THE STATE DEMOCRACY.


The unterrffied of this state, with
the consciousness that to nominate 10
Office was equivalent to an election,
met in state cOnYen ton at Dallas at
$3.50 a. nj. yesterday. Pending the
completed report Of committee on ere
dentials, committee on organization
was left unheard and Judge Hancock
on deep water, without committing
himself to any particular pOIu on the
coast, but came out strong in favor Of
the Panama canal. Speeches from
Terrell and Bailey were called for but
none were forthcoming. When the
time came for nominating officers
Horace COtes, of Wood county, was
made president, and VIII Lambert, Of
Austin, secretary
The question Of platform was decid-
ed in favor of the majority report to
which the signatures Of the chairman
and secretary of committee were at
tached. The minority report was
signed by Messrs. Robinson, Gresham,
,Searcy, KiIe, Knight, Brown and
Dodd. and differed from the majority
report only in demanding a cOnstitu-
tional convention for the state to
make needed changes in the organic
law. This minority report received
votes, yea, from BeXar county and II
from Travis, but was defeated upon
the call of the ayes and noes by vote
of 456 to 1886.
The platform is by no means an
original document. 1t contents itself
with affirming its devotion to demOc-
racy: endorses the St. Louis platform
most heartily; expresses qualification
over the denomination of Grover
Cleveland; congratulates the country
upon democratic rule; affirms all Texas
to be heartily in sympathy with the
Mills bill, and cOmmends the Texas
delegates in congress for standing by
Mills in his congressional work; APP
proves most heartily of the present
administration; and, asks for Texas
mining and irrigation laws, such as
will tend to develop her resources,
with such railway legislation as will
restrict railway and freight companies
from imposing charges beyond rea-
sonable interest upon money actually
invested. Along with this platform,
the committee recommended two resO-
lutions submitted to them, one, calling
upon the next legislature to pass laws

ted at the Fort Worth deep water con-
vention and pledging the democracy

therein enunciated.
The nominations for state officers
were not completed when the conven-
ton adjourned at the close of the
second days session. Hurt and
White were nominated for judges of
court of appeals after sharp contest
with Mari, McLane, Phelps, Wilson
and Cleveland. Ross was nominated
for governor and HOgg for attorney
general, by reclamation. Mccall
went through as slick as grease for
comptroller. and there is likely to be
a stiff fight over the balance of the
offices. The convention amused itself
by passing taffy resolution during the
unting of the ballots of which R. Q.

1t is certa My significant of the sit
uation that the democracy Of this state
has not dared to make an original
declaration on any question coming
before the people. They have cut the
hair as short as that of prize fighter
and stand completely within the
shadow of the national platform max
ing not even ghost of shadow for
themselves. 1t is significant as show
ing how completely the party has lost
its individuality, and has surrendered
for the campaign to the domination of
Cleveland. When old democrats like |
Ireland and Burgess, in confidential
court house chat, characterize Cleve-
land as q man who has forced himself
upon the party to its detrlment, and
has in himself no redeeming qualities,
his wife being the only good thing
about him, and evince no respect for
his qualities, no confidence in his
S tatesmanship-when the leaders in
Texas 50 speak in their hearts what
can be expected of u convention, but
that it will swallow the dose prepared
at Washington labelled democratic
at st. Louis, and while they hold
their noses, swear by all the gods of
politics that this is the true demo-
cratic doctrine.

How far may member Of a pro-
tective club engage in political mat
tiers, as a member of the democratic
party? This is the question fairly
sprung by the action of the democrat
ic convention of the 10th COngressi0n-
al district in its recent session at
Austin. That this is true is album
dainty verified by the Times Of this
city in its editorial query of yester-
day:
I'm the light Of the remarks of Hon.
Oscar BergstOm and others, who de
nOunced the Protective club,yestedray
at Austin, suppose member Of that
club seeks admission into a democrat
ic convention, then what? The Times
asks for intOrmatiOn.'
The LIGHT leaves the Times and
tine Express TO settle this nome ques-
ton between themselves. 1t is pure
Nv a family matter and does not con-
Germ the republicans who will put a
candidate into the field. concerning
whose position Oil all questions there
can and will he no question. In the
convention which dominates J. ID.
Savers antagonist it can be put down
as good political gospel that there
will be no censure of The Protective
club of San Antonio.

three years ago. I had suffered
much with a sore throat for over a
year. I used a great many other
remedies with no good results. My
little girl, also, had sore fingers; it
commenced from the quick, and then
the nails would come of. We doctor
ed her for over two years, and when
I began using S. S. S. l thought |
would see what it would do for her.
I am thankful to say that it entirely
cured her. It is the best remedy I
know of for the blood. I really be-
lieve it was the means of saving my
life. The doctor told me I had a
throat disease similar to General
Grants. I cheerfully recommend it
to all suffering from disordered blood.

Editorial in n. Y. Times, Ind. Rep.l
Declares for Cleveland and Thurman.

For the working out of the reforms which
the Times believes to be the chief issues OF
our politics the Democratic party. with It's
present candidates, is the ''better iastru-
nent." to use Mr. Tldea's expression. It's
candidates are ineomparsbly superior to
those Of the Republicans, and the announce
ment of purposes with which it enters the
contest is more satisfactory, and in respect
to -. ',rninant issue is firmly right when
tns 15:.4r : hooelessly wrong. As regards
c::r::::: sew . corn, though we have had oc-
cas:oz Il c,ltic:se toe present Admiaistra-
i;o-: TX some Of it's errors and failures, we
Eve greater confidence in Mr.. Cle7elend's
sincerity and fidelity than IN the written
professions of party whose leaders are IN
able to speak of the reform without a sneer.
The Times will give Cleveland and Thurman
its hearty support, and will do what lies In
its power, and it is not commonly an lnact-
i've newspaper in Presidential contest, to
make their majority such that there will be
no doubt a5eut it the morning after the elec-
ton.
