". G. 7. U. DEPART MENT.
BOyc0tting our Organs.

A special effort is being made to
undermine our National organ,
the Union Signal, and our state or
gan, the FREEMAN. When one
thinks of the service rendered the
State Union, serving as its special
organ without price, keeping be-
fore the people its work and its
workers, making possible the sue
cess of both, one can form some idea
of the intensity of non-partisan
spleen that would discard the only
medium of communication between
W. g. T. U. workers.
Let our women think carefully
before they allow themselves to be
thus influenced. The animus actu-
ating the leaders in this move
ment will not bear scrutiny, and
the loss to the individuals and
Unions who refuse to support these
organs will be incidentally greater
to those who boycott them than to
the papers.

Unless the Temperance people of

such men as Warner Miller, the
Saloon will out.vote them in every

Until Christian men like Warner
Miller and Religious Journals cease

true Temperance men to vote for

Old Parties Blush

Following we give some of the
shameful election results, as we have
been able to gather them, on the
questions of vital interest to the
friends of the Home in its conflict
with the Saloon.
We give the Fisk vote, where we
have it, as that is reported in many
instances where our vote for Gov
ernor is not. The vote on the
Amendment can only be partially
given, as reported direct to the
FREEMAN and gathered from the
county papers where it is given.
However, there is enough to make
all hearts sick over the dastardly
political murder of q righteous
measure at the hands of two great
parties.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR Gov
ERNOR OF INDIANA.

Congl essman Alvin P. Hovey, who
was unanimously nominated for gov
ernor of Indiana by the republican
state convention, is a native of that
state, having been born near the city
of Mount Vernon September 6, 1921.
He received his education in the COM

constitutional convention of Indiana
in 1850. The year following he was
elected Judge of the first Judicial dis
trict of his state and held the office
until elevated to the supreme
bench of the commonwealth
in 1854. He was the president
of the democratic mass convention of
Indiana, in 1866. The following year
President Frank Pierce appointed him
United States District Attorney, He
held the office until President Buch-
anan removed him, as he was Doug
las man, and appointed the Hon. Dan
w. Voorhees, in his stead. Running

defeated. In August, 1861, he was
appointed Colonel of the oath regi-
ment, Indiana Volunteers. April of

NOMINATED UNANIMOUSLY FOR Gov
ERNOR BY THE DEMOCRATS OF
GEORGIA.

General Gordon's nomination for
Governor OF Georgia is equivalent to
his election. This is the second time
in which he has been the unanimous
choice Of his party for the leading Of
flee in the state.
General John B. Gordon was born
February, 1882, and is a Georgian

be the rising military genius of the
confederate army. He was wounded
in battle eight times.
He was the democratic candidate
for Governor in 1868 and 1872, was
elected United States Senator in 1878,
and reelected in 1879, and was distin-
guished for his eloquence and leader
ship in that body. In May, 1880, he
resigned to give attention to his rail-
road interests. General Gordon is a
man Of great force of character and SUI
perior executive ability.

WANTS A STATE TICKET.
An Old Republican has a Word to
Say TO His Party. The Neces-
SHY of Instant Action Set
Forth
BENTON, August is, 1883,

Forth.
BELTON, August Is, 1883.
Editor LIGHT:
/ have seen nothing in our state
papers lately about the probable
nomination ofarepubllcan state ticket
at Austin. The committee of thirty
three, appointed by the Fort Worth
convention, are 10 meet at Austin on
the 18th inst, TO nominate such q
ticket. But we frequently hear men
opposed to the democrats, and some
of them republicans, express them
selves as opposed TO nominations. /
trust the committee will all be on
hand at the proper time, prepared
without discussion as to the propriety
of such action, to put ticket in the
field. The republican party is grow
ing in this part of the state; immigra-
ton in part is effecting the change;
but many are being influenced by the
discussion of the tariff and other is
sues, that divide the two great par
ties.
| think for one that it was unfortu-
nate for us that a ticket was not NOM
mated at Fort Worth. The commit
tee, however, can in measure remedy
this by the nomination now OF men
suitable for the republicans to sup
port at the presidential election. We
can not expect to carry the election
this year, but with the disorganized
classes of the democracy, and the pro-
hibition and union labor parties in the
field, the big democratic majority in
Texas will be largely cut down. There
never was apparently so much disaf-
lection among the people on political
subjects as now. While we can not
rely on this disaffection to give us
control of the state government, we
should take advantage of it to show
our strength and be prepared to give
the enemy battle.
In 1884 the Republican vote of Texas
was over ninety thousand. Would it
not be safe to estimate our vote this
year at one hundred and twenty-five
thousand? If this estimate be correct,
a party of such numbers should not be
ashamed to show their colors. Our
principles are right, our cause is just,
and we believe with John A. Logan,
if we are not too timid, we shall yet
see a Republican majority in Texas.
Yours, J. p. OsTERHoUT.
