Republican Charges of Democratic Cor

Republican Charges of Democratic Cor
ruption In the South Verified.
For years the Republicans have
pointed to Louisiana as an example of
Democratic corruption and misrule in
the South. They have claimed that the
State was rightfully Republican and
have charged that it was held by the
Democrats only through the grossest
fraud and bulldozing. In 1876 the Til
den Democracy made systematic at
tempt to steal the electoral vote Of the
State, and, though they drenched it
with innocent blood and loaded the bal
lot boxes with bogus votes, the country
was then saved the disgrace of being
raided by party which had succeeded
by such means. BY the same methods
in two presidential elections since the
Democratic party has carried the State
and handed the stolen property over to
the National Democratic Mandelbaum,
and II has been accepted without q
word OF protest, though tainted with
fraud and wet with the blood Of the
loyal voters OF the State.
At last, by the aid Of these stolen
electoral votes in Louisiana, and others
gained by similar means in Mississippi
and South Carolina, the Democratic
party thrust itself into power and the
division of the National loot began. In
South Carolina and Mississippi the DEM
ocratic Confederates were wise enough
TO know that a quarrel among the pro-
scribed Is certain to lead to the de-
struction OF the whole organization,
and they discreetly determined TO di-
vide and remain silent But in Louisi-
ana the number has been too large for
the booty, and hence split and two
factions. In distributing the National
spoils Mr.. Cleveland has recognized
one Of these factions, and the other, in
its anger, Is telling what II knows of
the methods Of its rival Mr.. James ID.
Houston, . prominent leader Of the
State Democracy faction. Is one Of the
first witnesses to take the stand, and his
testimony Is terse and TO the point
Senator Gibson has been regarded as
belonging to the better class Of Demo-
Gratis In the South, though he has not
hesitated to accept political honors
which he knew were disgraced by
fraud. But OF the corrupt use Of money

ton, however, asserts as follows: II dis

after liberal and judicious use OF
money. know this from the fact that

election as Senator was brought about
by the same methods" Further, Mr..
Houston declares that he stands pre-.

have now been before the public four

ex-senator Jonas has made any denial
of their truth.

public will stop long enough for them

Ark, and of course I feel identified with many people in that county, although am now in the Lone Stal State. am taking four papers, and the DEMocRATsis the first one to De called for by wife and children, as | always brings ns some news from the county where so many Of our relatives and old friends live. want to say to your many readers, through yvur paper. that am we'll pleased with Texas, and expect to make f my future home in this life, but 2 man that has a good home in old Pope, should know where he is going to light before lie jumps. We have some good society here, and some rough people, just like it IS else. where. The temperance cause IS on boom here and are working hard to keep it SO. Iheard it said, be. fore I came to Texas, that vegetables and fruit could not be raised here to any advantage. Peaches do well here; apples, I think could be grown to an advantage if care was given the trees; garden vegetables are the finest I ever saw at this season oi the year. Potatoes (sweet and Irish, cabbage. beans, bects, onions and the like, are said to grow to perfection and Tn abundance, and from what have seen and experienced in the way of eating vegetables this spring, I think it must be n good country for gardening. The crop prospect is good so far. Wheat in this par, of the country IS fine, and if not in jured by the heavy rams, which have been falling recently, think we shall have an abundant yield. It is only 9 or 10 years since the Indians quit scalping the white people ir this part of Texas. I close by say, ing success to the DEMOCRAT, and best wishes to all my old friends m Pope. J. w.

 Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The time for the meeting of the County court for the purpose oflevy- ing tile taxes for the year 1885, has been extended to the 4th Monday in July, instead of the 1st as formerly. Justices of the Peace composing the court, will please note the time.
 Newly elected school directors have until within ten days after the 18th Oct. to qualify and file their oaths in the clerks office. All d. rectors hold over till their successors are elected and qualified. Persons elected to fill the places of those holding by appointment, can qualify at any time after notice of election. Special school taxes are paid direct. ly into the county Treasury by the collector. It takes about per cent to collect and disburse the spec ial school fund--three to the collector and two to the county treasurer - there has been about $S,550 collect ed and paid into the county treasury on account of special school fund for the year 1884. To this add about $300O on account of Poll tax, and about $5,600 which we will receive from the State apportionment fund, and we have over $l7,000, received from the taxes of 1884, for school purposes.
 Yours truly,
