but anything to make confusion in the
ranks of the Democracy.

NOTES.
IfWash Jones would pledge himself
to vote for Blaine, he would undoubted-
ly be nominated or endorsed, as it is it is
doubtful, although bitter fight will be
made.
Leader heads faction which declares
that if the majority endorse Jones with
out such pledge on his part, or fail to
put out a straight ticket, they will re-
main after adjournment and put up g.
straight ticket.
The white Republicans present form
an exceptionally intellectual body.
The proportion OF whites to colored
is about as two to five in favor of the
colOred.
Chairman Rosenthal presides with
dignity and efficiency. His rulings are
prompt and decisive, but always tenn
pered with wisdom.
The colored delegates to this conven-
ton are of vastly superior order to the
general run of colored pol
itcians.
Col. j. F. Brady, of Houston, Is a.
probable candidate for Governor. 1t Ia
queer, but last night all the Federal
oflice-h holders were for endorsing Jones.
To-day they have. completely turned,
and are for a straight out ticket.
Gen. Malloy arrived from tie north
with instructions, probably.
The Republicans had u grand torch
light procession tonight. About seventy
five whites and 100 negroes were in line,
II was the biggest turn out of the kind
Houston has ever seen.
Judge Evans, Col. DeGTess, Hon.
Rosenthal, Hon. Wright C1ney, Coi.
Leader, Col. Brady, Mccoy and others
addressed an open air audience Of about
Z, 200 at the market house square.
