Democratic State Convention.

Hon. Z. G. Bower, chairman
of the Democratic Executive
committee of Texas, on the 18th
inst, issued his call for the con-
vention TO assemble at Dallas,
Tuesday, August 10, 1880 for
the purpose ofnominating state
officers and to organize the par
ty for the ensuing election.
The basis of representation is
one for every three hundred
democratic votes and one for
the fraction of $50 votes cast
in the election for governor in
1873. Chairmen of county COM
mittees are requested to call
conventions for the election of
delegates. 1t is requested that
a full delegation will be sent
from every county. The con-
vention will also select two
presidential electors for the
state at large and one from each
congressional district. With
unity and harmony, says chair
man Bower, the battle isalready
won.

The New Orleans Democrat

The New Orleans Democrat,
a paper that will ever bear Gar
field in grateful remembrance,
has this to say regarding the
Chicago nominations:
Gen. Garfield is in every re-
spect a typical Republican.
He has long been conspicuous
as an exponent of the most
pronounced hostility to the
south, was one of the visiting
statesmen in 1867, and fig
ured as a signer of the subse-
quent report-a document re-
markable for its bitterness and
misrepresentation. As a mem
Der of the famous 8 to 7 COM
mission he sustained his part in
the plot to defraud the people
of the legitimate fruits Of the
election of 1876.
Gen. Arthur is a mere creature
of Conkling's New York ma
chine. He was ousted from the
New York custom-house by the
operation of Hayes's civil SER
vice reform, and is now nomin-
ated to the Vice Presidency, in
testimony, We presume, Of the
affectionate respect in which
Hayes is held by his party.
Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1880-06-17

The Marshall tragedy involv-
es, it seems, a question ofjourn-
alistic ethics. Hon. w. S. Cole
man, who was killed, was one
ofthe most prominent members
of the last Legislature. He was,
says the Houston Telegram, a
professional politician. a local
question was being discussed.
Coleman had been advocating
one side and suddenly turned
over, advocating the other side.
The question was one involving
considerable money. The edi-
tor of the messenger criticised
Mr.. Coleman's action, and even
went SO far as to charge brib-
cry. Coleman, armed with a
pistol attempted to make Jen-
ning', editor Of the Messenger,
retract. Jennings also had a
pistol; the result is known. The
official acts Of a public man
or public officer are legitimate
subjects for newspaper critic
ism.

The Austin Statesman Says
Web. Flanagan has always had
the reputation of speaking his
mind right outin school. When
a resolution was presented to
the Chicago convention by a
Massachusetts, delegate, re-af-
firming the party's devotion to
civil service reform, Flanagan
opposed it and declared his be-
lief in the doctrine that, ITO the
voters belong the polls" and
exclaimed, what are we here
for except TO get offices for
ourselves ?" which was greeted
with shouts Of approval from
the floor as well as from the
galleries. and doubtless more
fully expressed the sentiments
of the convention than did the
modified resolution passed to
get it out of the way, after the
portion Of it proposing a prac-
teal attempt to defeat civil SER
vice reform had been cut out.

AsUgGEsrIoN.

The San Antonio Express
throws cold water on the indie
pendents by saying:
"Some regard Gen. R. NJ. Gano as the
coming man to lead the independents in
this state; that is, if the Independents show
disposition to beled. The trouble with
each and every one of the Independents is,
hewanis to do theleading himself"
The Jefferson limp started
the Gano boom a few days ago;
it is a greenback paper, and
would do anything to,beat the
democrats. The BANNER thinks
the independents should be en-
couraged. Texas has a score
or two of pliticians who would
no doubt be willing to immediate
themselves upon the alter of
