A Historical Interview Notwithstanding

From the Houston Post.
Sik-Immediately aftef the Galveston con-
weston, the democratic leaders and press
mIie hase to announce to the people that ne
charges of mossbackism and bourbonism

as liberal, progressive and up to the spirit Of

Thus assured, the people had right to ex-

cussion Of he doctrines and policy set forth
in the platform, a. well Is the political views
of their opponents; and that the sectional
hatred engendered by the war, and the ami
