LIEUTENANT GovERaoI MARTIN b fosiIios'
The assertion made concerning the agrs-
cultural and mechanical college IL mace out
OF almost whole cloth, and grossly mlsrep.
resents Mr.. Martin. so, also, does ,he
statement made in reference ID free schools
and the colored people. The records OF the
constitutional convention show that Mr.
Martin was leader OF bare one-fourth mi.
nority who contended TO The last for as'roDg
free school provision in no constitution,
and his legislative record IL consistent III its
advocacy OF free public education ana IT'S
support, both for black and white. In oil
| his twenty.hv years OF public lille Mr..
Martin has been noticeably strong friend
| 10 the colored people. and here in his fwn
| country, where he has helped to brild
| churches aud echool-houses for them, they
always vote solid for him. AS TO the stock
men, being as much Of stock man as
farmer himself 1t is hardly probable tnat
he could have oppos. -. their interests AZ he
WAS made to do BY the News. Mr.. Martin
does not sndcrse Governor irelrnd's nero
law ideas. but believes herd law can not
be forced at once. His idea Is to make 1t
local option leaving counties or distr cts TO
regulate the matter as the popular senti-
mept dictates. The same thing may also
he said of his remarks about lawyers: The
News carried him to the extreme, when 1t
In known that he has many warm personal
and political friends among the lawyere.
Mr.. Martin Is not a class man in any sense
and lis record proves this. AS to his can.
didecy, II rests in this positions He Is not
prepared, not IL II his intention, to force
The issue. In every county In Texas Mr..
Martin has number OF strong friends who
would not only like TO SEQ him governor,
bnt wonld make an sctive canvass to secure
his nomination If they were perfectly salts
fed It would be agreeable to him. The
Courier feels authorized in making public
ths fact that the friends OF Mr.. Martin can
rest assured any legitimate efforts they may
make TO secure his nomination will be APP
prcciated. But he wants it distinctly I'M
derstood that he is not antagonizing Gov
ernor Ireland or any class. His own merits
must win or lose the place for him.-ICorsi-
