There are a great many men in Texas,
aye and in the Democratic ranks here
at that, who honestly believe il would
be better for all the various interests of
the State. were the two national parties
in Texas more eyealy balanced in mum
bers, intelligence and property. If
intelligence and property were made
the basis OF the proposition with the
single added quality of virtue, we
should never contest IT, But at this
time. and considering all the circum-
stances surrounding Texas and the
Union. we regard it as peculiarly for
tuuato circumstance that we have a
large, healthy. aud efficient majority.
The condition Of the State when com
pared with o.her.States OF the Union
bears Us out in the conclusion that it is
indeed a very fortunate circumstance
that the caunsels.of our Lone Star State
are not divided, but that whea the peo
\ pie move, they do 1T unanimously, so
to speak.
This simple circumstance saved Texas
all the bitterer and more disastrous
experiences of reconstruction which
plunged every other Southern State
into woes unfathomable, aud from
which South Carolina and Louisiana
have not yet fully emerged Contrast
our condition with theirs and the util-
| ity of over one hundred and twenty
thousand Democratic majority is itnme

to two leading causes. The majority

we're more evenly balanced in Texas

New Orlean Democrat: The ST

! falling of in the numbers of those
who form the rank and file of the

such terrible condition of demoraii-

Packard himself has an attack of the
blue glass theory, aid looks weaker,
more detected, care-worn man by fifty
per cent. than he did on the day when
he stepped forth ON the stage of the st.
Charles theatre and delivered his
speech of thanks for the nomination
for governor of the State of Lou isiana.
He looks more violet than the most
sombre tint of Colonel Pleasauton's
famous glass
In the coming of the famous com
mission he sees that there Can come

determination of a man who appre-
ciases the certainty of his near end, he

chin, like the hero in Hugols "l'uilers

despondent man they had ever seen
ana that his eye showed him to be the
most tricky. OF ali the terrors that
have of late excited the fears of the
hotel tribe, none has been so potent
as that of the coming meeting Friday
noon. They fear that the smotbered
vengeance of the people may break
forth, and they are more than anx-
ions TO know what will come out of it,
Take it all in all, careful survey Of
