Hon W Al Miller, Chairman Greenback
State Executive Go nmlttee Austin, Texas
DEAR SIR Your published call for a
State convention to meet in Austin the % Of
June, has reached us. SO far us we can learn,
the adherents of our party in North Texas,
would be gratifed If the convention could
be held at moro accessible point than Aus
tin, and We trust that you will consider their
wishes, and if possible, select another point,
under arrangements which will insure the
attendance Of delegates from every voting
precinct in the State.
A grand political State convention held
under encampment regulations at Hearne,
Robertson county, would, il is believed, call
out full delegation Of the Greenback farm
ers, mechanics and business men, by the
thousands if need be, and insure the atten-
dance of \ more complete representation
I an has ever been known to assemble in our
State in behalf of political reform. We are
confident that it will be possible TO hold a
convention under encampment at Hearne,
made up of larger and more liberal repre-
sentation than the political history Of Texas
has ever known.
A State ticket presented by such large
convention, offering for the high and import
ant offices the names Of some of the best men
adhering to the cause, men honest and capa-
BILE, arewilng to 90 before the people up
on platform of progress and reform, as we'll
asupon their own merits as good citizens,
would command the respect and confidence
of the people and carry smsjority of the vot-
ing strength of the State.
Please consider this matter in council with
members of the State Executive committee
and favor us with an early reply.
Yours truly, WM. H. LITTELI,
Chairman Executive Committee Third Con-
gressional district. JoHN J. EAKIS,

CABBAGING CIGARS,
Five Thousand Cigars stolen from the
Texas a Pacific Depot in
Broad Daylight

One of the boldest thetts ever perpetrated
in this city was that at the Texas " Pacific
depot last Saturday. In broad daylight
about 8 o'clock in the afternoon, a case of
five thousand cigars was taken out of the
depot and spirited away. How it was done,
or by whom, is not known. for not the slight
est trace is to be had, 10 one having seen
such box leave the building. Some one OF
the employees are nearly Away in the freight
department. and are never absent but for Il
few minutes Mt time, and how the audacious
theft was carried out mystery. The mat
ter has been sept quiet with the hope that the
police might gain some clue,
but % far they are rs murh in the dark rs
ever. They were manufactured in the OH
district of Pennsylvania and Mt factory No.
{, and were tied with n red ribbon in pack
ages of ten each, there being one hundred t.
the box, and were branded "Milican "
Grants 'Stiubers "a queer name for u
cigar. They were consigned to these par
ties, who were doing business at Weather
ford. The thief or thieves, for there must
have been more than one to handle the box
which weighed two hundred pounds, cannot
hope TO dispose of the good. in This section
without detection. MIR. Fosdick, the agent
will pay reward Of S2j for the recovery Of
the goods.
