shame and disgrace which the negro
lenders and many OF their followers
brought upon il, met with the most en-
thusiastic approval of our patriotic Re-
DuOlicans in every section Of the state.

political agitation prevailing at the ap-
p-Uaching election, and the hesitation on
The part of many prominent Republicans
in Texas to lend their in influence and per-
sonel effort In behalf Of the movement,
though heartily in accord with 1t, for the
reason of their having participated In the
