| To the Editor EVENING LIGHT:
Frank Lubbock, our fat, sleek, treasurer.
has been called on to contribute his mite to-
wa1ds the present CAMP aign. Possessing all
the qualities necessary to make him fit COM
panion for Judge Terrell, the Hancock COM
mi'tee decided to let him say his piece in the
10th congressional district. He and Terrell
we're great captains during the late war, the
only difference being that Terrell did snuff the
battle from afar, and Frank wrote proclama-
tons to the beloved people of his state, i. e..
the Shareholders and the rich planters, whom
! he gallantly advised to burn their homes and
! crops, except sufficient to take care of them
selves and their beloved and faithful slaves.
| This naughty little Frank had the Courage
to advise the burning OF the city Of Galveston.
to prevent the yankees" from capturing it.
| Neither advice was needed. and Frank
waxed wroth; SO, for the purpose of showing
| his pluck, patriotism and general financial
ability, he entered into financial negotiations
with certain great banking houses and capital
lists of England.
The notorious White & Childs contract he
made for cotton cards at the exceedingly low
price OF - 90 pair, must yet be fresh in the
memory of the poor men of this state. These
cards were 20 be paid for out of the $1,000
900 y. 5. bonds, then in the hands of Texas.
| These bonds were virtually the property of
the children of the state, but were delivered
in advance to White 4 Chilus for the cards to
be furnished.
Mr.. frankie. stand up and tell the people
OF Texas the truth, remember you ere on the
witness Stard; how many of them cotton cards
were received by the governor of Texas, and
how many were paid for by you!
| ~ your hooks were not carried off BY Ter
rel to Maximillion for safety. from the yankee
vandals, little private speculation on the
part Of friend will no doubt appear.
| How many OF these bonds were returned to
Texas, but before their return, how MANY
bonds aud coupons had been used in Incl
dentais!
| Would it not be in order to have you tell the
people OF this state the particulars of your lit
lie contract with banking firm of Austin, BY
which several hrndred thousand dollars of the
| school fund were sent to England, a portion
Of which was recovered by Ex-Governor
Davis?
Honest frankie, swollen with your self i'm
p"-:ance, your record is too short. You al
most equal the toad in your self estimation.
Your hnancierlng in later years, your assist
| ing IN the sale OF Texas bonds at about eighty
cents on the dollar and buying them back for
the state at SI.4o, is a matter you will be held
aSSoen'aoie LOT Dy the people when Wash
homes becomes the governor of this state.
You may hiss and howl over the acts of
your letters during the days of reconstruction,
but when people become cool and compare
your acts, As, l, Frankie K. Lubbock, gov
einor OF the state of Texas, by the grace OF the
poor dispised downtrodden Con federate SOL
dier, and become fully aware of ycur hypo-
crazy and va, ity, you will have to step down
and out.
| History will point With scoIn at your NAV
craven acts and tho people will wonder how
such montosy was ever peimittedto dis
grace the executive chair once filled by Sam
HOUSTON FATS.
