THO STATEMENTS.

Ina communication to the Evening
Call OF Wednesday Mr.. ]. 81. Jackson
made this statement:
~ not only do not belong to such Or
der, out do not know OF any such order"
In THE GAZETTE Of yesterday morning
there WAS printed this statement:
"Lsst night Mr.. j. c. Martin came to
THE GAZETTE ofice and said he had 8
statement 20 make. BE said: Il have
read Mr.. j. 81. Jackson's denial in the
Call to-day. The order Of Vide ;tes does
exist in every sense of yhe term, and Mr..
Jackson is mistaken in what he says. He
Is laboring under an hallucinatior, and
Mr.. Jackson knows it exists"
Mr.. Jackson should have made an his
davit. An nidsvlt is more emphatic and
binding than 6 statement, and, perhaps,
less likely to provoke denial. An. sfl IA

THE Videttes have an existence in
Texas and Tarrsnt county. They are an
organized military politicsl jintc, and
dictate the action Of all parties opposed
10 the "o'd parties" If every place On q
state or county ticket is not given to 6
Vidette, 1t is an omission for policy's
sske. This is the fact demonstrated by
the Kansas exposition Of the order, and
It is the i.ct demonstrated by the Texas
exposition Of che order. In Kansas, the
very proceedings Of the Vldestes were
printed and demonstrated the Vidette
control OF the Union Lsbor party in the
Sunfower state.
