ent party that ever existed in our his
tory. He then said he defied any
party to produce a better record than
that Of the Democratic party in Texas
for the past ten years.
The speaker said the party had
made some mistakes that q mistake
was made when the policy Of selling
lands in the West in unlimited quanti
ties was putin operation, but that that
mistake was made in the interests OF
the people; that all political parties
made mistakes.
Referring to the free-grass agitation
he said that some Of those who threat
ened to bolt the party were backslid'
ers from the Republican party and
wanted some excuse to get back, and
that though Wash Jones promised no
plan OF salvation, they followed him
in the blind faith that they would get
there. Mr.. Gibbs said that the
constitution of 1S45 laid the founda-
ton of the school system by declaring
that the lands should be sold; that in
his first session in the legislature he
was the only man who introduced o
bill to sell lands to actual settlers
only. Continuing he said ~ don't
say the lease system as it stands is
right, but I think the principle is
right. The people are entitled to n
revenue from those lands and the
lands should not go into the hands
of monopolists. A limited lease with
the right Of the settler to purchase is
worth fair trial" He thought that
the great mass Of the people should
sustain the law as against 10000
men and few newspapers which
oppose it.
Referring to the late convention, he
said: II have never believed that,
with proper amendm ents, the lease
law would retard settlement, but If it
does it should be repealed entirely.
The late convention said in its plat
form that this lease law should be
given fair trial, and that the over
whelming sentiment Of that conven-
ton was in favor of the actual settler
first and the school revenue second. :
The speaker then spoke of how the
line riders had controlled the lands
before the lease system had been
inaugurated, and believed the lease
system was an improvement on the
old policy. He said that the matter
had been thoroughly ventilated among
the delegates to the late convention
and that the free-grass men there saw
how overwhelmingly was the senti-
ment in favor of leasing the lands;
that they had been treated with every
consideration which a minority could
could expect.

The number OF all these opponents
is small, but their wealth is great,
and it will be unscrupulously used.
An active and vigorous campaign
must be made against them. Their
paid advocates must be met and
defeated in debate upon the platform
and in discussion in the newspapers.
The organization Of all who are
opposed to them must be perfected
in every State, city and county in the
land. Money is needed to do this
honest work. Your committee, refus-
ing to adopt the methods by which
the Republican party fillsits treasury,
calls upon all good citizens for the
aid which it requires.
It invites, and will welcome, con-
tributions from every honest man

contribution will be accounted too
small. Wherever o bank, banker, or

Address OF the National Democratic Com.
HEADouARTERs national DEMOCRATIC }
COMMITTEE, IL WEST 24Ta ST., =
New YORK, Sept. 22d, 1884.
TO the People Of the United States
The National Democratic Party Of
the United States has pledged itself
to purify the Administration Of Public
Affairs from corruption; to manage
the Government with economyj to
enforce the execution OF the laws and
to reduce taxation to the lowest limit
consistent with the just protection
to American labor and capital,
and with the preservation of the
faith which the nation has pledged,
to it's creditors and pensioners.
The open record of the man, whom
it has named as it's candidate for the
Presidency, has been accepted by
thousands of Independent Republi-
cans, in every State, as On absolute
guarantee that, If he is elected, all
these pledges will be exactly fulfilled,
and that, under his administration,
good government will be assured
To secure these results all good
citizens must unite in defeating the
Republican candidate for President.
His story and political methods make
it certain that his administration
would be stained by gross abuse, by
official misconduct and wanton ex-
penditure OF the public money, and
would be marked by an increase OF
taxation which would blight the hon
est industry Of our people.
Against us, and against those homo
rable Republicans who, for the sake
Of good government, have made com
mon cause with us, notable combina-
tions have been made.
These are chiefly made up Of four
classes.
First. An army Of officeholders,
who, by choice or compulsioD, are
now giving to Republican committees,
as parts OF the campaign fund Of that
party. monies paid TO such officers
out Of the public Treasury for services
due 10 the people Of the United
States.
Second. Organized bodies Of men
who, having secured by corrupt means
the imposition OF duties which are IN
excess Of all sums needed for the
wants Of the Government and for the
protection Of American labor and
capital, and having thus gained enor-
nous wealth, are willing 10 pay
largely 10 the Republican campaign
fund for the promise Of the cOntinu-
Ance and Increase Of such duties which
constitute q system Of bOunties 10
monopolies under the false prstenss
Of protectioD 10 American industry.

might be made.
There now exists many defects in our

management of our city affairs, still
there are many branches of business in
our city they do not (nOr can they be ex-
