youth; has been true to the country in
every relation of hfe-as soldier, in
political life, in all of the varied con-
dItions of snciety, re has always been
found earnest and sincere. He has
never been proven unfaithful, wherever
placed, aud We confidently appeal to
all, with whom he has been associated,
for u hearty endorsement of what we
have said"
In a nameless town we have had q
sad and accurate illustration of wo.
mans injustice to her sex. A man
who held deputy county Office mar
RED a woman of bad repute and
brought her to the town in which he
lived. The wife, during the tour years
she remained there, lived u pure, good
life. striving amid difficulties to show
the WORT that she wanted to lead a
different life than the one she had left.
She was never known to thrust her
self IN any ones path, never even
speaking to any person; always kind,
gentle and modest. And not one wo-
man in the town ever went near her;
not one Of the many Christians said TO
her, l Will help you, but left her alone
70 her sorrow and temptations. Christ
may have found her.

The Denton Monitor says: "The
Eame of Governor Throckmorton has
been mentioned IN this connection foI
the last ten yesrs---in fact, ever since
he was removed from that position by
arbitrary rule-but he has uniformly
shrank from entering the political
arena for the purpose of seeking re
election. Ii he does not peremptOrily
require that bis name be not used in
this connection, he will certainly be
the mex Governor of Texas. The nc
c. ssities Of the State demand lis seI-
VICES, and tbs people all over the land
desire them. II Is already nominated
around the neartbstuDes of almost ev
cry family and in The hearts of the
people. The sentiment has been in-
creasing until we are beginning to ex-
perience grand and imposing ground
swell, which is cow as broad as the
State and as deep as the affections OF
the people. This feehug we do not
believe will abate until the Hon. j.
