,,,,pondonce OF the Galveston News
1 o,iw April 30,-Since have been
ML Texas | have talked II good
4 IWri,h the friends Of Mr., Throok,
oo understood from many of
that he is an unwilling candidate
%e democratic nomination for goyN
,r but has yielded TO the pressure
osends and what he believes to be
necessity of the case, one gentle'
nma long conversation with me eX,
,-,ed himself about thus
you see the population Of northern
Java, a now to u large extent COM
1 nI of northern people, Perhaps over
nm per cent ul our popuIubun are
,bem men, II we Include Missouri,
.pd Kcntuckaus it is largely more
@nlbal The voting element OF this
waion is very heavy, A majority
IL.em,n were not democrats when
| N cmolo Texas, but perhaps nine
r,olcno Of them have been Young the
ngBt democratic ticket since they
am, here This, rs suppose,
cause they thought the demos
n,c party the ouly respectable
in Texas. 1t is these north,
M men, many Of them former repubr
ans, who have been rolling up the
nnd democratic majority in Texas
GtIl SIR these men have Of late grown
pbe very restless, and there is q very
naked disposition among them to bolt. !
lg have got the idea into their heads
|h the democratic party of Texas is
10 fond Of shaking the confederate
body shirt. They saw Governor
Die defeat John Hancock for the sens
t by shaking the Confederate bloody |
llt' at him, and they saw Hancock |
mcn out of congress by Finlay and |
|Nh Slepperd pursuing him with the
anebloody thing, They have got the
8,ion deep in their hearts that they
.ye been made tools Of by the bloody
.rt shakers, and they are in n very
eentul mood, They will bolt, sir,
II as certain as the sun will rise to-
.grOw il the democratic convention
livery careful as to its nominee for
Wemor If the convention nomi,
steS man who is a bloodySshirt
ilker, or has been in communion with
.5odyshirt shakers, then good-by
'AOl These men will vote against him
they will vote against the whole dem.
@Iic ticket, and you can Judge what
be effect Will be, The party will
\ defeated, or run to the very
.@tlatch, Don't consider this
Consider what the voting
nngth Of northern Texas is, and then
I'm for yourself how deep is the feel
gn this bloody shirt matter. 1t is
aual enough, If You We're n northN
M BORN man you would feel like bolt-
lstoo, under such circumstances
Vow, Throckmorton IS esteemed by |
Aeemen. They look upon him as
national man, hater Of
be bloody shirt shriekers. They are
Ill wiling to vote for him, and to save
item from boiling and perhaps defeats
lg the democratic party, we have
sged him to be q candidate, and it is
bis view of the case that has caused |
.m to consent to be a candidate. Iii is
case OF party necessity, sir, | have
10 doubt that if left to his own perN
0nal choice, he would prefer to remain
hcOngress. Candidly, and if it were
lot for the exigencies of the case,
would prefer 10 see him remain there,
TOO, for he is an honor to Texas and is
hiectng great credit on the state.
Then you really think the demos
atic candidate will have opposition
text fall in Texas where all are demo,
5sY said your correspondent.
ID II Throckmortou is the candidate
There will be no opposition; everybody
could be satisfied with him. If Huo-
hd is nominated there will be very
Ngerful opposition; if some obscure
dark horse is nominated, then | will
galn say, good-by, John"
you certainly can not say that Gov.
enor Hubbard is bloody-shirt sha>
kerr
Not in lip.service, but | fear he is
habit and association. While he
does not talk for them, yet he always
a's with them He is looked upon up
here in that light. Moreover, the
hIends Of Ireland would probably bolt
ID case OF his nomination, as well as
north Texas"
How if the bloody.shirt shakers
should bolt Throckmortor, if he be
lominatedY
,Oh, they won't do that. They claim
oGeh the Democratic party, you know,
,la twould never do for them to bolt.
BESIDES, they would have no strong ob
Vuon to Throckmorton, as he was q
"4Iederate, too, when the war began"
lslHe this conversation for what it is
sVf'h with the remark that | believe
Atiels considerable truth in it. Wheth
u may help Throckmorton or hurt
UNI Is another matter. If it be the
.sl' cause of the great noise made about
taa'oCCkmorton III northern Texas, and
W. friends in the convention see that
W can not get the nomination, then
lucy may throw their entire weight for
'Vln llancock-in case he has not al
,S'y oeen nominated for congress-or
wi Judge Devine, Of San Antonio.
