"THk industry of country is the corner
stone of a nation"
HANCOCK is a British agent in disguise.
Give him black eye, boys, at the ballot-box'
"AND we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes
marching home again" lChorus by the Aus
tin Hancock quartette.]
GAN OUNCE of fact is worth pound o,
theory" Free trade is theoretical; protec-'
ton is practical common sense.
THE "Houston Post" copies our article on
the stranger" without credit. Its all right
our smart things look fresh and good in any
shape.
A DECATUR special says Of 1reland's speech:
"His arraipnment of the Davis administration
was scathing." Coke's arraignment OF Ire
land discounts it.
DEAN SWIFT gave the watchword to Ire
land in 1862. "Bum everything that comes
from England but her COAL" We say to
Irishmen vote against the Golden club candl'
date for congress, John Hancock.
In REGARD to the McLeary- Griner affair we
will state for the benefit of our democratic
contemporaries throughout the state, that we
have no disposition to fan it by replying to
their pointless squibs at the LIGHT.
IRELAND was once a prosperous, happy,
powerful country British free trade. tore
down its manufacturing industries and tram
pled on its liberties. The Irishman who votes
for Tohn Hancock dlshonors the sad history
of his country.
IRELAND was never completely put under
the heel of British government until her manu-
featuring industries were crushed by British
free trade. Put that in your pipe, Pat, and
smoke it. before you vote for John Hancock,
late of London, and honorary member of the
Golden club.
THE "London Times" once stated tina,
sthe only time England could utilize the
Cells is when they emgrate to the United
States and voted for free trade" Let nc
Irishman, whose eye falls upon this sentence,
dishonor himself by casting vote for John
Hancock, the Golden club free trader.
THE EVENING LIGHT has stood by the Irish
cause, from the first day it was published 1T
has never failed to put in good word for poor
old Ireland and her down trodden people.
We now ask every Irish reader, and every
reader, of Irish blood, to compliment the LIGHT
by casting a vote against John Hancock, the
British free trader.
BEN BUTLER said in speech ten years ago
"There are l, Goo, 900 Irish citizens in thi:
country who will work, vote and fight agains
any policy in which England may be directly
or indirectly interested" If this be SO We
want the Irish in this congressional district tc
vote against the Golden Club candidate fol
congress-John Hancock.
THE American citizen who may be lullet
into the belief that the introduction of fire.,
trade 10y which the present industries o
America would be destroyed) will benefit thi
country. should pause in the midst of his the
cries and investigate facts from Irish history
that at one fell swoop reduced people and
country from prosperity to indulgence ane
poverty.
In certain small town in Mississippi Their,
is good opening for horse doctor, but h,
must be a democrat Galveston News.
John Hancock comes near filling the bill =
he has mule sympathies.
We have often heard Gov. Stockdale, ant
from first to last, and regard him to-day a
one of the greatest orators Of the day Vic
toria Advocate.
This is not intended for sarcasm, but
sounds like it. The incident that happene'
a, the last meeting the Gov addressed, tn
Hancock club of this city, may justify the as
ser,ion however,-he put a man to sleep il
five minutes by the watch so that he fell GU
of the window and came near being killed
Daniel Webster never did that
