THE Brazos Pilot says the
democrats of Brazos county
have put themselves to much
trouble and some expense in
their efforts to relieve their err
ring friends of the greenback
delusion. They have had Col,
Mills, Judge Reagan, and gov
errors Throckmorton and Coke,
all men acknowledged states
manship and extensive political
experience to come and make
speeches. 1t asks, what is
there in the personal or politi-
cal history of Hamman, Brady
or Wash Jones to make them
safer guides for the people of
Texas than Coke, Culberson,
Roberts, Reagan and Throck
norton" 1t does not appear
that the crring brethren were
converted.

In HIS LETTER of acceptance,
Presidential Candidate Garfield
cast a big tub TO the colored
whale. 1t has been sixteen
years since the sons of Ham
were incorporated into the Re-
publican party, cloathed with
full citizenship, and annually
since then been hooked by
just such tasteless bait. Just
now the colored voter realizes
the. fact that campaign letters
do not amount to much. He
is, therefore, open in his opinion
of such screeds. The fact is
the day has gone by when the
negro can be captured with pol
itics promises made before cleo
ton day. Baked ambition and
dashed hopes have sharpened
his wits.

Shepard and Jones.

The Houston Post, an indie
pendent paper, copies and APP
proves the Galveston Posts es-
innate Of the congressional can
didates in this district. The
Galveston Post is a republican
paper, and it says that Shepard
was overmatched and routed
"horse foot and dragons" The
Houston Post takes it as i Cos
pei truth and adds, Truth is a
wholesome commodity and sup
preston of it is injurious to the
general interests. Col. Jones
chances of reelection are grow
ing brighter and brighter, and
it is comfortable to know that
a probable Congressman is dis
playing remarkable ability in
refuting and overcoming the
arguments of his opponent, a
a man himself far above the or
binary talent"
Messrs. Shepard and Jones
will canvass the district togeth-
er, as appears by the list of ap-
pointments published in the
BANNER, and all who are so dis
posed will have an opportunity
of seeing and hearing the gen.
tlemen for themselves. The
people rarely form a wrong es-
innate Of a man and time will
show which one is in the right.
Mr.. Shepard is a democrat and
stands fairly and squarely upon
the democratic platform as
enunciated at Cincinnati. Mr..
Jones stands on no platform
whatever, except that he claims
to be an independent, a demo-
Graf, a greenbacker or anything
else that is calculated 10 appeal
to popular sympathy. While
MIR. Jones displays great fact
and ability in adopting himself
to the views of the illiterate and
uniformed, he fails to impress
well informed men that he is a
statesman. We have coversed
with a good many men who
heard the joint discussion here
last Saturday and have failed
to find one upon whom Jones
made a favorable impression
except greenbackers and repub-
leans.

Mr.. JOHN w. SAYLEs has ham
ded the BANNER copy of the
Elk Mountain Pilot, published
at Ruby camp, Gunnison county
Colorado. The paper is dated
August 18th and contains an
article descriptive of Silver Ba-
sin. The General Sayles claim,
belonging to Gee, Rusk, Harvin,
Callahan and others, mostly
Texans, has been sunk about
sixteen feet and shows up a
vein Of quartz six feet wide,
carrying galena, ruby and brit
tie silver. A choice piece of
mineral from this claim essayed
$40 to the ton, and much Of
the ore that is being taken out
closely resembles that of the
Forest Queen in this camp,
which will run 1900 ounces, and
as great a reputation as the
Forest Queen bears is predict
ed for the General Sayles.

ORGANIZATION.

Are the democracy of the diff
ferent voting precincts Of this
county organized1 Have they
gone to work with an intention
to do their whole duty in this
contest ? II not, then it is high
time that some move in that
direction was being made
Every good citizen is directly
interested in the affairs Of gov
ernment, and it becomes his
DUTY to aid in securing the cleo
ton of good, true and honest
men-men in whose integrity
you have faith and confidence.
Then let every democrat so to
work at once in the matter of
organization; invite your friends
and neighbors to cooperate
with you in the good work;
canvass the merits of the cause
with all voters with whom you
meet; invite them to join your
clubs and assist in placing good
men in Office. Place no faith
in the statements Of indepen-
dent candidates-they are SIM
ply boilers from their party, and
are endeavoring to ride into
Office by appealing to the pas
sions and prejudices of the illit-
crate. Pay no attention to their
wailings, but leave them "alone
in their misery"
The state ticket is perfectly
safe; work will be needed in the
interest of our congressional and
county ticket. Every voter,
who desires the election OF the
Hon. Seth Shepard, should con-
stitute himself a committee OF
one to forward his interest. Mr..
Shepard is personally known to
almost every voter in the coun-
ty. His record is second to
that of no man in the state,
while his ability and fitness for
the position to which he aspires
is admitted even by his oppon-
ents. 1t is. desirable that Mr..
Shepard should poll a majority
vote in his own county; to ac-
complish this, some interest
must be taken by his friends
and supporters in each precinct.
There is work ahead and the
sooner we set about doing it the
better for all concerned.

A CAREFUL reading of the re-
port of Col. Jones speech at
Galveston shows that Mr. Jones
rather over-stepped the bounds
oflegitmate criticism in his ref
erences to his competitor, and
descended to personalities that
were, to say the least, unbecom-
ing. Col. Jones is an old and
shrewd politician and is amply
able to take care ofhimselfwith
out going beyond reasonable
limits. The canvass promises
to be a warm one and should be
conducted freely and openly;
there is plenty of room to de-
bate on subjects in which the
public are vitality interested
without referring to any matters
Of a personal character.

The Independent More.


Gen. J. B. Robertson has
been swinging around the circle;
on Friday last he was at Austin
and in response to a direct ques-
ton propounded by the Calves
ton News reporter, care you
going to run for governor" he
replied tfathe had not decided,
but would announce his decis-
ion next week. The cores
pondent ventures the opinion
that the general will be- candi-
date. Gen. r. said he had no
idea whether Davis and Ham
man would vacate the field if
he enters it, and that he is in
consultation with no one but
democrats.
General Robertson is, perhaps
as well known as any man in
the state, he has been in public
life for many years and has
heretofore been a lifelong dem
ocrat, always acting with and
doing battle for the party and
its time honored principles.
The history Of The Dallas con-
vention is before the people; to
say it was entirely satisfactory
or that the nominations were
enthusiastically received, would
not be just. The convention
was nominally of the peoples
own choosing and TIE. state
ticket was nominated by an
overwhelming majority. The
minority in the convention ac-
cepted the result in good faith
and the entire democracy ofthe
state have acquiesced. There
has been, it is true, a little
grumbling here and there, but
there has been no indignation
meetings, no one has been dis
gusted, and judging by ali out
ward appearances, there is no
call nor no occasion for an in
dependent movement. We are
of those who believe in settling
party differences inside the par
ty; true democracy consists in
rule, and the majority
having made nominations in ac-
cordance with democratic US
ages we favor abiding by them,
and trusting to the future to
any evils that may ex-

The republican congressional
committee is now sending off
100000 campaign documents a
day. The most widely circula-
ted is a garbled report of Gen.
Wade Hampton's speech at
Stanton, Va. Although Gen.
Hampton has declared in the
most positive manner that he
never used the language imput-
ed to him therein, the commit
tee justi6es ifs action in spread
ing broadcast the document on
the ground that it was SO pub
lished in the local republican
paper. The party is hard push
ed that finds it necessary to re-
