CONCERT OF ACTION.

1Esop in all his fables never illustrated q
wiser thought, n greater truism than he did
in his fable of the fagots. One was easily
broken; two and three and four and five
could by great effort be brok n, but when
the whole bundle was put together it resisted
the strength of giant. So it is in all the
relations of life. Alone we can do but little,
together We can do much. Harmony
and unity Of action are the grand secrets of
success. In politics this is especially the case.
Omitted we stand, divided we fall" Let the
Democratic party be ms one man, then, for
principle and for right, and let the progressive
Democracy Of Texas unite in its opposition
to the reelection Of Governor Roberts. This
must be done if we would avert the calamity
of another two years of his policy, which is
paraysing every interest of the state, which
weighs down upon the advancement, and
development and material prosperity Of the
state az horrid nightmare, which is known
abroad as the synonym Of retrogression.
With the magnificent corn and small grain
crops already made in Texas we can feed
thousands upon thousands o immigrants
from the surplus, and with the magnificent
prospect mt this time Of heavy cotton
crop, there is every assurance that our
people will themselves DO full-handed and
with the railroads being built hero and there,
there is nothing but the bancful policy Of
the present state administration to retard ito
onward march to greatness and power and
population. With q governor opposed to
free schools, TO free education; opposed to
immigration in favor of squandering the
public domain that great corporations and
capitalists may establish landed monopoes
and grow rich off the necessities of the peo-
pie, how can Texas hope to 90 forward,
hope to fill her waste places with people, to
make her wildernesses and prairie sweeps
bloom like the gardens of Sharon aye, like
Hesperiden gardens, growing golden apples?
With governor who, it would seem, must
be annoyed at tho sight Of school house
supported by the state, who would build n
Chinese wall about our borders to keep out
the people Of other countries who would
like to make their homes on our soil, who
wants the lands of tho state disposed o
to spectators at q ptiful price, what can be
our future what our destiny? The great,
grand commonwealth of Texas, with u terri
tory an empire in extent, and embracing
every variety Of the most fertile soil, rich in
minerals, bountful in water courses, splon-
didly timbered and with magnificent prairie
pastures: territory that rewards the hus.
bandman with marvellous munifcenco in
cotton, corn, small grains, fruits, vegetables
and sugar; that makes glad the heart of the

aocks of sheep, his droyos of cattle, his

its climate, that il checkered with railroads
and that needs but liberal, progressive,

mishtiest state in tho Union 10 population,
in wealth, in commercial greatness, in politi-
cal power-shall Texas be shackled for
another two years with such an administra-
ton as is now upon us like an incumbus,
prostrating every energy nullifyirg every
effort 1t is for the people to say, for the
progressive Democracy to say. Organization
and concert of action is the necessity for the
defeat Of Governor Roberts nomination at
the next state convention Verbum Stats
