More properly speaking. there is
seemingly due the bondhudcrs u little

The interest on this would only be
about eighteen million dollars per an

ury says that he paid the hondhoIdprs
as interest on The public debt Tor the
last fiscal year over one hundred and
five millions. This is about eighty
millions more than they ought to have
received, and this is the way in which
the pnllic treasury has been plundered
for many years. And when we remem-
her this fact. together with the unjust
exemption Of bonds from taxation, VIC
see clearly that the United States owes
the hondholdcrs nothing! On the con.
Irary, they justly owe The United
States very large amount.

BY authority Of q resolution passed
by the Democratic executive committee
Of this county, at meeting held on
the 9Th instant, I hereby cali county
convention of the Democratic party to
meet at the court house In Austin, on
Saturday, July "a, at 10 A. NJ, IN
nominate Candidates for the various
county offices, representative to the
legislature, to select delegates to the
sixty-sixth representative district, con-
gressional and state conventions, and
TO transact such other business % may
properly come before the convention.
Il was further resolved that the chair
men Of the respective precincts call
their precinct meetings at such time a.
they may deem proper; that the pre-.
cinct meetings should be participated
in and conducted by Democrats only.
and that the following number OF
delegates will be entitled to seats in
the convention, viz: Precinct No. I.
3; No. 2, 3; No. 8, 90; No. 4, 8; No.
8, 4; No. @, 8; No. z, /; No. s, L.
the above having been agreed upon,
on the basis of one delegate for every
fifty Democratic votes IN the precinct
and one for every fraction OF dfty over
twenty-five.
Each precinct is requested to select
its number of delegates as above fixed
by the executive committee, and TO
also select like number OF alternates
to be numbered one. two, ETC., In the
order OF selection, 30 that in case OF
the absence Of regular delegates the ell
ternates may be substituted as num-
bered. The basis of vote for each pre-
cinct represented in the convention
will be declared upon by the conyen-
ton. 1t is earnestly urged that all
Democrats attend their primaries and
be governed by the suggestions
contained in the address pre-
ceding this call. Let US exercise
forbearance, zeal anu prudence, and
avoid controversy among ourselves and
''even the appearance of evilp towards
Democrats entertaining views inmate
rally different from our own-standinR
only upon principle, and having In
view the common veal of the people
and country. No undue interest in the
advancement Of any man should warp
our judgment, control our conduct or
excite to personalities, and we should
look with wide-open and jealous eye
to the success of our party, which
means the success of correct PRINCE
Piles of government. On q fair vote In
this county the Democratic party,
polling its full strength, has q majority
Of at least 500. Let every Democrat
resolve, for this one time, that be will
stand by and vindicate his party, and
we will cease to be reproached through
out the state with having a doubtful
majority at the capital county and city
Of strongly Democratic state.
Rally first to the primaries, and then
to the polls. Your servant,

THE body of an unknown white
man was found in the Colorado, neal
Hornsby's bend, nine miles below the
city, day or two ago. 1t was entirely
nude, and had evidently been in the
water several days. Around the waist
was buckled leather strap, attached
to which was q pair of shoes. The
body had evidently washed down the
river some distance, and was checked
by snag inserting itself under the
belt alluded to. 1t is supposed thai
the unfortunate man attempted to ford
the river, pulling his clothes off and
buckling his shoes to his waist to more
easily wade across. 1t is likely he lost
his footing, and the strong current,
that always prevails in the Colorado,
carried him down and he was drowned.
