THE LIGHT has no special candidates
or delegates before the Republican con-

that Ex-Governor Hunt, Of Laredo, and
Hon. Hal l.. Gosling would be excellent
material out of which to make two dele
gates at large to the Chicago conven-
ton. They are both men who represent
the party in its truest sense and who are
not influenced by any rings or factions,
and whose abilities are unqusstioned.
II they should go to Chicago they would
go directly in the interest of the Repub-
lican party and its policy in the South,
and would be able to give wise counsel
TO the party leaders ms to its future
welfare and continuance. These two
men the LIGHT would like to see go as
delegates at large and 1t hopes the con-
vention will decide that they shall repre-
sent Texas in that capacity.

Ex-GovERSoR DICK HuBBARD speaks
Of the future of Texas as follows: "Our
State is entering upon an era of unex-
ampled prosperity. Galveston invites
the grain tonnage Of the entire West to
be brought to her gates for foreign ship
ment. The export trade is just waking
up to the fact that Galveston is 800 miles
nearer Kansas City than New York is.
We raise now one quarter of the cotton
crop of the United States. In a few
years we shall double our present pro-
duction. Manufactures are springing up
on every side. We shall get the cream
of the rich trade now beginning to flow
between this country and Mexico. We
used TO spend 100000 year in pro-
tecting our frontier. That money now
goes toward the endowment Of free
schools"

liz ANSWER to the question of what par
ticularly startling thing did he observe
during his recent trip to Europe, Henry
George, the author of progress and
Poverty" who is now in New York,
said; 1.-THE fact which startled me most
was the vast amount of land in this
country being bought up by foreigners.
The names Of the great English lords
purchasing thousands of acres at time
have been made public, but this is moth
ing to the constant drain going on
through smaller purchases. We are
selling our future Americans into slavery
and are importing all the evils of
absentee proprietOrship.n

"Injustice to Mr. Logan"


1t is sufficient answer to the low, dirty
filings against Gen. Logan, published under the
caption in Saturday mornings FOS to say that
In 1858 and 1859 he was full-blooded demo-
crat, and as he never does anything by the
halves so in his fcalty TO his party and the
laws Of the laws of the land he "wcnt the
whole hog In carrying out democratic prin-
cipleS and in enforcing law enacted by
democratic congress.
The democratic doctrine in those days was,
ns well as the democratic practice in these
lntter days, TINT "a cOlOrcd man has no rights
that white man is bound to respect"
But the firing upon our nations flag at SUM
ter was too much for John A. Logan. He
became convicted OF the sin of belonging to
and countenancing party the carrying out Of
whose principles produced such result. He
experienced change of heart, was thoroughly
converted, and since that time has stood forth
as the champion of equal rights before the
law to all men, the consistent advocate of free
speech, IL free ballot, and Il fair count.
F1tcEs famous cartoon OF Logan associated
with Lincoln. sumner &C., properly under
stood, IL one OF the strongest recommendations
for Logan, showing, as 1t does, the difference
between Logan rs slavery democrat, III 1855
59, and Logan as candidate for vice president
on the republican ticket IN 1884.
No, no, gentlemen of the democratic party of
consistency, purity, reform, and morality,
don't trouble yourselves about John A. Logan,
nor think TINT your miserable attempts to cX-
cite u suspicion among 'the boys in blue" In
particular, that he will slight them, will
anilnus of his opponents, And at the polls in
November they will show their hearty appre
citation of him by such q vote as will cause the
cOppeIheads TO sneak back into their holes and
hide their Shiny heads forever.
