Correspondence of the Herald.
TESEELL. July 20. 1880.
I am glad to see the effort the HERALD is
making to prevent the denomination of Gov
ernor Roberts. heartily endorse avery ar
gument of the HERALD. Haven no unfriend-
ly feelings for Governor Roberts, but VIC are
taught that man is "once man and twice
a child" and | am of opinion that the gov
ernor Is in his second childhood. | have
travelled over good deal Of Texas of late
and find strong opposition to Roberts, and
/ hear every day strong and influential Demo-
Gratis say that if he is nominated they will
not support him, and they will do all they
can to defeat him.
l really believe he would be defeated if
nominated. If the convention dominates
Roberts they will, by their acts, endorse his
opposition to schools and immigration, two
essential things necessary to make Texas
whist she deserves to be, the empire state of
this union. don't believe majority of the
people will endorse the administration
of Roberts at the polls this fall.
A. sheriff of one Of the counties OF this state
tol( me he teegraphed Governor Roberts for
reqlisition 10 capture fugitive. So import
ant was speedy correspondence he spent
ST. telegraphing. The governor took time
TO write the county attorney to know if he
could convict the party, if arrested. The at
iorney refused to furnish such affidavit, as
any other honest official would have done;
consequently, III this as in other similar cases,
guilty parties escape the penalty of the law.
| believe am correct and think the records
of the courts will bear me out in the asser-
ton, that crime has been greatly on the in
crease under Roberts administration, while
education has been kept back. Lieutenant
Governor Savers his ably and honestly en-
deavored to open the eyes of the people that
they may be able to see and realize the situa-
ton, and they do. If the convention does
not, they will see the people do when they
90 to the polls if the o. a. is nominated. If
the convention does not see fit to
nominate either of the candi-
dates, and wants dark horse, or one who
Il not candidate, Dul mas lne good oil leXeS
50 fully at heart that he has never refused,
nor will he re use, if called upon to serve
her, let them nominate the Hon. ]. w.
Throckmorton. With Throckmorton at
the helm, the state will be steered safely in the
port Of prosperity. immigration will crowd
into our state, education will be encouraged,
crime suppressed, taxes reduced, debts
diminished.
Vast acres of the best land of the state,
now idle will be in cultivation, and indus
tries of all kinds will spring up on evely
hand. Wehave all to loose by nominating
Roberts, ard nothing to gain. Governor
Roberts has had office all of bis life. Cen
tlemen of the convention, if you want to
elect your nominee, retire Governor Roberts,
with all of his honors. to private life, where
he will be free from public labors and car
where he can enjoy the sociability of friends
and family beneath his own vine and fig tree.
With the paudits of well DONE thou good
and faithful, enter thou into thine own house
and let Sayers or Throckmorton so to the
mansion. %*
