POLITICAL.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Enthusiasm of Texas Democrat
Dampened by Tilden's Letter
of Defamation.

FoRr WORTH, Tex, June IL.
The democrat State convention reassembled
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. j. ID. Sayres was made
permanent chairman and the speakers all de-
clared the tariff issue to be the great central
feature of the coming contest.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that a
tariff for protection is unconstitutional and
unjust and conflicts with the genius and spirit
of free government. The present tariff is
denounced as a scheme for the protection of
monopolies and masterpiece of injustice
and false pretense. Ii has destroyed Amerl-
can commerce, diminished the profits and
returns of American agriculture and enslaved
American labor.
The resolutions say: ''While we favor the
education of the masses BY every legitimate
means yet we consider the educational bill
pending in Congress as an unconstitutional
and dangerous encroachmeDt of the right of
States and is another grand step towards the
Capitalization of all power in the federal gov
ernment and the destruction of the republic,
A resolution was passed declaring Tilden
and Hendricks the choice of the democracy
of Texas.
Governor Richard Hubbard was nominated
by acclamation.
After midnight, in the midst of balloting
for delegates at large, Tilden's letter OF
decination, addressed to Manning, was read
before the convention.
Prior 20 this movement the convention had
been wildly enthusiastic for Tilden and the
.'old ticket" and the letter chilled the con-
vention. 1t is probable that the resolution
endorsing Tilden will be Withdrawn and the
name of Thurman substituted.
1t was after one o'clock when the conven-
ton adjourned until one o'clock today.
The convention adopted resolutions IN
structing the delegate to use their own Judg-
ment regarding the presidential candidate.
