be here that the first breach Ia its ranks will |
occur, if it has MT already occurred, which
will inevitably destroy the order. In The last
fall elections the democratic members Of the
Alliance voted solid.y together, aud it is ex-
tremely doub:fu if they would do so at this
juncture, for it is q common thing now to
hear democratic members Of the Alliance
| denounce officials whom they helped TO
elect less than year ago; aud what does
| this mean? 1t certainly means detection
| in democratic Alliance ranks. 1t is reasona-
bic to suppose that the cause is attributable
to the political schemcrs of the State, rather
than any lack of the faithful performance
| Of their duties of such officials rs are being
denounced. This is the only conclusion one
| can arrive at.
Gov. Jas. s. Hogg, who rode into office
upon the stiff political breeze which passed
through the farming elements Of Texas last
year, is the principal target at which most
Of the hot shot from this same element of
voters fly. Mr.. Hogg has made Toxas o

but his oder f'ieuds; some of them who
grew up with and near him in boyhood but
he has had the laws Of the State executed as
impartially rs any Governor ever did. AT
all events, he is becoming very unpopular
with q certain class throughout the entire
State. l am sure the class referred to, how
ever, have no real cause for disliking him,
but it is believed by many that those who
e so much dspleascd with his sdmiuistra-
ton have been influenced by merceuaries Of
the people, and II t friends of the people, as
they pretend to be.
1t is q lameutahle fact, bit fact neverlhe-
less, that many Of our good people are being
misled by these sub-treasury schemers, who
no doubt are instilling erroneous ideas into
the minds of many good men in the demo
cratic party, some of whom will doubtless
be led as,rsy and will not realize it, perhaps,
until it is too late for them to correct the
error of their ways before the elections in
1892.
