years,
In Texas they had fought warmly for
something dearer the integrity of the
party, and now we are asked TO cover
thes asst, as with the blanket Of forget
fulness. He had no hard thoughts for
those who were misled into following
Clark, but for their leaders, especially
Clark, who had tried to aid the Repub-
lican TO destroy the solid South, he
would say down with them forever.
Clark owes much Of his reputation for
smartness to venal press, and yet this
man, honored by the Democracy Of the
state, had tried to stab her. George
Clark's love for Democracy was like
mat OF Abner's OF old, who stabbed in
the back as he put his arm about his
friend.
The speaker said he had been intro
dtuced as a friend Of Hogg's. but all his
hearer5 knew him as well as the speak
err did, for no was citizen OF Texas
known TO all the other citizens as one
who had studied the material interests
OF the state No man was more devot-
cd TO the true interests Of all the people
than Jim Hogg, and yet no one had
been 50 misrepresented by a bought-up
press; HIS great wrong, or sin
IN the eyes OF the press, was
that he forced corporations to obey the
laws, as tho people had to obey the law,
and this you were told was demagogy.
Geo. w. Finger was int oduoed BY
Sam Rosenheld, Us the chairman OF the
county campaign committee, who led
the hosts 10 victory. Mr.. Finger re-
Joiced for the great victory over all the
powers Of capital, all the railroads, a

TO promises Of the way Hogg would
make the corporations obey the laws.

Of Parker, was introduced by Mr..
Swayne.
He was glad to be here to aid In the

lie highly praised Cleveland, who was
defeated four years ago because he was
IN advance Of the American people ON
the tarih question, and yet, remaining
true to the people, he had his
reward reward in this victory of
1872. His election meant forever
the driving from power of the corrupt
ttrusthreediug people Expressing the
Republican party. He saw better DAYS
IN store for all the people, for no force
bill was possible, and the excessive tax
atlon OF the protective tariff would be
lessened, and also he saw more truly

ions OF our ,mmon country, until we
should indeed, be one band Of brothers
united to work 10 raise our country to
grander heights Of general prosperity.
In Texas they had made great fight
against the Republican party and It's
so-called Democratic allies, aud to-day

OF the organized Democracy OF the
state.

He referred toJudge Beckham as the
