LAMPAsAs, Tex, Sept. 10, 1886.
DEAR S1R:--Kindly send me the names
and address of several of the best demo-
cratic workers and speakers in your i'm
mediate neighborhood at once.
Endeavor to have the names of all dem
ocratic candidates kept before the people,
and see that they are properly spelled on
the tickets, when printed. When you
cannot procure proper speakers for your
public meetings, call, in time, upon the
chairman of your county committee for
assistance: Keep him posted regarding
the political situation IN your neighbor-
hood tell him in what the opposition
chiefly consists, and what majority your
precinct will probably give for governor.
When in doubt as to the best method of
procedure consult him, and he will do
what he can to aid you.
As general rule of action l would ad-
wise thorough organization, an active
canvass, with pure democracy as the
foundation, corner and keystone of every
effort. Endeavor to have the speeches
free from billingsgate, personal abuse,
and invidious discrimination, for or
against any special class, profession, avo-
are mutually dependant upon and inter-
ested in, the success of one another; but
enlighten and enthuse the people by a
clear, logical calculation of democratic
principles, and thousands who have been
misguided and disaffected and who now
stand aloof, or vainly seek relief in
other directions, will join us in an effort
for the betterment of all classes. Barbe-
cues and basket dinners, where the people
meet socially, are beneficial. They tend
to do away with that prejudice that comes
of exclusivsness, and they liberalize,
edualize and elevate the moral and intel
lectual tone of all who engage, with the
right spirit, in them. On such occasions
have the most intelligent and conservative
speakers that can be procured.
The large majority heretofore given to
the democratic ticket in this state is cal
cuated to cause feeling of over conf
dence, which is always dangerous. Josh
Billings quantity but wisely says, that
"the time to be the keerfullest is when
Won have hand full of trumps." Let us
guard with increasing vigilance our pres
ent strong position. Confidence in pros
pective success is invaluable so long as il
stimulates endeavor. When it ceases to
do this it is the forerunner of surprise
and disaster. Remember that you are the
Waterman IN your immediate neighbor-
hood, and success or failure may largely
depend upon your individual exertions.
If YOU are inactive, the community will
suppose that all is we'll, and will make no
effort to stimulate the people to go to the
polls and vote. On the other hand, if you
are enthusiastic and earnest in your work

THE TREASURER MAKES A FINE
REPORT OF THEIR FINANCIAL.

AUSTIN, Tex, September l, 1886.

AUSTIN, Tex, September l, 1885,
A. P. Woodbridge, Esq, president of the
board of directors of Austin public
schools.
SIR.-Annexed hereto, l beg leave to
present my annual report of receipts, dis
bursements and financial condition of tire
Austin public schools, classified under
schedules A. B. @. D. E. and F.
The reduction of the city school tax for
the present year from one third of one to
one fourth of one per cent will reduce our
income about $4,000, and is very unfortu-
nate for our finances.
Schedule "E" shows that we will have
but nominal surplus for payment of
debts or permanent improvements
The successful condition and general
popularity of the schools being well as
sured, IL becomes indispensable to build
more school houses as soon as we are
financially in condition to do so; and
these buildings should be constructed
with view to health, comfort and per-
manence.
would therefore earnestly recommend
that the city council be requested to re-
store the city school tax to one third of
one per cent for next year.
The strictest economy in expenditures
in of course imperative. Respectfully
submitted, WALTER TIPS,
Treasurer of Austin public schools.

In the throes of rheumatism, which has
reached the innammatory stage, the invalid
has just cause to deplore the inAlccncy OF
medicines which could neither uproot the
disease at its outstart, nor avert its dreaded
climax. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
medicine which, without the danger attending
the use of some of the ordinary specifies for
this malady, is infinitely more searching and
effective. Used at the start, II checks the pro-
gress the disease, and expels, or neutralzes;

LAMPAsAs, Texas, Oct. 4, 1886.
DEAR SIR:-The enclosed circular which
has been mailed to every precinct commit
teeman in this state, whose name | could
learn, will, to some extent, indicate the
line of action that 1 deem best during the
campaign. The large majority hereto
fore given to the democratic ticket has
had tendency to create feeling of over
confidence, and 1t will take vast amount
of work to convince the people that it is
imperatively necessary for them to or
ganize. l therefore most earnestly appeal
to you to devote as much of your time as
possible to speaking and working in the
interest of honest men, correct measures,
and an increased democratic majority.
Nothing short of an active, intelligent and
patriotic convass will stimulate the people
to go to the polls and vote. Please see
that every opponent of democracy who
speaks in your section is intelligently an
swered, and the truths and benefits of
our political principles are clearly eluci-
dated.
. This campaign is practical matter, in
which all are interested. Please do not
wait for special invitation to do your duty,
but create opportunity and make appoint
ments, and in spite of storm and wind
speak to the people and bring out the
vote. Your obedient servant,
HENRY ExALL,
Chairman of the Democratic Executive

They don't know the best is the cheap
est.

neighbours stock at good prices is a fool,
and the seller very lucky"

To which might we'll be added:
They don't conduct their farm on bust
ness principles.
They think that pinching and scrimp-
ing is economy.

ment is usually very dear one.
