The Queer in a Nemsnancr.

Editor Gazette:
In the Galveston News of the 5th
instant appeared q lengthy editorial
headed Democratic Indictment
Against Democratic Statesmanship,n
which, on account of the harm such
sentiments as were expressed, when
widely disseminated, may have, calls
upon us for response in behalf of
that common-sense jud gment which
should be courtcd and coveted TO pre-
vail among the popular masses. To
make the more Ineligible what we
have to say, we shall present portion
OF the editorial referred to, that the
reader may contrast our opinions with
those of the writer for the News, viz:
Again and again In these columns has
Democratic craftsmanship b. en- urged to Le-
ware of DISASTROUS consequences, net only TO
the party. but To preci us lnteres 8 Of the
state, If that st tcsmaush p fni ed in admin.

to provide for the largest number of actual
settlers and homestead proprl.tors: If IL
failed to consult the spirit OF the clause In tho
state constiiutio which declares that "per-
petuities and monopolies arc contrary to tn
genius of n free government, and shall never
be allowed;n IL IL fn led to guard against the
growth OF any thing IL the nature OF IA cxas-
p rating system of corporate liant monop ly
under the laws OF the state; and II failed To
equip the state government with all the exec
utiYe requirements for the enforcement of the
laws for the protection OF fe and pro erty,
and for the maintenance OF ptnc" and order.
And now who are hose who are foremost In
ALLEGING all these failur. s? They are EN-
