1 trust the people OF our district who
nave bonored me with their conf
1ence, viii see 10y the foregoing that
am in good faith fulfilling the pledges
made.
| have also introduced and have now
nelore the proper committees, sections
Tor organizing the county, probate
and Justices courts, as Advocated los
me IN the canvass, aud have every
reason to believe that all these views
III regard to corporations generally,
railroads, county, probate and JUSTICES
courts, will be embodied Ia The Con.
stllution substantially, as advocated
10y me before the people
To-day the Convention contracted
with the Evening News for publishing
our daily journals, allowing each mem
Der ilve copies and no more. One
copy each member needs on his desk
the other four | shall send TO the
newspapers in the county, by which
those papers can make Intelligent
synopsises of our proceedings.
Az my own expense will have daily
mailed the Evening News to the fol-
lowing postmasFcrs for neighburhood
use to-wit; Eagle Ford, Cedar Hill,
Lancaster, Lisbon, Hutchins, Scyene,
Richardson and Grapevine, which,
with the postage, Will cost me thirty
to forty cents per day. And as we
have cut down our own pay to the
rates before the war, do not think
the people Of Dallas county will ask
more of one ms poor as | am.
In conclusion, beg the people to be
of good cheer. They may rest assured
that we are going to make good con
stitution, cut down expenses, reduce
taxation, insure far more prompt adj
in the courts, and abolish
the detestable principle of registration
of voters. Moreover, we will put OF
the election to come of in December
and not ask the people to vote again
until the new Constitution shall be
submitted to them, together with the
election of more or less officers prob
ably all officers even and then with
out registration. Very Truly,
JOHN HENRY BROWN.
