To lhs Editor Of the Herald.
My attention has been called to the card q

which nominated me, the charge of being A

against me that | felt called upon 10

yet been found to say that ever belonged to
that organization. When the convention
met |, with the other candidates before tina,

Action. The opposition to me was bitt r.
and after | was nominated | met a great
many friends, democrats rs well as green.
hackers, who wo Id laughingly remark 10 me
"that the greenbacker had been nominated. "
passed such remarks by with the spirit il,
which 1 understood them to be made. | am
not now, nor have ever been 3 greenbscker,
1t ever belonged to that organization it is
easily proven, and | defy any one to do so

too much common sense TO be diverted from

A LOAN AND REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION

A LOAN AND REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION
Why is there not an active, enterprising
real estate and building association in Dal-
las? We know of no plac, in Texas where
one is more neaded, and per const quence
where one properly managed, will pay more
hands >mely than here. The city is growing
in population and the demand for dwelling
houses is enormous, especially of the
cottage kind. 1t is unnecessary, we take it,
for us to enter into an argument to show
now such an association as W. allude TO is of
benefit to city, and how it can be made to
pay, We presume every thinking, we'll in
formed business man knows both these
facts quite rs well MS we Con tell them to
MIN. There is in Dallrs large class Of
men in business who have but small capital
and they cannot afford to take it out of their
business and put it into home, for if they
did the home would be all they had. There
are many mechanics and professional men
similarly situated. They could afford, how.
ever, TO buy themselves n home and pay for
1t in regular instsllments of certain sum
per month, which sum would be not only
return OF part of the principal, but hand
some monthly interest on the whole. The
poor man could afford to buy home on
easy terms on this sort of plan, for it would
cost him but little more comparatively, per
month than he would have to pay in rental.
This system of enabling industrious people
of limit means to secure homes for tbem-
selves, keeps them here and ava ems in
tleir bosoms liveier and keener interest in
the city'sprosperty and development. r ght
now 1t IS difficult TO rent dwelling house
in the city. The complaint in this particular
Is very general, and there is no doubt but
that it initiates against tn city's good. 1t

building association, and We trust
that 1t will DO done at once. There are
dozen or more gentlemen in this ely who
could easily put into such an undertaking
from $4,000 to $4,000, while there are
numerous Others who could invest smaller
sums in the stock of such company, and
directly corporation would be established
that would indeed be the friend of the poor
man, enabling him to get home for his
loved ones, while at the same time it would

THERE are indications that Secretary
Sherman is getting mad. His friends
have been receiving overtures from
both Grant and Blaine people, the sit
uation being such that it is supposed
that il Blaine could get Sherman's
strength he could be nominated on the
first ballot and il Grant could gather
the support of the Sherman delegates
he would have no trouble. This leaves
things WIDE open for trade, aud the
attention of the great finance minister
has been called 70 this fact. It aroused
him at once, and instead Of sending
his able brother-in-law around with q
denial, he made his own statement that
no trade is possible. Secretary Sher-
man is candidate for the first place,
and bis literary bureau has the most
profound confidence that he will get it.

The general conference of the NJ. E.
Church North decided that a colored
bishop should not be elected, in fact
that there was no use for one; but it IL
promised that after time there shall

ton of the refusal, that 'study and
experience may bring some of the
promising young colored ministers into
the board of bishops within few
years." In church management the
NJ. E. Church North is like unto itself
politically. 1t has been taking great
deal of stock in the colored race IN
the interest of the Republican party,
which gives the profitable places to the
white man, while the colored man
must remain at ease with empty hon.
ors. This church spends great deal
of money at the South, but it ex-
tends none of its fducisfy trusts to
its colored preachers. It has spent
much money in Austin, all of which
has passed through the hands OF trusted
white men. while we haven't doubt
that colored men could have been
found who would have applied the
funds even more properly and econom-
icallv.

cotton crop in the South. In South

Several other strong Grant men are on

ayers opposed to him. If he should
go in his own interest it will be another
proof of his remarkable personal au-

THE full text of the quo qOarTGntO
case against Mayor DeGress appears in
this issue of the paper. The Supreme
Court holds that it is not legal for q
retired army officer to hold such an
Office as mayor of the city of Austin,
and the jurisdiction OF the district court
is ordered as competent Cor the trial of
the cause. Whether it will be taken
up during this term of the district
court, or postponed until another, we
are not informed, but there is no rea-
son why it may not be decided at an
early day. The removal of Col. De-
Gress from the Office of mayor would
create a vacancy that can be filed in
no other way than by the people, and
an election would have to be ordered
without delay.
