Tie Recent Republican Resolutions
Terrell Topics of the Times.

Correspondence OF tue Gazette.
TERRELL, April Ian ex-Con-
fede rate and Democrat in the Terrell
Times Of yesterday accuses me of
upiustly criticising the resolution
inlrod uced by Col. A. j. Cropsy IN the
Republican county convention held at
this place Saturday, 2lst inst. The
Times correspondent says that he
"hus known Col. Cropsy for eight
wears, and knows that he had no
designs whatever and the resolutions
spoke his true sentiment" If my
special criticised the resolution at all,
the criticism was passed upon it as the
act of Republican convention and
not rs the act of Col, Cropsy. The
colonel is postmaster at this place and
a pleasant, obliging gentleman. Ii he
had no designs" in presenting the
state legislature should provide u
state sufficient to provide for every
disabled Texan soldier who has no
means of support then the resolution
was simply empty balderdash.
He says again: THE resolution is
all the more commemorate, coming
from the source it did" We can't
treat measure adopted by the unani-
nous vote of body as the act of an
individual, but it must be treated "a
the act of the body. AS the act of q
Republican convention, it does not
comport with the record of the party
in this state or in any other state
There are, 1t is true, many good men
D in the Republican party, and the Ter
: rell postmaster we consider Is one OF
them. There are many who, as indi-
vlduals, would not oppose such 8
a Measure, but "a said in my special, i
G n Democratic legislature had levied ,
i lax on property for such n purpose i
would have been heard ringing from
" the lips of very stump orator of tina
o party almost for all time to come, from
n Maine To California.
