Gov. IRELAND.
Col. Tom Murray introduced Gov. Ire
land, who, coming forward amidst APP
plause, said:
Ladies and Fcllow-CitiZens:
No country can be far wrong when
represented by the splendid body, OF
womanhood | see here represented.
Women are the leaver that control our
civilization, and whilst not desired as
voters, we all know they can and would
teach the rising generation how TO vote,
how to act, and how to properly citizen
ize. 1t is Il solemn duty to teach
the boys and the girls to
be able to select their official
directors and to that extent, all people,
male and female, should he politicians.
Col. Murray had complimented him, by
saying his denomination was in the
cause of promoting good administration
for the next two years, because that had
been the effect of his administration for
the two years last previous. Whilst no
declining the compliment to vindicate
Col. Murray, he must say that no man
ever approached him, no letter was ever
written to him or argument advanced to
him, to indicate in any way, to show
that his denomination could be
aught but the free choice of the entire
people of Texas regardless of others am
bition. He never left his room at Hous-
ton or spoke to any about the nom
nation, and the talk about machine pol
itics was only from those who could not

applicants were before him for

That man is now on the tand-Col. Ed
Bower. Other considerations compelled
him to give it to some one else. Col.
Bower submitted gracefully and was an
active supporter Of his administration.
Two years ago he was opposed at Hous-
ton by a gentleman who had nothing to
recommend him but a desire to get the
suffrage of disconnected voters without
principles or platform. He hopes again
TO secure the support of Greenbackers,
and it is told that a man is to

commended for principle they were active,
