MONTGOMERY, Oct. 25.-In your
daily issue of the Esd inst, appear
two communications, one from A.
Bristol, the other from Justice, no
doubt written for injurious effect to
the Democratic party in Harris and
Montgomery counties in the present
canvass. Such false and malicious
representations as they contain, pub
lished in journal of so wide cir
culation and influence, at home and
abroad, as the Galveston Ners, pass
ing uncontradictcd, will prove preju-
dicial to the character and interests
of our county and its people. We
therefore ask If you will hereafter
afford space in the same authorita-
tive journal TO an historical state
mcnt of the radical misrule, oppres-
sion and dishonesty practiced con-
tinuously for years. A just indig-
nation and the necessities of our con-
dition authorize and require us 10
make the most strenuous efforts with
in the limits of the laws to relieve
ourselves from further radical DOM
nation. In these efforts we certain
ly have the natural right to say
whom we wish to hear, (and we do
not wish to hear radical oratory done
up under grecnback ausplces), winch
we lately exercised in the most con-
siderate and courteous manner, so as
not to give any oflense to the named
gentlemen, Messrs. Sharpe and Bris-
toll, who came here, as we learn from
them, at the single request of an OBJ
scure indivual, with no doupt In our
minds, from knowledge OF MS charr :.
acter of the malicious purpose OF
producing, II possible, uis' n
and infraction OF the laws. me re-
mainder OF the statements Oh MT.
"Justice" are untrue IN substance
and facts.
Since the close oil the war we nave
been a most patient, iaw-aDiuin2
community, submitting unoualibed-
ly, without mental reservation, Doth
in principle and conduct, 10 the au-
thority and laws OF the government
of the United States. The casualties
and disturbances arising from per-
sonal differences and the excitement
produced by the use of liquor, to
which all communities are subject,
have been fewer in number ana OF
less extent and ramification than IN
other counties of equal population.
We have since 1865, aud IN al OF the
intervening time up to the present
date, been subjected to unrnmbered
wrongs, outrages and frauds ana

of organized malefactors, VINO, Dy
