remarks from the Tyler Courier, ana
the Terrell Star, referring TO him, to Ihe
following effect:

Grcenback paper in this city, and who
succeeded IN gulling and misleading
Grccnbackcrs In this section, was ~
Waco the other day and wrote u promi-
nent Republican of this city n letter, IN
which he stated that he vas done with
the Grucnback party, and would. sup
port Blaine and Logan. The Courier III
sisted all along that Withcrs was not II
Grccnhackor, hut II Republican, ANA the
Courier was and Is right courier,

IsIRN ION IN THE SOUTH
Ladies' and Genilcmcn:.
These are the grandcst momentsof my
life. II is n great pleasure, gratifying
beyond my powers OF expression, Tor me
To meet this vast audience OF intclll-
gent, educated Americans and inter.
change ideas on the questions involved
in this Presidential contest.
The Lone SIar State, Texas, is my
home. II Is a beautiful. enchanted, SUI.
ny southland, where many, tropical
fruits grow; where flowers bloom ana
blossoms expand their folds every
month in the year. On her broau plilis
and wide bottoms grass grows luNuri-
antly, and the domestic animals live
and fatten without any attention or fos-
tering care from man. This would mp
pear to DO the ideal home OF h poor
man. But alas! IL is not, n more
oyertaXed people, and Il worse monopoly
cursed State, for its aye, cannot he
found. 1t is needless to tell you that
this beautiful southland, this land of
blossoms, flowers and long horned cat
tie, is controlled politically, by the Dem
ocratic party:
! devoted to this party, two years oil Ia
Dor, in an editorial capacity, besides
many dollars in money. But in 1881,
BENJAMIN, whose surname is Butler,
poked this party Of principles in his
%trouser pocket, HE'D himself away to
Chicago and endeavored to cram the
whole concern in the hip pockets of the
Democratic corps. Doubtless, Benjamin
thought ii would have II most deilclOus
flavor by the close of the Presidential
campaign. At once recognized Tue Ut
ter futility and hOpelessness of this
party; at once ! recognized that this act
would drive every Republican-Greon,
hacker back to his old party. Then and
there | ceased to be Il GreGnhaCker, to-
day, ! am II Republican, believing it 10
be the best party in the ma,
ton, defending its platform and
advocating tor President, the nonni-
nee of the party, James Giles
pie Blaine. Let me now state TO my
former Greenback friends that this Pres
idential canvass does not involve a
question of full legal tender greenbacks
VS.. bank currency; it is not Il question
of none or Il circulating medium VS..
untayed bonds, but aboye these, high
above these, rises tLc issues Of this caIi-
yass.
Shall the Republican party, the party
of purity, loyalty and political consist
ency, control this Government for the
next four years, or Il II he controled
by the Democratic party, the party OF
corruption, dis!oyalty and political III
consistency? Shall the Republican par
ty, the party which has protected the
manufacturer, the laborer engaged in
factories, the producer and farmer, each
i'm his equitable American rights, man
arc our Government for the next our
wears, or must it be turned over to TINS
free trade Democracy, under whose pol
lev factories would close, and laboring
men of America would be reduced on q
level with the poems of Mexico, the scris
of old Rome, or the villains II paupers
of the old world?
Shall the people of this proud and free
America takea man with a pure and
statesmanlike record, with thirty yeas
of public life, with positive outspoken
opinions on all the great issues before
tie American people? Will the people
accept for the Presidency this polished
scholar, James &. Blaine, or VIII they
take Mr.. Cleveland, with but an men OF
public record and thar inch smeared all
over with acts of crookedncss in favor
of rings, monopolles ana corporations
and a man with no decidedly o~utspokon
views on n great issue before the peo-
pleS
Wtll America set q noble example be-
fore the youth and rising young men OF
our country by selecting MIR. Blaine as
the next occupant of the White House
with n noble, pure-hearted wife to pro
side oyer it, with IL family of loving
children, or shall our Executive Man
sion be bachelor headquarters tor the
next four wears? On these issues IL takei
me but Il moment to decide where
stand. | am tor the party o
puritv. patriotism and political liberty
am for the party of advance
ment, progression and protection. L an
| first, last and all the time for that pol
ished leader, James Gillespie Blaine.
In reality there is not a Northern
Democratic State. Indiana and New
York did cast their electoral vote 10
! Mr.. Tilden in 1876, but think they nav
long since repented in sack-cloth ant
ashes. Then the Northern Demo
rraI is not actuated by thu
same motive or controlled by thu
same sentiments as his brethren in tn
south. l do believe in thesxery inner
most recesses of my heartthat if tn
pure-minded, liberty-loving Democrat
of the North could have the mask tori
from his Southern ally, exposing his IN
ward corruption, rottenness ana polltl
cal infamy; that solid = n%or pem,I,
rIard i'm this State in November. M.
