NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Written for the LIGHT.


First-What is our republican state
executive committee doing, are they
dead or alive?
Second-Did the republicans ex-
haust their energies and patriotism,
when they met at Fort Worth and
| sent delegates to our national cOnven-
tion-is it the only purpose of repub-
licanism, in Texas, to place them
selves in line, to catch federal patron
age in case Harrison is elected presi-
dent.
Third-Has the republican party in
Texas any machinery in the several
congressional districts to put candi-
dates for congress in the field
if so, what is that machinery doing,
and why not moving?
Fourth-Has the republican party
Of Texas, in force, any method to
bring forward candidates for the legis-
lature in the several districts-if so,
why are not those methods utilized?
Now, if our state central committee
is not dead, let them meet and organ
ize themselves and the party for the
campaign. If the committee is dead
or has fulfilled it's mission, then it
should declare the fact and pass out;
but if not dead and have
not performed their functions
and do not intend to do
so, then resign; but if the committee
is alive, and intend to do their duty,
then they should meet and at once is
sue a sharp, crisp political circular.
First calling upon every republican
in the state to contribute literally to
a campaign fund to pay for the print
ing of circulars, tickets, campaign
documents, etc.; first providing a
treasurer to receive and disburse said
funds, and providing also for full
published statement of all funds re-
ceived, and the specific purpose to
which applied.
Next, demand that the party
machinery, in each congression-
al district and in each leg
islative district, be put in motion and
a republican candidate developed for
such district.
In the next place, name in the afore-
said circular that it is expected of
each presidential elector to make a
thorough canvass of his district, and
in case of Discrimination or failure to
do so, then that he resign and let his
place be filled by another.
In said circular name the
fact that charges of corruption
exist against delegates from the
southern states to the national con =
vention at Chicago; and appoint a
committee. of honest men, to investi-
gate the conduct of our Texas dele
gates to that convention, and especi
ally those delegates that voted for
General Alger, and if found corruptly
acting, in that convention, imfamize
or exculpate them as the truth may be
found.
In the next place set forth the facts
that the individual name of each
Texas republican, that fails in his
duty to his party in the campaign;
or attempts to sell or give his
party outn to the democracy or
other faction, for office or money,
shall be faithfully recorded at ma
tional headquarters. And lastly, if
our central committee fail in these
things, then that every honest repub-
lican in Texas send his contribution
to the national committee with clear
and distinct statement that the Or
ganization of Texan republicans is for
the sole and corrupt purpose of grab
bing upn the federal offices in Texas
in case Gen. Harrison is elected, and
give the names of the cattle and ask
that no patronage be extended them,
even if democrats should be re-
tanned.
Let us have an honest party or none
at all. REPUBLICAN.
