Y1fE UNITY CONVENTION.

Elsewhere VIC publish q leLtef IIO1D Il
Reform Republican who was support
er of Garfield's reform policy before
Garfield was nominated and who labor
ed for his election vigorously and con-
cientiously. The fact he aims to set
forth is undoubtedly true, viz: that the
present county officials who were elect
ed on the Independent Ticket, were O.
riginal supporters and advocates of this
policy before the Chicago Convention
was held. In fact, they were elected
on this very Garfield platform year
before Garfield was nominated. With
the exception of the County Treasurer,
they were earnest supporters of Gar.
field in the last campaign. In short,
our correspondent means that the fight
which las been going on iii this county
for six or eight years against machine
control of the party and of politics, is
t.he very fight which was made in the
tCl6eago Convention and that policy
lis now the policy Of the Re-
publican party. The little band
cfSa;tlfHl men jn this county who have
made the fight here and won tWo years
ago, were few years in advance of tie
party generally.
II we understand our correspondent,
he means to say that the coming coun-
ty convention should recognize the Re-
publicanism of such men as Auditor
Mills and r. r. Miller and renominate
them. AS to their Republicanism, no.
body questions that except few ma
chine Republicans who read everybody
out of the party that does not run with,
work with, pull on, fall under, and wor-
ship their machine. Anybody. be he
Democrat, Greenbacker, or both OF
neither, who works with their machine,
is "Republican," but if he acts indc-
pendently of the machine, he is read
out of the party by these slate-makers
and machine engineers. Mills and
Miller were both earnest Garfield men
in the late campaign; both were federal
soldiers who served during the war;
lbotA have 4 twenty years record OF
1tepubtcanism and work for the up
building of tho party to back them, but
all this avails not with the machine
men, who were neither soldiers nor life
long Republicans.
OF course it would be a graceful thing
for the Convention, when it assemblies,
to rei,ominatc the men who have sery-
ed the people so well. They are en-
titled to another term as an endorse
ment of their faithful services and as a
sign that the people favor Reform Re-
publicanism. But we will wager pair
of boots that the people will have moth
ing to say in this Convention and that
a half dozen politicians will make the
nominations and run the Convention
rs usual. See if they don't.

Indicted for Embezzlemeut.

The last grand jury Of this county found
among other bills two against Mr.. WI.
Belt, formerly a citizen of this place, who
WAS at one time in the employ of Schneider
& Davis, wholesale grocets, in the capacity
of travelling salesman, charging him with
embezzIing funds of that firm. One lndct-
ment charges him with collecting
moneys from Mr.. Bragdor, CIebulne
merchant, to the amount Of $233 81 and the
other $500 from the same person, which
amounts the indictment charges he embez-
zled. For the past month or more Mr.; Belt
has been in California visiting friends at
Oakland and other points in that state. This
information will no doubt be great surprise
to his numerous acqusintsnces here
in Texas, for he stood exceptionally high
in the estimation of those who knew him,
and was popular here in the city. Deputy
Sheriff Spencer left some ten days ago
armed with writs for his arrest, and their
arrival here is daily looked for. Mr.. Belts
many friends feel confident that matters will
be explained and satisfactorily and honora-
bly, adjusted on his arrival

ern womtn and southern mtn,
wo quote again from the Tlme'
~ follows "ln tho north young boys

where tho narrow spirit Of locality and pro-
yiuoalism Is worn out by n constant friction
with diverse elements. The southern lad has
the benefit of no such wholesome surition.
10 goes into political or business life with bis
mothers nsrrowness and prejudces confirm
ed, intolerant of An opposition which seems
to call in question the infslibillty of the one
being that he loves and references. 1t is this
primitive training which explains the. help
leesneas of tho southron In politics. Mark
how quickly the well-equipped northern
member combsts and pushes to the wall tho
southron in debate. Men of half their
native force are able to rout the southerners
on the floor. simply through tho habit they
nave gained of looking at questions from
many points of view, while the southron
never sees but one. When the lads south OF

educational advantages as tho northern IL
until of late years u poverty brought upoA
him by means and in manner it is not
necessary to allude to here, has to some
extent deprived him Of this privilege. 1t
is magnanimous indeed, tits noble instinct
thlt prompts the haunting of the southron

it does. 1t may be disgrace, it may be an
evidence of weakness for man to 60 into

principles his mother taught him. and with a
love and a reverence for his mother that fills
up the full measure Of his soul, and tender,
fond recollection of all her affection, of her
care, of her counsel, of her devotion. This
may be weakness and folly, but southrons
will never get over it. All the progressive
ness that the northern lad may imbibe by
wholesome attrilion he is welcome to, if it is
to make him forget his mother, forget her
precepts, forget homo and the lessons there
