Words of True Democrat and

w OrQS OF true DemOCraC ana
Honest Patriot.
Tothe Editor of the Statesman
Referring to an article in yesterdays
Dis patch signed cold Democrat" in
which my defeat before the convention
was alluded to in manner calculated to
prejudice my friends against the demo
cratic ticket, l take this method of in
forming my friends and the public gen
orally that do not in any sense approve
the sentiments of that article. Whether
my defeat was accomplished by fair or
foul means, majority of the delegates
did vote against me and that settles it.
Fealty to the party, as well as the best
interests of the country, now requires
every old and every young democrat to
support the ticket.
The ticket, as nominated, shall have my
unqualified support, and l urge upon
every one of my friends to yield that
ready support to the ticket which our
allegiance to the democratic party de-
mands. As soldiers we never questioned
the valor of our standard bearers, nor in
quired into the manner of their selection.
1t was sufficient to know that our banner
had been unfurled and every true soldier
rallied to its support. The democratic
banner has been unfured in Travis
county; hence, duty and honor demand
that every true democrat should rally to
its support. d. n. ROBINSON.

A Fugitive's Queer Hiding Place.
The STATESMAN yesterday morning con.
tanned brief recital of a row down in
Guytown, wherein one Sam Morris, col
ored, sailed in and beat one Sarah Bunton
after the most approved Senegambian
style In vogue in that classic precinct.
After the performance, which was highly
satisfactory to Sam, he left, and the off
GERS failed to capture him.
Complaint was made against him yes
terday, and warrant for his arrest was
placed in the hands of Deputy Constable
Brown.
Brown at once put out on a voyage of
discovery, and located his man on the
premises of prominent citizen living
out north of the capitol, for whom he
worked.
10 question, a son of the owner of the
premises said Sam was in his room, and,
pointing it out, Brown entered, but failed
to see Sam.
He looked under the bed and Sam was
not there. He searched the room care
fully and there was no Sam.
The officer was nonplussed, for he was
certain Sam was somewhere in the room.
There was large trunk in the room,
doubtless provided by Sam to take along
IN possible tour of the lakes and other
places Of interest during the summer.
He may be in that trunk" thought the
officer and, raising the lid, sure enough
there was Sam with his ears aud heels
comfortably coiled up and carefully stored
away.
He was fshed out and carried before
Justice Tegener, who held him in 800 to
answer to the charge of aggravated as
sault. He gave the bond.
