- Acknowledgement Templeton is in the
city receiving the hearty cOngratula-
tons of his friends.
In conversation with ucn:i"mAl re-
lating To the Houston com cusion, he
asserted that an adler body Of delegates
meyer aSscnIbiod within She State. The
convention throughout was Il singularly
harmonious one, and 1t voiced The Scntl-
ments of the vast Democratic party OF
Texas. He ridiculed the idea that dissen-
sion prevailed after its adjourn
ment, and was of the opinion that the
ticket nominated would receive the full
support of the party in the State. He de
MED the published statements Of the
Gazette and other organs that q species
Of bulldoZing was attempted on the free
grass delegates. They We're treated
With the utmost consideration, and
would heartily support the ticket, in his
opinion. He said that he had held con-
VerSatiOns with Mr.. Groomc, Mr.. Bent
lev, and Mir. Houston, the leading free
grass delegates present, after adjourn
mont, and received assurances from
them that the ticket would suffer no lax
| ity of support i'll the northwest, but
would poll the full Democratic vote in
that section. Mr.. Templeton believed
that, even in the event the Republicans
endorsed Wash Jones, Ireland would
roll up much larger vote than he did at
the last election. He argued that Ire
land had established record
against which no complaint
could be urged, and had proven himself
wise, conservative and patriotic Off
cial. He thought a mistaken idea pre-
vailed among many, relative to the
position occupied by the Democratic
party on the Jesse law. AS that instru-
ment appeared, but few people could in
dose it. 1t was first effort, and could
not be presumed to be correct. The
party did not indorse tho pres
ent law, but was IN favor OF a
school fund caa derive revenue. a
modification would have to be made by
which the best interests of the whole
State would be augmented. He, for
one, was not opposed to the actual set
Element of our vast western territory,
but thought such a thing was impossi-
BILE at the present time: He stated
in the Panhandle and adjacent regions
were totally unfit for and not
at all adapted to the purposes of farm
ing. The soil was barren and sterile,
and could only be found in the most
isolated places. The hnsbandman
would naturally object to ''pitch his
tent" in such locality, for the effort
ests. And then, too, he remarked, the
laws of the State protect
the actual settler in his rights,
even now. Every lease that is at
present granted bears upon its
face stipulation that it is at all times
subject to certain privileges OF the State
such as sale, protection Of land sold,
etc. He thought the next Legislature
would so modify the lease law as to rem
der it acceptable to- every interest OF the
State of Texas. Mr.. Templeton is salts
fed that Texas will be the banner Dem
ocratic State in the confederation
commemorative.
Sheriff Maddox has discharged his
brother deputy, James Maddox, for tax
ing part i'm the exhibition shooting Sat
urday at the Driving Park. His friends
say James did nothing wrong, and think
he should be taken back.
