The Republican party is in the
most imminent peril. TO save itself
from death it will make a fearful
struggle. A war might save it, and
it ia already whispered that Mexico
is to be made sacrifice for its sins.
War may be declared before the cleo
ton, and the recent crossing Of Mac
Kenzie has the appearance of seeking
for an excuse.

QUESTION TO JUDGE HANCOCK.

The test OF democracy in Texas Is
hearty belief in the Austin plat
form, just az the test of a Methodist
is belief in the Discipline. A man
whose feelings are not in harmony
with the principles of that platform
and who as a consequence is not will
ling to pledge implicit obedience to
IL in his public acts, is not Texas
democrat. If Judge Hancock is in
accord with 1t, and honestly intends
to be guided by II in CT of his cleo
ton, he is properly candidate ior
Congress and entitled by right to the
support of every Democrat in his
district. If he be not democrat in
this sense of the word, the nomina-
ton by convention does not make
him one, and entities him to no rights;
the action Of the convention Is null
and void, and the democrats in his
district are absolved from the duty Of
voting for him at the coming election
may il is their duty to vote against
him. To speak plainly, grave doubts
of his belief in the principles of the
party as expressed at Austin are
freely spoken. His occasional utter
ances give much pungcncy to those
doubts, and the interview of n. A.
4. in the Galveston News, seems TO
render them valid.
We do not attempt to prove that
Judge Hancock is hard money man
attempting to run on soft money
platform. The matter admits of
easier solution and rests with Judge
Hancock himself, if.he will stoop to
explain himself. II can be done in
few words. For ourselves, we are
democrats for the supposed princi-
pies of democracy. II the Austin
platform is to be made blind and
snare, we repudiate it, and and so
will tens of thousands of voters.
So far rs we are concerned we should
vote for no man who does not stand
fairly, squarely and heartily on that
platform, though he were nominated
by thousand conventions, and were
endorsed by every democrat in the
United States, from Thurman down.
At the last congressional election
the Texas democracy was partially
greenback and sent only one resump-
ZIONIST to Congress. This election il is
overwhelmingly greenback, and will
send two anti-greenbackers, that is
if Schleicher and Hancock are elected,
and if Hancock is anti-greenback.
Pow can that be.
Let them be an explanation. This
is no time for nonsense, or double
dealing. The people will not stand
it. Is Hancock in hearty earnest
accord with the Austin platform. If
he is, il is the duty of every demo-
crat TO rally to his support. If he is
not, If he even waivers or hcsitates.
il is the duty of every democrat to
oppose him. We know what Wash
Jones believes, let us hear from Han
cock. We speak this in all
kindness to Judge Hancock. If he
is not in hearty accord with his party
it is his duty as an honorable man
to withdraw, il he is, it is his duty |
and interest to let il be known. The
times are urgent. No milk and wa
ter will do. In the mighty struggle |
inaugurated single con-
gresham in the next Congress may |
hold the fate of the country in his
hands. In that Congress luke
warm friend even, will be more to
be dreaded than an open foe. Judge
do you stand heart and
soul ON the Austin platforms.

BOSTON CHURCH PEOPLE EXCITED.-A spe-
cial dispatch to the New York Times from
Boston, April q, says Down town was con
slderably exercised this evening over the posi-
tive statement that a distinguished public man
admitted at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, in this city. By some it was posi-
lively stated that Gov. Rice was the man; by
others as positively that it was ex-Gov. Cham
pertain, OF Maine, president of Bowdoin Col
lege; and others still discussed the matter
under the belief that it was the poet LongfeI-
low. Gov. Rice, being questioned, denied the
report so lar as he was concerned, and that
most emphatically. Ex-Gov Chamberlain il
was found had not been in town for a week or
ten days. and Mr.. Longfellow was innocent of
the charge. The reports no doubt grew out of
declaration made not long since by the Rev.
Father Fulton that a distinguished man was
