DIR. Brooks had said In his speech that
he rejolced in the fact that he had fought
to destroy the Union. and thanked God
he had not stopped so low as to commit
the SIN of voting the Republican ticket. !"
Now, we dare say that Mr.. Horr lies,
maliclously lies, as is and has been prov
en- here and elsewhere. Any sane man
knows that DR.. Brooks nor any one else
would indulge in such nonsensica! Ian

The trouble with Horr is. he and his par

trying to make prohibition republicans
believe that Mr.. Brooks ia q terrible un-

you can't doit. D..
Now read the affidavit of man who

The system of canvasslng the state of
New York, inaugurated by S. j. Tilden,
has been carried out by the democratic
managers there according to the Albany
Journal, and they are anything but satis'
fed with the result. A second canvass
was made but with no better result. The
closer the CANVASS the more general was
found to be the opposition throughout
the state to the free trade ideas and mes.
sage of the president. Urgent calls have
been made for changes in the federal
off1ceholders of the state to help them
out of their critical position. They are
finding Grover wearYing load.

/ Horr's Speech.

It Is as much the work Of q good poll.
tician to be able to see the points on one
side Of the question At issue 90 It Is to see.
those on the other. II the preponder.
ance Of evidence tells = person TO decide
this way rather than '.that," still lie
can not throw out all the reason antayon.
istic to- his views, unless he can prove
them false. Even, the Democrats are be.
ginning to see the untitness Of an unfair
decision. When q gifted orator comes
before the people and gives his reasons
for his opinions on the great national
question Of the day. all those who listen
must either accept or reject. It they ac-
cept his argument as true, 1t Is because
the reasons presented are consonant with
the enlightenment Of the persons mind
who accepts. If they reject they should
have a reason for the doubt that is within
them, and should reject by presenting
their reasons SO that the people may de-
eide which is right. .,..., ,...... &"
To take any other method of refutatlon
than logical argument is to insult the
people by implicitly stating that they
would be incapable of understanding the
reasons If presented. Simply because a
person is SO gifted that he can present to
an,intelligent audience the right side of a
question so truly and clearly that they
see the Righteousness of their previous
opinion and laugh, is no fertilization for
those not capable of understanding the
thing to call the speaker buffson. Yet
this is what was presented to the Demo
Gratis through their official organ last
week IN this city. OF course the article
was copied. Persons can copy when thew
dare not utter the sentiments rs their
own. Thinking Democrats are disgust
cd at the paltry attempt. on the part of
their paper, to laugh down what they can
not with reason refutc. 'e.~. ,l,>~
When the great "Horr's Speech" was
ended thinking democrats sa,d THAT was

said I'VE now see the falacy and folly of
the policy which we have hitherto ex.
pressed" That the Democrats are a
failure in answering Mr.. Horr was seen
on the evening of the speech in the way
the two democrats got done up who
tried to talk nonsense with man.
MI. Horr had u pleasant way of speak
ing, which, with his ready wit, wonderful
humor, logical manner and great com
mand of facts, enabled him to deliver the
gr&ndest speech eyer presented to an Aus
tin audience. 49,.
Some persons are incapable of deep
thought and onlv see the surface. They
Judge tina: where there is a laugh there
must be clown, so they proceed to call
MIR Horr clown. .
There is no reason nor fairness in the
statement and We merely mention it to
show how insignificant IS the Austin
Democrat IN point of editorship and
what wrong impression they have that
thew must SANDER anything, right or
wrong, if it is labelled. REPUBLICAN,.

Interesting Correspondence.

We print the following letters, part OF
the correspondence between Gov. Hill, Of
New York, and a political friend In Kansas.
The Kansas gentleman while In Washington
was rather careless with the letters, and we
are informed that as printed they are sub
stantially correct. II Gov. Hill, however,
prefers It, the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN will
print verbatim copies of the originals II the
governor will furnish them.
1t appears from the correspondence that
Gov. Hill thought on the 18th Of June last,
date after the celebrated New York eau
Gus, In which he agreed to support Cleve-
land for second term, "it may possibly
hdnspire that may yet be a candidate"
This correspondence must convince the
President that the Indian chief was about
right when he exclaimed "White man
mighty uncertain" The President is in
the saddle, holds the reins, and will win the
race for the nomination by putting the
spurs to the old Democratic mare, and
placing plenty Of feed In the trough.
