This week celebrates the first anniversary Of
its establishment, and while we appreciate
the favors shown us IA new institu ON, we
feel that the successful results Of the past year
can be attributed to the principles laid down
at the commencement, and which have never
been deyiatod from, viz;
First-Striotly one price.
sccond-ENchanging goods not satis-
factory.
Third - Rofunding money paid on
goods not satisfactory or not as repre-
sentcd.
Fourth-Employing only polite and

THE CONVENTION CRITICISED.

HoUsToN, Texas, August IA, 1886.
To the Statesman.
In an editorial paragraph in yesterdays
STATESMAN, you very properly inquire II
the endorsement of President Cleveland
by the state democratic convention, en-
braced his anti-silver position. Such
stupid toadying and tame servility is just
what ails the democratic party to-day.
OF course the convention meant to swat
low him whole. even if they had to grease
him with taxed butter. If it is the pur-
pose of such conventions to voice the SEN
timents of the people, that body certainly
voiced a lie in thai endorsements. The
western and southern states are q
unit against silver suspension; and If the
democratic party has any solid reason
vhv IL should not consolidate with the re-
publicans, or any Distinguishing features
about it at ali, they are opposition to
protective tariffs, to the national banking
system, and to the restriction of silver
coinage The writer voted for Cleveland.
