able condition Of the affairs Of our state
Is such that the general welfare de.
mands at our hands, as patriotic citi-
zens, the defeat OF James =. Hogg and
the election Of some one In his stead
who will give TO Texas liberal and
progressive administration, aud to this
end we earnestly recommend to the
Republicans Of our state the election Of
Hon. George Clark
1t now becomes tho imperative duty
OF every Republican In Texas who has
the welfare OF the state at heart, and
who feels the necessity for good govern
mont, to stand by the action OF the Re-
publican convention held in the city Of
Fort Worth, September 10 and II, 1892,
and not only sec to IL that George
Clark for governor Is on your ticket
with your presidential electors, but also
see to it that the world knows that you
are one Of those who believe in turn
| ing Texas loose.n
in conclusion IL would be well 10 sub
init in part the following extract from
an editorial which appeared in the ST.
Louis Globc-Dcmocrut, the greatest
| Republican paper Of the west, showing
that the action OF Texas Republicans
meets with approval from all Republic
| can quarters.
I'm this spirit the Republicans have
| endorsed Judge Clark as a candidate
| for governor. He is a Democrat but no
is not q bourbon. His purity refused TO
nominate him because its convention
was controlled by the element which
| has reduced Texas to her present UNI
happy plight. He is opposed TO the
disastrous legislation OF recent years
and to the pernicious practices Of the
officials who have boon conducting the
| public business. His candidacy repre-
sents a revolt against bOurbonism, and
that Is a sufficient reason why he should
be supported by every voter who has
the best interests Of the state at heart.
II does not matter what he believes
about the tariff, the currency or any
other national issue. Those questions
are not involved in the controversy,
strictly speaking.
HE IS AN HONEST MAN,
and straightforward enemy Of bad
government In the event Of his cleo
ton Texas will take a new start and
move forward on a career OF substan-
tlHl and increasing prosperity. This Is
u cOnsamution to be earnestly desired,
regardless OF all partisan differences Of
opinion and aflliatidu. Democrats and
Republicans can well afford 10 Join
hands in the work Of bringing about
such reformation. IL Is not necessary
for them to yield any Of their respect
I've convictions upon subjects Of RFud-
| oral character. The main thing 30 far
| us the matter OF tho government Is
concerned, is to displace the present in
cumbent with man OF modern in
stincts and progressive purposes, and
Judge Clark is known to DO man OF
that kind
In my personal and official capacity,
] recognize the recommendation OF the
Republican convention AS sacred and as
binding as II "a nomination had been
made. The executive committee of the
state, and the national Republican ex-
ecutivo committee, so regard it, Then
TO every Republican let me say, and
curnestly plead with you that every
difference, If any exist, be laid aside.
and that Ia solid phalnux we euter tho
contest for everything that Is dear TO
US, We are patriots, not partisans In IA
political campaign, where Texas and
tho best interests OF Texas arc con
oernud,
We aim TO raise the standard OF Re-
puhlicNnlsm so high In tho South that
hereafter the name Republican ad-
dressed 10 any citizen OF this great COM
monwealth Of ours will be equivalent to
tho name patriot and Texan.
Very Sincerely Yours,
N. b, MOORE,
Chairman Republican State Executive
Committee.
