We are pleased to learn that the
floor of the hall, at the State meet
ing is to be kept absolutely free from
all persons not constitutionally en-
titled to admission-and that the
platform will not be occupied this
year by the crowd who took posses
sion last January. In fact, this ses-
sion is to be solely and entirely for
business. The ''gang" have not i'm
ported Ashby this year, and the

Our friend l. H. Flint, asks us if a
district clerk or teacher has the right
to refuse the use OF school house to
an alliance. We shall say, No, al
though not fully posted in the mat
ter. The trustees could do so-but
not single officer, or a teacher. The
alliance itself is not political organ
ization, and it would be unwise to
thrust out even political meeting OF
an organized party.

from $19, 900 to $4,000, 900. The
resolution instituting the boycott was
adopted unanimously as follows:

contraction or expansion. On this
principle, which we believe is sane
toned and inculcated by many of our
wisest statesmen, including the i'm
mortal Jefferson, we have no COM
promise to offer. We know that each
year the people are forced to submit to
extortionate robbery, because of a
want of such circulating medium in
that country, and they are not willing
to submit to this enforced scarcity, in
the interest and for the benefit of the
money lenders of Wall street.
We announce our purpose, and the
purpose of all those who think with us,
to remain democratic, despite the
eagerness of Mr.. Finley to get rid of
us, and to make fight for our princi-
pies, which are essentially democratic.
We are democrats ito the manner
born" and we serve notice on Mr.. Fin
ley and his instigators and co-conspir-
ators, that when the battle cry is
sounded we will be found on the demo-
cratic battlefield, as we have always
been, with the old democratic flag
floating at the head of our column, pre-
pared to give our best service to the
cause of the people, and with full
determination to slay our foes in front,
and such traitors as may fire into us
from ambush in the rear.
If war among democrats must come,
because of our determination to exer-
else the rights of free American citizen
ship and to think for ourselves without
taking the advice of some "boss," the
responsibility must rest upon other
shoulders than ours. We are ready for
peace or war, prescribing no man for
opinions sake, and equally determined
that no man shall prescribe us; and
we call upon all democrats in Texas
as we'll as others who think with us
and the liberal minded who differ from
us, to organize at once in every con-
gressional district, county and voting
precinct, for the preservation Of pure
Jeffersonian democracy, in this grand
old commonwealth, and the rescue of
democracy from the hands of bucca-
neers, who seem determined in their in
science to destroy it, unless they are
permitted to run it for their exclusive
benefit, and that of their fellow spoils-

At 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon
Warden vandercook made the discovery
that three prisoners had escaped from the
penitentiary.
A new outer wall had just been COM
pleted, surrounding the entire prison,
which it was believed would make escape
impossible. The full terrors of prison life
stared the trio in the face and they put
their heads together and devised plan of
eecape. They were at work leveling to the
ground the old abode wall that was al
lowed to stand until the new wall
was finished. The sun-dried brick
were loaded into wagon
and cart in which they were hauled out
through the gate into the ravine on the out
side. The convicts saw their opportunity.
The wagons were driven by convicts who
had gained the confidence of the warden
by good behavior. Having secured their
on the bottom of the wagon, while the
drivers loaded it up with brick, completely
covering the conyicts. As the wagon
passed the gate the guard saw nothing but
a load of adobes and il was allowed to pass
on. The sentineis armed with Winchester
rifles on the walls were as easily eluded.
