on the streets q few minutes ago
that the chairman had said the democrats
were trying to break up this convention,
but see nothing of 1t. We have never
been treated better. In my county of Gal.
weston We have seen democrats trying to
break up republican neeti gs, but they
were led by republicans who had grown fat
for twenty years in Federal offices, and
those men try to come here and prostitute
the patronage OF the government to their
own benefit. When the report of the com.
