Sayers so far that, disregarding the ex-
press action of the convention, he placed
Mr.. Btlknsp's name upon the ticket,so dis
tri uted and so voted them. The votes of
the Cedar creek box are very conclusive.
In 1884 Judge Rector received 147 votes;
Msjor Sayers, lie. Judge Rector is per-
soma ly we'll known and popular with all
classes in this county. He re
reived the full and enthusiastic
support of the republican party. In
1886 Mr.. Newcomb received 1877 votes and
Mr.. Savers 103. Mr.. Newcomb was in
dorsed by the republican conventions. In
1888, while Mr.. Bslknae was not Endorsed
by the republican convention, while the
oolored people of the county deeply re-
sented his votes against Blame and
against Rector, his vote was l6S, aud that
for Major Sayers 81. This increase for
Belknap was due to the active work of
Wicks against Mr.. Sayers. The STATE
ment that Mr., Sayers or any of his friends
contributed TO the election of Orange
Wicks, directly or remotely, ia q wilful
falsehood. This reckless editor further
ssys that Major Sayers is especially solic-
itous 20 divert public censure from the
head and shoulders of Orange Wicks. The
difficulty occurred on Thursday, the 18th
inst. The prosecuting officers
had caused no affidavits against
Wicks to be made, not deeming
the evidence sufficient therefor. On Sun
day at the suggestion of NJ. Sayers, CON-
plant was made and warrant of arrest
issued tor Wioks who is now confined in
the county jail. The Dispatch further
says: "The major takes warm interest
in protecting some OF the colored citizens
of that lawless aud turbulent section"
As becomes law abiding izen when
the lynohiog of unarmed men in the
custody of the law was limited at, he, in
common with hundreds of others includ-
ing the very friends end relatives of the
murdered man, protested against it be-
lleving that punishment should be ad-
miuistered in Bastrop county by the
constituted authorities and not at the
hands of armed mobs.
These facts have stated not by way of
defense of Major Ssyers, for he is too we'll
known to need defense at the hands OF
any man, but merely to expose a wicked
and unwarranted libel containing not an
element of tru'h.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Thar day night about IL O'Clock, when
no sound was audible in The STATESMAN
composing room save the click of the
type and the resonant hum hum of the
proof reader, the monotony was broken
by the appearance of Mr.. Nyvsl Wilson,
bearing before him huge can of ice
cream and large tray of cake. 1t was

social gathering in their hall on Ninth

that we here note our negligence in ac'
knowledging the treat, and assure the
Order on behalf of Mr.. Wileon that the
cream was received, and that the whole
force suspended work TO partake OF the
same, which was excellent.

TO the editor of the Statesman.
The evening Dispatch of the 18th inst. b,
contains an editorial attack upon the
Hon. 3. d. Ssyers SO ms,iciously false
that it requires notice, however unworthy
the soRrce from which it originated
Eeeh statement OF fact contained therein
is false in every particular, and in reply
ing thereto 1 speak entirely of my own
knowledge. The Dispatch says that
Wicks, the colored justice, who, it is
charged, is largely responsible for the
recent murders committed at Cedar creek,
helped to elect Major Sayers to congress
in his recent contest with Mr.. Belknap,
the republican nominee, and in return
therefor Major Sayers made Orange
Wicks justice of the peace. The fact is
that iWicks bitterly opposed Mr.. Sayers
during the entire campaign and was the
most ardent advocate of Mr.. Bel
KNAPP in the county. On election
day at Cedar creek he worked actively
against Mr.. Sayers. Because Mr.. Belknsp,
in 1884, had voted egaint Mr.. Blaine and
Judge Rector, the republicans of Bastrop
county refused to indorse him, and the
convention of last year ordered that the
place for congressman on the republican
ticket be left blank. Wicks, as chairman
of the executive committee, was sent TO
Austin TO have tickets printed for distri
button. He carried his opposition 70 Mr..

as the family of James Hall, of the Fifth
ward, were preparing to retire, they
were startled with the ring of the door
bell, and upon the door being opened
were agreeably surprised at seeing for
ty or fifty of their friends prepared for
a nights enjoyment waiting for admit
lance. The party was cordially invited
to enter and make themselves at home,
which they did with will. No time
was lost in preparing the dancing hall
and placing it at the disposal of the
visitors. The enjoyment then COM
menced in real earnest, and dancing
and feasting, interspersed with card
playing and vocal music, were kept up
until the break of day warned the mer-
ry crowd it was time to take their de-
parture, which they reluctantly did,
with the conviction that they had sell
dom, if ever, passed a more agreeable
night. ONE WHO ATTENDED.
