FELLOW REPUBLICANS:
The proposition made In our circu-
lar last September, to reorganize the
Republican party in Texas on the
basis: THAT all Repu blican primaries
| in Texas shall henceforth be conduct
ed and participated In by WHITE
| Republicans alone and exclusively"
and thus rescue the Repub lican party
in our State from the shame and dis
grace which the negro leaders and
many of their followers brought upon
| it, met with the most en- thusiastic ap-
prevail of our patriotic Republicans In
every section of the State The short
ness OF time, however, the political
agitation prevailing at the approach
Ing election, and the hesitation on
the part of many prominent Republi-
cans in Texas to lend their influence
and personal effort in behalf of the
movement, though heartily in accord
with it, for the reason that having
participated in the proceedings OF
the Republican State Convention at
San Antonio, made it impracticable
to put state ticket in the field, as
contemplated, or to effect thorough
reorganization OF the party, before the
election.
Now, fellow Repu blicans, while the
work has been delayed, IL should not
be Abandoned; and it is your sacred
duty to restore republicanism in
Texas to the dignity and respectable
ty to which 1T is entitled by the merit
of its wise and patriotic principles
nla 10 hn
agitation has ceased, there is no can
didste to interfere, and the profess
siona politician has retired from the
field of bribery and corruption, which
he occupies with his well trained
army of dupes and followers during
election time Let us therefore begin
the good work right now, and reor-
ganize the Republican party in Texas,
so as to place its management and
control in the hands of White Re-
publicans, who alone are capable of
securing a firm basis for the future
existence of republicanism in Texas.
We therefore call upon all white
republicans throughout the state of
Texas to meet in mass convention, on
Wednesday, December 10th, at p.
M, in the city of Houston, to deliber-
ate upon and adopt plan of reorgan-
ization of the republican party in Tex
as, which will place it's management
and control in the hands of wise and
patriotic white republicans only.
Let every section of of our great
state, and let every class of our good
citizens in sympathy with the move
ments the professional men, the man
ufacturer. the merchant, the farmer,
the artisan and the laborer he repre-
sen ted in the convention of the people,
the sole aim of which Is to purify our
politics, to foster patriotism, and to
spread the knowledge of true republic
can principles among our fellow cit
liens.
Thousands of our best citizens from
every part of the state will assemble
on the same day at Houston, viz the
Masonic fraternity in their annual
conclave, the real estate dealers of
Texas in their first State convention,
and the accredited delegates from
every town, and from every profession,
industry and pursuit, in the Worlds
Fair Convention. Every railroad
leading to Houston has granted re-
duced fare for this occasion, tickets
good from the 9th to the 18th of Dec
emher, and Houston is prepared to
extend it's cordial hospitality to every
delegate.
