Iodny only lOoonls And W. are living under
slvI government and not n military tea.
poflsfn. True, We iavH police force today
lut they arc Gentlemen who do not violate
law as did the Davis police who robbed aud
You to-day have laws Of your
own choosing
You HAyE rH0srEniTY
YOU have liberty under democratic rule.
Why arc yOu not satisfied? Surely II can
be nothing more than desire Tor u change.
But aiasl independontsm and grecnbaok.
ism arc only serial steps toward the lap OF
republcanism.
And We have magnificent
BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION
here, mean by this our well.en-
forced laws, our prosperity, our
good conduct. Go throughout the state and
you will find immigrants pouring into its
DO rders because they know they are wei
coined here, and will be protected like other
citizens. We want good class Of citizens
and they are coming, not the worthless and
the cast-oils from other pisces.
We do want
FREE SCHOOLS. .
Our present tree school system is not per
feet, but we are improving, The fund foi
he next year will give us four months
chooling out of the twelve. Amend youl
constitution and give US more
money, and l, far one, vii
gladly school the children longer
II you give us money enough for l.
months, shall be thereby happy; but un'
der the constitutional clause as now exist
ing we cannot have desired length of term
Your free school funds consist of the inter
est on the permanent fund, the interest on
the school lands sold, and poll taxes and
fourth Of the general revenue. But as
it is, we are now restricted by the constitu-
tional clause. The proposed amendment
will be submitted next year to the
people, and whatever they shall say
l will cheeriully conform to.
| think too we ought to have
UNIVERSITY,
but the fund TO build it is yet lacking and
/ am not in favor OF diminishing the public
free school fund for that purpose. Give us
the'last in preference. Yet we are now send
ing from Texas from $500, 600 to 5000, 900 per
annum for boys to 60 to other states. We
want an institution commensurate with our
prospective greatness. In twenty years
from now we will send from 20 to IS repre-
sentatives to congress, and, then other
states will bow to Texas for her support.
Men are now living who will see Texas con-
tain ten to fifteen millions of people. Then
give us university equal to the occasion,
but not unless we have the money for IL:
Here the speaker explained how the idea
got out that he was opposed TO unlvers-
ity, which occurred upon the occasion of
Dir. Currys lecture in AUSTIN
We are told that
OUR LAWS
are all wrong; shat the jury law
is wrong. This is an appeal to the
black man. Now there never was better
jury system than Texas has. They say we
Cypress the colored man. This is false.
The statement that the old stakeholder OPP
presses him is vile SANDER. And to day
the black man wants the white man to try
his case as a juryman. You greenbackers
go out after strange gods, like Weaver and
Peter Cooper, the former who has been run
off from his own country and he is paid
political adventurer. All, you want
FIAT MONEY.
Weaver says there Is now no such thing.
But Jones says we have fiat money, and it
is according to him, the best sort. With this
YOU propose to redeem the whole bonded
of the United States. Do this,
and cotton will bring $500 bale and hogs
$50 EACH and so on, but the money would
be worthless. But you have no right to
pay the bondholders with this fiat money.
10 this. 1t is not honest. l am in
'avor of paying the bonds, but we must
wait until they respectively mature. |
know law was passed TO pay the bonds IN
,oin, and then silver was done away with,
which left only gold tor the holders in the
scheme Of robbery aSd plumber by which
the people lost some 5000 100000.
We are opposed as party to
NATIONAL BANKS,
and desire that the government should
issue direct what notes may be required
above gold and silver for the
needs of commerce. Pay the public
iebt, and the basis of the national banks is
gone. Suppose Colonel Jones should be
elected your governor, what act would he
lone in your interest? i think he would
stick to the men who put him in place, or
he would prove recreant to his promises and
his supporters.
as 5000 democratic majority, shall
we send up TO the north, the word
that Texas is going backward while
hose states in the north, notably Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania, are marching
forward You can roll up a majority IN
November of from 100000 to l25,OOO,
and so show that the people do not
propose to surrender this government to a
nameless party.
Our Galveston platform.requires that we
should regulate
THE RAILROADS.
l, have been called "nossback," "ox-
cart" sold fogy,n ETC., on account
Of my position while / was working for
your interests and caring for your purses.
In my early life true | was poor and had
20 labor two days in the week TO pay for
lie four days schooling received. Now, l
say, don't destroy the railroads, but regu-
ate them rightly. They are public insd-
.utions and the privileges they have gotten
rom you give you the right TO regulate them.
They are here, and the legislature should
enact laws as Just and as equitable as with
other corporations or with individuals,
There should be no discrimination oil rates;
require them to run on time; 10 make up
your shortages, etc, but do not cripple
'hese great institutions Of the day. You
require
JUDICIARY SYSTEM.
The present is very bungling and
expensive one. Three men ought TO
transact all the business now done by
nine Judges on your supreme court benches
II the system be properly adjusted.
Now, 10 revert again TO the Hubbell fund,
portions Of which have been sent 70 Texss,
Is said; but | don't believe IL Texans
,annot be bought, though they may be
gooed and won. 1t Is asserted that some Of

o congress and thus give the lie TO all that
Texas hiss said In the past OF that man.
nope You will send soms Of your talent TO
Hancock and Fnlay TO aid them in their
rood work.
And now,
As ToR YOUR GOVERNOR,
pledge myself 10 stand by every principle
announced in the Galveston platform, from
irst 10 last.
