POLITICAL PRESCRIPTION.

Texas Democracy the New Know-Noth-
ing Party-No Foreigners Need Apply.
SAN ANTONIO, September 10, 1886.
Editor SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
Again the old political party OF human
slavery Is consistently at work in Texas.
Ii is not the "blaCk man" alone that now
catches the blows, but tue "foreign
born" citizen comes in for the wholesale
pros criptiOn.
The old know nothing party OF 1866
lives again to-day in Texas; but now its
talismanic name is democracy, and 1t
does its fatal work not with bugle, drum
and sounding resolves as attempted in
those past days, but as silently as night
IL works into and through every state,
district, county and precinct democratic
convention in Texas and leaves its in
dellible mark.
1t is true we do not hear the shouts
OF American shall rule America"
NO office so small that for
eigner can fill it," "GOod-bye,
damned Dutch;" "get out Paddy"
farewell frog eating FRENCH" adieu
Aztec;' down with the pope and Arch
bishop Hughes" Yes, when the work
of a Texas democratic convention is
done, where Is the "foreign born"
tail? Not much.
Mr.. editor, IL you find any fool to de-
ny or question the truth OF this pro-
scription OF all our ''foreign born" pOpu-
ulation, by the Texas democracy, you
send him to democratic headquarters,
and instruct him to look over the pro-
ceedings OF the late demo cratic mob In
Galveston, and note II he can find that
any one in that vast assemblage, named
or thought of naming foreign born
citizen for any place of honor, trust or
pay. No. sir. Let your fool examine
the proceedings OF the eleven congress
siOnal conventions, and the 100 or more
district and county democratic conven-
tiOns held in Texas this summer. In any
or all OF these conventions how many
"fOreign born" citizens have been nom
mated for district judges, district attOr-
neys, state senators, members OF the leg
islature or county officers? None, no not
one. Where is the Teuton Pfeifier?
Where Is the Aztec Benivades? Swept
out with the force of tornado. Now,
Mr.. Editor, set your fool made sensible
by the facts, to ciphering, and ask him
how long will 1t take this human slavery
party to deprive our 'foreign born" cit.
liens from voting; and how long after
that until every foreigner will be slave,
II this human slavery party, the demoo-
racy, shall dominate this state.
A few days since in the largest county
in Texas, one DR.. Iandell, a great light
OF the Texas democracy, in democratic
county convention, forced through a reso-
luton democratic law) that no Mexican
should take part in the proceedings be-
cause he could not speak English.
TO deprive our Mexican citizen from
voting we will hereafter call Yandell-
ISM"
Now, Mr.. Editor, there are a few ma
tive born Americans yet in Texas who
met and defeated this know-nothing
party in 1856, and this writer gave his
honorable aid to such defeat, but we
now see the old leaders of that know
nothing party in power in Texas to-day.
John Ireland was know-nothing leader
in this section OF Texas In 1856, and he Is
Governor now. What are our ''foreign
born" citizens going to do about this
prescription? Continue TO vote the
democratic ticket? If so, we native born
republicans can stand the injury II our
foreign citizens can, and that is an end OF
it. But If our foreign born citizens will
come to the rescue and aid the republi-
cans to hurl this human slavery, know
nothing, democratic party from power in
Texas. then we can do Ii. Democracy
in Texas is human slavery, Republican
ism is human freedom. Take your
choice. NATIVE BORN.
