CLARKrS PRONUNCIAHENrO.

Hon. George Clark has written pri-
vate letter to Hon. james q. Vincent Ct
Meridian, Tex, which has found lts way
into the colun ms Of the Gslveston-Dsllss
News, In which he tx presses his fears
that the ProhibItionists are going to cap
ture the Democratic prims ries, elect
members Of the Legislature and SO on.
His Information from those who ought to
know, he says, lesds him to believe that
their purpose 10 to cap ure and dominate
"our" party organization, dictate It's
policy, nominate and elect It's represen-
tstives, especially Its members of the
Legislature, and thus place themselves In
position to accomplish indirectly some
portion Of that which they so signally
lost in their direct appeal to the people
last year. And this is being done Sc
cretlv, By laying plans for she future
supremacy Of their pet idea, and while
scheming for power and ven
geance. Mr. Clark is much txar-
cised over the matter and sounds 8
blast upon his busle horn summoning
the faithful to rally to the defense Of
''our" party, and those who so gall
lantly saved the Democracy from the
"heresy" Of prohibition - in cluding,
doubtless, Cochran, wsde, and tie solid
vote OF the "blsck belt"-are commanded
to buckle on the bsyonet once more and
prepare for the conflict. OF course 1.-THE
gravity OF the question elevstes IL above
all personal considerations, and the
Hon. Warwick comes out boldly and
solely for the pure love Of sour" party,
without even as much as casting 8 way
ward glance at that impending struggle
between the highlsnd stsgs, which is 80
graphically pictured By the Examiner,
and in which only the "iDsep.rabie horns
were left TO tell of their deadly conflict I"
