenty, or one in twenty-seven met.
They appointed delegates who are
generally believed to be opposed to
final action by such handful.
In Precinct No. 5, at Scyene, the
number is not reported. They APP
pointed delegates instructed to op.
pose any nomination.
Even from Lancaster, where il
has been paraded that the people
were unit for nominations, it
seems that at least half of them say
nay. Half the delegates are OPP
posed to such course.
Cedar Hill and Five Mile Church
we learn, instructed for Brown, but |
did not instr as to the propriety
Of nominations.
With such expeditions of public
sentiment, of course, no right think /
ing man who has any conception OF
Democracy, when the delegates
meet next Saturday, will think of
making nominations. 1t would be
an assumption Of power ut war with
every idea of the rights Of the peo,
pie TO select their own officers. In
all our experience we have never
known a more signal failure. 1t is
a palpublc and uBdeniablc fact that
in this election the people of Dallas
county, by at least twenty 70 one,
are opposed to nomination, and in
favor of free race.

The county Convention, on Satur.
day, seems to have dwindled down

is becoming strengthened with tn c

expression of the voice of the peo-
pie is what they demand, and what
they will have.
