A Card to the Merchants of Texas

"A number of the large wholesale mer-
chants of Texas have for some time past
adopted system through their drummers
OF ovcr-soliciting, and thereby over-stock.
ing the retail dealer, and as soon as a paw
ment is not met, of running an attachment
or demanding "bill of sale" of their stock.
mus not only running many an honest
man, but forever blasting his credit, turn
ing, him loose upon the world, perhaps,
with "A dependent family, ut.
deriy bankrupt in purse and credit.
This system of snap Judgment
is not only unjust but illegal, and for the
protection of ourselves as well as merchants
indebted to lis, we have secured the
services of an eminent legal firm thoroughly
conversant with commercial law, and we
now say to all merchants indebted to us
should you be attached, telegraph us nj
our expense and write Immediately all the
particulars and should any merchant de-
mand a'bill of SALE" under no circum.
stances give it.
BE sure that there is no fraud in your
dealings, and ifyou are uniustly attached
we will see toit that you are amply indemni.
ned. Selling as we are. to almost every
grocery merchant north of Hampstead
there is never an attachment but we are the
sufferers. Hence, we are determined, cost
what II may, to put stop to this practice,
First, through the courts, and should we
fail here, then to try the legislature.
Respectfully, HuGuEs Bros. d Co.

bility and policy of the:democratic party
holding convention for the nomination OF
candidates for city officers to be
elected next month. Next week
the committee will decide the matter
finally. From all our reporter could gather
yesterday, there seems to be an inclination
with many Of the committee, perhaps a
majority, to make nominations. They say
1t is true that the officers to be elected are
not such that party lines should be drawn
for particularly, but in view Of the fact that
the general state election comes off this
year, party organization and discipline
should commence at once. There will be
meeting of citizens irrespective of political
faith, next Saturday night, to counsel to-
gether and oppose party nominations by
any political party.
