Hon. I. 4. SpnlIIing.

Hon. /. \. Spalding, of Morgan
field, Union county, candidate for
Congress of this district, addressed Il
large audience last Friday evening, at
the courthouse. His speech was of
the true democratic ring-that which
should characterize every Democrat
in the state. He spoke of the great
errors of the President in the appoint
mcnt of corrupt and unqualified men
to office, the perpetuation of the same
in office, and the evil resulting there
from. That instead of the office hold
ers being the servants of the people and
the Offices belonging to the people, in
many instances, were used for the ben
eft of the individual, and that the
people We're made the servants of the
Office holders. That the public debt
since the war, had, by fraud and mis-
appropriation of the government fund
been increased, instead of being de-
creased. The utter destruction and
ruin of the country if the same is not
checked. That the government
should only control the general affairs
of the nation and that each state
should have the right to control its
own affairs. And if elected would do
all in his power to reduce the public
debt and thereby alleviate in a great
measure the heavy tax that is now
upon lis. Mr.. S. made very favora-
BILE impression here, and will receive a
good support in the county.

where ana Why7

This question is often heard on our
streets, and from facts well known to
those who have visited the establish
ment, it seems almost miracle to find
every one who has invested at the New
York Clothing House speak so highly
of the house. Their coming among us
in the very dullest season OF the year,
the EXTREMITY large stock they carry, the
vast quantities of goods daily sold, are
puzzles for everybody; hence we hear,
where are they toundY They come
from New York, Of the large manulac'
turing establishment of A. Stelnberg "
Co., 81 Walker street And why can
they command such II trader They are
importers and manufacturers OF all they
sell and make it q matter OF import
ance to let everybody find out that what
thew sell is the best and lowest IN price,
and have no opposition in the city OF
Dallas, for they are daily represented IN
the best market of the United States,
where, with cash, they can find many
onnortunities for proper investments

to draw on its banker for every deau

that six or eight of its advertisements
should be marked out, and we ORA"

An important election takes place
to-day in the Second ward. All the
candidates are good and true men.
The position of Alderman is, at BEST
n thankless office, yet it is one that
carries with it the gravest response
bilities. The HERALD assumes no
right to advise, nor has it any choice
among the candidates, but 1t would
simply suggest that each citizen turn
out and deposit his ballot for the can
didate of his choice. In this Centen-
NAL year we want a full vote at every
election, municipal, state or national
The time is past when man can lay
back on his oars and say we have u

EXCHANGE BANK.
Recommended by the prestige of its
founders and also by its capital, this
bank, though next to the youngest in.
stitution of its class in Dallas, is al
ready in the enjoyment Of business
OF conspicuous and indeed splendid
proportions.
Nothing could be more admirable,
IN the particular Of adaptibiity, than
the distribution of its official staff.
AT its head stands one of the foremost
financial men Of the West, Colonel
Philip h. Chapel, President of the
National Exchange Bank of Jefferson
City, Missouri, and also Mayor of that
city. The position of Cashier is filled
10y clear headed business man, G. NJ.
Swink, Esquire, well known citizen
OF this city, and one identified with
nearly every important enterprise orig
mated in and for the benefit OF Dallas.
Mr. Swink is ably seconded by the
business capacity and experience of
f. II. Davenport, the Assistant Cashier
and William McGrain the book keeper.
The Directory is represented 10y Doctor
Crowdus, Phillip H. Chapel, +. II.
Davenport, John NJ. Stcmmons, j. l..
Williams, +. o, Galloway, GIN Swink,
Jules Schneider and Ii. $. Ervay. All
Of these gentlemen, Will, the exception
of Colonel happel, are citizens of Dali
las, well known for their s0lvency and
integrity.
Among the most prominent stock
holders In this bank are General II.
Clay Ewing and 7. l.. Smith of Jeller-
son City, Missouri, These names are
especially mentioned because they
show not only the willingness but the
tendency Of Western capital to seek
Investment in Northern Texas, aud
also the confidence which people
abroad have il the future pros perty of |
Dallas.

after the late civil war, granting upon
certain specific conditions the estab-

OoIonel John Kerr and Major Il. II.
