Why did the HOgg man endeavor
10 elect Hogg delegates to the county
convention if they did not approve of
an expression on the guberanatiorial
question? They are entitled to no
kick because they would have done
just as did the Clark men if they had
obtained a majority.

Will THE CONVENTION Sc REMOVED

The Houston Post a few days ago
had an editorial notice of a rumOr
afoat in Houston to the effect that
the state convention would be remov-
ed from Houston if Harris county
did not instruct for Hogg. The Post
did not seem to give oredence to the
rumor but dealt singing rebuke to
the spirit that prompted such tactics.
1t closed with the declaration that
Houston would comply with her con.
tract to the letter as regards the pre-
parations for the convention and Har-
ris county would vote as she pleased.
In yesterdays Post appears commu-
nication from Major Looscan all ar.
dent Hogg man which rather con-
firms the report that such a step was
contemplated, though he attempts to
deny it, Mr.. Looscan says:
THE convention was brought here
through the executive committee by
the friends of the Hogg adminlstra
ton, aud defy The Post or any one
now enlisted in Judge Clark's service
to name an advocate of Judge Clark
or that commission who voted for
Houston for the location. There is
one thing certain, that if it had been
known to the state executive commit
tee that the Republicans of this place,
in behalf of the Liquor association,
would cooperate to openly fight the
administration and raise subscriptions
for the Clark club, it is certain they
would never have selected Houston
The location of the convention at
Houston entirely depends upon the
report of the subcommittee which
was appointed to visit Houston and
examine into her conveniences fol-
such convention, and if their report be
adverse, then the matter reverts to
the state executive committee for fur.
Their action" The sub. committee has
visited Houston and it was just after
this visit that the report of the re-
moval of the convention was circuIat
ed. There is just two ways
and only two, to account for
this report. A removal of the con.
vention is contemplated or the report
was circulated to influence voters in
the city Of Houston which has de.
monstrated beyond question its prefer
ence for Clark. Either one of these
methods is contemplate and mean and

ity OF the state executive committee
could be brought to countenance any
thing of the kind, but, if the sub-com.
mittee makes an adverse report they
will of course do it upon other grounds

TO The JoURNAL:-I have been close
observer Of facts concerning your Borough.
You haye now had rum selling under the
sanction Of the Legislature, and the voters,
tor about fourteen months. We speak
thoughtfully, we make no rash assertions,
yet We say there has been much NOR e
drinking, much more selling, much more
drunkenness, much more damage, misery
aud decentralization during that fourteen
months than during the whole ten years
local option was enjoyed.
The drunken rows, and disgracefnl
carousals, the cursing and swearing in the
streets Of your town at night during the las,
few weeks, and especially on the night Of
Feb. 9th, when rum ruled and held high
carnival, justifes me in saying that if we
compare rum selling under license and our
rum smuggling under local option, the
result is one hundred times as much
rum sold, one hundred times as much rum
drank, one hundred times as much drunk
enness, one hundred times as much sin,
sorrow, decentralization under present con-
dition of things. Let us be fair and
acknowledge the truth, when we know ii,
the standard Of morals and intelligence of
our section is fast going down to lower
level, and If any one disbelieves it, how do
they reconcile the disgraceful and shameful
conduct Of a lot of rowdies and roughs at the
West Nottingham Parsonage on the evening
ofthe 4th inst. Court and jails are useless
when they don't handle and detain such
miserable miscreants, and lawyers disgrace
their once noble calling when they defend
them. S.

The question is narrowed down to
this syllOgism. The banker has
money to sell and produce to buy.
He wants dear money and cheap

have produce and labor to sell and
money to buy. Ifthey are entirely
sensible they want cheap money and
dear produce. The politicians and
the money loaners fool them badly on
this point by crying out good
money" "honest dollar.' They stop
here and do not add dear money.
They mean it all the same. Win
