and Ex-Governor Threckmorton paid
the office of the Post visit yesterday
and we feel truly Uttered by Their
complimentary remafks concerning the

acknowledge the necessity of an inde
pendent paper that is not afraid to ad-
vocste the cause of the people, regard
less of party, and publish the truth,
regardless of persons or party, it Is
high time for the little snivling patti
sans to cease their prating about the
course We have adopted" A of which
Is very good when they do, not under

which hss opposed the establishment
OF 8 creditsble clty government al
Houston, and which opposes a state ad-
ministrat;on Endorsed by the Democ-
racy of Texas. The bragsdocio statement
of the Post should be taken cum graHO

Of such Endorsement from these men,
but the Post evidently wants the pub

THE PEOPLES eovERSmEN r.

The Galveston convention has sd-
jaUrned after laying out work highly
satisfactory 10 the Democracyof Texss,
which stands ready 10 enter the car :
vass with unity unknown since Ds-
Vis was hurled by popular will
from the executive chsir. It was
p sitively denot s:rased by those
who attended this COW n'ion that the
Democracy IS earnestly interested in

the occupation OF trioksteEs is ST i;s-
count. Il Is bright dey that dawns

DIVISION among Democrats has beep
Planned, but those representative men
at Galveston have demonstrated that
pIotters against the welfare 2t Texas
cannot st this day succeed. Plotters
were indeed st Galveston, but they stood
abs he'd before the overwhelming move

North Tcxas the unanimous expression
of MS endorsement is as unmistskably
as fir, m the Eaet snd Wet. Collin
,unty, the home of Throckmortop,
aud emlth, the home Of Hubbard, sent
G sndsrd men to the conTention, who
declared Governor Roberts to be
the choice of their counties.
Inc convention corfned itself to
legitimate business, and the del
egates conferred freely with esch
orber and mutually congratulated
themselves upon the strength of the
peoples Governor, and yet it had been
nolsed abroad, all over Texas, that this
faithful representative Of popular will
IS condemned. II was the opinion of

politicians who crlnge most before

aud they will now be heard of only in
while thoss who support

and now that great p4'rIot and i'm
maculste Greenbscker, De La M4tyr, set
his gigantic intellect to work, and has
calmly manufactured q great speech.
But for fear the Capitol would fall

mendable consideration obtained per-
mission TO have it published IN the

cent Grafton that Mr.. De La M.tyr did
not deliver, he asserts the people, the
dear people, will study finance, and
that sail the fury of the maddened
priests and their lacky army of pamp-
cred editors and orators cannot pre-
vent it. This thinking by the people
is the hand of fire writing the sentence
of relentless doom on the slabaster
walls of the gorgeous temple of Man,
mon, where revellers snd worshippine
idols OF bonds, of gold and silver, sud
arc drunken with the blood OF the toll
ing masses, pressed by usuTy from their

receives this Grafton, sent at the expense
of the general government, and reads
these burning words, his bosom will
hesve with lofty emotions, and he wil
fondly imagine he sees the great De Is
House boldly speaking, while the "feTT:.
