The speeches OF ex-governor Hub

affairs in the south, which appeal to

the voters Of the pivotal state. Gov.
Hubbard bears in his person all the

helped to bring Texas out Of the
depths Of her poverty at the close Of
Che war into her present prosperity.
He speaks with authority. He brings
messages from the most important
state in the south. He d%isproves by a
mere recital of the acts Of the legisla-
ture of Texas that the colored man has
been or is treated with injustice. He
speaks, moreover, with eloquent &C.
cent and pathos. His homely
eloquence has all the grace Of
