using the state printing Office political
blunder."
If Finlay had not been nominated he would
have crushed the democratic party. As it is,
he will be beaten.
How much did it cost Finlay to buy up
Russell! is the question to be solved by Gov
Stockdale's friends.
Terrell, d. h . of Austin, talks about the tariff
as organized robbery in favor of the rich
against the masses. If a. h. Terrell thought
so he would be for tariff.
Too bad: policeman" King was caught
stealing chicken off the state roost, just as
Ireland was holding policeman Davidson
for running away with $4,000
Terrell, of Austin, calls the protective tariff
"monstrous villainy"-its certainly mis-
take that this d. h. was not chosen by the
Hancock convention for congress.
The Waco Examiner thinks that the demo-
Gratis Of the south will favor prohibition, and
the republicans oppose it. The democrats
have now two prohibitionists at the head Ct
the state ticket.
The Waco Examiner says that Texas canno'
hope to escape the prohibition question, and
that in 1884 it will assume shape. If Ireland
is elected it may assume that it has assumed
shape. He joined the prohibition party in
1877.
IRELAND, it seems, goes on stumping il
over the state with no other capital to catch
democratic votes than abuse of Governor
Davis. John thinks it is 1871 instead Of
1882.
The nomination OF Finlay at Laredo is very
plain to any one who knows Finlay and Rus
self. Stockdale played Russell against Finlay
and was sold out by Russell, who would sell
out on any occasion-Stockdale ought to have
remembered Rnsselps bargaining and selling
at the Schleicher-Ireland convention.
King wanted to print campaign document
abusing Gov. Davis and got it done in the
state printing Office to save expense,-it was
signed democrat and of course ought to
have been printed at the expense Of the people
of Teras. Ireland had better stop on David
son if King can't do any better than $2I4o!
The indicator, printed in Blanco City,
has for its motto: "Charity, tolerance and
Iberalty," and yet it says mo democrat will
vote for Davis" and dismisses Col. Epson,
after his four years honorable service in con-
press, thus: $50 far as Epson himself is con-
cerned it makes but little difference what he
does in the premises" Its motto should be
''hatred, intolerance and illiberality," and its
name should be "Vindictive Star"
Terrell, of Austin, one of the late congress
sional dark horses who were SO badly left by
Upson refusing to 60 in and lock the conven-
ton and give them a chance, was recently
nominated for senator in the Travis district,
and forthwith pours out his wrath on Gov.
Davis. He makes Ireland pale into insignif-
canoe in the vehemence of his invective. Ter.
rell is a regular Falstaff on the stump, an out,
growth of the capital, political fungus, puff.
fly and fluffy, who would like to be considered
great man but is compelled to crouch in the
shadow of Hancock and other men of NOR,
talent and worth We leave him to the tende
mercy of Trigg who will skin his already bad
" punctured hide off him.
While Ireland is stumping the state ant
telling the people how Davis stole all tn
money, and that policeman" Davidson
actually stole $4,000, the state printing
board, the democratic state printing board
composed Of the II treasurer, secretary of stat
and attorney general have been investigating
the crookedness of king holds ex
actly the same place as Davidson did, VIII,
Ireland calls "a policeman" and it was dis
covered that king has used the state printer t
the extent of SCI 4o!-and the board fined tn
printer that amount,-who is the meane
thief after all. the fellow who robs your chicI
en- roost or the gentleman who carries off
rational bank! But the truth is, Davidsc
never got away with dollar belonging to ii
stale. but King did, but Moore, the Printe
had to pay it back. You see.
