Al the Republican State Convention of Texas
which met yesterday at Austin, Governor Il. j.

ecutivc Committee, after reading the call, ad-
dressed tho convention as follows Z" want to
say few words in addition to what have read.
Many gentlemen now members OF this conven-
tion will recollect that in the convention which
met here two years ago, for the purpose OF So
lecting delegates to the National Convention,
took substantially the ground have in this
call as regards Independent action. / recon.
mended then that the Republicans In convon.

delegates TO the National Convention. l

the secession Democracy, by the Independent
movement, of the Bourbon leaders and their
newspapers calling upon the Republicans TO
stand firm to their colors. lApplauso.l We
lind the Democratic press all over tho state of
Texas--the secession buldozers, who, when
Republicans have been willing to 60 and vote
they were in majority, colored though they

Galveston, was elected temporary chairman
On taking the chair he stated the object OF the
convention to be the adoption of tho best pol
